FairPlate Privacy Policy
The short version: you always pay restaurants directly on their own sites — FairPlate never sees, enters, or stores your card. Most of your data stays on your phone. We don't sell data, and this beta has no ads and no third-party analytics.
What we collect
- Account (optional). If you sign in, we store the email address — and, if Apple or Google shares it, the name — tied to your sign-in. Accounts are managed by our authentication provider (Supabase). Browsing works without an account.
- On your device. Your favorites, delivery-app memberships, saved addresses, settings, and your order history with estimated savings live on your phone. When you're signed in, favorites, memberships, and order history sync to your account so they survive a new phone; saved addresses stay on the device.
- Location (optional). Only if you choose "Use my location," we use your approximate location to find nearby restaurants. We don't build or keep a history of where you've been.
- Order-cost reading (off unless you turn it on). If you enable it, while you are on a restaurant's own ordering pages inside the app, the app reads the cost lines its checkout shows — subtotal, fees, discounts, tax, tip, total and any order minimum — and whether it says it can't deliver to your address, whether or not you finish the order. It reads nothing else from those pages: never your name, address, email, phone number, payment details, or order number, and never the page's web address. If you're using your device location, the reading includes only a distance range between you and the restaurant (for example, 3–5 miles) — never your location itself. Readings are saved on your phone first and, if you're signed in, sent to your account. When you place an order, the cost lines from the restaurant's confirmation page are also saved with that order in your order history, and you can remove that reading from the in-app screen that confirms your order. Our team reviews readings and may use the amounts and delivery-range results to correct what FairPlate shows everyone; those are kept with a coded reference rather than your name or email and stay in our fee data if you later delete your account. Turning reading off in Account deletes any readings not yet sent.
- Things you send us. Suggestions, local lore, bug reports, and price-check screenshots you choose to submit are reviewed by our team and stored with Google (Sheets / Cloud Storage).
- Invite requests. If you request an invite on our website, we store your email address with Google (Sheets) and use it only to contact you about the beta. To be taken off the list, email us at the address below.
What we never collect
- Card numbers or payment credentials — checkout always happens on the restaurant's own ordering site.
- FairPlate's ordering assistance never enters payment or personal details for you, and it stays out of sign-in and payment pages entirely.
The in-app browser
When you order direct, the restaurant's own ordering page opens in a private in-app browser. Its cookies and site data are cleared when your session ends. What you do on the restaurant's site is governed by that restaurant's own privacy policy.
Services we rely on
Sign in with Apple and Google; Supabase for accounts and synced data; Google for the restaurant ratings shown in the app; and the restaurants' own websites for ordering.
Deleting your data
In the app: Account → Delete my account removes your account and everything synced to it. Data stored only on your phone is removed when you delete the app.
About this beta
FairPlate is in a small invite-led beta. This notice will be revised — including legal review — before any public release, and material changes will be reflected on this page with a new effective date.
