Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 1, 2025

1. Information We Collect

When you create a Vittles account, we collect your name, .edu email address, university affiliation, and a profile photo (optional). When you use the platform, we also collect transaction data, location information (only while the app is in use), and usage analytics.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve Vittles
• Verify your .edu email and university affiliation
• Process meal-swipe transactions and payments
• Send you notifications about swipes, messages, and updates
• Ensure safety and prevent fraud
• Analyze usage patterns to improve the experience

3. Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with:

• Other users: Your name, profile photo, rating, and university are visible to other Vittles users on your campus.
• Payment processors: Stripe processes payments on our behalf and receives necessary transaction data.
• Service providers: We use analytics and infrastructure providers who process data on our behalf under strict confidentiality agreements.

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest, secure authentication, and regular security audits. Payment information is handled entirely by Stripe and never stored on our servers.

5. Your Rights

You can:

• Access, update, or delete your account data at any time
• Opt out of non-essential notifications
• Request a copy of your data
• Delete your account and all associated data
