Privacy Policy
Effective: October 5, 2026
Welcome to Sunday
Hello and welcome to Sunday, a private album of your family's Sunday dinners. Here are the highlights of our Privacy Policy:
- We don't collect your dinners. Your dinners, photos, notes, recipes, recordings and star ratings are stored in your own iCloud account. They are not sent to us, and we cannot read them.
- No accounts, ads, analytics or tracking. Sunday uses the iCloud account already on your device. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing following you around.
- What we do receive is small. If you email us, we receive your message. When the app or this website is loaded, our hosting provider handles a standard web request.
- Your Rights: You control your Sunday data directly on your device and in iCloud, and you can contact us about anything we hold.
To make sure you fully understand our practices, please continue reading the detailed sections below.

We are committed to respecting your privacy. Sunday was built so that we never need to hold your family's information in the first place.
This Privacy Policy describes our practices regarding information relating to you ("Personal Information") in connection with the Sunday app for iPhone and iPad and the website at www.sunday.cooking (collectively, the "Services"), operated by Kirk Ouimet LLC (referred to as "Sunday," "we," "us," or "our").
1. Information We Collect
1.1. What the App Stores, and Where
Sunday has no accounts and no servers of ours that hold your content. Everything you add to the app is stored with Apple's iCloud service, under the Apple Account already signed in on your device:
- Your dinners: The dinners you add, including photos, names, dates, notes, recipes, voice recordings and the names of people at your table, are stored in your iCloud account.
- Family sharing: When you invite your family, those dinners are shared with the people you invite through Apple's iCloud sharing. Everyone in the family can see and add to them.
- Your star ratings: Your ratings are stored only in your own iCloud account. They are never shared with anyone, including your family and the cook.
We do not have access to any of this. It is not sent to us, and we could not read it if we wanted to. For that reason we do not treat it as information we collect.
1.2. What Happens on Your Device
Naming a dinner from its photo, writing a caption, tagging food, turning a spoken recipe into text and sorting it into steps all happen on your iPhone or iPad using Apple's on-device features. Your photos and recordings are not sent to us or to anyone else for this.
The app asks for permission before using the camera, the microphone, speech recognition or notifications, and uses each only for the feature you chose.
1.3. Information You Provide to Us
- Communication Information: If you email us, we receive your email address, your name if you include it, and the contents of your message ("Communication Information").
That is the only Personal Information you can provide to us directly. The app has no sign-up, no profile and no forms that send information to us.
1.4. Information We Receive Automatically
- The settings file: When the app opens, it downloads a small settings file from our website (www.sunday.cooking/api/app.json) to check whether your version of the app is still supported. That request contains no account, no device identifier and nothing about you or your dinners.
- Log Data: Like any website, the provider that hosts our website and that settings file automatically receives the information a browser or device sends with a request, such as the Internet Protocol address, the date and time, and the browser or app version ("Log Data"). We do not use Log Data to identify anyone, and we do not combine it with anything else.
- Cookies: We do not use cookies for analytics or advertising. Our hosting provider may set a strictly necessary cookie to protect the website from abuse.
- Analytics: We do not use analytics products in the app or on the website.
2. How We Use Information
We use the limited information described above only for the following purposes:
- Customer Support: To read and answer the messages you send us.
- Service Provision: To deliver the website and the settings file that tells the app whether your version is still supported.
- Security and Compliance: To protect the website from abuse and to comply with legal obligations.
We do not use Personal Information for advertising, marketing, profiling or research, and we do not use your content to train any model. We have no access to your content.
3. Disclosure of Information
We do not sell Personal Information, and we do not share it for advertising. We may disclose the limited information we hold in the following circumstances:
3.1. Vendors and Service Providers
We use a small number of service providers to operate the Services, namely a hosting provider for the website and the settings file, and an email provider for the messages you send us. These parties process information only in the course of performing their services for us.
3.2. Business Transfers
If we are involved in a merger, sale, reorganization or transition of the Services to another provider, the limited information we hold may be transferred to a successor as part of that transaction. Your dinners, photos and ratings are not ours to transfer; they remain in your iCloud account.
3.3. Legal Requirements
We may disclose the information we hold if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, to protect and defend our rights or property, to detect or prevent fraud or other illegal activity, or to protect the safety of our users or the public. Because we do not hold your content, we cannot disclose it.
3.4. People You Share With
When you invite people to your family in Sunday, the dinners you share are visible to them through Apple's iCloud sharing. Be sure you trust the people you invite. Your star ratings are never shared.
4. Your Rights
Depending on location, individuals may have certain statutory rights in relation to their Personal Information, such as the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the processing of it, the right to data portability, the right to withdraw consent, the right to object, and the right to appeal a decision we make about a request.
Because your Sunday content lives in your own iCloud account, you exercise most of these rights directly, without asking us:
- Access and Correction: Everything Sunday stores is visible and editable in the app.
- Deletion: Delete a dinner in the app and it is removed from iCloud for everyone it was shared with. To remove everything, delete the app's data under Settings › your name › iCloud › Manage Account Storage › Sunday. If you started the family, choosing Stop Sharing in the invite sheet removes the shared dinners from everyone you invited.
- Permissions: You can withdraw the app's access to the camera, microphone, speech recognition or notifications at any time in Settings.
For Communication Information, such as an email you sent us, contact us and we will provide, correct or delete it. We may need to confirm that the request comes from the address that sent the message.
5. Additional U.S. State Disclosures
The only categories of Personal Information we collect are identifiers and communication contents that you send us by email, and network activity information in the form of Log Data. We disclose these only to the service providers described above, and as required by law.
To the extent provided for by local law and subject to applicable exceptions, individuals may have the following privacy rights in relation to their Personal Information:
- The right to know information about our processing of your Personal Information, including the specific pieces of Personal Information that we have collected from you;
- The right to request deletion of your Personal Information;
- The right to correct your Personal Information; and
- The right to be free from discrimination relating to the exercise of any of your privacy rights.
We do not sell Personal Information or share it for cross-contextual behavioral advertising, and we do not process sensitive Personal Information for inferring characteristics about consumers.
5.1. Exercising Your Rights
To the extent applicable under local law, you can exercise the privacy rights described in this section by contacting us.
5.2. Verification
Sunday has no accounts, so we verify a request by confirming that it comes from the email address associated with the information. If we cannot verify a request, we will not be able to honor it.
5.3. Authorized Agents
You may also submit a rights request through an authorized agent. If you do so, the agent must present signed written permission to act on your behalf, and we may ask you to confirm the request yourself.
5.4. Appeals
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to appeal a decision we make relating to requests to exercise your rights under applicable local law. To appeal, reply to our decision or contact us.
6. Children's Privacy
Sunday is a general-audience app made for families. It is not directed to children, and it does not collect Personal Information from anyone who uses it, including children. A child who uses Sunday does so through an Apple Account and iCloud, which are governed by Apple's terms and family settings.
We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us Personal Information, for example by email, please contact us so we can delete it.
7. Apple, iCloud and Links to Other Websites
iCloud, iCloud sharing and the on-device features Sunday relies on are provided by Apple and are governed by Apple's Privacy Policy. Apple, not Sunday, stores and secures the content you keep in iCloud.
Our Services may contain links to other websites not operated or controlled by us. Information you share with those websites is governed by their respective privacy policies. By providing these links we do not imply that we endorse or have reviewed these sites.
8. Security and Retention
The most important protection in Sunday is that we do not hold your content: it stays on your devices and in your iCloud account, protected by Apple's security and by the passcode and Apple Account on your device.
For the limited information we do hold, we use commercially reasonable measures to protect it from loss, misuse and unauthorized access. However, no Internet or email transmission is ever fully secure or error free. In particular, email sent to or from us may not be secure, so please take care in deciding what you send us.
We keep Communication Information only for as long as we need it to answer you and for legitimate purposes such as resolving disputes or complying with our legal obligations. Log Data is kept by our hosting provider for a limited time under its own retention practices. Your Sunday content is kept in your iCloud account for as long as you choose to keep it.
9. International Users
Kirk Ouimet LLC is based in the United States. If you email us or load our website, the limited information described in this Privacy Policy may be processed in the United States and in other countries where our service providers operate. Your Sunday content is stored by Apple in iCloud under your arrangement with Apple.
9.1. Legal Basis for Processing
Where a legal basis is required, we rely on the following:
- Our legitimate interests in answering the messages you send us, delivering the website and the settings file, and protecting the Services from abuse.
- Compliance with our legal obligations when we use information to comply with applicable law.
9.2. Data Transfers
Where required, we will use appropriate safeguards for transferring Personal Information outside of certain countries, and we will only transfer Personal Information pursuant to a legally valid transfer mechanism.
10. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated version on this page with a clear effective date. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically.
