1. Overview

Weaver ("we", "our", or "us") provides a lightweight digital menu and WhatsApp ordering platform for food and service businesses. This Privacy Policy outlines our transparent approach to collecting, using, and safeguarding information when you use our website, services, and digital menu links.

2. Information We Collect

  • Merchant Account Data: Name, business email, WhatsApp contact number, business address, and menu items/prices provided during onboarding or menu creation.
  • Customer Menu Views: Anonymized usage statistics (e.g. menu visits, popular item clicks) used solely to provide analytics to the merchant.
  • Order Data: Weaver does not process or store customer credit cards or banking details. When a customer orders, the cart contents are converted into a direct WhatsApp message sent directly from the customer’s WhatsApp to the merchant’s WhatsApp.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To format WhatsApp order links between customers and merchants.
  • To provide essential merchant dashboard analytics and QR code generation.
  • We do never sell your personal information or your customers' data to third-party ad networks.
