3. User Content and Ownership
Users retain ownership of their original recipes, photographs, documents, menus, and other original content submitted to Culinary Caliber.
SbgDesigns LLC does not claim ownership of original user-created content solely because it is uploaded to or stored within the application.

We do not sell users' original recipes or other user-created culinary content to third parties.

5. Cookies and Website Analytics
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, security, and performance measurement.

Where available, visitors can manage applicable cookie preferences through the website's privacy controls or their browser settings.
6. Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect information handled by Culinary Caliber.
These measures are intended to reduce risks of unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, or loss.
However, no internet-based service, electronic storage system, or software application can guarantee absolute security.
7. Data Retention and Account Deletion
Account information and user-created content may be retained while an account is active and for periods reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain security, resolve disputes, or meet applicable legal obligations.

Verified requests will be reviewed and processed in accordance with applicable legal requirements and the service's data-deletion procedures. Certain information may need to be retained for legitimate legal or security reasons. Previously shared content independently retained by other recipients may not be removable from their copies.
For other privacy questions, corrections, or data requests, users may contact the same support address.
8. Beta Testing
Culinary Caliber may be made available to selected users before its public commercial release.
During beta testing, features may change, and technical issues may occur.
Beta testers are encouraged not to rely on the pre-release application as the sole copy of critical recipes, business documents, event information, or operational records.
Additional conditions for beta participation are described in the separate Culinary Caliber Beta Tester Terms.
9. Children's Privacy
Culinary Caliber is not directed toward children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware of such information, we will take appropriate action consistent with applicable law.
