Cookies and Web Beacons
We utilize “cookies” to optimize and improve your experience with our Service. A “cookie” is a small piece of data that is stored on a user’s computer, acting as an anonymous unique identifier, enabling the website to recognize future visits from that user’s computer. We employ tracking cookies to analyze user behavior on our site. This information allows us to recognize you as a returning user, offer personalized webpage content and information, and enhance your overall experience with our Service.
While most browsers automatically accept cookies, you have the option to decline them if your browser settings allow. However, please note that opting out of cookies may impact your ability to fully utilize the features of our Service, such as logging into your account or accessing certain functionalities.
In addition to cookies, we may utilize “web beacons” to compile tracking information related to our email campaigns. A “web beacon,” also known as a “gif,” is an electronic image that may be embedded on website pages or within emails to deliver cookies, track visits, and compile statistics on usage and campaign effectiveness. The tracking data collected through web beacons is aggregated and anonymized, ensuring individual user identities remain protected.

We may use the information you provide us about your business, such as address, phone numbers, hours of operations, and menu content to supplement or improve the content we make available through our Service, including our website, widgets, and/or API. We may also share that information with our partners so that the information can be updated on such partner sites and for other marketing and related purposes.
Service Providers
We may use third-party service providers (e.g., for our web hosting, network, hardware, software, storage, and/or payment processing needs) to manage one of more aspects of our business operations, including the processing or handling of personal information. When we do use an outside company, we use contractual or other appropriate means to ensure that personal information is used in a manner that is consistent with this Policy. By registering for the Service and providing your credit or debit card details to us, you permit us to use your provided credit or debit card information to bill you for the Service subscription you purchase. Additionally, by providing your credit card details to us, you consent to and authorize us to provide your credit card details to payment processors and financial institutions necessary to process your payment for the Service.
Legal Disclosure and Business Transfers
We may disclose your personal information as permitted or required by law without your consent, if we are compelled to release information by a court of law or other person or entity with jurisdiction to compel production of such information (e.g., subpoenas). Additionally, if we have reasonable grounds to believe information could be useful in the investigation or prevention of improper or unlawful activity (i.e., suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of our Terms of Service), we may disclose information voluntarily to law enforcement agencies or other appropriate investigative bodies without obtaining your consent before doing so.
Realaddis.com may sell transfer or otherwise share some or all of its assets, including your personal information, in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets or in the event of bankruptcy.
Links to Third-Party Websites
Our Service contains links to other websites. If you choose to visit an advertiser by “clicking on” a banner ad or other type of advertisement, or click on another third-party link, you will be directed to that third party’s website. The fact that we link to a website or present a banner ad or other type of advertisement is not an endorsement, authorization or representation of our affiliation with that third party, nor is it an endorsement of their privacy or information security policies or practices. We do not exercise control over third party websites. These other websites may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect data or solicit personal information from you. Other websites follow different rules regarding the use or disclosure of the personal information you submit to them. We encourage you to read the privacy policies or statements of the other websites you visit.
Securing Your Personal Info
Realaddis.com endeavors to safeguard personal information to ensure that such information is kept private. However, unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, the inherent insecurity of the Internet and other factors, may compromise the security of your personal information at any time. Therefore we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information.
International Users
If you are located outside of Ethiopia, please note that the Service is hosted in Ethiopia. Therefore, your information may be processed and stored in Ethiopia. As a result, Ethiopia federal and state governments, courts, or law enforcement or regulatory agencies may be able to obtain disclosure of your information through laws applicable in the Ethiopia. Your use of this Service or your submission of any personal information to us will constitute your consent to the transfer of your personal information outside of your home country, including the Ethiopia, which may provide for different data protection rules than in your country.
