This Privacy Policy explains how Balfood Kitchen, operated by TARIQ BALTI HOUSE LIMITED, handles information when users interact with the app on their Android device. The app, available under the package name uk.co.balfood.takeaway.tarbal.route, is designed as a local-only takeaway meal planning workspace. It helps users sequence decisions across different phases and store, edit, and export staged plans directly on the device.
This policy applies to the information practices of the app itself. It describes the data that stays on your device, any actions you choose to take, and how the company can be contacted. The core workflow is local, meaning the app does not require an account and does not rely on cloud synchronisation.
About This Policy
This document describes the privacy practices for Balfood Kitchen, a local meal planning tool for Android. It applies to information processed through the app and clarifies the boundaries between what remains on your device and what is transmitted only when you choose to take action.
The app is provided by TARIQ BALTI HOUSE LIMITED, a company based in England. By reading this policy, you will understand how local content is managed, what the app does not do, and how to contact the company if needed.
Local App Data
Balfood Kitchen stores its core workflow data locally on your Android device. This includes saved meal plans and their variants, user-entered notes and priorities for each planning phase, and any locally generated content such as copied text summaries or shareable plan summaries that the app renders.
This local content is not automatically transmitted to the developer. It stays on your device unless you decide to export, copy, or share it using Android system actions. The app does not require you to create an account, register, or log in to use its planning features.
On-Device Storage
All planning data you create is stored only in the app's local storage on your device. The app does not send this information to any server controlled by the company, and there is no account-based history that would link your plans to an online profile.
You have control over this local data. You can delete individual plans or clear all app data through Android device settings, or by uninstalling the application. Remaining local files, such as exported summaries, will be stored wherever you choose to save them.
User-Initiated External Actions
The app may allow you to open external Android services when you choose to do so. These actions include opening a browser, composing an email, or launching maps. They are always initiated by you and are not automatic parts of the core planning workflow.
When you use these external services, they operate under their own privacy practices. For example, if you open the company website or email the company directly, the external service and the company may process the information you provide there in line with its own terms. The app itself does not control these external processes.
Export and Sharing
Balfood Kitchen lets you export or share locally generated summaries, such as text copies or shareable plan views, using Android system actions like the share sheet. This occurs only when you explicitly choose to export or share content.
Any content you export is transmitted only to the destination you select, such as a messaging app or a file storage service. The core workflow does not automatically share your plans with anyone, and the company does not receive these exports through the app.
Use Limits
This app is a local planning aid only. It is not a live ordering system, a delivery coordination tool, or an availability, stock, or promise system. The outputs are based on the information you enter and are intended for practical planning purposes only.
The app and its outputs are not a substitute for professional, legal, financial, insurance, or regulatory advice. You should not rely on the app as a source of authoritative guidance for any regulated decision.
Security
Local data is stored on your device, so its security largely depends on how you manage your device. You can help protect it by using device safeguards such as screen locks and by being careful when sharing exported content.
No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, and you remain responsible for the security of your own device and any exported files.
Your Rights
If you are located in the UK or the EEA, you may have rights under applicable data protection legislation, including rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal data, where those rights apply under law. These rights depend on whether the company processes your personal data at all.
For data that is stored locally in the app, you can manage or delete it directly on your device, as described in these terms. For any personal data you send to the company by email, you may contact the company to exercise your rights, and the company will respond in accordance with applicable law.
Children's Privacy
The app is intended for users aged 13 and above. It is not directed to children under 13, and the company does not knowingly collect personal data from children under that age.
If the company becomes aware that it has collected personal data from a child under 13, reasonable steps will be taken to delete or otherwise address such information. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided personal data may contact the company using the details below.
Policy Updates
This privacy policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the app or applicable law. When the policy is revised, the date at the top of this document will be updated.
The company will not provide individual notifications of changes, so you are encouraged to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how local data and user actions are handled.
