Privacy policy
Last updated: 30 October 2026
Fermentea is operated by UnlikeOtherAI s.r.o., IČO 30001641, Pod Borováčkem 168, Myšlín, 251 64 Mnichovice, Czech Republic. We are responsible for the personal information described here. Contact hello@unlikeotherai.com about privacy, access, correction, deletion or a question about this notice.
What you can do without an account
You can read published recipes, articles and reference pages without signing in or allowing analytics. The service receives ordinary request information, such as your IP address, browser or app details, the page requested and the time, to deliver pages, prevent abuse and diagnose faults. Your browser may keep reading preferences and saved items on this device. An anonymous voting cookie identifies your browser for up to one year; the server stores its hash rather than the cookie value. A necessary sign-in session cookie lasts up to 30 days when you sign in.
Accounts, contributions and purchases
UnlikeOtherAI sign-in manages your identity, profile and authentication. Fermentea keeps a reference to your UnlikeOtherAI account and the information needed for Fermentea features, such as your default reading language, saved items, comments, ratings, photos, suggestions, alerts and language preferences. Public contributions can be seen by other readers after moderation. Please leave private contact details out of them. We use these details to provide the features you request and to protect the community from spam and abuse.
For supporter access, we link your UnlikeOtherAI account reference to the purchase identifier, provider, status and expiry. Apple, Google or the web checkout provider handles payment details; Fermentea does not receive your full card number. We use purchase status to grant access on the devices where you use the same UnlikeOtherAI account, to restore purchases and to meet accounting obligations.
On-demand translation
When a signed-in reader opens a page in another language, the required interface strings or changed page passages and language variety go to our Ledger service and its configured model provider. Ledger also receives your UnlikeOtherAI account reference for usage controls. We save the translated page by source version and language variety so it can be reused by other eligible readers. The complete translations are cached on your device and in the database; later updates transfer only changes. A cached translation is not a private copy linked to your account. Please do not put private information in public contributions or pages you ask us to translate.
Optional analytics, newsletter and notifications
On the website, Google Analytics runs only if you allow it. In the mobile apps, analytics is enabled by default and can be turned off in device settings. When on, it measures public pages and articles read, reading progress and active reading time, search length and result counts, selected filters, saved-item actions, source website names and contribution outcomes. We do not send search words, contribution text, photos, email, account identifiers or sign-in links to Analytics. Google may process device or browser information, approximate location and an analytics identifier. Advertising storage and personalisation are disabled. Google retains user and event data for 14 months; aggregated reports may last longer. Analytics cookies can last up to 180 days.
Your website analytics choice is stored on this browser for 180 days. Rejecting or withdrawing stops future website analytics and removes our analytics cookies. On iPhone or iPad, use Settings → Apps → Fermentea → Analytics. On Android, use Settings → Apps → Fermentea → Additional settings in the app → Analytics. Turning analytics off in a mobile app stops future collection and resets that device's analytics data. It cannot retract events Google already received.
If you enter an email address in the newsletter form, our Nessie mailing service sends a confirmation link. The address joins the Fermentea list only after you confirm; every newsletter has an unsubscribe link. If you enable phone notifications, Fermentea stores an encrypted device token and your alert choices. Apple or Google delivers the alerts. You can turn them off in your account or device settings.

Why we use information and how long we keep it
We process account, contribution, reading-preference and supporter data to provide the service you request; service logs and moderation records for our legitimate interest in security, reliability and abuse prevention; payment records when needed to meet legal obligations; and analytics, newsletter and optional notifications on the basis of your choice. We keep account-specific data while you use those features, subject to deletion requests and the time needed to resolve disputes or legal duties. Public contributions remain available until removed under our moderation or rights process. Shared translation caches remain while the relevant source version is maintained. Backups and security records follow operational and legal retention needs.
Fermentea's hosting is in Scaleway's Paris region. Providers involved in sign-in, payments, analytics, push delivery, mailing and translation may process information in other countries. Where required, we rely on applicable adequacy decisions or contractual safeguards; ask us for details of a particular transfer.
Your rights
Depending on where you live and the reason for processing, you may ask to access, correct, erase, restrict or receive your information, and object to processing based on legitimate interests. You can withdraw consent at any time without affecting earlier lawful processing. Contact hello@unlikeotherai.com; we may need to verify that a request concerns your account. You can also complain to the Czech Office for Personal Data Protection, or to the relevant authority where you live.
Delete your Fermentea account and data
Email hello@unlikeotherai.com with the subject “Delete my Fermentea account” from the address used for your UnlikeOtherAI sign-in. If you cannot use that address, tell us how to reach you and we will explain how to verify the request. You can ask us to remove particular Fermentea data without closing your account instead. We will confirm the request and its outcome by email.
After verification, we remove your Fermentea-specific preferences, saved items, drafts, alert settings and device tokens, unlink supporter access, and remove or de-identify your contributions where possible. Your UnlikeOtherAI identity is shared with other services and is managed by UnlikeOtherAI; ask us in the same email if you also want that identity deleted. A shared translation cache contains article text rather than a personal copy and can remain. We keep only records needed for legal accounting, security, disputes or a valid request to preserve evidence, and delete backup copies through their normal retention cycle. We will identify any retained records and their applicable retention period in our response. Deleting the app alone does not cancel a subscription; cancel it in the store or web billing account first.
We update this notice when the service changes and show the new date above. Related service rules are in the Terms and conditions.
