Optimizing courier routes and delivery operations

We only share your data when necessary:

With partner restaurants and stores (only the information needed to prepare and deliver your order)
With delivery partners and couriers (name, address, phone number, order details, and delivery instructions)
With customers during active deliveries for real-time order tracking
With payment service providers
With technical service providers (cloud hosting, analytics, customer support tools, etc.) who process data on our behalf
With authorities when legally required

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

4. International Data Transfers

When personal data is transferred outside the EU/EEA, we use appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses and other lawful mechanisms to ensure your data remains protected.

5. Your Rights

You have the right to:

Object to certain types of processing
Withdraw consent at any time
Request restriction of processing
Lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Authority

You can manage many of these rights directly through your Munchies account settings or by contacting us.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy or as required by applicable laws and regulations (for example, accounting records may be retained for up to 7 years).

7. Location Permissions and Background Access

For delivery tracking and courier operations, the Munchies Courier app may request access to foreground and background location permissions.

Background location access allows couriers to:

receive delivery assignments,
provide real-time tracking updates,
optimize delivery routes,
and verify delivery completion.

Location data may continue to be collected while the app is running in the background to support active delivery operations.

Users may disable location permissions at any time through their device settings. However, some delivery-related features may not function properly without location access.
