Your Taste Data Stays Yours

Most food apps want a dossier

For many discovery platforms, restaurant recommendations are the hook. The actual product is a tracking profile: where you walk, what you browse, and who you dine with, all packaged for ad networks. You end up trading a generic list of top-rated spots for invasive tracking you never explicitly agreed to.

Matching without selling your habits

Yulai collects only what is necessary to build your Food Fingerprint: flavor preferences, dietary requirements, budget comfort, and travel radius. Your location is referenced only to enforce your distance cap when searching for a table.

We do not sell your identity, and we do not use your dining habits for targeted ads. Restaurant partners only receive anonymized, city-level demand trends. A chef might see that local diners in Aachen are craving authentic Sichuan spice. They will never see that you asked for it.

What we track, and what you control

You define your baseline profile when you sign up. Over time, your saves, visits, likes, and skips help refine your recommendations.

You remain in control: you can adjust preferences at any time, export a copy of your data, or permanently delete your account through our account settings. For legal and technical specifics, our privacy policy lays out every detail in plain language.

Our privacy commitments

Zero data brokerage: your personal dining history and contact information are never for sale.

No restaurant dashboards for personal profiles: operators see neighborhood-wide trends, never individual diner palates.

Clean account deletion: when you close your account, your profile is purged according to our defined retention policy. No hidden shadow profiles.

Honest preferences lead to better meals. That only works when your profile exists to serve your appetite, not an ad auction. Keep your palate on your side of the table. Download Yulai and find your match.
