Privacy & Data Trust Policy
Privacy & Data Trust Policy
At Unda Pa Kome Na Korsou, our mission is to bring neighborhoods together through great food. Just as we believe in complete transparency when it comes to local menus and pricing, we believe in complete transparency regarding your data.
This Privacy & Data Trust Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and handle your information. We have written this in plain English because your privacy shouldn't be hidden behind confusing legal jargon.
1. Our Core Privacy Promise
Before diving into the details, here is our bottom line: We are in the business of connecting hungry neighbors with local food, not selling personal data. We will never sell, rent, or trade your private contact information to third-party data brokers, marketers, or advertisers.
2. Information We Collect
We collect different types of information depending on how you interact with our platform.
A. For Business Owners (Menu Submissions)
When you submit your food parlor to our directory, we collect two categories of data:
Public Business Data: This is the information you want the world to see. It includes your business name, physical address, public phone number, operating hours, cuisine type, and your menus/pricing. This data is published on our site for users to find you.
Private Contact Data: This is the information we need to manage our relationship with you. It includes the owner or manager’s name, private email address, and direct phone number. This information is strictly confidential and is never published on the site.
B. For Everyday Visitors (Hungry Neighbors)
You do not need to create an account to browse neighborhoods, view menus, or compare prices on our site. However, to keep the site running smoothly, we automatically collect basic analytics:
Usage Data: Information on how you navigate the site (e.g., which neighborhoods are searched most often, which menu pages are visited).
Device Information: Browser type, device type (mobile vs. desktop), and general location data (like a zip code or IP address) so we can automatically show you food options in your immediate area.
3. How We Use Your Information
We only use the data we collect to make Unda Pa Kome Na Korsou a better, more accurate tool for the community.
To Operate the Directory: We use Public Business Data to populate the neighborhood maps, menu pages, and price comparison tools.
To Communicate with Owners: We use Private Contact Data to verify business submissions, send reminders to update outdated menus, and provide support if there is an issue with a listing.
To Improve the User Experience: We use aggregated visitor data to understand traffic patterns. For example, if we see a massive spike in searches for a specific neighborhood, we know we need to recruit more food parlors in that area.
To Protect the Platform: We use basic security monitoring to prevent spam submissions, bots, and fraudulent activity on our site.
4. How We Protect Your Data
We treat your private data like a secret family recipe. We implement industry-standard security measures to ensure your information is safe from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.
Secure Storage: All private contact information is stored on secure, encrypted servers.
Limited Access: Only authorized Unda Pa Kome Na Korsou administrative staff have access to the Private Contact Data of business owners, and only for necessary administrative tasks.
5. Third-Party Sharing
We do not sell your personal data. We only share information with third parties under the following strict conditions:
Service Providers: We may use trusted third-party services to host our website, manage email communications, or analyze site traffic (e.g., Google Analytics). These providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and are only permitted to use your data to perform services on our behalf.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required to do so by law, or in response to a valid legal request by public authorities.
6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Like almost all modern websites, Unda Pa Kome Na Korsou uses cookies (small text files placed on your device) to enhance your browsing experience.
Essential Cookies: Required for the site to function properly (e.g., remembering your neighborhood selection while you navigate different pages).
Performance Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our site so we can improve its design and functionality.
Your Choice: You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, some features of the site may not function perfectly.
7. Your Rights and Control Over Your Data
You own your data, and you have the right to control it.
For Business Owners:
Update or Correct: If your menu, prices, or hours change, you can contact us at any time to update your public listing.
The Right to be Forgotten: If your business closes, or if you simply no longer wish to be featured on our platform, send us an email. We will completely remove your public listing and delete your private contact data from our active databases within 48 hours—no questions asked.
8. Changes to this Policy
As our platform grows and expands into new neighborhoods, we may occasionally update this Privacy & Data Trust Policy. If we make significant changes to how we handle personal data, we will notify our registered business owners via email and place a prominent notice on our website.
9. Contact Us
Transparency goes both ways. If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback about this policy or how we handle your data, our digital door is always open.
