This Privacy Policy explains how Cyber Optimal LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information when you use Remenu (the “App”). By using Remenu, you agree to the practices described here.

Summary

• No account required. You never sign up or log in to Remenu.
• No tracking. Remenu does not use IDFA, does not show ads, and does not share your data with third parties for advertising or any other purpose.
• No analytics or crash reporting. We do not collect usage statistics, crash logs, or device diagnostics.
• Your own private iCloud. Everything you save stays on your device and syncs only to your own private iCloud CloudKit database.
• You’re in control. You can edit or delete anything at any time.

Information We Collect

User Content You Create

The App stores the dining journal content you enter, including:

• Restaurants you save (name, address, location on the map)
• Visits you log (date, star rating, notes, amount spent, photos)
• Individual dishes you track (name, price, rating, notes, photos)
• Tags you create and assign to restaurants
• Whether a restaurant is marked as Visited or on your Bucket List

This content is stored locally on your device using SwiftData and, if iCloud sync is enabled, in your private CloudKit database. See Apple iCloud & CloudKit Sync below.

Photos

You may add photos to your visits and dishes. You can choose existing photos through the iOS system photo picker or take new photos with your camera. Photos you select are stored as part of your journal content on your device and, if iCloud sync is enabled, in your private iCloud.

Transient Information (Not Stored)

The following information is used only briefly in memory to provide features and is not stored by the App:

• Your current location. Used only while the App is open to show how far away nearby restaurants are in search results and to sort your Bucket List by distance. Location access is requested only “While Using the App” and is stopped when you leave the App. Your current location is never saved or synced.
• Search queries. When you search for restaurants, cafés, or bars, your query is sent to Apple’s MapKit service to return results. The query text itself is not stored by Remenu. See Apple MapKit & Apple Maps below.

How We Use Information

We use the information described above for the sole purpose of providing the App’s features to you: saving your restaurant journal, displaying it on a map, showing statistics, and syncing it across your devices through your private iCloud. We do not use your information for advertising, profiling, or any purpose beyond operating the App.

What We Don’t Do

• No account or sign-in. Remenu never asks you to create an account or log in.
• No advertising. The App contains no ads.
• No tracking. We do not use the advertising identifier (IDFA), do not request App Tracking Transparency permission, and do not engage in cross-app or cross-website tracking.
• No analytics, telemetry, or crash reporting. The App contains no third-party analytics or crash-reporting SDKs, and we do not collect usage or device diagnostics from you.
• No sharing with third parties. We do not share your data with any third party. The only recipients of any information are Apple (for iCloud sync, MapKit search, and Apple Maps hand-off) and yourself.
• No sale of data. We do not sell your data.

Apple iCloud & CloudKit Sync

If you are signed in to iCloud on your device, Remenu syncs your journal content to your private CloudKit database so it appears across your devices. This private database is tied to your Apple ID and is not accessible to us or to anyone else. Apple’s own privacy practices apply to iCloud. You can disable iCloud sync for Remenu at any time in iOS Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Account Storage or Show All (under “Apps Using iCloud”) and turning Remenu off. Disabling sync keeps your data only on the current device.

For details on how Apple handles iCloud data, see Apple’s Privacy Policy.

Apple MapKit & Apple Maps

Remenu uses Apple’s MapKit to search for nearby restaurants, cafés, and bars based on what you type and your approximate location. Your search queries and coarse location are sent to Apple as the MapKit service provider, not to us. The “Open in Maps” button hands a saved restaurant off to Apple Maps for directions; no data is sent to us in that hand-off. We do not collect or store the results of these queries beyond the restaurant content you choose to save.

For details on how Apple handles MapKit data, see Apple’s Privacy Policy.

Permissions

Camera

Remenu uses the camera only when you choose to take a photo to add to a visit or dish. When first used, iOS will show this message:

“Remenu uses the camera to add photos to your visits.”

You can revoke camera access or review it at any time in iOS Settings → Remenu.

Location

Remenu uses your location only while the App is open, to show how far away restaurants are in search results and to sort your Bucket List by distance. Location access is requested only “While Using the App” — never “Always.” When first used, iOS will show this message:

“Remenu uses your location to show how far away restaurants are in search results.”

Your current location is used transiently and is never stored or synced. You can revoke location access or review it at any time in iOS Settings → Remenu.

Data Retention & Deletion

You control all of your data in Remenu:

• Edit or delete in the App. You can edit or delete any restaurant, visit, dish, photo, or tag at any time. Deletions are removed from your private iCloud on the next sync, and from all your devices.
• Delete the App. Removing Remenu from your device deletes the local copy of your journal. Your iCloud copy remains in your private CloudKit database until you delete it from another device where Remenu is still installed, or disable Remenu’s iCloud access in iOS Settings.
• Turn off iCloud sync. Disabling Remenu’s iCloud access (see Apple iCloud & CloudKit Sync) stops further sync and leaves your data on each device locally.

Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, and delete the information you have entered in Remenu by using the App’s built-in editing and deletion features. You may disable iCloud sync at any time. For any other request regarding your data, email jonathan@cyberoptimal.com and we will respond promptly.

Third-Party Links

The “Open in Maps” feature hands a restaurant location off to Apple Maps. Remenu does not collect any information in that hand-off. Once you leave the App for Apple Maps, Apple’s privacy practices apply (see Apple’s Privacy Policy).

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we handle your information.
