Privacy Policy for Telabite

Last Updated: July 16, 2025

David Meireles ("we," "us," or "our") operates Telabite (the "App"), a mobile application that indexes restaurants and their food menus, providing users with information about nearby dining options based on their location. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use our App. By using the App, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information to provide and improve our services:

a. Information You Provide

• User Account Information: If you create an account, we may collect your name, email address, or other information you voluntarily provide during registration.
• User Preferences: You may provide preferences, such as favorite restaurants or dietary restrictions, to personalize your experience.

b. Automatically Collected Information

• Location Data: The App requires access to your device's location (coarse or precise) to identify and list nearby restaurants. We collect this data only when you grant permission and while the App is in use. You can disable location access at any time through your device settings, but this may limit the App's functionality.
• Device Information: We collect information about your device, such as the device type, operating system, unique device identifiers, and IP address, to optimize the App's performance.
• Usage Data: We collect information about how you interact with the App, such as search queries, viewed restaurants, and navigation patterns, to improve our services.

c. Third-Party Data

• Restaurant and Menu Data: We aggregate publicly available or licensed data about restaurants and their menus from third-party sources, such as restaurant websites or data providers, to populate our index.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

• To Provide Services: To display nearby restaurants and their menus based on your location and preferences.
• To Improve the App: To analyze usage patterns and enhance the App’s functionality and user experience.
• To Personalize Content: To tailor restaurant recommendations and search results to your preferences.
• To Communicate: To send you updates, notifications, or respond to inquiries if you contact us.
• To Ensure Security: To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or security issues.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following cases:

• With Service Providers: We may share your information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as hosting, analytics, or customer support, under strict confidentiality agreements.
• With Third-Party Data Providers: We may share anonymized or aggregated data with partners to improve restaurant and menu data accuracy.
• For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena, court order, or other legal process.
• Business Transfers: If we merge, acquire, or sell part of our business, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, but we will notify you of any such change.

4. Your Choices and Rights

• Location Data: You can control location access via your device settings. Disabling location services may prevent the App from showing nearby restaurants.
• Account Information: If you have an account, you can update or delete your information through the App’s settings.
• Opt-Out: You can opt out of receiving promotional communications by following the unsubscribe instructions in those messages.
• Data Access and Deletion: Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal data. Contact us at [Your Contact Email] to exercise these rights.

5. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy or as required by law. For example:

• Location data is used in real-time and not stored beyond your session unless needed for analytics in an anonymized form.
• Account information is retained until you delete your account or request deletion.

7. Children’s Privacy

The App is not intended for users under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected such information, we will delete it promptly.

8. International Data Transfers

If you use the App from outside [Your Country], your information may be transferred to and processed in [Your Country or another country where our servers are located]. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data during such transfers.

9. Third-Party Links

The App may contain links to third-party websites, such as restaurant websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party sites. Please review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy in the App or via email (if applicable). The "Last Updated" date at the top indicates when the policy was last revised.
