Privacy Policy

1. Information we collect

We collect information you give us and information generated by your use of the services:

• Contact details you submit through forms, such as name, email, phone, city, and state.
• Business details submitted by restaurants, such as restaurant name, locations, cuisine, and website.
• Consent records, including what you agreed to, the version of the consent text, and the time it was recorded.
• Marketing attribution parameters such as UTM source, medium, and campaign.
• Usage and device information generated when you use the website or app.

2. How we use information

We use information to:

• Operate the FoodieBits website, app, accounts, gameplay, and reward redemption.
• Respond to your inquiries and process merchant applications.
• Send you updates you have consented to receive by email or SMS.
• Prevent fraud, abuse, and misuse of rewards.
• Improve the product and understand how the services are used.

3. Marketing and SMS consent

Marketing email consent and SMS consent are separate, optional, and are never pre-selected. We record each consent separately along with the consent text version and timestamp.

You can withdraw marketing consent at any time using the unsubscribe link in an email. You can withdraw SMS consent at any time by replying STOP to a message. Message and data rates may apply.

4. Sharing

We do not sell personal information. We share information with service providers that operate the platform on our behalf, such as hosting, database, email, and analytics providers, under contractual confidentiality obligations.

Where you redeem a reward at a participating merchant, limited redemption information is shared with that merchant to validate the reward.

We may disclose information where required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and security of FoodieBits, our users, or the public.

5. Retention

We retain personal information for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, including maintaining consent records and meeting legal obligations, after which it is deleted or de-identified.

6. Security

We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

7. Your choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
• Request correction or deletion of your personal information.
• Withdraw consent for marketing email or SMS at any time.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.

8. Children

FoodieBits services are not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
