Privacy Policy

Village@51 has developed the "Village Food" app as a free service. This app is provided by Village@51 at no cost and is intended for use exclusively within Pacific Golf Estate, Sahastradhara Road, Usha Colony, Dehradun, Kulhan Karanpur, Uttarakhand, 248001. It is the responsibility of the customer (food buyer) to purchase food only from tenants or friends they trust, as the individuals preparing the food are not certified chefs and may not operate in a professional kitchen setup. Village@51 is not liable for any consequences arising from the consumption of the food. This app is not intended for commercial purposes. It serves as a community platform where friends can share food with others for a nominal token amount, which can be reciprocated when others cook food for them later.

App Check tokens returned from successful attestations are valid throughout their TTL duration, which cannot be longer than 7 days. App Check tokens are not retained by Firebase services.
