Privacy Policy

Geusaie · Last updated October 16, 2026

Geusaie does not collect personal information. There is no account, no login, no ads, and no third-party analytics. Your recipes and cooking history never leave your device. To learn how many people use the app and to fix errors, it sends only anonymous usage statistics and error reports.

Information we collect

We do not collect personal information. We do not collect or transmit your name, email, phone number, location, contacts, or photos. The developer cannot tell what you cooked. The only things that leave your device are the items listed under “Anonymous usage statistics” below.

Anonymous usage statistics

To learn how many people use the app and to fix errors, Geusaie sends the following anonymous statistics to Apple iCloud (CloudKit). Only the developer can read them.

• A random ID created at install (not linked to you, your Apple ID, your device, or other apps; it changes if you reinstall)
• App version, iOS version, region and language settings
• How many times and on which days the app was opened, the install date, and the number of days since installation
• Error reports when the app freezes or quits (app version, iOS version, device type, technical details of the error)

These do not include anything you create, such as names, contacts, locations, or recipes. They are sent only while you are signed in to iCloud.

What is stored on your device

• Text size setting — so the app looks the same the next time you open it.
• The date you first opened the app and how many times you opened it — used for the anonymous usage statistics above.

These values are stored on your device and are deleted when you delete the app.

Microphone and speech recognition

When you turn on the microphone on the cooking screen, the app uses speech recognition to catch a single word, “next”.

• No recordings are saved. Audio is discarded once it has been recognized.
• If your device supports it, recognition is processed entirely on the device (on-device recognition).
• If your device does not support on-device recognition, iOS may send the audio to Apple’s speech recognition service while processing it. That processing follows Apple’s Privacy Policy. The developer neither receives nor stores this audio.
• The microphone works only when you turn it on in the cooking screen, and it turns off when you leave the screen. You can turn it off at any time.

Notifications

The app uses only local notifications created on your device to tell you when a pot is done. It does not use a push server, and notification content never leaves your device.

Third parties and tracking

The app contains no third-party code of any kind, including ad networks, analytics tools, and crash reporting tools. Anonymous usage statistics and error reports are sent to Apple iCloud by a shared library the developer wrote (LeeoKit) and are not passed on to any other company. We do not track you.

Children

The app is not directed at children, and it collects no one’s personal information regardless of age. The anonymous usage statistics cannot be traced to any individual.

Your rights

Because we collect no personal information, there is nothing to access, correct, or delete. Anonymous usage statistics are not linked to you, so a specific person’s data cannot be singled out. Settings stored on your device are all deleted when you delete the app, and reinstalling creates a new random ID.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the last-updated date above.
