Privacy Policy

Last updated: 24 June 2026. This policy explains what the DishDraw app and website (“DishDraw”, “we”) process and why. Controller: Ibrahim Gazaloglu, Prenzlauer Promenade 9, 13086 Berlin (see Impressum), contact ibrahimgazaloglu@outlook.com.

What we process

• Location (approximate & precise) — only when you use “near me”, to find restaurants around you. Processed on request; not stored to a profile.
• Camera / photos — when you scan a menu or submit a dish photo. Submitted photos are stored and, once approved, shown publicly.
• Contributor name — if you add it when submitting content.
• Device identifier & IP address — to prevent automated scraping/abuse and to keep the service available (security; rate-limiting).
• Restaurant & menu data — factual business information compiled from public sources and community contributions.

Legal bases (GDPR Art. 6)

Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) for camera/location access; legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) for security/abuse-prevention and operating a menu directory.

Sharing

We do not sell your data and show no ads. Hosting is provided by our server provider (in the EU). Approved restaurant/menu content is shown publicly.

Retention

Security logs are kept only as long as needed to prevent abuse. Submitted content remains until removed by you/the restaurant or by us.

Your rights

You may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or object to processing, and lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Contact ibrahimgazaloglu@outlook.com. Restaurants can also use the “For restaurants” section on the home page.
