GelatoLab is a product of Turnstone Tech LLC. The Turnstone Tech Privacy Policy covers how we collect, use, store, and share personal information across all our products — including the data security measures, retention windows, your rights, and the third-party services we share data with.
This page describes the parts that are specific to GelatoLab: the AI features, the additional services GelatoLab uses, and how we treat the recipes you create. Read it alongside the Turnstone Tech policy.
Recipes are the heart of GelatoLab and we treat them as your intellectual property. We do not sell your recipes, license them to third parties, use their content to train AI models, or analyze them for advertising or marketing purposes.
New recipes default to private. A private recipe is visible only to members of your organization. You can choose to share an individual recipe via a private share link, or — if your organization profile is public — publish a recipe to your public org page. These are explicit, opt-in actions; nothing about your recipes becomes visible to anyone outside your organization until you take one.
When you fork a public recipe from another GelatoLab user, your fork is created as a private recipe in your organization. The original author's organization name remains attached to the fork as attribution.
GelatoLab uses OpenAI's API to power several features: AI recipe generation, the cooking assistant inside Maker Mode, recipe import from URLs, and the semantic search index that makes recipes discoverable inside the app.
When you use any of these features — or on a periodic background job that keeps your search index up to date — the relevant recipe text (name, description, ingredients, steps, notes) is sent to OpenAI's API. We have configured our OpenAI account so that submitted data is not used to train OpenAI's models. Under OpenAI's API data policy, this data is retained by OpenAI for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring and then deleted.
GelatoLab itself does not train any AI models on your recipes.
In addition to the services listed in the Turnstone Tech privacy policy, GelatoLab uses:
| Service | Purpose | Data shared |
|---|---|---|
| OpenAI | Recipe generation, cooking assistant, recipe import, semantic search embeddings | Recipe text (name, description, ingredients, steps, notes) |
| Resend | Transactional email delivery (magic-link login, invitations, notifications) | Email address, message contents |
| Sentry | Application error monitoring | Crash reports and technical context. We do not intentionally include recipe content or email addresses in error reports. |
All of these services process data in the United States.
We want to be straightforward about this: your recipes are stored in our database, and a small number of authorized GelatoLab staff can technically access that database. We do so only when necessary to:
We do not browse, read, or analyze your recipes for marketing, advertising, model training, or any commercial purpose unrelated to operating the service.
If we change how GelatoLab handles your data — for example, by adding a new AI feature or a new third-party service that processes your recipes — we'll update this page and, where appropriate, notify you before the change takes effect.
