Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 20, 2026

Just Biryani ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have — across our website justbiryani.art, our mobile apps for iOS and Android, and when you contact us by phone or text.

Information We Collect

We collect only what we need to take and hand over your order:

• Your details — name, phone number, and email address.
• Your order — the items, options, pickup time, and any note you add.
• Your account — in the app and at checkout, your phone number or email is used to sign you in with a one-time code, and your past orders are kept so you can reorder.

What We Do Not Collect

• We do not collect your location. The app does not use GPS or any location permission.
• The app contains no advertising or analytics trackers, and no third-party advertising SDK.
• We never see or store your full card number — payment is handled entirely by Square (see below).

Guest Checkout

When you check out as a guest, we collect your name and phone number to prepare and identify your order. Guest checkout drafts are deleted after 60 days.

Payments

Card payments are processed by Square. Your card details are sent directly to Square and are handled under Square's privacy policy. We receive only a confirmation and a receipt reference — never your card number.

How We Use Your Information

• Process, prepare, and hand over your orders
• Send transactional messages such as order confirmations, pickup details, and sign-in codes
• Answer your questions and provide customer service
• Keep our menu and service working correctly

Notifications

Order updates. If you allow notifications, we store a device notification token (an identifier supplied by Google's or Apple's push service) and a random app-installation ID so we can tell you when your order is ready or canceled. For guest orders, the token is linked to that order and the anonymous guest session. We delete the token when you sign out, turn notifications off, delete your account, or about 7 days after an order is completed. Devices not seen for 90 days are removed.

Offers and occasional reminders (optional). Marketing notifications are off by default and are sent only if you switch them on in the app under Account → Notifications. We record that choice (the wording version, when, and where you made it) so we can show your consent. You can switch them off at any time and it takes effect immediately. We send at most one marketing notification per 24 hours and two per 7 days, never between 9 PM and 11 AM Central Time, and not within 24 hours of your order. Allowing notifications in your phone's settings does not by itself opt you in to offers.

What we do not do. We do not use notification tokens for advertising, share them with other companies, or measure whether you opened a notification.

Advertising Measurement (website only)

Our website includes the Meta pixel so we can measure whether our Facebook and Instagram ads bring people in. It tells Meta when a page is opened, an item is added to a cart, checkout is opened, or an order is completed, along with the technical details any browser sends (such as IP address and browser type). Our mobile apps do not include the Meta pixel or any analytics tracker — this section applies to the website alone.

We use this only to measure our own ads. We do not upload your name, phone, or email to Meta, and we do not sell or hand over customer information for anyone else to market to you. You can opt out with your browser's tracking protection or an ad blocker, and control ad data in your Facebook or Instagram settings. Meta processes what it receives under its own privacy policy.

Data Retention

We keep your account details and order history for as long as your account is active. Completed order and payment records are kept for the period required by tax and accounting law. You can ask us to delete your data at any time — see below.

Deleting Your Account & Data

You can delete your account and personal data at any time:

• In the app, from Settings → Delete account; or
• On the web at justbiryani.art/delete-account; or
• By emailing Contact@justbiryani.art or calling (940) 279-0740.

We delete your name, phone, email, saved order history, any rewards balance, and sign-in records, normally within 30 days. We may keep a limited transaction record where the law requires it (for example for tax), and card records held by Square remain under Square's policy.

Children's Privacy

Our service is for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will remove it.

Service Providers

A few trusted companies process data on our behalf so we can run the business: Google Firebase (authentication, database, hosting, and Cloud Messaging for notifications) and Square (payments, orders, and loyalty — see Payments above). They process your information only to provide these services to us.

Data Sharing

We share information only with the service providers who help us run the business — our payment processor (Square), our app and notifications platform (Google Firebase), and our SMS provider — and only as needed to deliver your order. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information for anyone else's marketing.
