• Device and technical data needed for notifications, security, diagnostics, and service reliability, including push tokens, app version, device context, crash details, and request identifiers.

Barter Eats does not sell personal information and does not use it for third-party advertising or cross-app tracking.

We use providers that process information on our behalf to operate the service: Apple; Google services including Firebase and Google Maps; Expo and Apple Push Notification service; Railway for application and database hosting; Cloudflare R2 for uploaded media; and Sentry for error diagnostics. Their processing is also governed by their own terms and privacy notices.

Profile, venue, offer, and collaboration information is shown to other participants where needed to use the service. For example, venue operators can review creator profiles and submitted proof, while creators can view public venue and offer details. Do not upload private information that is unnecessary for a collaboration.

We retain account information while the account is active and as needed to operate and secure the service. You can permanently delete a non-admin account from Profile in the app. Deletion removes the account and associated application data, uploaded media, push tokens, and authentication account. Limited records may be retained when required by law, to address fraud or security, or in time-limited backups that are isolated from normal use.

You can edit profile and venue information in the app, disable push notifications, revoke location or photo-library access in device settings, sign out, or delete your account. You may contact us to ask about your information or report a privacy concern.

We use access controls, encrypted network connections, and service-provider security controls to protect information. No system can guarantee absolute security. Providers may process information in countries other than where you live, subject to applicable transfer safeguards.

Barter Eats is intended for adults aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Contact us if you believe a child has provided information.

We may update this policy as the service changes. The effective date above identifies the latest version. For privacy questions or requests, email [email protected].
