Maui is a meal-planning app, built by one person. This page explains what we collect when you use the app or this website, why we collect it, who else touches it, and what you can do about it.
Who we are: Eat With Maui LLC, a Texas limited liability company ("Maui," "we," "us"). You can reach us any time at hello@eatwithmaui.com.
If you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive your email address (or Apple's private relay address) and a sign-in identifier. You can also use Maui without signing in. We then create an anonymous account tied to your device so your plan and preferences still work.
Your allergies and ingredients you avoid, dietary style, disliked ingredients, favorite cuisines, spice tolerance, household size and make-up (adults, teens, young kids, never exact ages), and your cooking schedule. You give us these during setup, or later in Profile or chat, so the app can plan food you can actually eat.
A note on allergy information. Allergy and dietary information can be considered health related, and some dietary styles (halal and kosher, for example) can reveal religious belief. We collect this only because you volunteer it. We use it only to filter and flag food inside the app. We never sell it, never share it for advertising, and never use it for anything except making your plans and suggestions safe for you. You can remove it at any time in Profile.
The weekly plans Maui generates, meals you add or swap, recipes you save or edit, cook sessions you start and finish, and ratings you give dishes.
Messages you send to the in-app assistant, and its replies, are stored so your conversation keeps working across app launches. You can clear your chat history at any time in Profile, which deletes those messages outright. Chat messages are screened automatically for safety.
Subscriptions are handled by Apple. We never see or store your card number. We receive only subscription status: trial, active, or expired.
Crash reports and basic usage information (which screens opened, which features were used), so we can fix bugs and understand what is working. Crash reports are not tied to your account. A bot check (Cloudflare Turnstile) runs when plans are generated without an account, and when you sign up on this website.
If you join the waitlist we store your email address so we can tell you when Maui opens up, along with which link brought you here (for example Instagram or TikTok) so we know which posts people find useful. Every email we send has an unsubscribe link, and you can ask us to remove you at any time.
Precise location, your contacts, your photos, data from Apple Health, or advertising identifiers. We show no third-party ads.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not follow you across other apps or websites, so Maui shows no App Tracking Transparency prompt.
Maui's plans and chat are powered by Anthropic's Claude models. To answer you, we send Anthropic the content needed for that request: your chat message, a summary of your plan, and the preferences that shape the answer. That includes your allergies, because that is precisely what keeps suggested food safe for you.
Anthropic processes this as our service provider, under commercial terms that do not permit training models on it. We do not use your data to train models, and we do not sell it to anyone who would.
These companies process data on our behalf, only to provide their service to us:
If you live somewhere with specific privacy rights, such as California under the CCPA and CPRA, or the EU and UK under the GDPR, you may have further rights: access, correction, deletion, portability, and the right not to be treated differently for exercising them. Write to hello@eatwithmaui.com and we will verify the request through your signed-in account.
Maui is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data. Household make-up ("2 adults, 2 young kids") describes portion sizes, not people. We never collect names, ages, or any identifier for the people you cook for.
Data is stored with access controls (row-level security) so an account can only ever read its own rows. We keep your data while your account exists.
When you delete your account, deletion from the live database is immediate. Encrypted backups held by our hosting provider roll over on their own schedule, and we do not restore deleted accounts from them.
We will post changes on this page and update the date at the top. Material changes will be flagged in the app.
Questions, requests, or anything that looks wrong: hello@eatwithmaui.com.
