Privacy Policy

Overview

FSA Food Hygiene Ratings is developed by Toby Jones. It's free and supported by ads from Google AdMob. It has no accounts and no analytics of its own, and it doesn't connect to any server of ours.

Location

If you allow it, your location is used to find places near you. To do that, your approximate position is sent to the Food Standards Agency's public ratings service, along with any search you type. We never see or store it. You can say no and still search by name.

Other services

• Food Standards Agency: rating data is fetched from the FSA's public API. See the FSA's own privacy notice for how they handle requests.
• Apple Maps: maps and directions are provided by Apple.
• Websites and calls: opening a business's website or calling it hands you over to Safari or the Phone app.

Advertising

FSA Food Hygiene Ratings shows ads from Google AdMob. To show and measure ads, Google's software on your iPhone collects some information and sends it to Google:

• your IP address and approximate location derived from it
• device details such as model, operating system and language
• how you interact with ads (views and taps), and crash data from the ad software
• your device's advertising identifier, only if you allow tracking

Your choices:

• Allow tracking. The app asks once, using Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. If you allow it, Google may use your advertising identifier to show ads that suit you better and to measure them across apps and websites. If you ask the app not to track, ads still show but aren't personalised that way. Change it any time in Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking.
• Consent (UK and EU). Where the law requires it, the app shows Google's consent form before any ads load.

Google's use of this information is covered by Google's Privacy Policy and how Google uses information from apps that use its services.

What we collect

Nothing. We don't sell your information or share it with data brokers. Apart from the ads described above, nothing about you is shared with third parties for advertising.
