USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Your Personal Information will enable us to provide you with access to parts of the Mobile Application or Website reserved for registered users, to supply the Service and provide feedback and answer your questions if you contact us. It will also enable us to bill you and enable us and/or a Restaurant with whom you have placed an Order to contact you where necessary concerning the Service. For example, we and/or the Restaurant may use your information to provide you with status updates or other information regarding your Order by e-mail, telephone, mobile or mobile messaging (e.g. SMS, MMS etc.) and to deliver an Order. Where you place an Order with a franchisee in a chain of restaurants, we may share your Personal Information and Order details/information with the master franchisor or other restaurants within the chain for their statistical and/or analytics purposes. We will also use and analyze the Personal Information we collect so that we can administer, support, improve and develop our business, for any other purpose notified to you whether statistical or analytical and to help us prevent fraud. Where appropriate, now and in the future you may have the ability to express your preferences around the use of your data as set out in this Privacy Policy and this may be exercised though your chosen method of using the Service, for example website, mobile, or any representation of the Mobile Application.
We may use your Personal Information to contact you for your views on the Service and to notify you occasionally about important changes or developments to the Mobile Application or the Service. You cannot opt out of receiving notifications of important changes or developments (eg. to this Privacy Policy or the Website Terms) unless you discontinue use of the Mobile Application or Service.
You agree that we may use your Personal Information to let you know about our other products and services that may be of interest to you including services that may be the subject of direct marketing. We may contact you to do so by telephone, SMS and email and if you use our mobile application, via push notification. It is always your choice whether to receive or to continue receiving to receive such marketing materials and updates from Mealo. We will not send you any direct marketing communications unless you have separately consented to receive such communications or such consent has been deemed to have been given under applicable law. If you no longer wish to receive direct marketing communications, you can opt-out using the unsubscribe mechanism in the marketing communication itself (e.g. by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of an email or by replying with the word “STOP” to an SMS). To manage push notifications, go to the settings page of your phone or tablet and change the push notification permission for the Mealo app. If you switch off in-app push notifications, you will no longer receive updates on your orders via push.

Personal Information shared with such third parties will be used in accordance with such third parties’ own privacy practices which Mealo does not have control over so you should review such privacy practices before agreeing to have your Personal Information shared with such third parties.
