The terms you agree to by using Chefbook AI. For help with a problem, use the support page.
Last updated: October 3, 2026
Chefbook AI is developed and operated by Ince Ozgur, an individual developer based in Türkiye; “we”, “us” and “our” in these terms mean that developer. Questions about these terms can be sent through the support page or from Settings › Contact Support in the app.
By downloading and using Chefbook AI, you agree to use the app for personal, lawful purposes only. You may not use the app to generate content that is harmful, misleading, or illegal. All AI-generated recipes are provided for personal use and informational purposes.
You agree to use Chefbook AI responsibly and in accordance with these terms. You may not attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or exploit the app's AI models, APIs, or backend services; circumvent its security features, rate limits or access controls; access it with bots, scrapers or other automated systems; impersonate another person or entity; or use the app, or resell the content it generates, for commercial purposes without our written consent.
Recipes generated by Chefbook AI are based on publicly available culinary knowledge and AI interpretation. You are free to use generated recipes for personal cooking, sharing with friends and family, and non-commercial purposes. A photo you take or choose in the app stays yours: it is attached to a single AI request and we keep no copy of it.
Chefbook AI offers two auto-renewing subscriptions: Pro Monthly and Pro Lite. Both renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The price you pay is the one shown on the subscription screen in your own currency. Your account is charged for renewal within the 24 hours before the current period ends.
To cancel your subscription: Open Settings on your iPhone → Tap your name → Subscriptions → Select Chefbook AI → Tap Cancel Subscription. You can open the same page from the app with Manage subscription, in Settings or on the Pro screen.
No refunds are provided for the unused part of a subscription period. All payments go through Apple, so refund requests must be made to Apple, at reportaproblem.apple.com. After cancellation, you retain access until the end of the current billing period.
We may change the price of any of these. A change never applies to a purchase you have already made. For a one-time credit pack the new price simply appears on Apple's purchase sheet the next time you buy one. For an active subscription, Apple notifies you before an increase takes effect and, depending on its size, either continues the subscription unless you cancel or stops renewing it unless you agree; you can cancel at any time in your Apple Account settings.
Your use of Chefbook AI is also governed by Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (EULA). Where these Terms and Apple's EULA differ, Apple's EULA governs your licence to the app.
You must be at least 13 years old to use Chefbook AI, and if you are under 18 you need the permission of a parent or legal guardian. The App Store rates Chefbook AI 17+ because Chef Chat can give recipes for alcoholic drinks on request; that rating describes the content, not the minimum age to use the app.
Chefbook AI is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, including about the accuracy of AI-generated recipes, nutrition and allergen information. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from use of the app, and our total liability is limited to what you paid for Chefbook AI and its in-app purchases in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or your mandatory consumer rights.
We may suspend or end your access for conduct that breaches these terms or harms other users or the app. Recipes saved on your device stay there. Ending access, by either side, does not cancel an Apple subscription — turn off auto-renewal in your Apple ID settings. You can delete your account at any time from Settings › Delete Account.
These terms are governed by the laws of Türkiye. If you are a consumer in the EU, the UK or anywhere else with mandatory consumer protection law, the law of your country of residence applies where it gives you stronger rights, and you may bring a claim in the courts there. Any other dispute is resolved by the competent courts of Türkiye.
We may change these terms. A change reaches you in the app update that carries it, and the date at the top of this page shows when the terms last changed. If you disagree with a change, stop using the app; you can also delete your account from Settings › Delete Account.
On the home screen, tap the camera button and photograph any dish, or choose a photo from your library. Chefbook AI analyzes it and generates a complete recipe with ingredients, steps, chef tips and a shopping list. The first time you use an AI feature, the app asks whether you agree to your content being sent to Google's AI.
Every device gets 1 free recipe analysis. It is a trial rather than an allowance: it does not refresh, and there is no 30-day cycle. After that you can subscribe to Pro Lite (50 analyses/month) or Pro Monthly (100 analyses/month), or buy 10 extra analyses as a one-off. One credit pays for one photo analysis, one fridge scan or one Chef Chat reply. Prices are shown in your own currency in the app.
Tap any Pro or purchase button in the app and complete the purchase through Apple's payment sheet. No sign-in is required — Chefbook AI creates an anonymous identity for you on first launch.
On your iPhone open Settings → tap your name → Subscriptions → Chefbook AI → Cancel Subscription, or tap Manage subscription in the app (in Settings or on the Pro screen). You keep access until the end of your billing period.
Yes. Open the Pro screen (the PRO button) and tap Restore Purchases. An active subscription moves to the device where you restore it, together with any extra credits on that account, and the other device then shows that your subscription moved to another device. A 10-pack of extra analyses bought without a subscription cannot be restored — Apple does not report a finished one-time purchase — so it stays on the original account.
We do not ask for your name, email address or password, and there are no analytics, crash-reporting or advertising SDKs in the app. Nothing goes to Google's AI until you agree on a one-time screen in the app. After that, a request carries what it needs: the photos you take or choose and any note you add to them, your Chef Chat messages and any file you attach, a short summary of your saved recipes (top cuisines, dietary tags and difficulty — never the recipes themselves), your city and country if you have allowed location, and the app's language. You can withdraw consent at any time in Settings › AI Data Sharing. We do not store your photos ourselves, and what Google does with a request on its own servers is governed by Google's Privacy Policy. Your recipes themselves are stored only on your device. What we do hold on our servers, and what survives deleting your account, is set out in the Privacy Policy.
Deleting the app removes the data held on the device (recipes, shopping lists, chat history, settings). The exception is the iOS Keychain, which iOS keeps after the app is deleted: a random device token and a record of whether the free analysis was used — both only to stop it being claimed again on the same device — and a cached copy of your subscription status and credit balance. Your server profile is deleted from inside the app — Settings › Delete Account — and it happens immediately, with no request or waiting period. Two things survive on purpose: a one-way hash of your device identifier, so the free credit cannot be claimed again by deleting and reinstalling, and the purchase records for any receipt you redeemed, so one genuine receipt cannot be redeemed over and over. Neither holds a name, an email address or anything that describes you. Deleting the account also deletes any monthly analyses and extra credits left on it, and it does not cancel an Apple subscription — cancel that separately in iPhone Settings or with Manage subscription.
