Food delivery app privacy: what your orders reveal.
What food delivery apps in India know from your orders, address and location, how it can fuel marketing, and how to keep your data tighter.
The simple answer
Food delivery apps know a lot: your home and office addresses, your location, your order history, your timings and your payment patterns. Together this paints a detailed daily picture.
Much of this is needed to deliver food. The privacy question is how much is reused for marketing, profiling and partner sharing beyond the delivery itself.
