Because we will be storing user information that will be private, we will need to follow legal guidelines of PIPEDA specifically when dealing with passwords. We will be hashing the passwords to keep them secure.
As well as this, our data is coming from scraping the data from allrecipes.com. This will be a legal issue, specifically copyright, if we decide to market this application on the play store.
Ownership: Each member in this group will have a copy of the application and we will all own the application as a team.
