Privacy Policy

Effective September 21, 2026

Chesherie LLC (“Chesherie,” “we,” or “us”) builds mobile applications for social coordination. This policy explains what personal information our websites and applications collect, how we use it, who processes it on our behalf, and the choices you have. It applies to all Chesherie products unless a product presents a different notice at the point of collection.

Information we collect

We collect only what a coordination product needs to function.

Account and contact data. Your name or display name, email address, phone number if you choose to provide it, profile photo, and the contacts you invite or connect with inside the app. If you grant contacts permission, we use it to match people you already know; we do not upload your full address book for any other purpose.
Dietary and food-avoidance information. Allergies, intolerances, pregnancy, religious or ethical dietary practices, and similar preferences you enter so that group plans account for them. Some of this may reveal health or religious characteristics, so we treat it as sensitive: it is used only to generate and share plans with the people you are coordinating with, it is never used for advertising, and it is never sold. Where a group sees that a dish conflicts with someone’s needs, we do not show which person the restriction belongs to.
Location data. Coarse or precise device location, and places you save or search, used to suggest venues and midpoints and to show plans near you. Precise location is collected only while you are using the app and only with your operating-system permission, which you can revoke at any time.
Device and usage data. Device model, operating-system version, app version, language, IP address, crash reports, and in-app events such as screens viewed and features used. On our websites and web apps, this can include a recording of how you use a page (clicks, scrolling, and navigation), with the text you type masked.
Choices and votes. In apps where a group decides together — for example, voting on dishes from a restaurant menu — the votes you cast, the items you skip or change your mind about, and how long you spend on each item.
Content you submit. Messages, plans, notes, photos (including photos of restaurant menus), and support correspondence.
Purchase records. If you buy something in an app, we receive a record of the purchase — what was bought, when, and a transaction identifier — but never your payment card details.

We do not knowingly collect government identifiers, payment card numbers (payments, where offered, are handled by the app store), or biometric data.

How we use information

To provide the core service: creating accounts, coordinating plans, matching availability, and honoring dietary constraints within a group.
To send transactional and plan-related notifications you have opted into.
To maintain security, prevent abuse and fraud, and enforce our Terms of Service.
To diagnose crashes and measure aggregate feature use so we can improve the product.
To generate features that use artificial intelligence, such as reading the items and prices from a menu photo, or writing playful summaries of how a group voted. For these, we send the relevant content — the menu photo, or the dishes each person voted on together with their display name — to our AI provider, and we show the results to the people in that group.
To deliver purchases you make in an app.
To respond to your support requests.
To comply with law and to establish or defend legal claims.

We do not sell personal information, we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, and we do not use dietary, health-adjacent, or location data to target advertising.

What other people in your group can see

Coordination means sharing with the people you choose to plan with. When you join a group — for example, a table at a restaurant — the other members can see your display name, that you have joined, the group’s combined results, and any summaries generated for the group, which may mention you by name and describe your choices. They do not see your phone number, and they do not see which dietary restrictions are yours.

Third-party processors

We use a small number of vendors that process data under contract and only on our instructions:

Google Cloud Platform — application hosting, databases, and encrypted backups.
Firebase (Google LLC) — authentication (including sending sign-in codes by SMS and verifying that requests come from a real device or person), real-time data sync, push notifications via Firebase Cloud Messaging, Crashlytics for crash diagnostics, and Google Analytics for Firebase for aggregate product analytics.
Google Vertex AI (Google LLC, including Gemini models) — reading menu photos and writing AI-generated summaries. Under Google Cloud’s terms, the content we send is processed to return a result and is not used to train Google’s models.
PostHog (PostHog Inc.) — product analytics and session recordings on our websites and web apps, with typed text masked.
Apple (the App Store) — processes payments for in-app purchases. Apple’s own privacy policy governs the payment information you give it.
RevenueCat (RevenueCat, Inc.) — records and verifies in-app purchases so that what you bought is delivered to your account.

These providers may process data in the United States and other countries where they operate. Where transfers are subject to European or United Kingdom data-protection law, we rely on standard contractual clauses. A current list of subprocessors is available on request at hi@chesherie.com.

Retention

We keep account data for as long as your account is active. Plan content (including group votes and generated summaries) and dietary preferences are retained while they remain relevant to your account and are deleted with it. Purchase records may be kept longer where tax or accounting law requires. Deletion requests are honored within thirty days, after which data persists only in encrypted backups for up to ninety days before expiring. Precise location points are retained no longer than twelve months. Aggregate, de-identified analytics that cannot reasonably be linked to you may be kept indefinitely.

Your rights and deletion requests

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information, to withdraw consent, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to appeal a decision we make about your request. You can delete your account from within the app; you can also email hi@chesherie.com and we will verify and process the request. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights. Residents of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland may also lodge a complaint with their supervisory authority.

Children’s data

Our applications are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If we learn that a child under 13 has created an account, we delete it and the associated data. Where local law sets a higher age of digital consent, we apply that age instead. A parent or guardian who believes a child has provided information to us should contact hi@chesherie.com.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit with TLS and at rest by our hosting provider. Administrative access is limited to personnel who need it and is protected by multi-factor authentication. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes

We will post any changes to this policy on this page and update the effective date. Material changes will be announced in the app or by email before they take effect.
