The app
The OpenSourdough app at opensourdough.com/app has no accounts and no server of its own. Everything you enter — bakes, timings, starter feeds, ratings and notes — is saved in your browser's local storage on your device and is never sent to us. We cannot see it, back it up or recover it.
- Clearing your browser's data for this site deletes it permanently.
- Data does not sync between devices or browsers.
- If you allow notifications, they are created by the app on your device while it is open. No push service is involved.
- The app keeps a copy of its own files on your device so it can work offline.
- The app shows no advertising and loads no third-party scripts.
The website
The pages on opensourdough.com outside the app do not use analytics or tracking scripts of our own. Fonts and images are served from this site, not from third-party services.
The site is hosted by Netlify, which, like any web host, processes technical information such as IP addresses to deliver pages and protect against abuse. See Netlify's privacy policy.
Advertising
This website (not the app) shows ads served by Google AdSense. To do that:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies at aboutads.info.
- If you are in the European Economic Area, the UK or Switzerland, you are asked for consent before personalised ads are shown, and can change your choice at any time from the consent message's settings link.

Children
The site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from them — or from anyone else.
