The terms “you” and “your” refer to the user of the Homefoodi Platform. The term “Services” refers to the local search and discovery services offered by Homefoodi on the Platform.
Please read this Policy before using the Homefoodi Platform or submitting any personal information to Homefoodi. This Policy is a part of and incorporated within, and is to be read along with, the Terms & Conditions.
1. Important Notice Regarding Our Business Model
Homefoodi operates as a local search and discovery platform that connects users with independent third-party Food Suppliers (such as Home Chefs, Tiffin Suppliers, and Caterers). We do not process orders, handle payments, or manage deliveries. Any communication, transaction, or arrangement for food services is made directly between you and the Food Supplier. This Policy governs the information you provide to Homefoodi; it does not cover any information you choose to share directly with Food Suppliers.
2. Your Consent
By using the Homefoodi Platform and the Services, you agree and consent to the collection, transfer, use, storage, disclosure, and sharing of your information as described and collected by us in accordance with this Policy. If you do not agree with the Policy, please do not use or access the Homefoodi Platform.

We may occasionally update this Policy and such changes will be posted on this page. If we make any significant changes, we will endeavour to provide you with reasonable notice, such as via a prominent notice on the Homefoodi Platform or to your email address on record. Your continued use of our Services after we publish a notice about our changes to this Policy shall constitute your consent to the updated Policy.
