Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how [Company Legal Name] (“Culinayr,” “we,” “us”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use the Culinayr website and services (the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to this Policy.
Information we collect
We collect the following categories of information:
- Account information — the email address, username, and any profile details (bio, photo) you provide when you sign up.
- Content you create — reviews, ratings, photos, guides, comments, and the dishes and restaurants you save or like.
- Location — the city or area you search in, and, only with your permission, your device’s approximate location to show nearby dishes.
- Usage and device data — pages viewed, searches run, approximate location derived from IP address, browser and device type, and similar analytics data, collected automatically.
How we use information
- To operate, personalize, and improve the Service.
- To let you sign in, post content, and interact with others.
- To send account and security messages (for example, login links).
- To understand usage and measure and improve performance.
- To detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, and security issues.
- To comply with legal obligations.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only:
- Publicly — content you choose to post (reviews, ratings, photos, guides, profile) is visible to other users.
- With service providers — vendors that host our infrastructure, send email, and provide analytics and error monitoring, under obligations to protect the data.
- For legal reasons — when required by law or to protect rights, safety, and the integrity of the Service.
- In a business transfer — as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
Cookies and analytics
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and understand how the Service is used. We use analytics and performance tools that may set their own identifiers. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
Data retention
We keep information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
Your choices and rights
You can view and edit your profile, delete content you posted, and request deletion of your account by contacting us. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information, or to object to certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at [privacy@culinayr.com].
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children
The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the age required by your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Effective date” above and, for material changes, provide additional notice.
