Overview

Privacy policy, explained clearly.

This English version explains the categories of data, purposes, recipients, storage and user rights relevant to the Smartteller website and services.

Smartteller is designed around connected decisions: what you plan to eat affects what you need to buy, what is already in your pantry affects the shopping list, and the grocery budget influences which options are realistic. The goal is not rigid optimisation but a repeatable planning process that still works in normal everyday life.

Smartteller principle

Plan with your own household data, review the result, keep uncertainty visible and change anything that does not fit your real situation.

How to use it

Turn the topic into a practical workflow.

A useful plan should reduce decisions at the moment when time and attention are already limited.

01

Start with reality

Use your actual household size, schedule, pantry situation, cooking equipment and spending limits instead of an idealised week.

02

Connect the steps

Move from meal choices to quantities, shopping and leftovers in one sequence so you avoid duplicate work and unnecessary purchases.

03

Review before acting

Check generated suggestions, prices, allergens, quantities and food safety before you cook or buy.

Privacy

Privacy policy — English information

This English version explains how personal data is handled when you use the Smartteller website and related services. Where legally relevant, the German privacy policy remains the authoritative text.

1. Controller

The controller named in the German privacy policy is responsible for processing personal data on this website. Privacy enquiries can be sent to datenschutz@smartteller.de.

Where account-based functions are used, data necessary for authentication, profiles, meal planning, saved content, synchronisation and security may be processed according to the relevant service configuration.

5. AI-assisted functions

Inputs required for AI-assisted functions may be transmitted to technical service providers where this is necessary to generate the requested result. Users should avoid entering unnecessary sensitive personal information into free-text fields.

10. Updates

The privacy information may be updated when services, providers or legal requirements change. The current German version contains the detailed legal wording and provider-specific information.

Practical checklist

Keep the result useful in everyday life.

  • Use concrete inputs instead of vague assumptions.
  • Prefer a plan you can follow over a theoretically perfect plan.
  • Keep one flexible meal or backup option available.
  • Check pantry items before the main shop.
  • Review actual spending and adapt the next plan.
