What to Eat

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-09-25

What to Eat is a small app for friends on a trip to propose restaurants for each meal, vote on them, and put the decided meal on everyone’s calendar. It is a personal, non-commercial project and is still in early development.

This page explains what the app collects, why it collects it, and what you can do about it.

What we collect

When you sign in with Google

• Your name, email address and profile picture. These identify you to the other members of the trips you join.

When you use the app

• The trips you create or join, and your membership in them.
• The restaurants you propose, including any Google Maps link and note you add.
• Your votes, and the meals you decide.

If you connect a Google Calendar

Only the member who chooses to connect a calendar is asked for this permission. It uses the calendar.app.created scope, which lets the app:

• create a new calendar for the trip on your Google account, and
• create, update and delete events on that calendar only.

The app cannot see, read or change any of your other calendars or events.

To keep the connection working, the app stores a Google refresh token on its server. That token is never sent to anyone’s browser. The app deletes it when Google stops accepting it, when you leave the trip, and when another member takes the trip calendar over.

Other members of the trip can see whether the trip calendar is working and whose Google account it is on. If it stops working, any member can take it over: the app then makes a new calendar on their account, and the old one stays on yours until you delete it.

How your information is used

• To run the app. Your trips, proposals, votes and decisions are shown to the other members of the same trip, and to nobody else.
• To put decided meals on the calendar. Each event on the trip calendar lists the trip members as attendees, so it appears in their own calendars.
• To send email. You may receive a daily digest for a trip, a message when a meal is decided or changed, and reminders to vote.

We do not sell your information, use it for advertising, or share it with anyone except the service providers listed below.

Your email address and calendar invitations

When you are added to a calendar event as an attendee, Google shows your email address to the other attendees. This is how Google Calendar works, and the app cannot hide it.

The app tells you this before you join a trip. You can turn off calendar invitations for any trip, at any time. You will still see decided meals in the app and still receive email about them.

Google user data

The app’s use of information received from Google APIs complies with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements. Google user data is used only to provide the features described on this page, is not transferred to anyone except as needed to provide those features, and is never used for advertising or to train AI or machine-learning models.

Where your data is stored

• Supabase hosts the database and sign-in.
• Google hosts the trip calendar, on the Google account of the member who connected it.
• An email delivery provider sends the app’s emails. It receives only your email address and the content of the message.

Keeping and deleting your data

• Leaving a trip. You stop receiving its email and are removed from future calendar events. If you held the trip calendar, the app stops writing to it and deletes its token; the calendar itself stays on your Google account until you delete it. Proposals and votes you made stay in the trip’s history, so the group can still see why a meal was decided.
• Deleting your data. To have your account and personal data deleted, open an issue at the link below. We will delete it within 30 days. Restaurants you proposed, and meals you decided, stay in the trip without your name; your votes are deleted.
• Revoking Google access. You can revoke the app’s access to your Google account at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions. Calendars the app created stay on your account, and you can delete them yourself in Google Calendar.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new “Last updated” date.
