1. Scope of This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information that Omealo collects through the Services and in the course of our business. It does not apply to information that has been de-identified or aggregated so that it can no longer reasonably be used to identify an individual, or to business contact information used solely to communicate with an individual in relation to their employment, business or profession, except as required by applicable law. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of Restaurants or other third parties that we do not own or control, even if you access them through the Services.

Omealo has designated a Privacy Officer who is accountable for our compliance with this Privacy Policy and applicable privacy laws.Footnote 1 You may contact our Privacy Officer at [privacy@omealo.com] or at the mailing address in Section 17.

6. Automated Processing and Artificial Intelligence
The Services use automated technologies, including machine learning and other artificial intelligence technologies developed by Omealo or provided by third parties, to read and interpret Content such as menu images and text, and to generate Results based on the information and preferences you provide. Results are produced automatically and are not reviewed by a person before they are displayed. Where required by applicable law, you may request information about the personal information and principal factors used to generate a Result, request that such personal information be corrected, and submit your observations to a member of our team, by contacting our Privacy Officer.

We engage third-party service providers to perform functions on our behalf, such as cloud hosting and data storage, authentication, payment processing, mapping and location services, image and text recognition, artificial intelligence and machine learning, web content retrieval, analytics, advertising, email delivery, customer support and security. Service providers may access personal information only as needed to perform services for us and are required by contract to protect it.
- Restaurants and business partners. We may share de-identified or aggregated information, such as usage statistics and the categories of preferences used with a Restaurant's menu, with Restaurants and other business partners. We do not share information that identifies you with Restaurants unless you direct us to do so.

We may disclose personal information where we believe in good faith that it is necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law, a legal process or a request from a governmental authority; to enforce our agreements; to protect the rights, property or safety of Omealo, our users or others; or to detect, prevent or address fraud, security or technical issues.
- With your consent. We may disclose personal information for other purposes with your consent or at your direction.

8. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We and our service providers may use cookies, pixels, software development kits, local storage and similar technologies (collectively, "Cookies") to operate the Services, remember your settings, keep you signed in, understand how the Services are used, measure performance, and, on our website, deliver and measure advertising. Cookies may be essential, functional, analytics or advertising Cookies. Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent before using non-essential Cookies.
You can manage Cookies through your browser or device settings and, where available, through the cookie settings in the Services. Disabling certain Cookies may affect the functionality of the Services. To learn more about interest-based advertising and your choices, visit youradchoices.ca. Some browsers transmit "do not track" signals; because there is no common standard for interpreting them, we may not respond to them.
9. International Transfers
Omealo is based in Canada, and we and our service providers may store, access and process personal information in Canada, the United States and other jurisdictions. Personal information that is transferred outside your province or country may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is held, and may be accessible to the courts, law enforcement and national security authorities of that jurisdiction. Where required by applicable law, we assess the protection afforded to personal information before it is communicated outside your jurisdiction and implement contractual and other safeguards.
10. Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including to provide the Services, comply with our legal, tax, accounting and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements and protect the security of the Services. The retention period varies depending on the type of information and the purposes for which it is used. When personal information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to destroy, delete or de-identify it, subject to applicable law. Residual copies may remain in backups for a limited period, and we may retain de-identified or aggregated information indefinitely.
11. Security
We use administrative, technical and physical safeguards that we consider appropriate to the sensitivity of the personal information we hold, to protect it against loss, theft and unauthorized access, use, disclosure, copying or modification. However, no method of transmission over the internet or of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of any information. You are responsible for keeping your sign-in credentials confidential and for notifying us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Omealo is not responsible for unauthorized access to personal information resulting from circumstances beyond our reasonable control. If a breach of security safeguards involving your personal information creates a real risk of significant harm, we will notify you and the appropriate regulators as required by applicable law.

The Services may contain links to, or integrations with, websites, applications and services operated by third parties, including Restaurants, sign-in providers, app stores and payment processors.
