In early 2026, data purportedly sourced from the recipe and meal planning service Provecho was alleged to have been obtained in a breach. The exposed data included 713k unique email address along with username and the creator account holders followed. Provecho has been notified and is aware of the claims surrounding the incident.

Policy Issues
- The company claims not to share data with advertisers or marketing partners, but explicitly states it shares data with service providers, which are third parties. This creates a tension with the broader interpretation of 'no third-party sharing at all'.
- The company claims not to sell personal data, which is consistent with sharing data with vendors for service delivery, as this is not considered selling.
- The company claims to collect minimal data, and while it uses this data to create inferences for personalized recommendations, this does not contradict the claim of minimal collection if the underlying data collected is limited to what is necessary for the service.
