Teshio Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 27, 2026
This policy explains how BIG KINGYO (“we”, “us”) handles information in the Teshio app for iPhone and iPad (the “App”).
1. Our approach
The App is designed so that we do not collect your personal information. There are no accounts, no advertising, and no usage analytics. Everything you enter or save in the App stays on your device (and, if you turn it on, in your own iCloud account). We never see or receive your data.
2. Information handled on your device
The App uses the following information on your device only. None of it is sent to us.
| Information | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Recipes (names, ingredients, steps, notes, photos, videos), cooking logs, meal plans, shopping lists, author names and photos | To provide the App’s features |
| Photo library and camera | To attach photos you choose and to read text from cookbooks or notes (text recognition runs on your device) |
| Microphone | To record sound when you film a step video |
| Reminders | To add items when you export a shopping list to Reminders |
| Health | If you allow it, to write the nutrition of meals you ate (energy, protein, fat, carbohydrates, salt) to the Health app |
| Notifications | To alert you when a cooking timer ends |
Health (HealthKit) data
The App writes nutrition entries to Health only with your permission. It never reads Health data. Health data is not stored in the App or in iCloud, and is never sent to us or to third parties. We do not use Health data for advertising, marketing, or data mining, and we do not sell it.
3. Network connections
The App connects to the internet only in these cases:
- Importing from a recipe website: when you enter a URL, the App loads that page and its photo. The website receives your device’s connection information (such as your IP address) and your language settings. That website’s own privacy policy applies.
- Followed sites: when the App shows new posts from websites or YouTube channels you follow, it loads their feeds (such as RSS). Those sites receive your device’s connection information (such as your IP address).
- In-app browser: when you open a website inside the App, that site may store cookies and similar data on your device, as in any browser. That website’s own privacy policy applies.
- Translation: recipes are translated with Apple’s on-device translation. Language files are downloaded through Apple’s services.
- Purchases: in-app purchases are processed by the App Store. Apple handles your payment information; we never receive it.
- iCloud: if you use iCloud sync or backup, your data is stored in your own iCloud account on Apple’s servers. We cannot access it.
4. Sharing with third parties
Because we do not collect your information, we do not share it with anyone.
5. Children
The App is not directed at children, and we do not collect personal information from anyone, regardless of age.
6. Deleting your data
You can delete data inside the App, or delete the App from your device. Data stored in iCloud can be deleted from your device’s Settings.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example, under the GDPR in the EU/UK, the CCPA in California, or the LGPD in Brazil), you may have rights to access or delete personal data. Since we hold no personal data about you, there is nothing for us to provide or delete; your data remains under your control on your device and in iCloud.
8. Changes to this policy
We will post any changes on this page. If we ever change how information is collected (for example, by adding analytics), we will tell you in the App or on this page beforehand.
