Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide

• Restaurant lists and favorites — restaurants you save, rate, or mark as visited.
• Location data — with your permission, we use your location to show nearby restaurants. You can deny or revoke this permission at any time in your device settings.

Information collected automatically

• Usage data — how you interact with the app (e.g. how often you shake, which features you use), collected in aggregate and anonymized form.
• Crash reports — anonymized diagnostic data to help us fix bugs and improve stability.
• Device information — operating system version and device model, used for compatibility and debugging.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain the What to Eat app.
• Personalize your restaurant recommendations.
• Improve, develop, and enhance our features and services.
• Monitor and analyze usage patterns to improve user experience.
• Detect, prevent, and fix technical issues.
• Respond to your support requests and inquiries.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

3. Data Storage and Security

Your restaurant lists and preferences are stored locally on your device. When you choose to back up or sync data, it is transmitted securely over HTTPS. We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

4. Third-Party Services

What to Eat may use third-party services that collect information used to identify you. These third-party services have their own privacy policies governing how they use such information. We use:

• Google Maps / Places API — to display restaurant locations and details. Governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
• Apple App Store / Google Play — for app distribution and in-app purchases. Governed by the respective platform privacy policies.
• Google AdMob — to display ads within the app. Third-party advertising providers (such as Google AdMob) may use device information (such as advertising identifiers) to deliver personalized ad experiences. We do not use this data to serve you ads directly. Governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

5. Children's Privacy

What to Eat is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete that information.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
• Request deletion of your personal information.
• Withdraw consent for data processing at any time.
• Opt out of analytics and crash reporting in the app settings.

To exercise these rights, please contact us at privacy@whattoeat.fun.

7. Data Retention

We retain your data only as long as necessary to provide our services. If you delete the app, locally stored data is removed from your device. Anonymized usage data may be retained in aggregate form for analytical purposes.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
