Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 19, 2026

RistoAI ("we", "our", or "us") operates the RistoAI mobile application (also referred to as Aldo). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding data collection, usage, and security.

1. Information We Collect

When you use our application to manage your restaurant, we collect certain personal and business-related information to provide and improve our service:

  • Account Information: Your email address, full name, and passwords when you register or manage an account.
  • Restaurant Details: Name, location, and operating hours of your restaurant to configure the AI features correctly.
  • Microphone Data: The application requests permission to use your device's microphone. This permission is used exclusively for speech-to-text translation (allowing you to dictate voice commands to our chat feature) and is processed securely.
  • Subscription and Billing Data: Payment processing is handled by third-party processors (such as Stripe and RevenueCat). We do not store your full credit card details on our servers.
  • 2. How We Use Your Information

    We use the collected information for the following purposes:

  • To authenticate your identity and secure your restaurant account.
  • To generate tailored AI menu recommendations and calculate sales analytics.
  • To manage your subscription plans and handle transactions securely.
  • To send push notifications and email updates regarding low-stock alerts or sales summaries (if enabled in settings).
  • 3. Data Sharing and Third Parties

    We do not sell your personal data. We only share information with trusted third-party providers required to run the service:

  • Stripe: For secure payment gateway operations.
  • RevenueCat: For tracking app subscriptions and subscription states across Android and iOS devices.
  • Database & Cloud Hosting: To securely store user details and restaurant data.
  • 4. Device Permissions

    To provide specific features, our app requests the following native permissions on your mobile device:

  • Audio / Microphone Access: Required to capture voice inputs and transcribe them into text for the AI chat assistant.
  • Notifications: Used to send alerts, low-stock warnings, and daily summary statistics.
  • 5. Data Security and Deletion

    We implement industry-standard security measures to safeguard your information from unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. If you wish to delete your account or request the removal of all personal data, you can contact us at support@ristoai.com, and we will process your request within 30 days.
