MHG Connect
User Agreement & Privacy Notice
Meritage Hospitality Group Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company,” “we,” or “us”) respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This notice explains what information the MHG Connect mobile application (the “App”) collects, how it is used, and the terms under which you may use the App.
Authorized Use
The App is provided solely for Company employees and other authorized users, for legitimate business purposes. Your use of the App is subject to Company policies governing company systems and information, and your activity within the App may be logged and reviewed.
Information the App Collects
- Your work identity. When you sign in with your Company credentials, the App receives your name, work email address, job title, and restaurant assignments so it can show you the right stores, tasks, and approvals.
- Location. If you enable arrival alerts, the App uses your device’s location to detect when you arrive at a Company restaurant. Location is used only for this feature, and you can turn it off at any time in your device settings.
- Photos and submissions. Photos, notes, receipts, reports, and responses you submit through the App are stored and shared with the Company teams that handle them.
- Device and usage data. The App collects a device identifier, platform type, and technical log data (such as access times and features used) to operate the App, deliver notifications, and improve reliability.
- Biometrics. The App offers an optional Face ID / fingerprint lock. If you choose to enable it, biometric verification is performed entirely by your device’s operating system (such as Apple Face ID or Android fingerprint services). Your biometric identifiers and biometric information — including fingerprints, face geometry, and any related data — never leave your device and are never captured, collected, received, transmitted, stored, or possessed by the Company in any form. The App receives only a confirmation from your device that verification succeeded or failed. This feature is voluntary; you may decline to enable it or turn it off at any time, and declining does not affect your ability to use the App with your normal Company sign-in.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information above to operate the App’s features — task lists, approvals, alerts, reporting, and directory functions — to secure access to Company systems, and to maintain and improve the App.
How We Share Information
Information collected through the App is used within the Company and its affiliates and subsidiaries for business purposes. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with unaffiliated third parties except with service providers who support the App, or where disclosure is required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights or property of the Company.
Security and Retention
We employ administrative, physical, and electronic measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, and we retain it only as long as necessary for the purposes described here and to comply with applicable law.
Changes
We may update this notice from time to time. If we make material changes, you will be asked to review and accept the updated notice before continuing to use the App.
Your Agreement
By tapping “I Agree,” you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described in this notice. If you do not agree, do not use the App; contact your supervisor or the Help Desk with any questions.
