2.5 Mobile App Permissions

Our Android apps (MeetUrNeedBusiness, MeetUrNeedAdmin and MeetUrNeed) use the following on your device. Android asks your permission where it is required. None of them asks for your contacts or SMS, and none of them asks for device location.

  • 2.5.1 Wi-Fi and Network: To run the offline order hub on a business's Wi-Fi, to check if the internet is working, to switch to mobile data when Wi-Fi stops, and to keep working offline until the connection returns.
  • 2.5.2 Camera: To scan QR codes, supplier bills, product boxes and expiry dates, and to take photos you choose to upload. Only when you start it.
  • 2.5.3 Microphone: For voice calls, such as between a hotel guest and the front desk. Only during a call.
  • 2.5.4 Bluetooth and USB: To connect receipt and kitchen printers (MeetUrNeedBusiness).
  • 2.5.5 Notifications and Background Running: To alert you about orders and tasks. A phone set as the hub keeps running and restarts after the phone restarts.
  • 2.5.6 App Updates: To download new versions of the same app from meeturneed.com. You confirm before anything is installed.
  • 2.5.7 Advertising: The customer app (MeetUrNeed) includes Google's advertising library so that AdSense ads can show on our pages. Google may use your device's advertising ID, which you can reset or delete in your Android settings.
2.6 AI Reading of Photos and Documents

Some features use artificial intelligence (Google's Gemini service) to read a photo or document so you do not have to type it. A photo is sent only when you or your staff take or upload it for that feature, and only for that one read. Google processes it for us as a service provider.

  • 2.6.1 Business Licences: When a business uploads its licences (for example FSSAI, drug licence or school recognition), AI reads the licence type, number, name and expiry date to check them and to suggest the business's plan. A person at MeetUrNeed reviews the result. The owner's identity card (Aadhaar or other ID) and PAN card are never read by AI.
  • 2.6.2 Bills, Boxes and Cheques: When a business photographs a supplier bill, a product box or a cheque, AI reads the items, prices, batch and expiry dates, or the cheque details. The business checks the result before it is saved.
  • 2.6.3 Hotel Guest ID Cards: When a hotel scans a guest's ID card at check-in, AI reads the name, address and ID details to fill the guest register required by law. For Aadhaar cards, the first 8 of the 12 digits and the QR code are blacked out before the photo is saved. The photo is kept privately for the hotel only, not on any public page.
  • 2.6.4 Dish and Product Descriptions: AI writes short descriptions from an item's name. No personal data is sent.
  • 2.6.5 Your Choice: Every AI feature is optional. You can always type the details yourself instead.
2.7 Hotel Guests & Order Customers
  • 2.7.1 Hotel Guests: Name, phone, address and the ID details the law requires at check-in, the dates of stay and the room bill. The property sees them; they are not shown on any public page.
  • 2.7.2 Restaurant & Shop Orders: Name, phone number, the order, the kitchen note and how you paid. The restaurant or shop uses them for your order; the phone number also lets you track it.

3. Child & Minor Data Protection Standards

  • 3.1.1 Behavioral Profiling Ban: MeetUrNeed will never track, profile, or conduct behavioral monitoring of minors using school or canteen interfaces.
