Privacy Policy
Last updated: 26 October 2026
How GoMely collects, uses and protects your personal data.
The short version. We collect what we need to plan your meals and run your account. We never sell your data and we don't use it for third-party advertising. You can delete your account and data from the app at any time.
1. Who we are
GoMely is a meal planning app for iPhone and Android. It is operated by Ranwip LLC, 30 N Gould St STE R, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA ("GoMely", "we", "us"). We are the controller of the personal data described in this policy. Contact us at hello@gomely.app.

Cookies on gomely.app
The website asks before it uses analytics cookies. Your choice is saved on your device, in a cookie and in local storage, and you can change it at any time in , which is also linked at the bottom of every page.
3. How we use your data
- To provide GoMely: build weekly plans, estimate their prices at your store, make grocery lists, send reminders, track streaks and badges. Prices are estimates and may differ at checkout.
- To generate plans and recipe swaps, we send your household's plan settings (diets, allergies, budget, store, preferences) to our AI provider. We do not send your email address or name.
- To manage your subscription and trials, and to record the invite or partner code you joined with.
- To keep the service safe and working: security, fraud prevention, crash reports.
- To understand how the app is used, with analytics that we use only to improve GoMely.
- To email you about your account and, only if you agreed, about news and offers. You can unsubscribe at any time.
4. Legal bases (EU and UK users)
- Contract: to provide the app and your subscription.
- Consent: for diet, allergy and other sensitive information, push notifications, marketing emails, and optional analytics where required. You can withdraw consent at any time.
- Legitimate interests: to keep GoMely secure, prevent abuse, moderate what people share and improve the app.
- Legal obligation: to keep records required by law, such as tax records.
5. Who we share it with
We never sell your personal data and we don't share it for third-party advertising. We share it only with service providers who process it on our behalf, under contract, for the purposes above:
- Hosting and database providers that store your account and plans.
- Authentication providers (Apple, Google) when you choose to sign in with them.
- RevenueCat, to manage subscription status. Apple or Google Play processes your payment.
- An AI model provider (Anthropic), to generate meal plans from your plan settings.
- PostHog (product analytics) and Sentry (crash reporting).
- Google Analytics, to count visits to gomely.app. It sets cookies only after you allow Analytics in the cookie banner. Before that, Google receives visits without cookies or identifiers.
- Our email provider, to send account and waitlist emails.
We may also disclose data if the law requires it or to protect the rights and safety of our users.
What other people on GoMely see
- Your profile: your name, @handle, profile photo, when you joined, your streak and the dinners you shared.
- The weekly Board: your name, city if you added one, and how many nights you cooked this week. You're on the public Board by default; turn off "Show me on the public Board" in Edit profile to leave it. Friends still see you on their friends Board.
- Dinners you share: the photo, caption, recipe and cost per serving, for other GoMely users and anyone you send the link to. You can delete a dinner at any time.
- Never shown: your email, household members, diets and allergies, budget, plans and grocery lists (except a list you choose to share).
- You can block anyone from their profile. Blocked people and you no longer see each other anywhere in GoMely.
Moderation
Names, @handles and captions are checked automatically against a list of offensive words. Anything flagged is hidden from others until our team reviews it; then it is published or removed. When you report a dinner or a person, our team sees the report and what it is about, and acts within 24 hours. The person you report is not told who reported them.
6. International transfers
Some providers process data outside your country, including in the United States. When data leaves the EU or UK, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.
7. How long we keep it
- Account and plan data: while your account is open.
- After you delete your account: kept for 30 days so you can restore it by signing in again, then permanently erased.
- Crash reports and analytics events: up to 12 months.
- Reports and text held for review: while your account is open, so decisions can be appealed.
- Purchase and tax records: as long as the law requires.
- Waitlist emails: until launch plus 12 months, or until you unsubscribe.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you can ask to access, correct, delete or export your data, to restrict or object to how we use it, and to withdraw consent. Most of this you can do in the app (Profile, then Settings). For anything else, email hello@gomely.app. We answer within 30 days. You can also complain to your data protection authority (in the EU, the data protection authority of your country).
9. Deleting your account
Go to Profile, Settings, Account, Delete account in the app. See Delete your account for the full steps and what happens next.
10. Children
GoMely is for adults who plan meals for themselves or their household. Children may be added as household members by a parent (a first name or nickname, diets and allergies only). Children cannot open their own account. If you believe a child has given us data, email us and we will delete it.
11. Security
We protect your data with encryption in transit, access controls and regular reviews. No service is 100% secure, so please keep your sign-in details safe.
12. Changes
We'll update this page when our practices change and tell you in the app or by email when the change is important.
