Write to the email above for anything concerning your data.
Your email address, a username, and an optional display name, profile picture and bio. If you sign up with Google, we receive your email address and name from Google — never your password.
Your answers to the taste quiz at signup, stored as given. The answers are converted into a numeric vector (10 numbers, one per taste axis) used to find your taste twins. As you rate places, part of this vector updates based on your actual behaviour — the quiz counts for less the more you rate.
The places you rate, the score you give, any comment, and the tags you add to the experience (e.g. "cozy", "well curated").
The places you save, any note on why, and the places you actively hide from your recommendations ("not for me"). See "What other users can see" below for who can read the note.
Pictures you upload to a place's page, any caption, and which photos (yours and others') you like.
We record events about how the app is used: which place cards appear in your feed, which you open, when you start a session, which two places you compare in a duel, and similar. This is linked to your account.
This category is large in volume — roughly 10,000 events across all users as of the latest count, mostly place-card impressions in the feed. We do not use it for advertising and do not sell it; it is used to understand and improve the app, and to show you things like "your profile has been viewed X times".
The app may ask for your location to show nearby places. It is handled in your browser only and never stored by us. You can always decline.
| Purpose | Basis |
|---|---|
| Creating and running your account | Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| Computing your taste vector from your quiz and ratings, and finding your taste twins | Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| Showing your ratings, comments and photos to other users | Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| Account emails (sign-in, password reset) | Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| Sending you weekly, personal place recommendations (up to three a week, picked from your taste) | Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) — can always be turned off under Settings |
| Newsletters about the service | Consent — you may unsubscribe anytime |
| Recording behaviour and searches to improve the service | Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)) |
| Showing your comment and first name in our marketing | Consent — see below |
Our legitimate interest in recording behaviour and searches is understanding whether the app actually works — whether people find what they're looking for, whether recommendations land. We've weighed that against your interest in not being surveilled: it is not used to profile you for advertising, is not sold, and is not shared beyond the processors listed below.
When you write a comment on a rating, you can tick "May we share it?" — it is entirely optional, and the box is never pre-checked. If you say yes, we may show that one comment together with your FIRST NAME (never your full username or picture) in our marketing — e.g. ads, posters and social media posts, but never advertising aimed back at you and never to a third party. The consent applies only to that one comment, not to your comments in general, and you can withdraw it at any time by editing the rating and unchecking the box again, the same place you edit the comment itself.
For context: your rating and comment are already public in the app under your full name. Independent of this consent, that same comment may therefore also appear on our public homepage, tastegogo.com — there always with your FIRST NAME only, never your full username or picture.
This is the core of the policy — what is genuinely public to anyone using Tastegogo.
We never sell your data, and we only use your comment or first name in marketing if you've explicitly given permission (see the consent above).
We use these processors to run the service:
Our database and our files (place photos, avatars) are stored in Ireland (Europe/Ireland) — within the EU/EEA.
That doesn't cover everything. Two processors may handle data outside the EU/EEA:
Google Places/Maps receives the search text you type and coordinates, when the app looks up a place or geocodes a search — Google processes this globally, not only within the EU.
Cloudflare runs the application code itself on whichever operating node is geographically closest to you. If you visit the app from outside Europe, the code (though not the database itself) runs outside the EU/EEA.
Both transfers happen under the processor's own transfer basis — the EU's Standard Contractual Clauses.
We keep your data for as long as you have an account.
Places you added to the catalogue remain in the app after deletion, but are no longer linked to you.
Three things are linked to your email address rather than your account, and therefore survive a deletion: a record that you've unsubscribed from newsletters (so we don't accidentally email you again), a technical log of which emails were sent to the address, and any used/unused unsubscribe links. These exist to protect you from re-mailing and for our own email troubleshooting — not to recognize you.
Under the GDPR, you have the right to:
For access, rectification, portability or objection, write to danielpatricklynch1@hotmail.com. We reply within 30 days.
If you are unhappy with how we handle your data you may complain to the Danish Data Protection Agency (Datatilsynet), Carl Jacobsens Vej 35, 2500 Valby, Denmark — datatilsynet.dk.
You can delete your account yourself under You → Settings → Delete account. You confirm with a word ("DELETE"), and it happens immediately — it cannot be undone.
Deletion removes, specifically for your account:
Places you added to the catalogue remain (they are not your personal data), but lose their link to you. The three email-related exceptions are described under "How long we keep it" above.
Exception: your photos of places. Pictures you've uploaded to a place's page stay up without your name on them, instead of being deleted — they're pictures of the place, not of you, and others still use them to get an honest feel for it. They can no longer be traced back to your account. Your profile picture is a different matter and is always deleted entirely, as the list above shows.
Beyond what's stored with us, the app stores a few things locally in your own browser (localStorage) — this never leaves your device and is not visible to us or other users:
If you clear your browser data, or switch devices, this disappears — it does not affect your data with us.
We only use cookies necessary to keep you signed in and to remember whether you have access to the closed beta. We do not use cookies for third-party advertising or analytics.
Tastegogo is not intended for children under 15, and we do not knowingly create accounts for them.
If we change this policy materially, we will tell you in the app or by email before the change takes effect.
