Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 29, 2026
Feedhood ("we", "us", "our") operates the Feedhood mobile app and website at feedhood.com, a hyperlocal marketplace connecting home cooks, restaurants, bakers, farmers ("feeders") with neighbours who want to buy their food ("buyers"), plus drivers who deliver orders. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the rights you have over your data.
We comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) in Canada and the BC Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA). If you are in the European Economic Area, UK, or California, additional rights apply (see "Your Rights" below).
1. Information we collect
Information you give us
- Account info: email address, password (hashed via Supabase Auth, we never see your plaintext password).
- Profile info: full name, phone number, profile photo (optional), default delivery address.
- Order info: the items you order, delivery address, dietary preferences, optional booking details (party size, contact name/phone for dine-in).
- Payment info: handled by Stripe. We store only the last 4 digits of your card and the Stripe customer ID. Card numbers, CVV, and expiry never touch our servers.
- Feeder info (if you sell): business name, bio, food-safety certificate (PDF), Stripe Connect ID for payouts.
- Driver info (if you deliver): driver's license + insurance documents, vehicle details, real-time GPS location while on an active delivery.
- Communications: support emails, in-app messages, reviews you leave.
Information collected automatically
- Device + app info: device type, OS version, app version, push notification token.
- Usage data: screens viewed, features used, searches made, collected by Supabase + our own logs.
- Approximate location: to show feeders near you. We never track precise GPS unless you're an active driver on a delivery.
Information from third parties
- Stripe, payment + Connect account status.
- Google Maps + Places, geocoding addresses you enter.
- Apple / Google, push notification delivery (no personal info shared with them by us, beyond what the OS exposes).
2. How we use your information
We use your data only for the following purposes:
- To provide the Feedhood service: process orders, route deliveries, settle payouts, send notifications.
- To keep the marketplace trustworthy: verify food-safety certificates, review feeder + driver applications.
- To respond to customer support requests.
- To prevent fraud and abuse (account takeover, payment fraud, fake reviews).
- To improve the product (aggregated, anonymized analytics).
- To send transactional emails (order confirmations, password resets). We do not send marketing emails unless you opt in.
We do not sell your personal information to anyone, and we do not use it for targeted advertising.
4. How long we keep your data
Order + financial records: kept for at least 6 years to comply with the Canada Revenue Agency's record-keeping rules. Even if you delete your account, the order rows persist in anonymized form (your name becomes "Deleted user", PII is scrubbed).
Account profile, addresses, favorites, push tokens: deleted immediately when you request account deletion. See "Your Rights" below.
Driver GPS location: retained for 90 days after the delivery completes (for dispute resolution), then deleted.
Support tickets + reviews: retained for as long as your account is active, then 3 years after deletion.
5. How we protect your information
- All traffic between your device and our servers uses TLS 1.2+.
- Passwords are hashed by Supabase Auth using bcrypt.
- Database access is gated by Row Level Security policies, buyers can't see other buyers' orders, feeders can't see other feeders' menus, etc.
- Card numbers + CVV are never stored by us. Stripe (PCI-DSS Level 1 certified) handles all card data.
- Sensitive documents (food-safety certificates, driver licenses) are stored in private Supabase Storage buckets accessible only via short-lived signed URLs.
- Our team's access to your data is logged internally.
No internet service is 100% secure. We follow industry best practices but cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Your rights
You have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you.
- Correct inaccurate information in your profile (do this directly in the app).
- Delete your account (Profile → Delete my account). PII is scrubbed immediately; financial records are retained anonymously.
- Export your data in a portable format, email hello@feedhood.app.
- Withdraw consent for any optional processing at any time.
- Lodge a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or the BC Privacy Commissioner.
If you are in the EU/UK or California, GDPR and CCPA give you additional rights (right to object, right to data portability, etc.). Email us to exercise any of these.
7. Dine-in and in-person meetings
Dine-in lets a buyer reserve a seat to eat in person at a feeder's place (a restaurant, or a home cook hosting guests). To make a booking work, we share what's needed between the two of you: the feeder receives the buyer's booking name, party size, and a contact phone for the reservation, and the buyer may see the feeder's address and contact details the feeder has chosen to publish.
A dine-in then happens in person and off the platform. Any information you exchange face-to-face, and anything that happens during the meeting, is outside Feedhood's systems and outside our control. We can't protect personal information you choose to share in person, and we are not responsible for in-person dine-in interactions. Please see the dine-in section of our Terms of Service for how responsibility works, and only share what you're comfortable sharing.
8. Children
Feedhood is not intended for users under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we'll delete it.
10. International transfers
We host data in Canada when possible. Some service providers (Stripe, Google) process data in the US, your data is protected under their respective privacy frameworks (Stripe is GDPR-compliant; Google is Privacy Shield-certified).
11. Changes to this policy
If we make material changes, we'll notify you in-app and update the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of Feedhood after the effective date means you accept the revised policy.
