This privacy and cookie policy explains how I, an individual developer Mkrtumyan Ksenia, collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use my website and Telegram bot to access meal plans (collectively, the “Services”).

By using the Services, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

  • Consent to receive messages via the Telegram bot (given automatically when starting a conversation)
  • Weight information (optional, provided by you if you choose to share)

I retain your personal data until you request deletion or you delete your account / stop using the Services. After deletion, your data will no longer be stored.

5. Data Sharing And Transfers

I do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. I use Google Analytics to analyze traffic and SendPulse to send emails; these providers may process data on my behalf. I do not otherwise share your data with third parties.

6. International Data Transfers

As I am based in the EU (Netherlands), your data is processed in accordance with GDPR. If you access the Services from outside the EU, your data may be transferred internationally to provide the Services.

The Services are not directed to children under 16 (or under 13 where applicable by law). I do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided me data, please contact me, and I will delete it.
