Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Fresh Map is a local food discovery platform operated by Ethan Bhageloe, based in Florida. If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, contact us at ethan.radjinder.bhageloe@gmail.com.

2. What Data We Collect

When you create an account:

• Your name and email address
• Your password (stored encrypted — we never see it in plaintext)
• Food preferences and vendor type interests you select during signup
• Whether you opted in to marketing emails

When you use Fresh Map:

• Search queries and filters you apply
• Vendor profiles you view
• Your approximate location, if you use the "Near Me" feature (browser geolocation — you must grant permission)

When you submit a vendor listing request:

• Business name, type, email, phone, address, website
• Food standards and tags you describe
• Your submission is stored and reviewed by our team before any listing goes live

When you submit an email on the homepage:

• Your email address

3. How We Use Your Data

• To create and manage your account
• To personalize your search results based on your food preferences
• To send you a weekly "What's Fresh" newsletter, if you opted in
• To notify you when new vendors join your area, if you signed up on the homepage
• To improve Fresh Map based on how people use it

4. Marketing Emails

If you opted in to marketing emails during signup, we may send you a weekly newsletter with new vendors, seasonal food news, and Fresh Map updates.

You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email, or by updating your preferences in your account settings. We will honor all unsubscribe requests promptly in compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act.

5. Who We Share Data With

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.

We use the following services to operate Fresh Map:

• Supabase — database and authentication (your data is stored on Supabase infrastructure)
• Vercel — website hosting
• Resend — transactional and marketing email delivery

These services receive only the data necessary to perform their functions and are contractually required to protect your information.

5a. Business Transfers

Fresh Map may be involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of some or all of its assets. In such cases, your personal data — including your name, email address, food preferences, and opt-in status — may be transferred to or acquired by the successor entity as part of that transaction.

We will notify you by email and/or a prominent notice on Fresh Map at least 30 days before your data becomes subject to a materially different privacy policy as a result of such a transaction. Your data will continue to be governed by the privacy policy in effect at the time of transfer until you are notified of any changes.

6. Location Data

If you use the "Near Me" search feature, your browser will request your device's location. We use this only to sort vendors by distance from your current position. We do not store your precise location. You can deny location access at any time through your browser settings.

7. Data Retention

We keep your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required by law to retain it.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your account and data
• Opt out of marketing emails at any time

To exercise any of these rights, email us at ethan.radjinder.bhageloe@gmail.com.

9. Children's Privacy

Fresh Map is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email or by posting a notice on Fresh Map. The effective date at the top of this page reflects when the policy was last updated.
