Draft: written from how the app works today and not yet reviewed by a lawyer. Have it reviewed before launch.
Sono Affamato lets you rate restaurants and the food you eat there and share it with friends. This page says what we keep and who else sees it.
What we store
- Your email address and password (held by our sign-in provider, Neon Auth), your username and display name.
- Your ratings: the place, the food, the score, and any notes, price, would-go-back answer, visit date and photos you add, with who you chose to share each one with.
- Your friends, requests, follows, blocks, saved places, recent searches, notifications and reports you send.
- Places you add yourself (name and map position).
Who can see your ratings
Each rating is public, friends-only or only you. You set a default in Settings and can change it per rating. Only-you ratings are never used for taste matches, rankings or feeds. If you block someone, neither of you sees the other's ratings.
Your location
We ask for your location only when you tap Rate now or Show my location. It is sent to our server once to find restaurants near you and is not stored. If you say no, everything else still works and you can search instead.
Photos
Photos are resized on our server and stored with Cloudflare. Their location data and other embedded details are removed before they are stored. You can upload up to 10 a day. Deleting a photo, a rating or your account deletes the stored file.
Other companies
- Google Places: what you type into place search, and your position for Rate now, are sent to Google to find restaurants. Google details such as address, hours and photos are shown only when you ask and are not kept by us.
- OpenFreeMap: the map tiles load from their servers, which sees your IP address and the area you view.
- Neon and Vercel host our database and app.
Your choices
- Delete your account in Settings. It removes your profile, ratings, photos, friendships and follows.
- Report anything that breaks the rules from a profile.
Age
You must confirm you are old enough to use Sono Affamato when you sign up. We do not knowingly keep accounts of people under that age.
