We believe your privacy is a right, not a privilege. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information Treats24 Pvt. Ltd. ("Treats24", "we", "us") collects when you visit treats24.com, use the Treats24 apps or talk to us, why we collect it, who it is shared with, and the choices you have.
Plain English first: Treats24 collects only what's needed to deliver your food, run our partner programme and improve your experience. We never sell your personal data to third parties.
1. Scope and Your Consent
This Policy applies to our website, our apps, the forms on our website and any conversation you have with our team (call, chat, email or WhatsApp). It should be read together with our Terms & Conditions and Cookie Policy.
By using Treats24, or by submitting a form on our website, you agree to the collection and use of your information as described here. Where the law needs your specific consent (for example, precise location or promotional messages), we ask for it separately. You can withdraw your consent at any time (see "Your Rights and Choices"), but some services may then stop working.
2. Information We Collect
Information you give us
- Account Information: Name, phone number, email address and password or one-time password (OTP) when you register or log in.
- Orders and Delivery: Delivery addresses, order history and any instructions you add. If you mention an allergy or dietary need in an instruction, we pass it to the restaurant only so it can prepare your order.
- Payment Information: Payments are processed by our payment partners. We receive payment status and limited details such as the payment method and a masked reference. We do not store full card numbers, CVV or UPI PIN.
- Website Forms: If you use the Contact form we collect your name, phone, email, location and message. If you register a restaurant we collect the restaurant name, owner name, phone, email, city, address, cuisine, outlet type, seating and any notes you add.
- Communications and Feedback: Messages, emails, WhatsApp chats and call records with our support team, plus ratings, reviews and survey answers.
Information collected automatically
- Device and Technical Data: Device type, operating system, app version, browser type and language, device identifiers and crash logs.
- Usage Data: Pages and screens visited, features used, search queries, time spent and the page you came from.
- Log Data: IP address (which also gives an approximate location) and date and time of each visit.
- Precise Location: Collected from your device only with your permission, to show nearby restaurants and complete delivery. You can switch this off in your device settings, but ordering may not work properly without it.
- Cookies and Similar Technologies: See our Cookie Policy.
Information from others
- Order and delivery status from restaurant and delivery partners, and payment status from payment providers.
- Basic profile details (such as name and email) if you choose to sign in with a third-party account.
- Analytics and measurement tools that help us understand how our website is used.
3. Restaurant and Delivery Partners
If you apply to become a restaurant or delivery partner, we collect the details needed to verify, onboard and pay you. Depending on the role this can include your business and owner details, FSSAI licence, GST and PAN details, bank account details for payouts, menu and photos, and, for delivery partners, a photo, ID proof, driving licence, vehicle details and your location while you are on a delivery.
A restaurant's business name, address and licence details may be shown to customers. While an order is on its way, the customer can see the delivery partner's name, photo, contact number and live location.
4. How We Use Your Information

- Process and deliver your orders accurately and on time.
- Send order confirmations, delivery updates, invoices and service notifications.

5. Information Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only in these limited circumstances:
- Restaurant Partners: Your name, delivery address, order details and any instructions go to the restaurant fulfilling your order. Restaurants are expected to use them only to prepare and hand over your order and are responsible for how they handle information once they have it.
- Delivery Partners: Your name, phone number and delivery location are shared with the delivery partner to complete your order.
- Payment Processors: Payment details go to our payment partners, who are required to follow industry security standards (PCI DSS).

- Group Companies and Business Transfers: With our affiliates for internal business purposes, and with a buyer or successor if Treats24 is merged, acquired or sells its business. Any successor must continue to protect your data as described here.
- Legal and Safety Reasons: With courts, police, regulators (such as food-safety or tax authorities) or other bodies when the law requires it, when we are responding to a valid legal request, or to prevent fraud, enforce our Terms or protect the safety of our users and the public.
- With Your Consent: In any other case, only after we tell you and you agree.
6. Where Your Data Is Stored
Your information is stored on secure servers and cloud storage run by our hosting and cloud providers. These servers may be in India or in other countries. When data is stored or processed outside India, we make sure the provider protects it with appropriate safeguards and in line with Indian law.
7. Cookies & Tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep our forms secure, remember your preferences and understand how our website is used. Our website currently uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics. You can control cookies through your browser or device settings. For the full list and your choices, see our Cookie Policy.
8. Marketing and Other Messages
- Service messages such as OTPs, order updates, refunds, security alerts and changes to our terms are necessary to run your account, so you cannot opt out of them while you use Treats24.
- Promotional messages by SMS, email, push notification or WhatsApp are sent only if you have agreed. You can stop them at any time using the unsubscribe link, your app settings, by replying STOP, or by emailing us. We send SMS through DLT-registered headers and templates as required by TRAI.

9. Reviews and Public Content
Ratings, reviews and comments you post may be visible to other users and to restaurants. Please do not include personal or sensitive details about yourself or anyone else. You can ask us to edit or remove your own posts.
10. Third-Party Links and Services
Our website and apps link to other services such as WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, X, YouTube, app stores and payment pages. Those services have their own privacy practices, and this Policy does not cover them. Please read their policies before sharing your information.
11. Children's Privacy
Treats24 is meant for people aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal data of anyone under 18. If you believe a child has given us their information, email help@treats24.com and we will delete it.
12. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information from unauthorised access, loss, alteration or misuse. These include:
- SSL/TLS encryption for data sent between your device and our servers.
- Secure, access-controlled storage, with staff access limited to those who need it.
- Regular security reviews and vulnerability checks.
- Payment data processed through PCI DSS-compliant partners.
No system is 100% secure, and you are responsible for keeping your login details private. Treats24 will never ask you for your OTP, card PIN, CVV or UPI PIN. Do not share them with anyone. If you suspect your account has been compromised, contact us immediately at help@treats24.com. If a personal data breach affects you, we will tell you and the authorities as the law requires.
13. Data Retention
We keep your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our services. Order history is kept for up to 3 years for tax and legal compliance. Enquiries and partner applications are kept only as long as needed to respond and for our records. When we no longer need your data, we delete or anonymise it. We may keep anonymised or aggregated data for analytics.
You may request deletion of your account at any time. After deletion, most personal data is removed within 30 days, except where the law requires us to keep it.
