Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 May 2025

Plain-English summary: We collect only what we need to run the platform. We never sell your data or your customers' data. Your subscriber list belongs to you. You can delete your account and all data at any time. We use industry-standard encryption and security practices.

1. Who We Are

DinePro ("we", "us", or "our") is a software-as-a-service platform based in Pakistan that provides digital menu, ordering, and marketing tools to restaurant businesses. Our registered contact email is support@dinepropk.com.

2. Information We Collect

  • Restaurant profile: Restaurant name, address, WhatsApp number, logo, and tagline.
  • Menu content: Dish names, descriptions, prices, photos, categories, and portion variants you add to your menu.
  • Email / SMTP credentials: If you connect your own email for marketing, we store your SMTP host, port, email address, and app password (encrypted at rest). We never use these credentials for any purpose other than sending your campaigns.
  • Google Business credentials: If you connect your Google Business Profile, we store OAuth access and refresh tokens to sync reviews and post replies on your behalf.
  • Billing: We do not store credit card numbers. Payments are handled by the restaurant owner directly and tracked as manual records by our admin.

  • Email address: If a customer voluntarily enters their email on the order success screen to receive exclusive deals from a restaurant. This is entirely optional.

  • Cloudinary — used to store and serve menu item photos. Cloudinary Privacy Policy

All third-party services we use are reputable, GDPR-compliant providers.

5. Customer Email Lists

When a diner enters their email address on the order success screen, that email is stored and associated with your restaurant — not shared with other restaurants or with DinePro for our own marketing.

Every marketing email sent through DinePro includes an unsubscribe link. When a customer unsubscribes, they are immediately removed from future campaigns for that restaurant. We honour all unsubscribe requests within seconds.

Restaurant owners are responsible for ensuring their email marketing complies with applicable laws (including PTA regulations in Pakistan and CAN-SPAM/GDPR where applicable).

6. Data Retention

  • Active accounts: All data is retained while your account is active.
  • Cancelled accounts: Upon request, we delete all personal data within 30 days of account closure.
  • Order data: Order records are kept for 12 months for analytics purposes, then anonymised.
  • Customer emails: Retained until the restaurant owner deletes them or the subscriber unsubscribes.
  • Google credentials: Deleted immediately when you disconnect your Google Business Profile from the dashboard.

7. Data Security

We take security seriously:

  • All data is transmitted over HTTPS/TLS encryption.
  • Passwords are hashed using industry-standard bcrypt (handled by Supabase Auth).
  • SMTP passwords and OAuth tokens are stored encrypted at rest.
  • Database access is restricted by Row Level Security (RLS) — each restaurant can only access their own data.
  • Service-role database keys are never exposed to the client or end-users.

No system is 100% secure. In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you within 72 hours of becoming aware of it.

8. Your Rights

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Correct inaccurate data — you can update most information directly in your dashboard Settings.
  • Delete your account and all associated data — contact us at support@dinepropk.com.
  • Export your data (subscriber list, menu, orders) — available from the dashboard.
  • Withdraw consent for marketing at any time by disconnecting email or Google integrations.
