Privacy policy
This Privacy Policy explains how PardEats ("PardEats," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website at pardeats.com (the "Site") or join our waitlist or newsletter. By using the Site or submitting your information, you agree to the practices described here.
Who We Are
PardEats is a student project created by students at Lafayette College. We are building a nutrition and dining recommendation tool for college students and athletes. At this stage we are not an incorporated company, and the Site is operated by the project's student founders. We intend to incorporate in the future, and this policy will be updated at that time.
Information We Collect
Right now, the Site only collects what you choose to give us. That includes:
- Email address. When you join our waitlist or newsletter, we collect the email address you submit (typically a Lafayette College email).
- Consent choices. Whether you agreed to join the waitlist and whether you opted into the newsletter.
- Basic submission details. The date and time of your submission and which page it came from.
We do not currently collect health data, wearable data, dining data, location, or payment information through the Site. When the PardEats product launches, it is expected to collect additional information such as dietary preferences, fitness and recovery data, and connected wearable data. When that happens, this policy will be updated to describe those practices, and you will be asked to agree to the updated terms before that data is collected.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information you provide to:
- Add you to the waitlist and notify you when PardEats becomes available.
- Send you newsletter updates, if you opted in.
- Understand interest in the product and improve what we are building.
We do not sell your information. We do not share it with advertisers, and we do not use it for behavioral advertising.
How Your Information Is Stored
Waitlist and newsletter information is currently stored in a private spreadsheet accessible only to the PardEats founding team. We take reasonable steps to keep it secure, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Who Can Access Your Information
Access is limited to the PardEats founding team. We do not give your information to outside parties except where required by law, or where a service we rely on to operate the Site (such as our hosting or form provider) processes it on our behalf.
Your Choices
- Unsubscribe. You can ask to be removed from the newsletter or waitlist at any time by emailing us.
- Access and deletion. You can ask what information we hold about you and request that we delete it.
To make any of these requests, email info@pardeats.com.
Students and Minors
The Site is intended for Lafayette College students. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. Because we handle student information, we aim to be careful and transparent, and we will continue to refine our practices as the project develops.
Changes to This Policy
Because PardEats is still in development, this policy will change. When we make a meaningful change, we will update the date above and, where appropriate, notify users who joined our waitlist or newsletter.
Status and Liability
PardEats is currently a student project and not an incorporated entity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the project and its founders are not liable for indirect or incidental harms arising from your use of the Site during this pre-incorporation period. If and when PardEats incorporates, the resulting company is not assuming liability for events, data handling, or conduct that occurred before its date of incorporation, except to the extent it expressly agrees to do so or as required by law.
