Flipdish Privacy Policy



This Privacy Policy covers the services provided by Flipdish Limited trading as Flipdish (“Flipdish”, “we”, “us” or “our”). Flipdish is incorporated in Ireland with company registration number 555703 and having its registered address at First Floor Heron House, Corrig Road, Sandyford Business Park, Dublin 18, D18 Y2X6, Ireland. This Privacy Policy provides details of the way in which we process personal data in line with our obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation (No. 2016/679) (“GDPR”), the Data Protection Act 2018 and any other laws which apply to us in relation to the processing of personal data (collectively referred to as “Data Protection Laws”). In this Privacy Policy, “controller”, “personal data” and “process” (and its derivatives) have the meanings given to those terms in Data Protection Laws.

Personal data generally means information that can be used to individually identify a person, and processing generally covers actions that can be performed in connection with data such as collection, use, storage and disclosure. Flipdish will be the controller of your personal data processed in connection with our services. Flipdish and the restaurants who operate on the Flipdish Platform (“Restaurant” or “Restaurants”) are joint controllers in respect of any personal data that is processed for placing and completing orders made with a Restaurant via the Flipdish Platform. If you are a customer of a Restaurant and have queries how your personal data is processed by the Restaurant or wish to address your rights, please contact the Restaurant.

The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to explain Flipdish’s data processing activities, including how and why we process personal data. In addition, this Privacy Policy outlines our duties and responsibilities regarding the protection of such personal data. The manner in which we process personal data will evolve over time and we will update this Policy from time to time to reflect changing practices.

We do not share any personally identifying data with third parties and will not disclose your personal data to any other party except as set out in this policy. Flipdish may be required to disclose personal data in some scenarios e.g. when you violate our terms and conditions or other policies. Flipdish may disclose such personal data, at our sole discretion, if we believe it necessary or appropriate in connection with investigation of fraud, IP infringement, piracy, or other unlawful activity.
