Who we are

Food Bricks is a digital meal prep platform operated by Done By Default LLC. When this policy says "Food Bricks," "we," "us," or "our," it means Done By Default LLC and the myfoodbricks.com website.

What data we collect

Account information

When you create an account, we collect your email address. We use magic link authentication, so we never store a password.

Billing information

If you subscribe to a paid plan, our payment processor Stripe handles your card details. We never see or store your full card number. We do receive and store your subscription status, plan type, and billing dates.

Usage data

We collect basic information about how you use the site, including which pages you visit, features you use, and actions you take (like saving a meal plan). This helps us improve the product.

Newsletter sign-ups

If you subscribe to the Brick Drop newsletter, we store your email address and the date you confirmed your subscription. We use double opt-in, meaning you must confirm your email before receiving any newsletters.

Cookies and local storage

We use a session cookie to keep you logged in, analytics cookies from Google Analytics, and cookies set by Cloudflare for security and performance. See our Cookie Policy for details.

Contact messages

If you send us a message through our contact form or by email, we store the content of that message along with your email address in order to respond to you.
