Privacy Policy

Last updated: 30 September 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how David Levine Digital (“we”, “us”) handles information across every app we publish and this website (davidlevinedigital.com). One policy covers the whole family of apps, so you only ever need to check one place.

This policy currently covers:

Cook This Tonight Get This Tape a Note Expose Level It The Second Tier

The short version

None of our apps ask you to create an account.
Where an app saves data, it's kept on your own device, not on a server we run.
We don't use advertising or third‑party analytics SDKs in any current app.
Paid features, when offered, are sold through Apple In‑App Purchase. We never see your card number. Most Plus extras are auto‑renewable subscriptions. Exposure Plus is a one-off purchase. Level It, when a paid unlock is offered, is a one-off purchase, not a subscription.
Each app is independent software and, unless stated otherwise, is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any brand, platform or organisation it may refer to.

Data we process, generally

Depending on which app you use and how you use it, the following may apply:

On-device content — anything you type, save or import (recipes, list items, favourites and similar) is stored locally on your device using standard on-device storage. We don't upload it to a server we control, because our apps don't operate a cloud account of yours. Apple may include some app data in a full device backup according to its own system settings; that's outside our control. Where an app offers it as a paid extra, a Settings switch can keep a copy in your iCloud (the app’s own iCloud container, not a file we ask you to save). That storage is yours and Apple's, not ours. The app cannot turn on iCloud Drive for you — that stays in iPhone Settings.
Content you choose to share or paste — if an app has a share extension or a paste/add field, whatever you share or type is processed on your device (and, where noted below, sent to fetch a public preview) in order to build what you asked for.
Public web data — some apps may fetch publicly available information from the open web (for example a link's public preview, or a public sports data feed) to fill in content for you. That request goes to the site or service being read, not to a server we run.
App updates — we may use Expo's update service to deliver optional over‑the‑air updates to an app. Expo and Apple may process standard technical data needed to deliver those updates.
Emails and the contact form — if you email any address on this site, or send the general enquiry form, we process the name, email address and message in order to reply, and keep them only as long as needed to handle your enquiry.
Purchases — if you buy a subscription or a one-off In‑App Purchase, payment is taken by Apple. Apple processes the transaction against your Apple ID. We do not receive your card number, bank details or full billing address. The app may keep an on‑device record of whether a purchase is active, so it can unlock what you paid for and restore purchases on this or another of your devices. For subscriptions, Apple may also send us limited status notifications (for example that a renewal succeeded or was cancelled) so the app can stay in sync.
Technical data — Apple, Expo, and our hosting provider may process standard technical logs as part of delivering their services. We don't run our own advertising tracker on this site.

How we use information

To provide the specific feature you're using in the app (turning content into a cook sheet, building a list, showing fixtures and results, and so on).
To store and display what you've saved, on your device.
To respond to support or feedback emails.
To confirm, restore and manage a purchase you bought through Apple, and to unlock the paid features that go with it.
To operate, secure and improve our apps and this website, including delivering updates.

Lawful basis (UK GDPR)

Where UK data protection law applies, we rely on: performing the service you've asked the app to do; our legitimate interests in running reliable, simple utility apps; and, where required, compliance with the law. If a future feature needs your consent, we'll ask clearly in the app before switching it on.

Sharing

We don't sell your personal information. Data may pass through:

Apple — for App Store distribution and, if you subscribe, for taking payment and managing the subscription on your Apple ID.
Expo / our hosting provider — for app updates and hosting this website.
Email providers — if you contact us by email.

Retention

Content saved in an app stays on your device until you delete it, clear the app's data, or uninstall it. We don't run a cloud of our own, so we can't restore that content from our servers after uninstall. If an app let you keep a copy in your own iCloud, that copy stays with your Apple ID. Emails are kept only as long as needed to handle your enquiry and any related legal obligations.

Children

Our apps are general-purpose utilities and none are directed at children under 13. Please don't use any of our apps to submit personal information about a child.

Your rights

Depending on applicable law (including UK GDPR), you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict or object to certain processing, and to data portability where it applies. Because most content lives only on your device, many of these are handled simply by editing or deleting things in the app, or uninstalling it. For anything else, email hello@davidlevinedigital.com.

Complaints

If you're unhappy with how we've handled personal data, contact us first. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or by calling 0303 123 1113.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do, and material changes will be reflected here and, where appropriate, noted in the affected app.

App-by-app notes

Everything above applies to every app. The notes below cover anything specific to a particular app.

Cook This Tonight

Turns recipe content you provide — by paste, share sheet, or a link you choose to open — into a cook sheet stored on your device. When you share a link, the app may read that page's public preview metadata (title, description, image) — the same class of data messaging apps and Apple Notes use for link cards. It does not log into Instagram, use private APIs, or scrape content behind a login or paywall. A thin or paywalled preview can still be saved as a bookmark so you can open the original page. It is not affiliated with Instagram, Meta Platforms, Inc., or any recipe publisher. Cook This Plus can keep a copy of your recipes in iCloud that already belongs to you, from a Settings switch in the app. That is not a file we ask you to save, and not a server we run. Contact: hello@davidlevinedigital.com · Support: support@davidlevinedigital.com.

Get This

A standalone, on-device shopping list. You can add items with Siri or Shortcuts, type optional shelf prices and a trip budget, and — if you also use Cook This Tonight — receive a recipe's ingredients into their own section on your list. No account is required. Get This Plus can keep a copy of your list in iCloud that already belongs to you, from a Settings switch in the app, and unlocks sharing the list, usuals, and scanning a shelf price tag. When you choose Scan, the camera and on-device text recognition read a price you point at; that processing stays on your phone and is not uploaded to a Get This server. Typing a price works without the camera. Get This Plus is a separate subscription from Cook This Tonight Plus. Contact: hello@davidlevinedigital.com · Support: support@davidlevinedigital.com.

The Second Tier

Shows Championship football fixtures, results and the league table. Live scores and fixture data are drawn from a public sports data source, not from any account of yours. The app can send you match alerts for a club you choose to favourite, which is stored on your device. It is unofficial and independent, and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any football league or club. Contact: hello@davidlevinedigital.com.

Tape a Note

A Watch and iPhone recorder. You speak a short title, then the note. Audio and transcripts stay on this device. Speech recognition follows this iPhone’s language. Tape a Note Plus can keep a copy of notes in iCloud that already belongs to you, from a Settings switch, and can translate a transcript into English or another language using Apple Translation on the phone. Apple may ask to download a language pack. There is no Tape a Note server. It is not affiliated with Apple Voice Memos or Apple Notes. Contact: hello@davidlevinedigital.com · Support: support@davidlevinedigital.com.

Expose

Uses the iPhone camera to measure the light in front of it, and — with Exposure Plus — the colour of that light. The reading stays on this phone. The camera image is not saved and is not uploaded to an Expose server. There is no account. Exposure Plus is a one-off purchase for the padlocks, colour, gray card, calibration, hold, and zoom. Contact: hello@davidlevinedigital.com · Support: support@davidlevinedigital.com.

Level It

A spirit level for iPhone and iPad. The motion sensor is used only to show whether the device is level. That reading stays on the phone. Units, zero and calibration are stored on the device and are not sent anywhere. There is no account, no advertising and no tracking. If a paid unlock is offered, it is a one-off purchase through Apple, not a subscription. Contact: hello@davidlevinedigital.com · Support: support@davidlevinedigital.com.
