Tare-it — Privacy Notice

Last updated: September 23, 2026

Tare-it (tare-it.com) is operated by Birch Labs B.V. (“Tare-it”, “we”, “us”). This Privacy Notice explains how we process personal data in connection with our website and services and describes your data protection rights.

Who is responsible for your data

Birch Labs B.V. is the controller of your personal data. For privacy questions or requests, contact [email protected]. Our address and registration details are in the legal notice.

What we collect

We process the account and profile information you provide, including your email address, display name and avatar, to operate your account and send account-related communications. If you sign in through Google, we receive the profile information it shares with us, including your email address and name. We also store content and preferences you save or submit, such as recipes, versions, notes, photos, ratings, reviews and saved recipe lists.

Recipes and versions are not public by default. Shared recipe links can be opened by anyone who has the link, and recipients can save their own copies. Reviews submitted for publication are public and displayed with your chosen display name. Photos submitted for publication can be displayed publicly, with attribution where you choose to provide it.

When you contact us, send feedback or report a problem, we process your message, the information you include and related context, such as the relevant page and your account or contact details, to handle the request. We use support, email and issue-tracking providers for this purpose, as described below.

Why we process your data

We process account information, saved content and subscription data as necessary to provide the services you request under our agreement with you. We process records required by tax, accounting and other applicable laws to meet our legal obligations. We rely on our legitimate interests to secure and improve the Service, understand usage, handle enquiries, prevent fraud and abuse, and establish, exercise or defend legal claims, where those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests. Where consent is required, including for certain optional media or browser-storage activities, we obtain it separately.

Advertising, browser storage and usage statistics

We do not sell your personal data, share it for third-party marketing or use it for advertising profiles or personalized ads. We collect and retain usage and technical data, including page views, referral information, IP addresses and browser information, to operate, secure and improve the Service, including troubleshooting and understanding usage patterns. We analyse these data as needed for those purposes. We use browser storage for sign-in and settings. Optional third-party features may involve additional processing, as described below. Where consent is required for browser storage or a particular processing activity, we request it separately.

Optional third-party media

Some recipes include embedded YouTube videos using YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode. The player loads automatically with the recipe, but the video plays only when you press play. Loading the player sends technical information, including your IP address, browser information and our site's origin, to YouTube. YouTube may use cookies or similar storage and process your interactions under Google's privacy policy. You can use the recipe without playing the video.

Services we rely on

We use technology and payment service providers for hosting, data storage, authentication, traffic delivery, security, email delivery, support, issue tracking, error monitoring and payment processing. These providers process personal data in connection with those services. Providers acting on our behalf are subject to appropriate data protection obligations.

Payments are handled by the checkout provider identified when you subscribe, whose privacy information is available at checkout. Payment details are collected directly by that provider. We process subscription and transaction information, customer and payment references, and any cancellation feedback you provide to administer subscriptions, handle refunds and meet accounting obligations.

Our providers may process personal data in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United States and other countries where they or their subprocessors operate. For transfers outside the EEA, we use applicable lawful transfer mechanisms, such as a European Commission adequacy decision or standard contractual clauses. Contact [email protected] for information about the safeguards applicable to your data or a copy of them.

Download or delete your data

You can download your account data or delete your account through Account → Privacy in the app. Account deletion also cancels your subscription and removes your account and associated personal data from active use, subject to the retention described below. Subscription refunds are handled under Section 2 of the Terms of Service.

We retain personal data for as long as needed for the purposes described in this Notice. Account data is generally kept while your account remains active. After deletion, we may retain payment records to complete refunds and meet tax and accounting requirements, support records to resolve outstanding matters, and limited records where necessary to prevent fraud or abuse or establish, exercise or defend legal claims. Retention depends on the applicable legal requirements, the status of the matter and how long the records remain necessary for that purpose. Deleted data may remain in backups until those backups are overwritten in the normal backup cycle.

Content you shared with other users may remain available to them after you delete it or your account, subject to applicable data protection rights. Account deletion may not remove personal information included in support messages or copies held in support and issue-tracking systems. You can contact us to request deletion of personal data in those records, subject to applicable retention requirements.

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to, correction or deletion of your personal data, restriction of or objection to its processing, and a portable copy of your data. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of earlier processing. To exercise your rights, contact [email protected]. You may complain to the Dutch Data Protection Authority or another competent data protection authority.
