Foodar privacy notice

Effective date: 9 November 2026 (location section updated 9 November 2026)

Foodar is published by BROMAPS TECHNOLOGIES PRIVATE LIMITED, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, through the Google Play developer account Makespree. Contact for privacy questions, deletion requests, corrections and listing removal: hello@makespree.com.

What Foodar is

Foodar helps adults (18 and over) in India find places to eat in Ahmedabad. You ask a question in plain English and Foodar suggests places from a catalog curated from named public sources. Foodar does not take orders, bookings or payments. It has no user accounts and no sign-in screen.

What happens when you ask a question

The app sends your question, up to the last six turns of the conversation (your earlier questions and the places suggested), public catalog details and the current time to Google's Gemini model through Firebase AI Logic. It uses Google Agent Platform, the model gemini-3.5-flash-lite and the asia-south1 (Mumbai) region.

Foodar does not keep a copy of your conversations on its own servers. Google processes the request under the Google Cloud service terms, which restrict using customer data to train models without permission. Google may still keep request data for limited periods for abuse monitoring, caching or logging. Choosing the Mumbai region does not mean every part of the processing stays in India. Please don't include sensitive personal information in questions.

Information on your phone

Your chat history, settings, a copy of the catalog and a local request counter are stored on your phone. Android backup of this data is turned off. You can delete one chat or all chats in the app, and uninstalling the app removes everything. Deleting chats on your phone does not recall questions already sent to Google or reports you sent.

Anonymous app ID

To protect the service, the app creates a random anonymous ID with Firebase Authentication the first time you use it. There is no sign-in. The ID is sent with ratings and reports. Firebase Authentication processes it together with technical information such as your IP address and device type. Anonymous IDs are kept until you ask us to delete them. App Check and Google Play Integrity check that requests come from the genuine app; they process device and app integrity information for security.

Usage and crash information

The app uses Google Analytics for Firebase and Firebase Crashlytics. They can't currently be turned off in the app.

• Analytics. Foodar records only a few events: whether an answer was found, how long it took and how many places were shown; thumbs up or down; that a report was sent; and directions taps. These events don't include your question text, conversation or device location. The Analytics SDK also collects standard information automatically, such as an app-instance ID, device and app details, session information and an approximate location derived from your IP address. Event-level Analytics data is kept for 2 months. The advertising ID is not collected, and ad personalisation is turned off.
• Crashlytics. It records crash and error reports so problems can be fixed: a short error category, technical stack traces, and device and app details. Google keeps Crashlytics data for a limited period set by Google (currently 90 days).

Location

When you search, Foodar asks for your approximate location (if you haven't already allowed it) so it can suggest places within about 10 to 20 km of you. It looks further only when you ask, for example "farther" or "within 30 km". Your location is used only on your phone, to work out distances and choose which places are considered. It is not sent to Foodar or included in AI questions, reports or analytics events, and it is kept in the app's memory for no more than 10 minutes. The list of nearby places sent to the AI could still indicate your general area. You can refuse; the search then covers all of Ahmedabad, and you can type an area name instead.

Place locations and area centres come from OpenStreetMap (map data © OpenStreetMap contributors, Open Database License).

Ratings and reports

Thumbs up or down sends your anonymous ID, a message reference, the rating and the time.

A report sends:

• your anonymous ID, a message reference and the place, if any;
• the reason;
• your optional comment (up to 1,000 characters);
• the answer you were shown (up to 4,000 characters);
• the time.

The app shows what will be sent before you send it.

We use reports to fix wrong information and to remove offensive or unsafe AI answers. Ratings and reports are deleted automatically 30 days after they are sent, through Firestore's automatic expiry. Deletion usually happens shortly after the 30 days, not at the exact moment.

Links to other apps

Share, website, email and maps links open the app you choose. That app's own privacy terms apply.

Where data goes

Your data is processed by Google services for the purposes above: Firebase Authentication, App Check, Cloud Firestore (asia-south1, Mumbai), Firebase AI Logic and Agent Platform, Remote Config, Google Analytics and Crashlytics. Some of these services, including Firebase Authentication, process data outside India, for example in the United States. Data travels encrypted over HTTPS.

Google's terms:

• Firebase privacy and security: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy
• Data collected by each Firebase SDK: https://firebase.google.com/docs/android/play-data-disclosure
• Google Cloud service terms: https://cloud.google.com/terms/service-terms

Catalog corrections and removal

The catalog contains public business information, short original summaries and links to the sources we used. It never shows a home chef's private address. To correct or remove a listing, email hello@makespree.com.

Your requests and deleting data

Email hello@makespree.com to ask about, correct or delete your information.

Because Foodar has no accounts, we cannot see who you are. To help us find your reports, tell us roughly when you sent them and what they said. We match records on a best-effort basis. Never send passwords or identity documents.

You can delete data on your phone yourself:

• One chat: open the history drawer, tap the menu next to the chat (or long-press it) and choose "Delete chat".
• All chats: in the history drawer, choose "Delete all chats".
• Everything: uninstall the app.
