Overview

Dish Duel ("the App") is a restaurant discovery game that helps you pick where to eat. This policy explains what data the App collects and how it is used.

Data we collect

Location data

The App requests your device’s precise location (GPS) to find nearby restaurants. Your location is:

• Sent to the Google Places API to search for restaurants near you.
• Used locally to display a map and calculate distances.
• Not stored on any server we operate.
• Not shared with any third party beyond Google Places API requests.

Location access is optional. If you deny location permission, the App will display an error screen and will not function, but no data is collected.

Map tiles

The App loads map tiles from MapTiler. When tiles are requested, MapTiler receives the geographic area being viewed. See MapTiler’s Privacy Policy for details:

No account or personal information

The App does not require an account and does not collect your name, email, or other personal identifiers.
