Hanip Privacy Policy

Effective: September 11, 2026

Last updated: October 19, 2026

Hanip processes only the information needed to keep your food memories safe and provide the features you choose. We do not track you for advertising.

1. Information we process

• When you use the app only on your device: Dishes, restaurants, ratings, dates, tags, notes, selected photos, and place information are stored on your device.
• When you use Sign in with Apple and cloud sync: Your account identifier, device and session identifiers generated by the app, food entries, places and coordinates, tags, notes, ratings, visit dates, and selected photos are sent to the server over encrypted connections.
• When you share or paste social posts: Web links and text you provide are stored on this device. The shared inbox, before items are added to your wishlist, is excluded from cloud sync and backups. Source links and shared text saved to your wishlist are included in backup files you save and restore, but are not automatically synced to the cloud. Dish information you confirm and add, and source links included in notes when you create a food entry, are included in that entry's sync and backup. We do not automatically read your clipboard or collect social posts.
• When you add a wishlist item from a link: To find dish and restaurant suggestions in a link you share or paste, the app may send that link to Hanip's server, or open it on your device, to read the public page title and description and, for map links, the place name and address. Only the link is sent for this purpose; no account information is attached beyond what is needed to call the server. The server does not store the page content it reads and uses it only to suggest dishes and restaurants.
• When you use screenshot assistance: Apple Vision reads text on your device from up to three images you select individually using the system photo picker. You can edit the recognized text. This feature does not retain selected images in the app, send them to a server, or extract location metadata. Analysis that you do not use is discarded when you close the editor. Text you choose to save in dish or restaurant fields is stored with that item.
• When on-device AI finds additional suggestions: On supported devices, opening the shared-item editor or adding screenshot clues lets an Apple Foundation Models on-device model automatically analyze parts of the shared and recognized text to supplement suggestions. You can cancel or retry analysis. Suggestions are applied to fields only when you select them. No text or images are sent to external AI servers for analysis. Basic analysis, text recognition, and manual entry remain available when on-device AI is unavailable.
• When you search for places: Search terms or nearby-search coordinates pass through Hanip's server to the Kakao Local API or Google Places API. In the wishlist, search terms are sent when you run a restaurant search, or when the app checks real restaurant candidates using the restaurant name and area found in a shared link; screenshot images are not sent. To prevent abuse, we process a daily pseudonymous quota key derived from your IP address prefix. The original IP address is not stored in that quota store.
• When you get friend notifications: To tell you about friend requests and acceptances, the server stores your device's push notification token, app language, and friend notification setting, and sends notifications that include the other person's name through the Apple Push Notification service (APNs). The token is deleted when you sign out or delete your account.
• When you use Go Together lists: The server stores the list name and the dishes and restaurants (with address and coordinates) added to it, and shows them to the list's members with the name and @handle of the person who added them. When a member adds a dish or invites you, a notification with the list name and dish name is sent through APNs. Items you added stay in a list after you leave it; deleting your account deletes the lists you created and every item you added.
• When you turn on Nearby Wishlist Alerts: To let you know when you are near a saved restaurant, even with the app closed, the app uses iOS region monitoring (up to 20 nearby restaurants) and significant location changes. Your location and alert history stay on your device and are not sent to our server. Turning the feature off stops monitoring and clears this history.
• When you turn on Suggest Today's Food Photos: Photos taken today (only the photos you allowed, if you gave limited access) are classified on your device with Apple Vision to find food photos. Photos and results are not sent to our server.
• Siri and Spotlight: Dish and restaurant names and dates from your entries and wishlist are added to the Spotlight index on your device so you can search for them. The index stays on your device and is cleared when you sign out or switch accounts.

2. How we use information

We use this information to store, restore, and sync entries; search for places; suggest dishes and restaurants from shared links; authenticate and delete accounts; protect the service; respond to technical issues; and limit request volume.

3. Service providers

• Apple: Sign in with Apple
• Oracle Cloud Infrastructure: hosting for the server Hanip operates itself (authentication, database, file storage, and server functions). Cloud-synced data is stored on this server in South Korea (Chuncheon region).
• Cloudflare: relaying the encrypted connection between the app and the server, and the place-search rate-limit gateway
• Kakao and Google: place-search results

These services may process technical information, such as connection logs, under their own terms and privacy policies while providing their services.

4. Retention and deletion

Entries on your device are kept until you delete them in the app or remove the app's data. Cloud-synced data is retained while your account is active. Using Delete Account in Settings starts the deletion process for your account and cloud entries. Minimal processing logs for security and technical troubleshooting may be retained for a limited period under applicable laws or service providers' legitimate retention periods.

5. Your choices and rights

Sign in with Apple and cloud sync are optional. You can change camera, photo, location, and notification permissions in iOS Settings at any time. In the app's Settings, you can pause sync, sign out, or delete your account.

6. Tracking and advertising

Hanip does not display third-party advertising or track you across other companies' apps or websites.

8. Changes to this policy

If the information we process or how we process it changes, we will update this page and its effective date.
