This Privacy Policy describes how the restaurant recommendation mobile application (the “App”), owned and licensed by Manon Playoust, collects, uses, and protects your personal data. By downloading, installing, or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

1. Data We Collect

The App collects the following categories of personal data:

Contact Information: Your name and email address may be collected when you create an account, contact customer support, or sign up for updates. This data is used for App functionality, customer support, and, where applicable, developer marketing. This information is linked to your identity.

Location Data: With your consent, the App may access your device’s coarse location to provide nearby restaurant recommendations and improve personalization.

User Content: Data you voluntarily submit through reviews, wishlists, and in-App chat history may be collected. This is used to provide and improve App functionality and personalized recommendations. Customer support messages are also collected for service purposes. This data may be linked to your identity.

Diagnostics: Crash data and technical logs may be collected to monitor App performance, fix errors, and ensure security.

2. Purpose of Processing

We process your personal data only for the following purposes:

  • To provide the App’s core functionality, including AI-powered restaurant recommendations.

  • To personalize your experience based on your preferences, location, and activity.

  • To communicate with you regarding support requests, updates, and notifications.

  • To ensure the stability, performance, and security of the App.

  • To comply with legal obligations.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

We rely on the following legal bases under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

  • Consent: For location services, push notifications, and marketing communications.

  • Contractual necessity: To deliver the App’s services and features you request.

  • Legitimate interests: For improving App functionality, ensuring security, and analyzing aggregated usage.

4. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. User-generated content (such as reviews or wishlists) is retained until you delete your account or request deletion. Crash logs and diagnostics may be stored temporarily for troubleshooting.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. Limited sharing may occur in the following cases:

  • Service providers: Trusted vendors that assist with hosting, analytics, or customer support, bound by confidentiality and data protection obligations.

  • Legal requirements: Where disclosure is necessary to comply with law, regulation, or legal process.

6. Your Rights

Under GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.

  • Request correction or deletion of your personal data.

  • Withdraw consent at any time (for example, disabling location or push notifications).

  • Object to processing or request restriction of processing in certain cases.

  • Request data portability in a structured, machine-readable format.

To exercise your rights, please contact us at contact@spottedaroundparis.com.

7. International Data Transfers

If your data is transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent protection mechanisms.

8. Security

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no system can be completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children’s Privacy

The App is not directed to children under the age of 16. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from children without appropriate consent, we will delete it.

10. Updates to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Significant changes will be communicated through the App or other appropriate means. Continued use of the App after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
