Privacy Policy

Who We Are

NomStash is a digital platform that helps users manage recipes, shopping lists, meal planning, and freezer inventory. We are based in the United Kingdom and operate in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and EU GDPR where applicable.

What Data We Collect

Marketing Website (nomstash.com)

We do not currently collect any personal data or use cookies on the marketing website.

Web App (app.nomstash.com)

We collect the following information when you use the NomStash app:

• Your name and email address for account creation and OTP login
• Functional cookies for authentication and session management
• Personal content such as saved recipes, shopping lists, stock levels, and meal plans

How We Use Your Data

We use your data to:

• Authenticate your account and maintain secure sessions
• Store your personal preferences and saved content
• Provide both free and premium features

Third-Party Services

We use a small number of trusted third-party services to run NomStash:

• AWS Cognito – used for authentication and secure login via OTP

These providers are GDPR-compliant and act as data processors on our behalf.

Email Communications

During registration or at other points in the app, you may be asked to consent to receive communications from us via email. There are two types of communications you may receive:

• Service communications – These include essential messages such as login codes, feature updates, or user-triggered reminders (e.g. defrost reminders). These messages are only sent when required to deliver the service or when you configure them in the app.
• Marketing communications – If you choose to opt in, we may send occasional product news, feature announcements, or relevant food-related content by email. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link provided in each email or via your account settings.

We do not share your contact details with third parties for marketing purposes.

Affiliate Links

We may occasionally suggest third-party products relevant to recipes (e.g. food storage containers). These may include affiliate links, but no personal data is shared without your consent.

Your Rights

Under data protection laws, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction or deletion of your data
• Object to certain types of processing
• Withdraw consent at any time

To exercise these rights, please email us at [email protected].

Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to safeguard your personal data. Access is limited to authorised personnel and services only.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy in future. Material changes will be communicated clearly, and continued use of the app constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
