Your pantry is personal.
Last updated: August 9, 2026. Yumio uses only the information needed to suggest recipes, guide cooking, restore saved cooking progress, and answer questions about a recipe step.
Information the app processes
- Your selected or custom ingredients, diet mode, serving count, language, and recipe choices.
- A randomly generated installation identifier used to reconnect saved recipes, cooking progress, and step conversations. Yumio does not require an account in the current version.
- Photos you choose to scan. The app converts the selected image to JPEG and sends it to the recipe service for visual ingredient analysis.
- Messages you send to Chef Panda and the recipe-step context required to answer them.
- Technical request information normally handled by hosting infrastructure, such as IP address and request time.
How information is used
We use this information to identify visible ingredients, generate personalized recipe suggestions, produce cooking steps, preserve your progress, answer step-specific questions, keep the service reliable, and prevent abuse.
Storage and sharing
Saved recipe and chat data is stored in Yumio's hosted database. Recipe, chat, and scan requests may be processed by infrastructure and AI service providers solely to operate the requested feature. We do not sell personal information or use pantry photos for advertising.
Your choices
Camera and photo access are optional. You can continue by selecting ingredients manually. You can also change the app language in Settings and manage notification permission in iOS Settings.
Do not include faces, addresses, documents, or other sensitive information in ingredient-scan photos.
Simple rules for a useful cooking companion.
Yumio provides recipe ideas and cooking assistance for general informational purposes. Check allergies, food safety, appliance instructions, ingredient condition, internal temperatures, and dietary requirements yourself. AI-generated suggestions can be incomplete or incorrect.
Subscriptions
The current in-app paywall is a design preview and cannot complete a purchase. When subscriptions are enabled, the final price and billing period shown in Apple's purchase sheet will control. Auto-renewable subscriptions can be managed or canceled in your Apple ID subscription settings.
License and platform terms
Use of the iOS app is also governed by Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement.
Acceptable use
Do not misuse the service, attempt to disrupt it, upload unlawful material, or treat the app as professional medical or nutritional advice. Features may change as Yumio develops.
