Your kitchen data
stays yours
Your ingredients, recipes, plans and photos stay on your iPhone and, when iCloud is on, in your own private iCloud. Shiso runs no server of its own, and the developer can’t see any of them. Starting with version 2.0, the app also sends usage statistics to Google Analytics; the privacy policy has the details.
