Munch a Lunch Report Downloader (Schools and Vendors), a Chrome extension Effective date: October 22, 2026

<aside> 💡

In short: the extension collects no data about you. It talks only to munchalunch.com, with your own login, and saves the reports on your computer. It has no analytics, no ads and no server of its own. Nobody, including the developer, receives your data.

Who we are

The extension is an independent tool made by a school hot lunch volunteer. It is not made, endorsed or supported by Munch a Lunch. It helps hot lunch coordinators and vendors download their Munch a Lunch reports as PDF files.

What the extension reads, and why

When you use it, the extension sends requests only to https://munchalunch.com, with the Munch a Lunch login that you already have in Chrome. It reads:

• Your account and schools (your email or name, your schools and your current school), to show who is logged in and to name the download folder after the school.
• Event dates and vendors (dates, event types, vendor names and IDs, order counts), to work out which reports to download.
• The report PDFs that you ask for. These reports can contain personal information about students, for example names, classes and lunch orders. The extension does not read or change their contents. It only checks that each file is a PDF and saves it.

If you have more than one school and you pick another school in the extension, it tells munchalunch.com to switch to that school, the same as the school switcher on the site.

The extension never asks for, sees or stores your Munch a Lunch password. It does not read your cookies; Chrome sends your login to munchalunch.com as it does for the site itself.

What the extension stores

• Your settings: report options, vendor groups, event types, time zone, the pause between downloads and the folder name. They are in Chrome's extension storage (chrome.storage.sync). If you turned on Chrome sync, Google keeps them with your Chrome profile, so they follow you to your other computers.
• The vendor list of your school (vendor names and IDs), on this computer only (chrome.storage.local).
• The downloaded files: the report PDFs and a receipt (receipt.csv, receipt.json) that lists the reports, vendors, dates, school name and file names. They go to your Downloads folder, like any download.

What the extension does not do

• It does not send any data to the developer or to any third party. It has no server of its own.
• It has no analytics, tracking, advertising or crash reporting.
• It does not sell, rent or share any data.
• It does not access any website other than munchalunch.com, and it does not run scripts in web pages.
