Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Booziful. This application is a non-commercial, educational project developed as part of an engineering thesis. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal data you share with us.

2. Data Collection & Usage

We do not use any third-party tracking services or marketing pixels. The data we collect is strictly limited to what is necessary for the application's functionality.

The data stored in our database includes:

• Email Address: Required for logging in and account recovery.
• Username: Required for identification within the app.
• Name & Surname (Optional): You may voluntarily provide this information to be displayed on your user profile.

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or transfer your personal data to outside parties. Your data is stored securely in our database and is used solely to maintain your user session and personalize your experience (e.g., saving favorite recipes).

4. Cookies

This application uses only essential cookies (technical cookies) required for the authentication process. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

5. Data Retention & Account Deletion

As this is a demonstration project, we reserve the right to reset the database upon the project's completion. You have the right to request the deletion of your account at any time. If you choose to delete your account:

• Personal Data: Your private information (email, username, profile details) will be permanently deleted from our servers.
• Public Content: Public content you have created (e.g., recipes, articles, collections, comments) will not be deleted. Instead, it will be anonymized and reassigned to a generic placeholder account (e.g., "Deleted User"). This ensures the continuity and integrity of the application's content.
