Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 18, 2026

DishSnap ("we", "us") is a social app for rating dishes and restaurants. This policy explains what we collect and how we use it.

What we collect

• Account info: your email address, name, username, and password (stored as a salted hash — we never see or store the plain text).
• Content you post: reviews, scores, comments, photos and videos, stories, lists, and the restaurants you tag.
• Location: with your permission, your device location is used to show nearby dishes and to search restaurants near you. We store the locations of restaurants you tag — not a history of your movements.
• Usage basics: counts such as likes, follows, and points that make the app's social features work.
• Beta waitlist: if you request a beta invite on our website, we store your email address and, if you give them, the username you'd like and your city — only to send your invite, note the handle you asked for, and decide where the beta opens next. Email us to be removed from the list.

How we use it

To run the app: showing your posts to other users, powering search, maps, leaderboards, and notifications, sending password-reset emails, and keeping the community safe (content moderation and account enforcement). We do not sell your personal information or use it for third-party advertising.

Services we rely on

• Convex — hosts our database and backend.
• Apple Maps — restaurant search and geocoding; your search text and approximate location are sent to Apple to return results.
• Resend — delivers password-reset emails.

Sharing

Content you post (reviews, photos, profile) is visible to other users — that's the point of the app. We don't share your email or private account data with other users.

Public lists are published on the web. A list you make public gets a page on dishsnap.app that anyone can open without an account, shown under your username with your profile photo, and search engines may index it. The page can include other members' photos of the dishes and places on your list, credited to their usernames, and your photos can appear the same way on other members' public lists. Private lists are not published and are visible only to you. Switching a list to private, or deleting it, takes its page down right away.

Your controls

• Blocking and reporting are built in.
• You can delete individual posts at any time, and make any list private or delete it.
• You can permanently delete your account and its content from the app's settings. Deletion is immediate and irreversible.

Children

DishSnap is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.

Changes

If this policy changes materially we'll update this page and the date above.
