Cheflog: Privacy policy
Cheflog is an app for iPhone, iPad and Android phones and tablets made by Everlong s.r.o. This policy explains what happens to your information when you use it. In this policy "we" means Everlong s.r.o.
Who is responsible
Everlong s.r.o., Zámocká 8, 811 01 Bratislava, Slovakia, Company ID (IČO) 55 271 987. You can reach us at support@everlongapps.com.
Your records
The records you keep in Cheflog (your business details, units, staff initials and names, signed entries, photos, dishes and settings) are saved on your device. We never receive them. Deleting the app deletes the copy on that device.
On iPhone and iPad: If you are signed in to iCloud, Cheflog also keeps them in your private iCloud database and syncs them to your other iPhones and iPads, under Apple's terms. Only your Apple Account can open that database; we have no access to it. Cheflog also writes a backup file every day and a PDF of each month into its folder in the Files app. If you back up your device with iCloud Backup or to a computer, these are part of that backup.
On Android: Cheflog writes a backup file every day and a PDF of each month into a folder you choose, for example on an SD card or in a cloud drive's folder; that folder's provider then holds them under its own terms. If Android backup is on for your Google account, Android may include the app's database in your device backup, which Google keeps for you under your Google account settings.
Staff details
You decide what to enter about your staff: initials are enough and a name is optional. An optional 4-digit PIN only stops colleagues from signing for each other; it is not a password and goes into backups as a code anyone with the file could work out. Cheflog asks for no health information. Where a country pack has a fitness-to-work check, Cheflog records only that the check was done. As the business keeping these records, you are responsible for them under data protection law.
Camera and photos
The camera is used only when you take a photo for an entry, such as a delivery label or evidence of a corrective action. The photo is kept with the entry on your device (and in your iCloud on iPhone and iPad) and goes into your backups. We never receive it.
On iPhone and iPad: To suggest a use-by date from a label photo, Cheflog uses Apple's text recognition, which runs on the device.
Reminders
Reminders for due checks are local notifications that Cheflog schedules on your device. Nothing is sent to us or to anyone else.
Exports
PDF and CSV exports and backup files go wherever you send or save them, for example by email or to a printer. That service handles them under its own terms.
Free trial
On iPhone and iPad: The 30-day trial is a free in-app item in the App Store. Apple records it like a purchase; nothing is charged and it does not renew.
On Android: The 30-day trial starts on your device; its start date is kept in the app's data.
Permissions
On iPhone and iPad: Camera: to photograph labels and evidence. Notifications: to remind you of due checks. iCloud: to sync your records through your own iCloud account.
On Android: Camera: to photograph labels and evidence. Notifications: to remind you of due checks. Run at start-up, wake lock and foreground service: added by Android's WorkManager library, so reminders and the daily backup still happen after a restart. Google Play billing: to sell Pro through Google Play. Internet and network state: added by Google Play's billing library, which uses them to send Google technical logs about its own operation, such as whether a billing request worked. The purchase itself goes through the Google Play app on your device.
Purchases
Cheflog Pro is a one-time in-app purchase. We never see your card or other payment details.
On iPhone and iPad: Apple sells Pro and processes the payment. We don't receive your name or your Apple Account. The app checks your purchase with Apple on the device. Apple gives us sales reports that don't identify you.
On Android: Pro is sold through Google Play. Google processes the payment. Google Play gives us the order information we need for accounting, tax and refunds, such as the order number, date, country and price. The app asks Google Play on your phone whether you own Pro. How Google handles your purchase is described in the Google Privacy Policy.
If you email us
If you write to us, we use your email address and message only to answer you. We delete them once your question is settled, at the latest after two years. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in answering you (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Children
Cheflog is not directed at children. It collects no personal data from anyone.
Your rights
Because the app doesn't collect personal data, there is usually nothing about you for us to show, correct or delete. For Google Play order information and for emails you send us, you have the rights the GDPR gives you: access, correction, erasure, restriction, objection and portability. We use order information to fulfil the purchase and to meet our accounting and tax duties (Article 6(1)(b) and (c) GDPR) and keep it as long as Slovak accounting law requires (10 years). Write to support@everlongapps.com.
You can complain to the Slovak data protection authority, Úrad na ochranu osobných údajov Slovenskej republiky (dataprotection.gov.sk), or to the authority where you live.
Changes
If this policy changes, we update this page and the date at the top.
