Privacy Policy

Lemon Lime Canteen · IUBAT — International University of Business Agriculture and Technology · Last updated 3 October 2026

This policy covers the Lemon Lime — IUBAT Canteen Android app (info.iubat.lemonlime) and the website at cafe.iubat.info.

The app is published on Google Play by the developer elaichix, who built and maintains it for the Lemon Lime canteen at IUBAT. The canteen runs the service for IUBAT students and staff. In this policy, “we” means elaichix and the canteen together.

What we hold, and why

InformationWhy we have it
Your name and ID number Supplied by the university's own student and employee records so the canteen can recognise you. You do not enter these; they are already on file when you first activate your account.
Your email address Only if the university's staff records hold one for you, or if you type your address — for example ID@iubat.edu — to sign in. It is used only to find your account. We never send marketing to it.
Your password Stored only as an irreversible cryptographic hash. Nobody at the canteen can read it, including the people who run this system.
Your orders What you ordered, what it cost and when, so the counter can serve you and you can see your own history.
Your wallet balance and transactions Top-ups made at the counter and payments taken from the balance. This is your money, so we keep an accurate record of it.
Sign-in sessions A token that keeps you signed in. In the app it lasts up to 90 days from your last use, so you are not asked to sign in at every visit. It is cancelled when you sign out or your password is reset.
Failed sign-in attempts The network address an attempt came from, kept briefly, so that somebody guessing at passwords can be slowed down. This protects your account.
Crash reports (app only) If the app closes unexpectedly it keeps the technical error, the app version, your Android version and your phone's model, and sends them the next time you open it. This is how we find and fix faults. It contains no personal message, photo or file.

What we do not collect

The app does not ask for, and cannot see:

Who else sees it

Nobody outside the canteen. We do not sell your information, we do not share it with advertisers, and there is no third-party analytics or tracking in this app. Crash reports go to the university's own server — not to Google, Firebase or any outside company.

The only exception is a legal one: we would disclose information if IUBAT were required to by law.

How it is protected

Traffic between the app and cafe.iubat.info is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Passwords are stored hashed, never in readable form. Access to canteen records is limited to canteen staff accounts, and sensitive actions are logged.

How long we keep it

Your account and its order and wallet history are kept while you are at IUBAT, because they are the record of money you have paid in and spent. Sign-in attempt records are short-lived. Crash reports are kept in the server's log files, which are overwritten as they fill, within 12 months.

Your choices

Delete your account

You can ask for your Lemon Lime account to be closed and your personal data removed at any time. You do not need to uninstall the app first.

  1. Ask us — either email arafat@iubat.edu from your IUBAT address with the subject “Delete my Lemon Lime account” and your ID number, or ask at the canteen counter with your ID card. We check the request comes from you.
  2. Settle any balance. Money left in your wallet is refunded at the counter, and an unpaid tab must be paid, before the account is closed — otherwise closing it would erase money one of us owes the other.
  3. We close it within 30 days of your request and tell you when it is done.

What is deleted: your password, your email address and phone number, every sign-in session (you are signed out everywhere), and records of failed sign-in attempts. The account can no longer be signed in to.

What is kept, and why: your name and ID number, attached to your past orders, wallet transactions and any tab payments. These are the canteen's financial records of money paid and meals served, kept for up to 5 years for the canteen's accounts and then deleted. Crash reports already sent stay in the server's logs until they are overwritten, within 12 months.

Children

This app is for enrolled IUBAT students and staff. It is not directed at children and is not designed for them.
