12. Customer Data Ownership

The Customer retains all ownership rights in its Customer Data.

Without limitation, Customer Data includes recipes, menu pricing, ingredient costs, inventory records, supplier pricing, purchasing history, food costing models, reports, custom dashboards, uploaded documents, notes, operational analyses, prompts and inputs submitted to AI Features, and all other information created, uploaded, synchronized, or maintained by the Customer through the Services.

Distributor sponsorship of a Subscription does not transfer ownership or control of Customer Data to the Distributor. Customer Data remains the exclusive property of the Customer regardless of who pays for the Subscription.

13. Licence to Process Customer Data

For the sole purpose of providing the Services, the Customer grants Menu Optics a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive licence to host, store, process, transmit, analyze, display, back up, synchronize, and otherwise use Customer Data only as reasonably necessary to:

Examples include average ingredient pricing, regional purchasing trends, food cost benchmarks, menu pricing benchmarks, inventory turnover statistics, purchasing trends, inflation analysis, category performance, operational insights, and platform usage statistics.

Menu Optics may use this anonymized information to improve the Services, develop new products and features, conduct research and analysis, create industry benchmarking tools, publish market insights, and improve system performance.

At no time shall Menu Optics publish or disclose information that reasonably identifies an individual Customer without that Customer's prior written consent.

15. Customer Feedback

Customers may voluntarily provide suggestions, ideas, recommendations, feature requests, comments, or other feedback regarding the Services.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Customer grants Menu Optics a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, incorporate, modify, and commercialize such feedback without compensation or obligation to the Customer.

Nothing in this section grants Menu Optics ownership of Customer Data.

16. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to protect the Confidential Information of the other using at least the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information, and in no event less than a commercially reasonable standard of care.

Confidential Information shall not be disclosed except to employees or contractors who require access to perform their duties, to approved service providers bound by confidentiality obligations, with the prior written consent of the disclosing party, or where disclosure is required by law.

The confidentiality obligations contained in this Agreement survive termination of the Services for a period of five (5) years, except that obligations relating to trade secrets and proprietary software shall survive for so long as such information remains confidential under applicable law.
