The Short Version
We do not collect, store, or sell your personal data. Period.
Chews (“the App”) is developed and operated by Dinnertime Labs LLC. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data the App does and does not collect.
Last updated: April 11, 2026
Data Storage
All app data is stored locally on your device using on-device storage. This includes:
- Your spin history
- Your favorite restaurants
- Your blacklisted restaurants
- Your filter preferences
- Your theme and display settings
This data never leaves your device. We cannot access it, and it is not transmitted to any server.
Location Data
The App requests your location solely to find restaurants near you. Your location is sent directly from your device to Google’s Places API to perform restaurant searches. Your location is not stored, logged, or transmitted to Dinnertime Labs or any other third party. You can also enter a city or zip code manually instead of sharing your location.
Third-Party Services
The App uses the following third-party services:
- Google Places API — to search for restaurants based on your selected categories and location. Google’s privacy policy applies to data processed by their service: https://policies.google.com/privacy
- RevenueCat — to manage optional subscriptions and in-app purchases. RevenueCat uses anonymous device identifiers and does not collect personal information. RevenueCat’s privacy policy: https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy
- Apple App Store / Google Play — to process optional subscriptions and donations. All payment information is handled entirely by Apple or Google. We never receive or store your payment details.
We do not use any analytics, tracking, or crash reporting services.
No Account Required
The App does not require you to create an account, sign in, or provide any personal information to use any feature. Optional subscriptions are managed through your Apple ID or Google Play account — we never ask for your email, name, or password.
Advertising
Chews is built to be ad-free. We sustain development through optional subscriptions and voluntary donations. We are committed to keeping the full app free and functional. If our costs ever require minimal, non-intrusive advertising on the free tier, we will always offer an ad-free experience through Chews Pro. The App does not currently use any advertising SDKs or tracking pixels.
No Data Selling
We do not sell, trade, or share any user data with third parties. We do not have any user data to sell.
In-App Purchases
The App offers optional subscriptions (Chews Pro) and voluntary donations (“tips”) processed through Apple’s App Store or Google Play. These transactions are handled entirely by Apple or Google. We do not receive or store any payment information. Subscription management, billing, and cancellation are handled through your device’s Settings.
Children’s Privacy
The App does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. The App does not require any personal information from any user of any age.
