Terms of Use

Last updated November 14, 2026

Recipe Box is a private app for families to keep and share their recipes. It's made by Sandy Hotdog ("we", "us"). By creating an account or using Recipe Box, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy.

Who can use it

You must be at least 13 years old. If you're under the age of majority where you live, a parent or guardian must agree to these terms for you.

Your account

Keep your password to yourself. You're responsible for what happens under your account. Tell us at support@sandyhotdog.com if you think someone else is using it.

Your recipes belong to you

You keep ownership of the recipes, photos and comments you add. You give us permission to store them, copy them between our servers, and show them to the members of the recipe boxes you add them to. We need that permission to run the app, and we use it only for that. When you leave a box or delete your account, the recipes you added stay with your family, as described on our account deletion page.

Only add things you have the right to share. A family recipe, or one you wrote out yourself, is fine. Don't copy someone else's photos or long passages of their writing without permission.

Be kind

There's no place in Recipe Box for objectionable content or abusive people. Don't post anything that is:

• hateful, harassing, threatening or bullying,
• sexually explicit or violent,
• illegal, or encouraging something illegal or dangerous,
• spam, or copied from someone else without permission.

You can report any recipe or comment, and block anyone, from inside the app. We review reports within 24 hours. We remove content that breaks these rules, and we may suspend or close the accounts of people who post it.

The recipe reader

Recipe Box can read a recipe from a web link or a photo. It uses AI and can make mistakes, such as a wrong amount, a missed ingredient or a misread step. Check what it reads against the original before you cook.

Cooking and food safety

Recipes in Recipe Box come from your family and other users, not from us. We don't check them. Use your own judgment about cooking times, temperatures, food safety and allergies. We're not responsible for what happens when you cook a recipe.

Ending your account

You can delete your account at any time from the Account screen. See how deleting works. We may suspend or close your account if you break these terms, or if we stop offering Recipe Box. If we stop offering it, we'll try to give you notice so you can save your recipes.

No guarantees

We work hard to keep Recipe Box running and your recipes safe, but we provide it "as is", without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows. We don't promise it will always be available or free of errors. To the extent the law allows, we're not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for lost data. Our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us for Recipe Box in the 12 months before the claim. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.

Apple and Google

These terms are between you and us, not Apple or Google. They aren't responsible for Recipe Box or its support. If you got the app from the App Store, Apple and its subsidiaries can enforce these terms as third-party beneficiaries.

Changes

If we change these terms, we'll update the date at the top. If a change is significant, we'll tell you in the app or by email first. If you keep using Recipe Box after a change, you agree to the new terms.
