Privacy policy

Last updated 12 June 2026 · Scranly is operated from the United Kingdom and registered with the ICO.

Scranly plans your dinners over WhatsApp. To do that it has to remember things about you — this page says exactly what, why, and how to make it forget.

What we store

• Your WhatsApp number — it's your account. No email or password is required to use Scranly.
• Your messages with Scranly — kept so it has context and can learn your taste over time.
• Food preferences, dislikes, allergies and dietary needs — the entire point of the product. Allergy and dietary information can be health-related data; by telling Scranly about it you consent to us storing it to plan your meals. Nothing else is done with it, ever.
• Meal plans, shopping lists and your reactions to meals — including behavioural signals like swapping or deferring a meal.
• Calendar busy/free times — only if you choose to share a calendar link, and only to avoid planning dinner on a night you're out.
• Your email address — only if you ask for the weekly plan email.

What we don't do

• No selling or sharing of your data for advertising. No ad tracking on this site.
• No reading of your other WhatsApp conversations — Scranly only sees messages sent to it.
• No use of your data to train AI models.

Who processes it

Scranly runs on a small number of service providers, each under their own data processing terms: Meta (WhatsApp message delivery), Anthropic (the AI that plans your meals — messages are processed in the United States under standard contractual safeguards and are not used for model training), Railway (hosting and the database, including managed backups), and Stripe (payments). If you opt into the weekly email we also use Resend (email delivery) and Cloudflare (email routing).

How long we keep it

For as long as you use Scranly — its memory of your taste is the product. Stop using it and your data just sits dormant; ask us to delete it and it's gone.

Your rights

Message Scranly "delete my data" and everything — profile, preferences, plans, message history — is permanently removed. You can also ask for a copy of what's stored ("what do you know about me?" works). UK GDPR also gives you rights to correction and complaint — the ICO is at ico.org.uk.
