Privacy Policy

Effective date: 9 October 2026

This policy explains what information the website patnis.uz and the Patnis Android app (package uz.patnis.app) process, why, and what choices you have. “We” and “Patnis” mean the Patnis.uz team, the owner of the website and the app. If you have questions, write to yulduz@patnis.uz.

1. Summary

  • You can read all recipes without registering and without giving us any personal data.
  • We show no ads, use no analytics or tracking tools, and do not sell or rent your data to anyone.
  • We only receive personal data when you register an account or write to us through the contact form.
  • The app shows the content of patnis.uz and has no tracking or advertising code of its own.

2. Data you give us

2.1. Registration and personal account (optional)

To create an account we ask for your name, email address and a password. WordPress stores the password only as a secure hash, so we cannot see it. We also store the interface language you registered in and your list of favorite recipes, so you can see them on any device. We use this data only to run your account: signing in, saving favorites, and sending password-reset emails you request.

2.2. Contact form

When you send a message through the contact form, we receive your name, email address, the message, the site language and the page you sent it from. It is delivered by email to yulduz@patnis.uz and is used only to reply to you. The form does not save messages in the site’s database. Emails are kept in our mailbox only for as long as we need them for the conversation.

2.3. Favorites without an account

If you are not signed in, the recipes you save are stored only on your device, in the browser’s or the app’s local storage (patnis-favs). They are not sent to us.

3. Data collected automatically

  • Server logs. Like any website, our web server records technical request data: IP address, date and time, the requested page, and the browser or app identifier (the app adds “PatnisApp” and its version). We use it only to keep the site running and secure, and keep it for a limited period.
  • Spam and brute-force protection. For the sign-in, registration, password-reset and contact forms, we temporarily store a hashed (non-readable) version of your IP address to limit repeated attempts. It is deleted automatically after 15 minutes.

4. Cookies and local storage

We use only the cookies the site needs to work. There are no advertising or analytics cookies.

  • pll_language remembers the language you chose (uz/ru/en) for 1 year.
  • wordpress_logged_in_…, wordpress_sec_… and wordpress_test_cookie keep you signed in. They last until you close the browser, or up to 14 days if you tick “Remember me”. They are only set if you sign in.
  • Local storage patnis-favs holds favorite recipes on your device (see 2.3).

You can delete cookies and local storage in your browser settings, or by clearing the app’s data in Android settings. If you do, you will be signed out and favorites you saved without an account will be lost.

5. Third-party services

  • Google Fonts. The site’s fonts are loaded from Google’s servers (fonts.googleapis.com, fonts.gstatic.com), so your browser sends your IP address to Google when a page loads. See the Google Privacy Policy.
  • Hosting and email. The site runs on a hosting provider’s servers, and emails are delivered through an email service. These providers process data only to provide the service to us.
  • Social networks. Links to Telegram, Instagram, YouTube and other sites open in those apps or in your browser. Their own privacy policies apply there.

We share personal data with nobody else, unless the law requires us to.

6. The Patnis Android app

  • The app opens the patnis.uz website inside the app. Everything described above applies to the site pages you view in it. Third-party cookies are turned off in the app.
  • No ads, no analytics, no tracking SDKs. The app does not use Firebase or any advertising identifier. It does not access your contacts, photos, location, camera or microphone.
  • Notifications about new recipes. About every 15 minutes (often less often when the phone is saving battery), the app requests the public list of the latest recipes and articles from patnis.uz (/wp-json/wp/v2/…). These requests carry no account data or personal identifiers, only the usual technical data of any web request (IP address, app identifier). To avoid repeat notifications, the app stores on your phone the date and IDs of the items you were already notified about, plus the language you last browsed in. This information never leaves your phone.
  • You can turn notifications off at any time: long-press the app icon and choose “Bildirishnomalar”, use the action on a notification, or go to Android settings.
  • Permissions: internet and network state (to load the site and check for a connection), notifications (Android 13+, only if you allow it), and the background-work permissions WorkManager needs (wake lock, start after reboot) to keep checking for new recipes.
  • Uninstalling the app deletes all of its data from your phone.

7. Your rights and account deletion

You can view and edit your name and email in My account at any time.

You can delete your account yourself. Log in on the website or in the app, open My account and tap “Delete account” at the bottom of the page. Then enter your current password, tick the confirmation box and confirm. The account is deleted immediately together with all related data: name, email, password (hash), language and favorites list. You will receive a confirmation email. Favorites saved without an account stay only on your device and are removed when you clear the browser or app data.

If you can’t log in, or you want a copy of your data, email yulduz@patnis.uz from the address you registered with, with the subject “Delete account”. We will delete the account within 30 days and confirm by email. Server logs are deleted on their regular schedule.

8. Children

Patnis is a general-audience recipe site and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has registered, contact us and we will delete the account.

9. Security

The site and the app use encrypted HTTPS connections only. Passwords are stored as hashes, and access to the site’s administration is restricted.

10. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will publish the new version on this page with a new effective date.
