Privacy Policy
Last updated 26 July 2026
SpoonTip (“the app”) is built and operated by Menuagentic. This policy explains what data the app and this website handle, who processes it, and how you control it.
What the app handles
Menu photos. When you scan a menu, your photo is sent over an encrypted connection to OpenAI for text recognition and translation. SpoonTip does not retain a copy of your photo on its servers. OpenAI processes the image under OpenAI’s API terms; OpenAI states that API content is not used to train their models.
Anonymous user identifier. On first launch the app generates an anonymous user ID via Supabase Auth. This ID is not linked to your name, email address, phone number, or any other contact information. It exists only to authorise read access to our shared dish catalog.
Approximate location (only if you allow it). If you grant location permission, the app uses your approximate location — typically your city — to look up restaurants near you via the Yelp API, and to suggest a likely local language. SpoonTip does not store this location on its servers. Yelp processes the request under Yelp’s own privacy policy.
Scan history. The translated menus you scan are stored on your device only. They are not transmitted to our servers and are not accessible to anyone else.
Voice input. Speech recognition runs on your device. Audio is not uploaded to our servers.
What this website handles
Waitlist email addresses. If you enter your email address to be notified at launch, we store that address, and the date you submitted it, in our Supabase database. We use it for exactly one thing: a single email when the app is released. We do not add you to a marketing list, and we do not share the address. Ask us at any time to remove it and we will.
No analytics or tracking. This website sets no cookies, embeds no third-party analytics, and loads no fonts, scripts, or images from third-party servers. There is nothing here that follows you off the page.
What we do not do
- We do not track you across apps or websites.
- We do not show ads.
- We do not sell or share your data for advertising.
- We do not use analytics SDKs that profile your identity.
