Privacy Policy

At CityBites, we protect your personal data and respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, process, and disclose your information when you use our mobile and web applications (the "Service").

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide a better service to all our users. This includes:

• Account Information: When you sign up, we collect your email address, password, and name.
• Location Data: To display nearby restaurants, we ask for your permission to access your device's geographical location. You can opt out at any time.
• Usage Data: We track user interactions (e.g., viewing restaurants, bookings) to analyze performance and optimize user flows. This is handled anonymously.
• Payment Data: All payments are processed securely through Stripe. We do not store or see your raw credit card numbers.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to operate, maintain, and improve our services, including:

• Configuring and maintaining your user account and active lunch subscriptions.
• Providing geographical search filters so you can discover premium restaurant deals near you.
• Generating dynamic checkout sessions and handling secure payouts.
• Improving our product design, diagnosing bugs, and preventing fraud.

3. Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We only share information with partners (like partner restaurants) to verify check-ins and bookings. Third-party tools like Firebase Analytics, Stripe, and Google Maps process data in accordance with their privacy policies.

4. Your Rights and Choice

You can delete your account permanently directly from the Settings screen in the application. Doing so will permanently wipe your user document, booking records, and delete your Firebase Authentication credentials.

5. Security

We use industry-standard encryption, Firebase Firestore security rules, and secure environment tokens to safeguard your data. No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, but we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect it.
