Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

StreetBites ("we", "us", "our") provides a platform that helps users discover food trucks nearby and allows food truck owners to share their locations and schedules. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use the StreetBites mobile app and website.

By using StreetBites, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

These providers process data only as needed to support our service.

4.2 Legal Requirements

We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to valid legal requests, or to protect our rights, users, or the public.

4.3 Public Information (Food Truck Owners)

If you register a food truck, information you choose to publish — such as your truck name, photos, menu, and schedule — may be visible to users within the app and is considered public information within the platform.

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies for basic functionality and analytics. We do not use cookies for third-party advertising or cross-site tracking.

We take reasonable measures to protect your information, including using secure hosting and infrastructure through our service providers. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
