2. Information We Collect
We collect the following information to provide and improve our services:

We also collect your comments, ratings, reviews, likes, and saved items.
- Media and camera. The App requests permission to access your camera and photo/media library so you can take or select photos and videos for your posts and recipes. We only access media you choose to upload.
