Lemieux Inc. · New York, United States
Ube is operated by Lemieux Inc., a New York company in the United States ("Ube," "we," "us"). This policy describes how we handle personal information in the Ube app, website, and connected ChatGPT plugin. Contact us through Ube support for privacy questions or requests.
Account information includes the identifier and email supplied by your sign-in provider, your display name, handle, optional home city and profile details, and account settings. We receive restaurant searches, preferences you provide, saved restaurants, recommendations, research results, and sharing or social activity when you use those features. Support messages include the name, email, and message you submit. Our infrastructure providers may process IP addresses, request times, device or browser information, and diagnostic logs to deliver and protect the service. Please avoid including sensitive personal information in restaurant searches or support messages.
We use information to sign you in, maintain your account, research restaurants, personalize results, synchronize saved lists, provide sharing features you use, answer support requests, and investigate errors or abuse. Required account details enable account features; optional profile details and preferences help personalize your experience.
In the Ube app, restaurant queries and relevant taste context may be sent to OpenAI to generate and research recommendations. In the ChatGPT plugin, ChatGPT performs research using its available capabilities. When you connect Ube, the host can request your Ube profile, destination guidance, and saved lists through Ube tools; completed restaurant searches and their research can be saved to your private Ube search history, and restaurant snapshots are shared by link only when you request sharing. You can ask the host not to save a search. Adding individual restaurants to Recommended or Want to try still requires your request. The plugin does not give Ube general access to your entire ChatGPT account or chat history. Information returned to ChatGPT is also handled under OpenAI’s policies and your settings there. Other connected hosts, if used, have their own policies.
We do not sell personal information, share it for targeted advertising, use it for advertising, or use it to train our own AI models. This does not change the separate policies and settings of ChatGPT or other services you choose to use.
We use Supabase for account authentication and data storage, Netlify for website and plugin hosting and support-form processing, and email services to receive and answer support requests. Apple and Google process sign-in when you choose their services; Apple’s mapping services support restaurant lookup in the app. OpenAI supports AI research as described above. Providers process information needed for the functions they perform; their own policies also apply to services you use directly.
Your profile and restaurant-list activity can be visible to others through Ube’s social features and the applicable sharing settings. Private search history and personal research details are separate from public restaurant information. A list shared by link, including a link created with a plugin research result, is a separate snapshot: changing profile-sharing settings does not revoke that link. Anyone with an active shared link may view and forward it. Information you choose to make available to others may be copied outside Ube. We may also disclose information when necessary to comply with applicable law, respond to valid legal process, or protect users and the service.
Ube uses local device or browser storage to maintain sessions and preferences. The browser connection flow uses session storage for sign-in. Disconnecting Ube from ChatGPT does not delete your Ube account or data already returned to ChatGPT. It also does not remove copies or shared material held by others.
We retain account information and saved content to provide the account features you use. Account records and saved content have no automatic expiration and remain until you remove them or request account deletion. Support messages in Netlify and our support mailbox have no automatic expiration: we keep them until deletion is requested, unless a legal or security exception applies. Operational logs and rolling backups follow the retention settings of the relevant provider; they are not a permanent archive of your account. You can request access, correction, export, or deletion through support; we may need to verify that the request concerns your account. Some information may need to be retained for legal, security, or dispute-resolution purposes. Deleting information from active systems may not immediately remove it from backups. Supabase’s standard Pro daily-backup window is seven days. This backup window does not promise immediate erasure of every provider-held copy; independently retained security records and data sent to other services follow their applicable policies. We will explain any applicable retention exception when responding to a deletion request.
You can edit available profile fields, manage saved restaurants and sharing settings, and disconnect connected services. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your information, restrict or object to processing, withdraw consent where applicable, or complain to a privacy regulator. Send requests through support. We will handle requests under applicable law.
Our providers may process information in countries other than where you live. We use authentication, access controls, and encrypted network connections to help protect information. No service can guarantee absolute security. Contact support for information about the providers and safeguards relevant to your information. We handle applicable privacy requests based on the law where you live.
Ube is a general-audience service, not directed to children under 13. Users must meet the minimum age for using an online service in their location, and obtain a parent or guardian’s permission where required. If you believe a child has provided information contrary to these requirements, contact support so we can investigate and address it.
We may update this policy as Ube changes. The published policy will show its effective date. We will provide additional notice of material changes where required by law.
