Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 16, 2026

1. Who we are and what this covers

DishDelish (we, us) operates the DishDelish app and the website at dishdeli.sh (together, the Service). We are based in Saskatchewan, Canada. This policy explains how we handle personal information about the people who use the Service.

2. Information we collect

  • Account information, such as your email address, sign-in details and account settings. If you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive an identifier and the email address that provider shares with us, which may be a private relay address.
  • Your reviews, such as restaurant and meal titles, dishes, ratings, notes, cuisines, dates, the places you attach and the photos you add.
  • AI requests, such as the instructions you type or dictate to an AI feature and the review they apply to, and records of those requests.
  • Location: the places you choose for your reviews, and, if you allow it, your device's location while you use the app, to suggest places near you. We do not track your location in the background.
  • Purchase information, such as your subscription status and transaction records from the app store. The app store handles payment, and we do not receive your card details.
  • Usage and device information, such as your IP address, device and app version, the pages you visit on our website, and diagnostic records.
  • Communications, such as the messages you send us and our replies.

3. How we use it

We use personal information to:

  • provide, operate and maintain the Service, including storing and showing you your reviews;
  • carry out AI and place-search requests you make;
  • provide DishDelish Pro and confirm your subscription;
  • communicate with you about your account, the Service and your requests;
  • understand how the Service and our website are used, and improve them;
  • keep the Service and its users safe, detect and prevent fraud and abuse, and enforce our terms; and
  • meet legal, tax and accounting obligations, and establish or defend legal claims.

Where the law requires a legal basis, we rely on performing our contract with you, our legitimate interests in running, securing and improving the Service, compliance with law, and your consent where we ask for it, such as for your device's location.

4. Your reviews are private

DishDelish is a personal food diary. We do not publish your reviews or show them to other users. We do not sell your personal information, and there are no ads in the app.

5. AI processing

When you use an AI feature, we send what is needed to carry out your request, such as your instruction and the review it applies to, to third-party AI providers. We do not use your reviews or instructions to train AI models, and we send AI requests only to providers whose terms say they do not train on that data. Providers may keep limited records for safety, abuse prevention and legal compliance. Do not put another person's sensitive information into an instruction.

6. Who we share it with

We share personal information only as follows:

  • Service providers who work for us, such as hosting, storage and delivery, AI, place search, sign-in, email delivery, analytics and security services. They receive what they need to do that work.
  • Apple and Google, when you choose to sign in with them, and the app store you subscribe through, to process and confirm your purchase.
  • Google's place search, which receives your searches and, if you allow it, your location, to suggest places. Google's handling is described in the Google Privacy Policy.
  • For legal reasons, where we believe it is needed to comply with law or legal process, protect anyone's rights, safety or property, or investigate fraud, abuse or security issues.
  • In a business transfer, such as a merger, financing, reorganisation or sale of all or part of the Service.
  • With your consent or at your direction.

7. Cookies and similar technologies

Our website uses Google Analytics, which sets cookies, to understand how the site is used. You can block or delete cookies in your browser, and Google offers a browser add-on to opt out of Google Analytics. The app does not use advertising or cross-app tracking technologies.

8. Where it is processed

We and our providers process information in the United States, and may do so in other countries. It may be subject to the laws of those places, including lawful access by their authorities. Where the law requires, we use appropriate safeguards for these transfers.

9. How long we keep it

We keep personal information for as long as needed for the purposes in this policy, which for your reviews is while your account is open. After that we delete or de-identify it, except where we need to keep it for legal, tax, security or dispute reasons. Copies may remain in backups for a limited period before they expire.

10. Security

We use administrative, technical and physical safeguards suited to the information we hold. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of information. If an incident affects your personal information, we will notify you and the authorities where the law requires.

11. Your choices and rights

You can edit or delete a review at any time, and delete your account and its reviews and photos from the app's account settings. DishDelish Pro lets you export your reviews. You can turn off location access in your device's settings.

Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to access, correct or delete your personal information, to receive a copy, to object to or restrict some uses, to withdraw consent, and to complain to a privacy regulator. To make a request, email hello@dishdeli.sh from your account's address. We may need to verify your identity, and we will respond within the time the law requires. Some information may be kept where the law allows.

In Canada, you may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. In the UK or the European Economic Area, you may contact your data-protection authority.

12. Children

The Service is for people 18 and older, and we do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. We will change the date above, and if a change materially affects how we use your information, we will tell you by email or in the app before it takes effect.
