Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 10, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Send2Mealie ("we", "our", or "the Extension") handles information when you use our Chrome browser extension. The short version: we collect nothing. All communication is strictly between your browser and your own self-hosted Mealie server.

Information We Collect

We do not collect any personal data. The Extension does not transmit any information to us, to third parties, or to any external server operated by the Extension's developers.

Specifically, we do not collect:

  • Personal identification information (name, email, address)
  • Browsing history or activity
  • IP addresses or device identifiers
  • Cookies or tracking data
  • Usage analytics or telemetry
  • Recipe URLs or recipe content

How the Extension Works

Send2Mealie reads the URL of the current recipe page in your browser and sends it directly to the Mealie API endpoint you have configured (your own self-hosted server). No data is routed through any server controlled by the Extension's developers. The only parties involved in any network request are your browser and your Mealie server.

Data Storage

The Extension stores configuration data — such as your Mealie server URL and API token — locally using Chrome's built-in chrome.storage.sync API. This storage is:

  • Encrypted and managed entirely by Chrome/Google
  • Synced across your signed-in Chrome devices via your Google account (if Chrome Sync is enabled)
  • Never accessed by the Extension's developers
  • Automatically removed when you uninstall the Extension

We do not have access to your server URL, API token, or any other configuration data you enter.

Host Permissions & Site Access

The Extension requests access to a pre-configured list of popular recipe websites in order to detect recipe pages and activate the send button. Users may additionally grant access to custom sites via Chrome's optional host permissions. The Extension:

  • Only activates on recipe sites you have permitted
  • Does not read, store, or transmit page content — only the page URL
  • Does not inject any tracking or advertising scripts

Third-Party Services

The Extension does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. The only outbound network request made by the Extension is the API call to your own Mealie server, using credentials you provide.

Children's Privacy

The Extension does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under 13 years of age. Because we collect no data at all, there is no children's data to protect.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of the Extension after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
