Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2025

Overview

At DashGrub, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our service.

DashGrub is designed to be privacy-friendly. We collect minimal data, only what's needed to provide our service, and we don't sell your data to third parties.

Information We Collect

Session Data

When you use DashGrub, we temporarily store:

  • Randomly generated user IDs
  • Room codes and associated food options
  • Voting preferences
  • Display names (if provided)

This information is stored only for the duration of your session and is automatically deleted when a room is inactive for 24 hours.

Local Storage

We use your browser's local storage to:

  • Remember your display name
  • Store your user ID
  • Track which rooms you've created

This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers except as needed for room functionality.

Technical Information

Our servers automatically log basic technical information, including:

  • IP address (temporarily, for security monitoring)
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type
  • Time and date of access

This information is used for troubleshooting, preventing abuse, and improving our service.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide and maintain the DashGrub service
  • Enable real-time communication between users in a room
  • Track voting preferences to determine results
  • Improve and optimize the application
  • Prevent abusive or illegal activities
Cookies & Third-Party Services

DashGrub uses minimal cookies, primarily for session management. We don't use cookies for advertising purposes.

We use the following third-party services:

  • Vercel: For hosting our application
  • Supabase: For database functionality
  • Pusher: For real-time communication between users

Each of these services has their own privacy policies, and their use of data is limited to providing the necessary functionality for DashGrub.

Data Retention & Deletion

Room data (including food options, votes, and participant information) is automatically deleted 24 hours after the last activity in a room.

Local storage data remains on your device until you clear your browser cache or local storage.

We don't maintain user accounts or profile information, so there's no persistent data to request deletion of. Each session starts fresh.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.

Major changes will be announced on our website or through in-app notifications.
