CravePost ("we", "our", "us") operates the CravePost platform, including the website at cravepost.com and the CravePost mobile application. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our services.

By using CravePost, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To recognize returning customers for a better experience
  • To communicate with you about your account or our services
  • To improve and optimize our platform
  • To detect and prevent fraud or abuse

4. How We Share Your Information

🔒 Customer Privacy Guarantee

Customer phone numbers are NEVER shared with restaurant owners. Restaurant owners can only see visitor names, visit counts, and last visit dates — never phone numbers or other personal contact information.

  • With restaurant owners: Customer name and visit frequency only
  • With third-party services: We use trusted providers for hosting (Vercel), database (Supabase), and mobile delivery (Expo). These providers process data on our behalf and are bound by their own privacy policies
  • We do NOT sell your data to advertisers, data brokers, or any third parties
  • Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect rights, safety, or property

5. Data Storage & Security

  • Your data is stored securely on cloud servers managed by Supabase
  • We use industry-standard encryption for data in transit (SSL/TLS)
  • Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel only
  • Row-level security policies ensure users can only access their own data

6. Cookies & Local Storage

CravePost does not use tracking cookies. We use browser localStorage to:

  • Store your customer ID for recognizing return visits
  • Remember your display preferences (light/dark mode, dietary filters)

This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to third-party trackers.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Correction: Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Deletion: Request deletion of your account and associated data
  • Opt-out: Decline to provide optional information (like phone number)
  • Data portability: Request your data in a machine-readable format

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@cravepost.com. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Children's Privacy

CravePost is not intended for use by children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of CravePost after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
