Copper is built to respect your privacy. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. Last updated November 2026.
You can use Copper without an account. Your passport, your recipes, your dish photos, “My fridge” and your shopping list are stored on your phone only. We never sell your data, and there are no ads in Copper.
Your first name and your passport photo (both optional), your passport and its stamps, the recipes you open and cook, your dish photos, “My fridge”, your shopping list and your settings are saved on this device only. They are not synced to our servers: if you delete the app or change phones, they do not follow you.
You can create an account with Sign in with Apple or with an email and a password. We then store your email address (with Apple, it can be a private relay address), a display name and the date you last opened the app. This keeps your subscription linked to you and lets Copper remind you after a few days without cooking. Your passport and your recipes are not uploaded.
To understand where Copper is confusing and improve it, the app sends a few anonymous events: app opened, onboarding step reached, recipe opened or cooked, cooking mode used, dart thrown, subscription screen seen, trial started or purchase made, return after 1 or 7 days. Each event carries the app version, language, platform, the number of days since install, a random install ID created on your phone and sometimes the recipe or country concerned. It never includes your name, email, account, location, photos or an advertising ID, is not linked to you and is not used to track you across apps or websites. Events are stored with Supabase and deleted after 13 months. You can turn them off at any time in Settings → Usage statistics.
If you allow notifications, the evening idea (the country of the day and one of its dishes, around 6 pm), the cooking timer and the end-of-trial reminder are scheduled on your phone itself. You can turn them off in Settings → Notifications. If you have an account and keep the evening idea on, a notification token and your app language are stored with Supabase to remind you after a few days without cooking.
Copper uses your camera or your photo library only when you add a photo of a dish you cooked, or a photo for your passport. These photos are saved on your phone and are only shared if you choose to share them.
When you share a TikTok or YouTube video to Copper, your phone reads the public page of the post (TikTok) or the public title of the video (YouTube) to find the dish. Only the link you shared is used, without cookies or identifiers. For TikTok, the post number can be checked against our list of Copper posts. Nothing is kept.
We ask for your location only when you tap “Find a grocery store near me” in your shopping list, to open Apple Maps around you. We do not track you in the background and we do not store your location.
Copper Premium is sold by Apple through the App Store: we never see your payment details. To know whether your subscription is active, the app uses RevenueCat, which receives an anonymous app user ID (or the internal ID of your account, so your subscription follows you) and the history of your Copper purchases.
Supabase hosts the optional account, the notification token and the anonymous usage statistics on our behalf. Apple handles payments and Sign in with Apple; RevenueCat checks subscriptions. We use no advertising or tracking networks.
You can delete your account at any time from Settings → Delete my account. This removes your account, your profile and your notification token from our servers. Anonymous usage statistics are not linked to your account and are deleted after 13 months. Data on your phone is removed when you delete the app.
Copper is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.
