Zanspace ("the App", "we", "our", "us") is a food-safety and restaurant-management platform provided by Mobiki Ltd, a company registered in the United Kingdom. This Privacy Policy explains what information the Zanspace Android app (package com.zanspace.android), the Zanspace iOS app, and the web dashboard at app.zanspace.com collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and who we share it with.

The records you and your team create while using the App. Specifically:
Zanspace can clock staff in and out automatically by detecting a small Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) iBeacon installed at the workplace. To do this, the App requires the following operating-system permissions:
| Platform | Permission | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Android | ACCESS_FINE_LOCATIONACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION | Android classifies any BLE scan that may identify a location as a "location" use; granted alongside Bluetooth. |
| Android | ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION | So the workplace beacon can be detected when the App is closed or the phone is locked — staff are clocked in the moment they arrive, without having to open the App first. |
| Android | FOREGROUND_SERVICE_LOCATION | Required by Android 14+ for the foreground service that runs the BLE scan; a persistent notification ("Zanspace presence — Watching your workplace beacon") is shown while the scan is active. |
| iOS | Location When In Use Location Always | iOS routes iBeacon advertisements through CoreLocation rather than CoreBluetooth, so the Location permission is required to discover the beacon. "Always" enables the same automatic clock-in behaviour as on Android. |
What we collect when the feature is enabled:
ENTER_WORKPLACE event (with a timestamp) when the user's device first detects the workplace beacon.EXIT_WORKPLACE event (with a timestamp) when the device loses the beacon for long enough to be considered "left the premises".What we do not collect:
Opt-in. Automatic attendance is opt-in. Before the operating-system permission prompt appears, the App shows a prominent disclosure dialog explaining the feature. If you decline, the App continues to work and staff can still clock in and out manually. You can revoke the permission at any time in the device's system settings (Android: Settings → Apps → Zanspace → Permissions → Location; iOS: Settings → Privacy → Location Services → Zanspace).
Use restrictions. The location-derived data described above is used solely for the attendance feature. It is not used for advertising or marketing, is not sold or rented to anyone, and is not shared with third parties except as listed in Section 5.
The App uses Bluetooth to discover and read data from the food-safety hardware paired with your restaurant. Specifically:
The App does not scan for, store data from, or attempt to connect to Bluetooth devices that are not registered to your restaurant.
The App does not request microphone access.
If your restaurant subscribes to a paid plan, payment is handled by a third-party payment processor on our web dashboard. We do not receive or store your full card number; we only see subscription status, the last 4 digits of the card and the cardholder's name as needed to send receipts and manage the subscription.
The mobile apps themselves do not contain a third-party analytics SDK. The web dashboard uses PostHog to collect anonymised product-usage events (for example "user opened the Reports tab") so we can understand which features are used and prioritise improvements. PostHog events do not contain the contents of your operational records.
Some features of the App (for example, generating allergen menus or summarising a long week of records) may send the relevant record text to an AI processor to produce a result. Only the data you submit to that feature is sent; the AI processor does not receive your wider account data and is contractually prohibited from using your data to train its models.
We process personal data on the following legal bases:
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We share data only with the following service providers, strictly to operate the App:
| Provider | Purpose | Data shared |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud hosting (UK) | Storing and serving your records and the App backend. | All of the above, encrypted at rest. |
| Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google) | Delivering push notifications. | Device push token and the notification body. |
| PostHog (web only) | Anonymised product analytics on the web dashboard. | Anonymised event names; no record contents. |
| Stripe (paid plans) | Processing card payments on the web checkout. | Subscription metadata; we never receive your full card number. |
| WhatsApp Business API (optional) | If you enable WhatsApp delivery of alerts. | Phone number and message body of the alerts you opted in to. |
| AI processor | Generating allergen menus / summaries when you use those features. | Only the input you submit to the AI feature. |
| Authorities | Where required by law. | The minimum data necessary to comply. |
Operational records (checklists, hygiene logs, temperature logs, attendance, deliveries, training records) are retained for as long as your restaurant has an active account, plus a reasonable archival period afterwards, so that you can produce records covering past periods for a UK EHO inspection. You may request earlier deletion at any time (see Section 8). Diagnostic logs are retained for up to 90 days.
Zanspace's primary data hosting is in the United Kingdom. Some service providers (for example Google Firebase) may process data outside the UK / EEA. Where that happens, we rely on the Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent transfer mechanisms recognised under UK GDPR.
Under UK / EU GDPR you have the right to:
You can delete your account directly from the App: Settings → Delete account. This soft-deletes the account; full erasure follows our standard retention process. To exercise any other right, contact us at info@mobiki.uk.
Zanspace is a workplace tool intended for adults working in food-service businesses. The App is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can delete it.
We use HTTPS / TLS for all data in transit, encrypt data at rest where appropriate, store passwords as salted hashes only, and follow industry-standard practices for authentication and access control. Authentication tokens on mobile devices are stored in the platform secure keystore (Android Keystore / iOS Keychain). No system can be guaranteed completely secure; we encourage you to use a strong unique password and to log out from shared devices.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be highlighted in the App and on this page. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
