Flash Grüb™ Inc. (“Flash Grüb,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a Delaware corporation.
This Privacy Policy applies to all users of Flash Grüb, including participants in early access or pilot experiences in New York State, and describes how we collect, use, and protect personal information.
This policy covers users in early access or pilot experiences in New York State. It does not apply to users after the public launch.
We collect information only if voluntarily provided:
Contact Information: Name, email, phone number (for early access users only)
Platform Usage Information: User type (business or buyer), surplus food preferences
Technical Information: IP address, device/browser type, limited app usage analytics
Analytics: Usage patterns, feature interactions, and crash reporting
During early access, the Service is available on iOS only, and some data may be stored temporarily in development or test environments. At full launch, user data will be stored securely on cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS, Firebase) with encryption and access controls, applicable to all supported platforms, including iOS, Android, and web.
We use analytics tools, including Firebase, to help us understand how the app is used, improve features, and monitor performance. These tools may collect technical information such as device type, IP address, app interactions, and crash reports.
Users are assigned an anonymous ID for analytics and reporting purposes. This ID is separate from login credentials and cannot be used to identify an individual. Login credentials remain securely stored and protected.
Our website is for informational purposes only and does not collect personal data or process payments.
We do not use these tools or data to track personal information for marketing purposes, and we do not sell your personal information. For operational or analytical purposes, we may share aggregated or anonymized behavioral data, which cannot be linked back to individual users.
Sensitive Data: We do not collect sensitive personal data, real credit card information, or precise geolocation at this stage.
Collected data is used to:
Facilitate and improve the early access experience
Verify eligibility (e.g., business EIN verification)
Communicate updates, gather feedback, and troubleshoot issues
Ensure safety, integrity, and compliance of our platform
Support secure login via Face ID or QR/barcode scanning (early access users only)
We do not sell your data or use it for advertising purposes.
Consent: By participating in the early access program, users consent to the collection and use of their information as described in this Privacy Policy.
Flash Grüb acts solely as a technology platform connecting users and businesses:
We do not prepare, handle, or deliver food, and have no control over the quality, safety,
or suitability of products or services.
Users and businesses engage directly. Flash Grüb is not liable for any claims,
damages, losses, or disputes arising from these transactions.
All payments in early access are processed via Stripe using sandbox/test credentials:
Flash Grüb does not store or access real credit card information.
Users agree to Stripe’s Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Security Guidelines.
Full live payment processing will be implemented with the same security and fraud prevention protections applied across the platform.
We may share limited data only for operational or legal purposes:
Service Providers: Cloud hosting, authentication, verification tools under
confidentiality agreements
Legal Authorities: Only if required by law
Internal Advisors / Collaborators: For product development or operational evaluation
Data is never shared with advertisers or external third parties for promotional purposes.
Information is stored in the U.S. using secure third-party infrastructure (e.g., AWS, Firebase). Standard safeguards are implemented, and reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards protect collected information, though no system is completely secure.
Early access users may:
Access & Correct: Request access to or correction of personal data
Delete: Permanently delete accounts and associated data via app controls
Withdraw: Exit the early access program at any time
