Big Menu

Introduction

Big Menu ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you use the Big Menu mobile application (the "App").

Information We Collect

Menu Photos

When you scan or upload a menu photo:

• Photos are temporarily uploaded to our secure servers for processing
• Images are analyzed using AI to extract text and translate menu content
• Processed images are stored on our servers (Amazon S3) for your menu history
• You can delete individual menus at any time, which removes associated images

Location Data

With your permission, we collect GPS location data to:

• Save restaurant locations with your scanned menus
• Help you find restaurants you've visited previously
• Provide reverse geocoded addresses for saved locations

Note: Location access is optional. You can use the App without granting location permission. Location data can be disabled at any time in iOS Settings → Big Menu → Location.

Local Data Storage

The App stores data locally on your device:
