Privacy policy
What Friends of Foodie collects, why, and who can see it.
What we collect
Your name, email address and profile photo from sign-up. The bio you write. Your approximate location, either detected from your internet connection or the city or ZIP you type in. If you browse without an account, we use your connection's approximate location to sort the feed and don't save it. The listings, photos, messages, reviews and reports you post.
How we use it
To run the marketplace: show your listings to nearby neighbours, sort the feed by distance, deliver your messages, show ratings on cook profiles, and review reports. We don't sell your information and we don't show ads.
What other people see
Your display name, profile photo, bio, city, listings, reviews and member-since date. Your exact location and street address are never shown. Messages are visible only to the two people in the chat and, when a chat is reported, to moderators.
Who helps us run the site
Clerk handles sign-up and sign-in. Cloudflare hosts the site and stores the database, messages and photos. If you sign in with Google, Google shares your name, email and profile photo with us. If you type in a city or ZIP, we look it up in a built-in list of US ZIP codes; it isn't sent to anyone else.
Payments
We don't process payments. Anything you arrange with a cook or buyer, such as cash or Venmo, happens outside Friends of Foodie.
Deleting your account
You can delete your account at any time from your Account page. That permanently removes your profile, listings, photos, messages, reviews and saved items, and closes your sign-in.
