Terms of use

1. Who we are and what Sunny Family does

Sunny Family is an app for planning family meals: weekly menus, recipes, shopping list, meal history and members’ preferences. The service is provided by the controller named at the end of this document (contact: info@sunnyfamily.app).

By using the app you accept these terms and confirm that you have read the privacy notice.

2. Account

To use Sunny Family you create an account with name, email and password. You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for what happens with your account.

You must be at least 14 years old (or the age required by the law of your country) to create an account. Data about minor children may only be entered by a parent or legal guardian.

3. Households, roles and invitations

Each household has at least one owner, who invites other people and chooses their role (owner, editor, viewer) and permissions. Whoever accepts an invitation sees and, if allowed, edits the household’s data.

Only invite people you trust: invitation codes and links let anyone holding them join the household until they expire or are revoked.

4. Data you enter

You are responsible for the data you enter, including data about other family members (names, ages, allergies, preferences). Enter it only if you are entitled to and, for health data such as allergies, with the explicit consent of the person concerned or of whoever is responsible for them.

You can export, restore or delete the household’s data from the Data section.

5. Plans and subscriptions

Sunny Family offers a free plan (Free) and a paid plan (Premium). On Free you can share the household with other people only as viewers (read-only); with Premium more people can have roles and area permissions and you can manage more households. The content, monthly limits and prices of each plan are those shown in the app at the time of purchase; prices are in euro and include VAT. A household’s plan is that of its plan holder (the first owner): other members see the plan but cannot buy it for the household.

Subscriptions are bought through Apple’s App Store or Google Play and renew automatically at the end of each period (monthly or yearly) at the same price unless cancelled. If the plan includes a free trial, you are charged only when the trial ends unless you cancel before; the trial can be used once.

You can cancel at any time from the store’s subscription settings: cancellation takes effect at the end of the period already paid, and until then the plan stays active. Payments, renewals and refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their terms.

If you are a consumer in the European Union you have the right to withdraw within 14 days of purchase. As this is digital content and a digital service supplied immediately, if you expressly ask to start using it during the withdrawal period and acknowledge that you thereby lose the right of withdrawal, that right is lost (or reduced to the part not yet supplied) under applicable law.

You can change plan at any time. After moving to a lower plan, accounts, roles or households beyond the new plan’s limits become read-only (for example, on Free an editor can only view): the data stays viewable and is not deleted, and becomes editable again if you move back to a plan that includes them.

In this test version payments are simulated: activating a plan involves no charge.

6. Artificial intelligence

Personal menus, AI regenerations, the analysis of imported documents and the answers to free questions to Sunny are processed by an artificial intelligence service (OpenAI) called by our server; OpenAI acts as a data processor. The shared menu of the Free plan and Sunny’s answers about the menu, shopping and pantry are composed by our server without AI.

We send the AI only the family profile data that is needed (preferences, exclusions, allergies, conditions and meal participants), the imported document or, for a free question to Sunny, the text of the question with a summary of the menu, shopping and pantry, without the account name, email or other identifying data. Requests are sent with response storage turned off (store: false); OpenAI may keep them for up to 30 days only for abuse monitoring. Do not write in your questions to Sunny data you do not want to share.

The plans’ usage limits (weeks, regenerations, imports, free questions to Sunny and monthly AI usage) exist to keep the service’s costs under control and to prevent abuse; once they are used up, menus come from the shared menu and Sunny answers only about the menu, shopping and pantry.

Proposals and Sunny’s answers may contain errors or inaccuracies. Sunny Family is not a medical or nutrition service and menus and answers are not medical advice. Always check ingredients, labels and allergens, especially with allergies or intolerances: the final responsibility for food choices remains yours.

7. Community

The league and shared recipes are optional and reserved to adults: by joining the league or publishing a recipe you declare you are at least 18.

Publish only recipes you are free to share, without personal data, contacts, links, offensive content or dangerous instructions. By publishing a recipe you allow Sunny Family, free of charge and until you withdraw it, to show it to other families and let them add it to their menus; families that already added it to a menu may keep it.

Community recipes are written by other families: always check ingredients and allergens. We may hide or remove reported recipes or recipes that breach these terms and suspend the participation of those who breach them.

8. Acceptable use

Do not use the app for unlawful purposes, to access other people’s accounts or to overload the service. We may suspend accounts that breach these terms.

9. Availability and liability

The service is provided as is and may be interrupted for maintenance or technical reasons. To the extent permitted by law we are not liable for indirect damages arising from the use of the app; mandatory consumer rights are unaffected.

10. Changes and termination

If we change these terms we update the version shown at the top and ask you to accept them again at your next sign-in. You may stop using the app at any time and delete your account directly in the app, under Family › Account › Delete account; if you cannot sign in, write to info@sunnyfamily.app.

11. Governing law and contacts

Sunny Family is provided by Sebastiano Sannino, operator of the service and data controller. These terms are governed by Italian law. For questions or complaints write to info@sunnyfamily.app.
