Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 29, 2026 · Applies to the Eat ABQ Android application

Osterberg Apps LLC ("we," "us," or "our") built the Eat ABQ app as a free app. This page explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly

• Favorites & notes — restaurants you heart and any personal notes you write are stored only on your device. We never transmit this data to our servers.
• App settings — your theme, filter preferences, and wheel category choices are stored locally in the app's shared preferences.

Information collected automatically (with your consent)

When you opt in to analytics during onboarding, we collect anonymous usage data via Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics:

• App events (wheel spins, screen views, restaurant navigations, filter usage)
• Crash reports and diagnostic information to help us fix bugs
• Device type, OS version, and app version

No personally identifiable information (name, email, phone number, or precise location) is linked to these events. You can withdraw consent at any time in Settings → Privacy & Analytics.

Advertising

Eat ABQ displays banner ads served by Google AdMob. AdMob may use device identifiers and general location (country/region) to serve contextually relevant ads. You can opt out of personalized ads via your Android device settings under Privacy → Ads. See Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

2. Location Data

If you grant location permission, the app uses your device's location only to calculate approximate distances to restaurants. Location data is processed entirely on-device and is never sent to our servers.

3. Restaurant Data

All restaurant listings are bundled with the app or loaded from local assets. No restaurant data is fetched from the internet at runtime — the app works completely offline.

4. Third-Party Services

The following third-party services may process data according to their own privacy policies:

• Firebase Analytics & Crashlytics (Google LLC)
• Google AdMob (Google LLC)

5. Data Retention & Deletion

Local data (favorites, notes, settings) is deleted when you uninstall the app. Anonymous analytics data retained by Firebase follows Google's standard retention periods. To request deletion of any analytics data associated with your device, contact us at the address below.

6. Children's Privacy

Eat ABQ is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
