Privacy Policy for OrderWith

Last updated: November 5, 2026

Welcome to OrderWith ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how it is stored, and your rights when you use our mobile application (OrderWith, package name com.hussein.orderwith).

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. If you do not agree with any terms of this Privacy Policy, please discontinue using the application.

1. Information We Collect

A. Personal Information You Provide to Us

• Account Registration & Profile Information:** When you sign up or log in, we collect your email address, password (securely hashed), full name / display name, and optional avatar / profile picture.
• Group & Order Content:** When creating or participating in food ordering groups, we collect information you submit, including group names, restaurant voting choices, menu items selected, order notes, and payment status updates.
• Uploaded Images and Documents:** If you use features such as AI menu scanning or profile customization, you may upload photos, camera snapshots, or PDF menus.

B. Device & Technical Information

• Device Information:** General device characteristics (such as operating system version, device model, and app version) to ensure compatibility and diagnose crashes.
• Authentication Tokens & Local Storage:** We use local secure storage (e.g., Shared Preferences) to keep you signed in securely across app restarts.

C. Permissions Requested

OrderWith requests access to certain device features only when required for core functionality:

• Camera: Used to scan QR codes for quickly joining groups and to take photos of restaurant menus or receipts.
• Photos / Media / Storage: Used to select menu images or PDFs from your device library for upload and menu extraction.
• Internet / Network State: Required to communicate with backend servers, synchronize group orders in real time, and process menu scans.

You can grant or revoke these permissions at any time through your device's operating system settings.

2. How We Use Your Information

We process your information for the following legitimate purposes:

1. 1. To Provide the Core Service: Allowing you to create ordering groups, invite participants, vote on dining options, aggregate group meal orders, and coordinate payments between members.
2. 2. AI-Powered Menu Extraction: Processing uploaded menu images and documents using AI models (such as Google Gemini API) to extract and format dish names, descriptions, and prices into structured menus.
3. 3. Account Management & Authentication: Verifying your identity and securing access to your groups.
4. 4. Communication & App Improvements: Responding to user feedback, fixing bugs, and improving app performance and user experience.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for advertising or commercial purposes.

3. Third-Party Services & Processors

We partner with trusted third-party service providers to power OrderWith's infrastructure:

• Backend & Database (Supabase): We use Supabase to securely manage authentication, database storage, and file storage. Data is stored in secure cloud environments with Row-Level Security (RLS) policies.
• AI Menu Processing (Google Gemini API / Generative AI): When you upload menu photos or PDFs for automated menu extraction, the text and image contents are sent to Google Gemini API for OCR and text processing. These files are processed strictly to return menu items and are not used by us to train external models.

Each third-party provider processes data in accordance with their respective privacy policies and security standards.

4. Payment Information

OrderWith is currently a group coordination tool. We do not process credit cards, debit cards, or financial transactions directly inside the app. Any order payment settlements (e.g., via cash, bank transfer, or external peer-to-peer services) are settled independently between group organizers and members outside of the app. We only record a confirmation marker (e.g., "Paid" / "Pending") for organizational convenience.

5. Data Retention & Security

• Data Retention: We retain your account information and group order history for as long as your account remains active or as needed to provide you with the services.
• Data Security: We apply industry-standard security measures, including HTTPS encryption in transit and encrypted authentication storage at rest. However, please remember that no transmission method over the Internet is 100% secure.
• Account & Data Deletion:** You have the right to request deletion of your account and associated data. You can delete your account from within the Profile page or by contacting us directly.

6. Children's Privacy

OrderWith is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in certain jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children. If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately, and we will take steps to remove such information.

7. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (such as GDPR in Europe or CCPA/CPRA in California), you may have the following rights:

• Access & Portability: Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
• Rectification: Request corrections to any inaccurate or incomplete personal information.
• Deletion (Right to be Forgotten): Request that your account and personal data be permanently deleted.
• Withdraw Consent: Revoke device permissions (camera, gallery) at any time in device settings.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the app after updates indicates acceptance of the revised terms.
