Fresh Bite 2 Go Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 14, 2020

Overview of Policy
This Privacy Policy (this “Policy”) applies to you if you access and use the Fresh Bite 2 Go mobile app (the “App”) and its services, including the associated website at www.freshbitetogo.com. (collectively, the “Services”). This Policy relates to the information you may submit and the ones we automatically obtain when you access or use the App and/or associated website. This Policy does not apply to the information collected by any third party website or service, such as the food vendors.

The Services is provided under the company, 5025205 Ontario Inc. (referred herein collectively as “Fresh Bite 2 Go”). This Policy further describes all Fresh Bite 2 Go’s processing activities of the information it collects from all its users – the food vendors (the “Chefs” or “Chef”) or the food buyers (the “Consumers” or “Consumer”).

This Policy details, including without limitation: (i) how information is collected, (ii) how the information collected is used, (iii) how the information may be disclosed, (iv) how the information is secured/safeguarded, and (v) the users’ rights regarding the information. You are expected to read, understand, and consent to this Policy, our Terms and Conditions, and other agreements posted through the Services. By using the Services, which includes accessing and/or using the App and website, you hereby agree to the manner in which we process your information. If you do not agree to this Policy, you may not use the Services.

The Information Collected when you use the Services and their Uses
When you use the Services, we obtain some personal information from you, which are used to provide the App to you. This category of information may be obtained from you in two ways: it may be provided by you willingly or automatically obtained by us through some programmed software. See the classification below:

The Personal Information you willingly Provide to Fresh Bite 2 Go
Personal Information, as defined under Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”), is any factual or subjective information (whether or not recorded), about an identifiable person – in this case, you and the other App users. When you use the Services, you may be required to submit some certain personal information (whether as a Chef or Consumer), which are:

Registration and Contact Information: Registration and contact information may include your name, email address, phone number, business address, home address, picture, and other profile information. As a Chef, you may also be required to provide optional files such as diplomas, certificates, or awards related to your food business in order to prove your business. Registration information may be obtained when you open an account with Fresh Bite 2Go, complete your profile information, subscribe to our newsletter, or contact us for inquiries or issues. Registration information is used for KYC (to identify you from other users), to contact you on offers we think may interest you, and to generally provide the Services.

Payment Information: Whether you are a Chef or Consumer, you will be required to submit payment information. For example, you will be required as a Consumer to submit payment information in order for Fresh Bite 2 Go to process any payments for any food ordered from a Chef. All payments are processed through our third party service provider, Stripe.

ID Information: In order to conduct a background check and verify you, Fresh Bite 2 Go will require you to submit any government-issued ID, such as a driver’s license or passport. ID information will not be used for any other purpose other than to verify you and/or your business (if applicable). For example, we are required under applicable law to ensure a Chef is who they say they are.

Communications and Participations: We also obtain information from you when you participate in any of our programs, such as surveys, sweepstakes, and promotions. To register you for these activities, we will need to collect some information, such as your name and contact information, from you to identify and contact you.

The Personal Information Fresh Bite 2 Go Obtains Automatically
We use programmed software to automatically collect some information from you when you access the App or website. Some of this software include cookies and third party tracking tools. See more details below:

Device Information: We use cookies to obtain information about the device you are accessing the Services with. Device information may include, without limitation, your device operating system, browser type, IP address, internet service provider, and other related information. Device information is collected for security purposes.

Usage Information: We collect information about how you use the Services. Usage information may include the date and time of your access, the part or feature of the App you viewed, and the previous apps or websites you accessed before using our Services. Usage information is anonymous and does not include any personal information. We collect usage information for marketing purposes, to identify which part of the Services needs improvement, and to personalize the Services to you.

Analytics Information: When you access the App and website as a visitor, and during your subsequent visits, we will collect analytics information about your usage. We collectanalytics information through Google Analytics, a third party tracking software provided by Google Inc. Analytics information includes anonymous information about the metrics and dimensions of traffic to the Services. This information helps us identify the features mostly used and how to improve the Services. See the cookies section for more about Google Analytics and your options.

Location Information: In order to provide the Services to you, you will be required to share your location information with us. For example, we need both users to share location information to enable us to show a Consumer the Chefs near them and locate a Chef’s location when they order from them. We do not forcefully know your location when you use the Services unless you grant us permission.

How Fresh Bite 2 Go may Disclose Personal Information about you
We will not disclose or share any information about you to a third party or the public unless you expressly order us. The information we collect in section 2 above is only used for the Services and is not in any way intended to be disclosed or shared with any unauthorized third party. However, there are some uncontrollable circumstances under which we may disclose your information, and they include:

Disclosures to our Service Providers: Service Providers are third party companies who provide certain services on our behalf. For example, we employ third party services for analytics, App and website maintenance, SMS sending, marketing and advertising, payment processing, web hosting, survey conducting, etc. Some of these Service Providers need access to certain information about you to carry out their duties. For example, in order to process your payments as a Consumer, we employ Stripe for this role, and they need access to your payment information to process such payments. Meanwhile, we only allow these Service Providers to use your information for the Services. They are under an obligation – through a nondisclosure agreement – to keep your information confidential.

Disclosures under the Law: Disclosures under the law include disclosures of your information to law enforcement or courts as required under applicable law or subpoena. We may also disclose your information when we believe that such disclosures are needed to comply with the law; to enforce our Terms and Conditions and other agreements; to protect our rights and other users of the Services; to prevent or protect fraudulent actions; to safeguard our integrity.

Disclosure under Business Transfers: Business transfers refers to any activity in the line of a business changeover, including merger, consolidation, sale of an asset, bankruptcy, or acquisition of Fresh Bite 2Go. For example, if we merge with another company, we may have to disclose information about you to such a company. Any business transfer occurrence will be communicated to you through your email address, and options will be provided to you thereafter.

Disclosures at your Consent: In some instances, we may share your information with third parties for their marketing purposes. However, this will not occur unless you approve of it. Likewise, we may share information with any app, company, website, or other third parties if you expressly direct us to.

Disclosures between Users: If you interact with another user through the Services. For example, when a Consumer and a Chef enters into a contract, information about both users will be available to each other. This will enable both users to interact and understand the terms of their agreement.

Disclosures to the Public: There are certain parts of the App where you may be able to post certain content such as reviews and ratings, comments, and business pictures and information. Such content will be available to anyone who navigates to the content area. For example, if you review a Chef’s services after delivery, your account name and feedback will be visible to other users of the App, who navigates to such an area.

Cookies and Other Tracking Tools
Fresh Bite 2 Go and certain Service Providers use cookies and other tracking tools, such as Google Analytics, on the App, website, email communications, advertisements, and other services for certain purposes, including but not limited to, personalizing the Services, improving the App and website, identifying each user preferences, measuring our adverts, analyzing traffic, and understanding user behaviours.

We will send you Marketing Emails for as long as you are subscribed to our marketing list. However, you may unsubscribe from receiving Marketing Emails by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link or button provided at the bottom of any Marketing Email that is sent to your email address. Marketing Emails do not include administrative emails such as upgrades to the Services, updates to this Policy or other agreements, and changes in the business model.

The Security of your Information
Fresh Bite 2 Go respects your privacy; we employ the necessary measures to ensure the information we hold about you is secured from unauthorized access or use. We do not share information about you with third parties unless you consent to it or under the circumstances discussed above. We employ the use of Twilio for SMS gateway, and for OTP verification. We also use a secured gateway, Stripe, to process your payments. However, you will agree with us that no matter how secure or sophisticated any measures employed are, they may not be enough to arrest every threat to your personal information. Although we will do everything within standards to safeguard your personal information, we cannot guarantee that only authorized persons will have access to it. Therefore, Fresh Bite 2 Go will not be liable to you for any breach of your information, which may occur from third party theft.
