TIN is a native iOS app for tinned-fish (conservas) recipes, published by Auralith Labs LLC. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect when you use TIN, how we use and protect it, and what choices you have.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not use it for advertising. We do not share it with third parties except as described in this policy.
This policy applies to all users of the TIN app. TIN is intended for users who are 13 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If we learn that we have collected information from a user under 13, we will delete that information and terminate the account promptly.
| Data | When collected | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Apple user identifier | When you sign in with Apple | To create and maintain your account |
| Display name | When you set up your profile | To identify you to other users |
| Username (handle) | When you set up your profile | Unique identifier within the App |
| Bio | If you choose to add one | Optional profile information |
| Profile photo | If you choose to upload one | Displayed on your public profile |
| Recipes (title, ingredients, steps, photos, tags) | When you create a recipe | To populate the community recipe feed |
| Recipe photos | When you attach them to a recipe | To display within the recipe |
| Age confirmation | On first launch | To verify you meet the age requirement |
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Account creation timestamp | Account management |
| Recipe submission and publication timestamps | Moderation records |
| Favorites and blocks (stored as your user ID + target ID) | To provide these features |
| Reports you file (stored as your user ID + target ID + reason) | To enable moderation |
| EULA acceptance version and timestamp | Legal compliance record |
We use the information described above only to:
We do not use your information for advertising, profiling, or any automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
Your display name, handle, bio, profile photo, and any recipes you have submitted and had approved are visible to all users of the App, including users who are not signed in.
We use Supabase, Inc. to host our database, authentication service, and file storage. Supabase processes your data on our behalf and is contractually required to protect it. Supabase does not use your data for its own purposes.
We use Apple's Sign in with Apple service for authentication. Apple's privacy practices are governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
We may disclose your information if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to: (a) comply with applicable law or legal process; (b) protect the rights, property, or safety of Auralith Labs, our users, or the public; or (c) detect, prevent, or address fraud or security issues.
If Auralith Labs is acquired, merges with another company, or sells substantially all of its assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via the App or email (if we have one for you) before your information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
| Data | Retention |
|---|---|
| Active account data | Retained while your account is active |
| Drafts and unpublished recipes | Retained until you delete them or your account |
| Published recipes | Retained; if you delete your account, your name is replaced with "deleted user" on recipes that remain public |
| Reports and moderation actions | Retained for 24 months for safety and legal audit purposes |
| Signed URLs for photos | Never persisted; generated fresh on demand and expire within 1 hour |
We implement industry-standard security measures including:
No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we will notify you of any breach affecting your data as required by applicable law.
You can view and edit your display name, handle, and bio within the App at any time. You can replace or remove your profile photo within the App.
You can delete your draft and unpublished recipes within the App. Published recipes cannot be deleted by you directly (this prevents circumventing the moderation record), but you may contact us at hello@auralithlabs.dev to request removal.
You can delete your account from within the App (Settings → Delete Account). Account deletion permanently removes your profile, favorites, blocks, and reports filed by you. Published recipes are anonymized (your name is replaced with "deleted user") rather than deleted, to preserve the community content record. Unpublished and draft recipes are hard-deleted.
You can block other users from within the App, which hides their content from your feed. You can report recipes or users using the in-app report tool.
If you use Sign in with Apple's "Hide My Email" feature, Apple provides us with a private relay email address. We do not receive your real Apple ID email. You can revoke the App's access to your Apple ID at any time through your Apple ID settings, which will effectively sign you out.
If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we collect and disclose, the right to delete personal information, and the right to non-discrimination for exercising these rights.
To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@auralithlabs.dev. We do not sell personal information, so there is no opt-out of sale to provide.
TIN is currently available in the United States and Canada. The service is operated in the United States. All data is stored and processed in the United States.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the version number and prompting you to review and re-accept within the App. The "Effective date" at the top of this policy indicates when it was last updated. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
