The short version
- There is no account. We never ask for your name, email, phone number or your child's details.
- The app has no ads, no analytics and no tracking, and we do not sell or share any data.
- Your settings and the saved menu stay on your phone.
- The only thing the app sends is a request for the school's lunch menu.
Who we are
Lunch Peek ("we", "us") is an independent app that shows a school's published lunch menu. It is not made by, affiliated with or endorsed by any school or food service provider. Questions about this policy: lunchpeek@ghysapp.com.
What the app keeps on your phone
To work, and to keep working offline, the app saves a few things in its own storage on your device:
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| The school you use (for example Birch Wathen Lenox) | To download the right menu |
| A copy of the latest menu | To show it offline, in the widget and in reminders |
| Your reminder choices: on or off, and the time | To schedule the reminders |
This stays on your phone. We cannot see it. Deleting the app deletes it.
What the app sends
To get the menu, the app asks our menu server for a school's lunch menu for a range of dates, for example "Birch Wathen Lenox, November 1 to December 31". The request contains no information about you or your child.
Like every website, our server, run by our hosting provider, writes a technical log of each request: the IP address, the date and time, the address requested and the type of device or browser. We use these logs only to keep the service running and to protect it from abuse. We do not use them to identify you, and the hosting provider deletes them after a limited period.
The app refreshes the menu when you open it, when you pull down to refresh, and from time to time in the background, so the widget and the reminders stay up to date.
Reminders and the widget
Reminders are scheduled by your phone itself. There is no push server and no notification token, so we cannot send you messages and do not know whether reminders are on. You can turn notifications off at any time in the app or in your phone's settings.
The home screen widget reads the menu already saved on your phone. It sends nothing.
Children
Lunch Peek is meant for parents and guardians. It collects no personal information from anyone, including children under 13, and it has no way to contact a child.
Other companies
The app contains no advertising, analytics or tracking code from other companies. When you download it, Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play) handle the download under their own privacy policies. If you chose, in your phone's settings, to share diagnostics with app developers, Apple or Google may send us anonymous crash reports, which we use only to fix problems.
This website
This website sets no cookies and uses no analytics. Its fonts and images are served from this site, not from other companies. Our server keeps the same short technical logs described above.
Your choices and rights
- To delete everything the app saved, delete the app.
- To stop reminders, turn them off in the app's Reminders tab or in your phone's notification settings.
- Because we do not collect personal information, there is nothing about you for us to export, correct or delete. If you have a question or a request anyway, write to us and we will answer.
- We do not sell or share personal information, as those terms are used in the California Consumer Privacy Act, and we do not use your data for any purpose beyond running Lunch Peek.
Changes to this policy
If the app ever needs to handle data differently, for example with an optional account, we will update this page and its effective date before the change reaches the app.
