Privacy: private by default
- Without signing in, an assistant can only search public recipes and import recipe links. Nothing in your account is visible to it.
- When you connect, you sign in to Only Recipes yourself and approve read access, write access or both. The assistant never sees your password.
- Recipes you save from a chat are private to your kitchen.
- Disconnect any assistant at any time from Connected apps. Access ends immediately.
