Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 1, 2026
1. Introduction
reelmena (“we”, “our”, or “us”) is a product operated by esols (Kuwait) and accessible at reelmena.com (the “Platform”). reelmena is a digital video menu platform that enables restaurants to publish and share their menus as short autoplaying video reels. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, disclose, and safeguard information when you use our Platform, whether as a restaurant merchant (“Merchant”), a diner viewing a menu (“Visitor”), or a visitor to our marketing website. Merchants consent to these practices by accepting the Terms of Service during registration.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Merchant Information
- Account Information: Email address, password (hashed via Supabase Auth), business name (English and Arabic), business type, phone number, and business address
- Payment Information: Once billing is enabled, billing details will be processed securely through our third-party payment provider. We do not store credit card numbers on our servers
- Business Assets: Logo images, menu item videos and photos, item names, descriptions, prices, dietary tags, allergens, hours, and contact links uploaded to the Platform
- Onboarding Metadata: Invite tokens, timestamps, and choice of primary/secondary language for the published menu
2.2 Visitor Information
reelmena does not require Visitors (diners) to create accounts or provide personal information to view a Merchant's menu. When a Visitor scans a QR code or opens a menu URL, no personal data is collected from them. Only standard, non-identifying request metadata is processed (see Section 2.3).
2.3 Waitlist Information
Individuals who sign up on our pre-launch waitlist form provide their email address only. This is used solely to notify them when the Platform launches and is subject to the retention rules in Section 8.
2.4 Automatically Collected Information
- Usage Data: Pages viewed, features used, actions performed, and timestamps — used in aggregated, non-identifying form
- Device Information: IP address, browser type, operating system, and device identifiers (for security and abuse prevention)
- Cookies: Session cookies for Merchant authentication and essential platform functionality. Browser localStorage is used to remember your language preference (EN or AR). We do not use third-party tracking cookies
- Audit Logs: Records of administrative actions for security and compliance purposes
3. How We Use Your Information
- Provide, operate, and maintain the Platform and its features
- Create, publish, and serve digital video menus at each Merchant's dedicated subdomain (yourname.reelmena.com)
- Transcode and deliver uploaded videos through Cloudflare Stream (adaptive HLS)
- Generate downloadable QR codes for Merchants to distribute their menu URL
- Send service emails (account verification, password resets, invite links, publish confirmations)
- Once billing is enabled, process Merchant subscription payments through authorized payment providers
- Monitor platform security, detect fraud, and prevent abuse
- Generate anonymized, aggregated analytics for internal product improvement
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service
4. Non-Financial Service Disclaimer
reelmena is a digital menu publishing service only. The Platform does not process, store, or facilitate any monetary transactions, payments, currency exchanges, or financial transfers between any parties. reelmena does not act as a payment processor, electronic wallet, stored-value facility, money exchange, food-ordering marketplace, or financial institution of any kind. Prices displayed in a menu are for informational purposes; ordering and payment happen off-Platform between the Visitor and the Merchant directly. No Visitor payment or financial data is collected, processed, or stored by the Platform. For further details, see Section 3.1 of our Terms of Service.
5. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to third parties. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:
- Service Providers: Third-party services that help us operate the Platform, including Cloudflare Stream (video hosting and HLS delivery), Supabase (database, authentication, and image storage), and Vercel (web hosting and edge routing)
- Legal Requirements: When required by applicable law, regulation, court order, or governmental authority
- Safety and Protection: To protect the rights, property, or safety of reelmena, esols, our users, or the public
- Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with notice to affected users
6. Data Security
We implement commercially reasonable security measures including:
- Encryption of data in transit (TLS/SSL) and at rest
- Secure authentication with hashed passwords and session management
- Row-level security (RLS) policies on all tenant data tables ensuring per-tenant isolation
- Invite-token onboarding (single-use, expiring) so Merchant menu editing is gated
- Rate limiting to prevent abuse and brute-force attacks
- Audit logging of administrative and sensitive operations
Despite these measures, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Data Breach Notification
In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals, reelmena will:
- Notify the Communication and Information Technology Regulatory Authority (CITRA) of the State of Kuwait within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach
- Notify affected Merchants without undue delay, and no later than 72 hours after discovery, providing details of the nature of the breach, the categories and approximate number of affected individuals, the likely consequences, and the measures taken or proposed to mitigate the breach
- Maintain a record of all data breaches, including their effects and the remedial action taken
8. Data Retention
- Active Accounts: Data retained for the duration of the active subscription
- Cancelled Accounts: Data retained for 90 days after cancellation, then permanently deleted (including all uploaded videos and images)
- Waitlist Emails: Retained until launch notification is sent, then removed within 90 days if the person does not become a Merchant
- Audit Logs: Retained for 12 months for security and compliance
- Legal Holds: Data may be retained beyond these periods when required by law
9. Data Processing Roles
- reelmena acts as a Data Controller for Merchant account data, waitlist emails, and platform usage data
- reelmena does not process personal Visitor (diner) data — Visitors interact with a public menu URL and no accounts are created on their behalf
- Merchants are responsible for ensuring the content they publish (item names, descriptions, videos, images, contact links) complies with applicable laws in their jurisdiction, including advertising, food-labelling, and copyright law

11. Cookies and Tracking
