Privacy Policy
1. Who we are
Tastes ("we", "us", "our") is a social discovery app for restaurants, cafés, bars and nightlife, operated by TASTES APP LIMITED. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect when you use the Tastes app or visit tastesapp.com, how we use it, and the choices you have.
If you have any questions, contact us at contact@tastesapp.com.
2. Information we collect
Information you give us:
- Account details — your name, username or handle, phone number, and email address when you create an account or join our waitlist.
- Profile information — a profile photo, bio, and taste preferences you choose to add.
- Content you share — ratings, reviews, dish photos, bookmarks, and the friends or places you tag.
- Messages to us — anything you send when you contact support or give feedback.
Information collected automatically:
- Usage data — how you interact with the app, such as places viewed, searches, and features used.
- Device data — device type, operating system, app version, and general log information.
- Location data — approximate or precise location, only with your permission, to show nearby places and trends. You can turn this off at any time in your device settings.
3. How we use your information
- To create and manage your account and let you sign in.
- To provide core features — your feed, map, ratings, bookmarks, and connecting with friends.
- To personalise recommendations and show what's trending near you.
- To keep Tastes safe, prevent abuse, and enforce our Terms of Service.
- To communicate with you about your account, early access, and product updates.
- To understand how Tastes is used so we can improve it.
4. How we share information
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only:
- With other users — your profile, ratings, and shared content are visible according to your app settings.
- With service providers — companies that help us run Tastes (such as hosting, analytics, and communications), under contracts that protect your data.
- For legal reasons — where required by law or to protect the rights and safety of Tastes and our users.
- In a business transfer — if Tastes is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
5. How long we keep it
We keep your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service. If you delete your account, we delete or anonymise your personal data within a reasonable period, unless we're required to keep it for legal reasons.
6. Your rights
Depending on where you live (including under the GDPR and CCPA), you may have the right to:
- Access a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Correct inaccurate data or complete incomplete data.
- Delete your personal data ("right to be forgotten").
- Restrict or object to certain processing.
- Receive your data in a portable format.
- Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at contact@tastesapp.com.
7. Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data. No system is completely secure, but we work to safeguard your information and will notify you of any breach as required by law.
8. Children
Tastes is not intended for children under 16 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as Tastes evolves. When we make material changes, we'll update the effective date above and notify you in the app or by email. Continued use of Tastes after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
