Usage Data:We collect and analyze details about your interactions with our Platform. This includes information such as the dates and times you access the Platform, the features you use, the pages you visit, the type of browser you use, the content you upload or post, error logs, system activity, and the websites or apps through which you access our Platform. Additionally, we track transaction details, such as the services you requested or received, the date and time of your orders, and the amount charged.

Device Data: We collect and analyze data about the device(s) you use to access our Platform. This may include your IP address, device hardware information, the operating system and its version, language preferences, unique device identifiers, advertising identifiers, and details about your mobile network.

Location Information: When you use our Platform, we, along with our service providers, may collect general location information from your computer or mobile device. "General" location refers to your city and state, determined from your device’s IP address. This helps us offer content specific to your location (e.g., nearby food providers, delivery status) and analyze delivery events. We will seek your permission before collecting precise GPS location data, which we may use to offer personalized services, content, promotions, and more. You can disable geolocation tracking on your device. For more details, refer to the “Your Rights and Choices” section below.

Information from Cookies and Other Technologies:We and our service providers use "cookies" and similar technologies (such as tracking pixels) to gather information about how you navigate and interact with our Platform. This data helps us understand popular content, improve your experience, offer more relevant services, authenticate you, deliver targeted ads, save preferences, and device, and location information as described above. Cookies are small text files placed on your device by web servers, designed to store basic information and help websites recognize your browser. We use both session cookies (which disappear after you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain after you close your browser and can be accessed during future visits). Tracking pixels (also known as web beacons or clear GIFs) are small electronic tags embedded in websites, online ads, and emails to gather data like ad impressions, clicks, and email open rates. These technologies help us measure Platform popularity and advertising effectiveness. We, along with vendors like Google Analytics, use these technologies for data analysis. You can learn more about Google’s analytics practices at google.com/policies/privacy/partners. If you prefer to stop Google Analytics from collecting your information, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on. To manage your cookie settings, such as receiving notifications when cookies are set or disabling cookies entirely, please consult your browser settings. Keep in mind that if you delete or refuse cookies, you may not be able to use certain features of our Platform. Additionally, we may use third-party vendors to gather real-time information about how you use and navigate our services, such as mouse movements and scrolling behavior, but we do not collect keystroke data. The data collected (including your IP address) may be shared with or collected directly by these service providers, who use it to evaluate your use of our Platform.

We may gather information about you from third parties, including the following:

Food and Delivery Service Providers: If you place an order through a food provider, they, or the delivery service for that order, may share details with us about your purchase or delivery, such as your name, phone number, order information, and delivery details.

Log-in Services and Social Network Connections: If you access our Platform through a third-party login (e.g., via a social network), you may grant us access to certain information from your social media profile. This information could include your name, gender, profile picture, "likes," and your friend list, depending on your social network settings. If you prefer not to share this information, do not use a social media login to access the Platform. For more information on how social networks handle your data, please review their privacy policies and terms of use, which may allow you to adjust your privacy settings.
