Nomblr Privacy Policy

Effective date: January 31, 2026

We respect your privacy and keep things clear, friendly, and transparent.

1. Overview

Nomblr helps you discover, rate, and share restaurants with your crew. This policy covers the Nomblr iOS app, Android app, and web app, along with the related services that power accounts, recommendations, and notifications.

2. Data we collect

A) Information you provide

  • Account data: email address, display name, and your user ID.
  • Profile details: the name you choose to show in the app.
  • User content: ratings, notes, recommendations, and crew/group activity (and any lists or tags you choose to create if that feature is available).
  • Preferences: dining priorities and filters you set in the app.
  • Communications: messages or emails you send to support.

B) Information collected automatically

  • Device/usage data: IP address (from network requests), device type, OS version, app version, and language. This can be used to infer an approximate location.
  • Push token: if you enable notifications, we store a device token so we can send you alerts.
  • Analytics events: we do not use a third-party analytics SDK in the app at this time.

C) Information from device permissions

  • Location: if you allow “When In Use” location, we access your current location to find nearby restaurants. We do not collect location in the background.
  • Camera: if you allow camera access, we use it to scan crew invite QR codes.
  • Notifications: if you opt in, we request permission to send push notifications.

3. How we collect data

  • Directly from you when you create an account, set preferences, or share ratings and recommendations.
  • Automatically when you use the app (basic device and usage information).
  • From device permissions you choose to enable (like location or camera).

4. How we use your information

  • Provide core features like ratings, crews, recommendations, and shared scorecards.
  • Personalize your experience based on your preferences.
  • Improve performance and reliability.
  • Respond to support requests.
  • Help keep Nomblr safe and enforce our Terms.

5. How we share your information

  • Service providers: we use trusted partners to run Nomblr:
    • Supabase for authentication and database hosting.
    • Firebase Cloud Messaging for push notifications.
    • Apple Sign In and Google Sign-In if you choose those login methods.
    • Restaurant search providers (Pelias, and crowd-sourced listings via Supabase) to find places near you.
  • Legal/safety: we may share information if required by law or to protect users and the service.
  • Business transfers: information may be transferred if Nomblr is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale.

We do not sell your personal information.

6. Tracking and advertising

We do not use data for cross-app tracking as defined by Apple, and we do not use the advertising identifier (IDFA).

7. Your choices and rights

  • Access and update: update your display name and preferences in the app.
  • Delete account: you can schedule deletion from Settings. We remove or anonymize your account data as part of the deletion process (see Retention below).
  • Location controls: manage access in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services.
  • Notifications: manage in iOS Settings > Notifications.
  • Camera: manage in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Camera.

8. Data retention

We keep your information as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the service. If you schedule account deletion, we remove or anonymize your data within a reasonable period (typically within 30 days), and backups may retain data for a limited time.

9. Security

We use HTTPS/TLS for data in transit and apply access controls to protect your information. No system is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Children’s privacy

Nomblr is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

11. International data transfers

Nomblr currently operates in North America. Your information may be processed in the United States or Canada, depending on where our service providers run their systems.

12. Changes to this policy

If we update this policy, we will post the new version here and update the effective date at the top.
