Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 2026
Gake Saves is an evolving MVP
Gake Saves Campus Edition is under active development. This policy describes how we handle information today, and we'll update it as the product grows.
Information we collect
From students, we collect what's needed to create and run your account: your name, university email address, and the university details you provide. When you subscribe to a restaurant's meal plan, we also collect the payment evidence you submit for the restaurant to verify (a reference number, amount, and payment date) and your subscription and meal-redemption history. If you use the wallet's budgeting tools, we also record your budgeting purposes, allocations, deposits, and payments.
From restaurant partners, we collect your business details, the settlement account information needed to pay you, and any logo, cover, or menu images you upload, along with the meal plans and payments your restaurant processes.
How we use it
We use your information to operate your account, verify your identity, apply your budgeting rules to every transaction, process and verify restaurant meal subscriptions and payments, and contact you about your account — for example, email verification and account notifications.
How we protect it
Your information is stored in a secured database and access is limited to what each part of the system needs to function. Sensitive changes, like updating a restaurant's settlement account, require administrator review before they take effect.
Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share the minimum necessary information with a restaurant to fulfil a subscription or payment you make with them — including the payment evidence you submit, which the restaurant reviews to verify it. As we integrate a licensed payment partner for deposits and settlements, information necessary to process those payments will be shared with that partner.
Technical and security information
We keep basic technical information tied to security-relevant account activity — such as IP address and browser/device information at login — for account security, fraud prevention, and our audit trail.
Your choices
You can review and update your profile information from your account settings.
For anything else — including questions about your data or a request to close your account — contact support@gakesaves.com.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes in a meaningful way, we'll update the date above and, where appropriate, let you know directly.
