This Privacy Policy describes how Bitesy LLC ("Bitesy," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects information in connection with the Bitesy mobile application and related services (the "Service").
1. Information we collect
Bitesy is a personalized dining companion that helps users discover nearby dishes and explore thoughtfully curated meals with Bitesy Curate™. To provide the Service, we may collect or process the following categories of information:
- Account information — limited information requested from your supported sign-in provider, such as your email address, first name, last name, and profile picture.
- Location (optional) — if you grant permission, we use your device location to identify restaurants and venues near you.
- Food preferences — preferences and filters that you save or input to personalize your results.
- Favorite venues — venues that you save so you can quickly access spots you have enjoyed or want to revisit.
- Subscription-related analytics — limited activity information necessary to support current or future subscription features, such as venue views, check-ins, and dish pairings.
2. How we use your information
We use the information described in this Privacy Policy for purposes reasonably necessary to operate, personalize, maintain, and improve the Service, including to filter and display dishes based on your food preferences.
- We store your food preferences and favorite venues so Bitesy can remember your settings and provide personalized recommendations, dashboards, notifications, and other preference-based features.
- We may associate your food preferences, favorite venues, and account information with your account or another user identifier to keep your experience consistent across sessions and devices.
- When you sign in on a device, we may sync your account information, food preferences, favorite venues, and related account settings to that device.
- We may also use preference information to improve menu matching, restaurant and dish recommendations, app functionality, and the overall quality of the Service.
3. Location data
Location access is optional and may be changed in your device settings. If you enable location access, Bitesy uses your location solely to identify nearby venues. Bitesy does not store your location information.
4. Analytics
Bitesy collects limited activity information for subscription-related functionality, including venue views, check-ins, and dish pairings. This information is used to support current or future subscription features.
5. Data sharing
Bitesy does not sell, rent, disclose, or otherwise share your personal information with third parties.
6. Data retention
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Service and for legitimate business purposes, including providing subscription-related features, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing agreements. Food preferences and favorite venues may be retained while your account remains active or as otherwise needed to provide personalized recommendations, dashboards, notifications, and related features. You may delete your account through the app at any time, after which your user data will be removed.
7. Security
Bitesy maintains a data-minimization approach and limits access to retained information to authorized purposes. We use technical and organizational controls appropriate to the nature of the information we store and review those practices as the Service evolves.
8. Age requirement
The Service is intended only for individuals who are 18 years of age or older. Bitesy does not knowingly permit individuals under 18 to create an account or use the Service. If you believe that an individual under 18 has provided information to Bitesy, please contact us so that we may review the matter and delete the information where appropriate.
