Privacy Policy

Where Do They Eat (“we”, “us”) runs wheredotheyeat.app, a map for finding restaurants by who eats there. This policy explains what we collect, why, who helps us run the service, and the choices you have. Questions: hello@wheredotheyeat.app.

What we collect

• Your account. Your email address and a random account id. If you sign in with Google, we also receive the name and profile picture on your Google account. We keep your trial and membership status.
• What you post. Votes and reviews you leave on restaurants, linked to your account.
• How you use the site. Pages you view, searches, filters and buttons you tap, the device and browser you use, and an approximate location (city or country) worked out from your IP address. We may record sessions to see where the site is confusing; everything you type is hidden in those recordings.
• Errors. When something breaks, we record technical details about the error, your browser, and your account id so we can fix it.
• Your location, only if you ask. The “your location” button uses your device’s location in your browser to move the map. We don’t store it. Searching the map sends us the area you are looking at.

How we use it

• To sign you in, run your trial or membership, and show you restaurants.
• To check reviews for abuse before they are published.
• To find and fix bugs, and to understand which parts of the site help people.
• To send you sign-in codes and messages about your account.

We don’t sell your data, and we don’t use it for advertising. Analytics and error tools know you only by your account id, never your email or name.

Who helps us run the service

These companies process data for us, only to provide their service:

• Supabase: database and sign-in.
• Vercel: hosting the website.
• Resend: sending sign-in code emails.
• PostHog: usage analytics and session recordings.
• Sentry: error reports.
• OpenAI: checking the text of reviews for abuse before they are published.
• Google: only if you choose to sign in with Google.
• OpenFreeMap: the map images your browser loads.

Cookies and similar storage

We use cookies to keep you signed in, and PostHog stores a random id in your browser to tell visits apart. We don’t use advertising cookies. If your browser sends a Do Not Track signal, we don’t record analytics for you.

How long we keep it

We keep your account and what you post until you delete your account. Analytics, recordings and error reports are kept for a limited time by the services above and then deleted.

Your choices

You can ask us for a copy of your data, to correct it, or to delete your account and everything linked to it. Email hello@wheredotheyeat.app from the address on your account and we will reply within 30 days.

Children

Where Do They Eat is not meant for children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their data.

Changes

If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top. If a change matters, we will tell you on the site or by email.
