Privacy Policy for Fuudie
Last updated: October 26, 2026
Fuudie ("the App," "we," "us") is a food-discovery app. Diners swipe through nearby restaurant dishes and jump into ordering through third-party delivery platforms; restaurant owners create an account and pay a subscription to list their own dishes directly in the App.
Information We Collect
If you're using Fuudie to find food ("I'm Eating")
- Location. With your permission, the App uses your device's location to show restaurants near you and to label your approximate area (e.g. "near you"). Location is sent to our geocoding provider (see Third-Party Services below) only to resolve that label, and to our database to find nearby restaurant listings. We do not store your location or location history on our servers.
- Account is optional. You can browse dishes and build a shortlist without creating an account, and we do not collect your name, email, or contact information if you continue as a guest. If you choose to sign up instead, we collect an email address and password, used solely to authenticate you, and we record which dishes you've swiped on (liked or skipped) so they don't repeat in a future session. We do not use this email for marketing.
- No payment information. Diners never pay through Fuudie. When you choose to order through DoorDash, Uber Eats, or another linked platform, you leave the App and place your order directly with that company, under their own privacy policy and terms.
If you're listing a restaurant ("I'm Serving")
- Account information. Creating a restaurant account requires an email address and password, used to authenticate you and let you manage your listing. We also use this email to send you account messages, such as confirming your email address and letting you know when a location has been verified. We do not use it for marketing.
- Restaurant and dish content. Your restaurant's name, address (geocoded to a map location — see Third-Party Services), phone number, optional ordering and reservation links, and the dishes you add (name, price, description, ingredients, calories, cuisine, and any photo you upload) are stored so they can be shown to diners. This content is retained until you delete it or delete your account.
- Subscription and payment information. Listings are a paid subscription. Payments are processed by Stripe: when you subscribe, you enter your card details on Stripe's secure checkout page, and Stripe — not Fuudie — collects and stores your card information. We receive and store only your Stripe customer and subscription identifiers, your plan (monthly or annual), and your subscription status and renewal or trial dates, so the App knows whether your listing is active.
- Listing activity. We record when diners add your dishes to their shortlist, so we can show you how your dishes are performing. These records are not tied to any individual diner's identity.
Third-Party Services
- Supabase hosts the App's database, authentication, and photo storage. See Supabase's Privacy Policy.
- Stripe processes restaurant subscription payments and hosts the checkout and billing pages. See Stripe's Privacy Policy.
- Resend delivers the App's account emails (email confirmation and verification notices). See Resend's Privacy Policy.
- OpenStreetMap Nominatim converts a restaurant's address into map coordinates when a restaurant owner creates or edits a location.
- BigDataCloud resolves a diner's approximate coordinates into a place name (e.g. a neighborhood or city) for the "near you" label.
- If you tap through to order, DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, Resy, OpenTable, or the restaurant's own site opens directly. We do not receive any information about orders or reservations placed there. Review their policies directly, for example:
Data Retention
Diner-side browsing as a guest does not create any stored record tied to you. If you create a diner account, your email and swipe history are retained until you delete your account. Restaurant account and listing data is retained until you delete it yourself from within the App. Stripe may retain records of past payments as required for its own legal, tax, and fraud-prevention obligations.
Deleting Your Account
You can delete your account at any time from within the App:
- Diners: open the Filters menu and tap Delete my account under Account. This permanently removes your login and swipe history.
- Restaurants: on your Dashboard, tap Delete my account (or Delete this location if you have more than one). This cancels the listing subscription for the deleted location(s) and permanently removes your restaurant, dishes, photos, and — for a full account deletion — your login.
Deletion takes effect immediately and can't be undone. You can also ask us to delete your data by contacting us below.
Children's Privacy
The App is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as the App evolves. We'll update the "Last updated" date above when that happens.
