Summary: Wasfa extracts recipes from cooking videos. We collect only what's needed to provide the service — your account info and recipe data. We don't track you, sell your data, or use analytics. Videos are processed temporarily and deleted immediately after.
Wasfa ("we", "us", "our") is a mobile application that extracts structured recipes from cooking video URLs. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use the Wasfa app and related services.
