1. Who we are

VeganFinds ("VeganFinds", "we", "us" or "our") is a product operated by dVerse Technologies Pvt Ltd, based in Auroville, India. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have. It applies to our website, our waitlist sign-up form, and the VeganFinds mobile app.

By using our website or app, or by submitting your details through our sign-up form, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information we collect

Details you give us directly

When you join our rollout waitlist, we collect the information you enter into the form:

  • Name — so we can address you personally.
  • Mobile number — to notify you about launch and early access.
  • Email address — to send rollout updates and product news.

Information collected automatically

When you use our website or app, we may collect basic technical data such as device type, browser, approximate region, and how you interact with pages. This helps us understand usage and improve the experience.

3. How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Notify you when VeganFinds launches or becomes available in your city;
  • Offer early access to testers and waitlist members;
  • Send occasional product updates and rollout news (you can opt out at any time);
  • Respond to your questions and provide support;
  • Operate, maintain and improve our website and app.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your waitlist details for paid advertising or unrelated marketing.

4. App permissions (location & camera)

The VeganFinds app requests certain device permissions only to deliver its core features. You are always in control and can decline or revoke these in your device settings.

  • Location — used to find eateries near you and show relevant vegan and adaptable dishes. Location is processed to serve your request and is not used to track you across other services.
  • Camera — used only when you choose to scan a physical menu. Menu images are processed to identify dishes; we do not access your camera in the background.

5. Community contributions

VeganFinds improves as the community contributes. If you submit feedback on a dish — for example confirming whether it was truly vegan, or noting how it was prepared — that feedback is stored and combined with other users' input to keep our TrustScore accurate. Community feedback is aggregated and is not published in a way that personally identifies you.

6. Sharing & third parties

We share personal information only in limited circumstances:

  • Service providers who help us operate — for example, hosting, analytics, email delivery, and the spreadsheet/database service where waitlist entries are stored. These providers process data on our behalf under appropriate safeguards.
  • Legal reasons — if required to comply with law, regulation, or a valid legal request, or to protect our rights and the safety of others.
  • Business transfers — if dVerse Technologies is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
Our waitlist form stores submissions in a Google Sheet hosted on Google's infrastructure. Google processes this data as our service provider; its handling is also subject to Google's own privacy terms.

7. Storage, retention & security

We retain your waitlist details for as long as needed to keep you informed about the rollout and our products, or until you ask us to remove them. We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, loss or misuse. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your rights & choices

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. You can unsubscribe from updates at any time using the link in our emails or by contacting us. To exercise any of these rights, reach us at the contact details below and we'll respond within a reasonable time.

For users in India, we handle personal data in line with applicable data protection law, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

9. Children's privacy

VeganFinds is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date above. If changes are significant, we'll take reasonable steps to let you know. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
