‘Personal information’ is any information or opinion about you, from which you are identified or can reasonably be identified. Our collection of your personal information will depend on our relationship with you, the circumstances of collection, and the Services you use. We only collect the information we need for the function or activity we are carrying out, or where otherwise permitted by law. We will collect personal information in the following circumstances:

Directly from you:

Using the App: The main way we collect personal information about you is when you give it to us.

App Registration: You provide personal information when you register for an account, place an order for the Services, access the App or join either our or a venue’s mailing list. The personal information you provide may include your name, telephone number, email address, and payment information.

Ordering: When you use the App to place an order from a Venue, we may ask you to provide information about yourself including your: name; email address; mobile number; and payment information (such as credit or debit card information).  We may store these details in the App if you have an account.  We will also collect and store your location because we will know what venue you are ordering, and retain historical ordering information to improve your user experience at that location and other locations in the future.

From discount, loyalty or other reward programs: We collect information from discount, loyalty or other reward programs you may be registered with where they are integrated with the me&u App.  We do this so that you can use or apply the benefits of those programs or accrue benefits through them via the App.

We may collect information including unique device identifiers, IP address, operating system version, device settings, time and duration of your App use, and search data.
