Privacy Policy

Last updated November 9, 2026

Golosi helps you find restaurants that are open near you, and share reviews and lists with people you know. This page says what we collect, why, who else handles it, and how you remove it.

What we collect

• Your account: your email address, and the name and photo your sign-in provider shares, if you sign in with Google or Apple. Other people never see your email. We keep a one-way hash of it so people who already know your address can find you, and you can turn that off in Settings.
• What you add: your handle, bio, profile photo, reviews, ratings, what you spent, photos and captions, comments, menu photos, lists, favorites, plans, groups and who you follow.
• Your location: when you search, your location is sent through our server to our map provider to find places near you. We don't save it. It's only used when you allow it, and you can search by area instead.
• IP addresses: we use these to limit spam and overuse. An IP address stored with a review is erased after a day. One stored with a report of a review or menu photo stays with that report.
• Notifications: if you turn them on, the address your browser gives us for sending them to this device.
• Usage and errors: which parts of the app get used (an open, a search, a coin flip, a place opened, an invite shared) and any errors it runs into, with the time, your device id, your account if you're signed in, and your browser version. This stays in our own database.
• How you found Golosi: We record how you found Golosi (for example the link or site you came from) to improve our marketing. That's the campaign tags on the link, the page you landed on and the name of the site that sent you, never the full address. It's saved with your account when you sign up, and nobody else can see it.
• On your device: your filters, recent picks, places you asked for directions to, theme and sign-in session are kept in your browser's storage. If you use Golosi signed out, your favorites stay there too.

We count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which sets no cookies and doesn't follow you across other sites. We don't use advertising trackers, and we don't sell your data.

What other people can see

• Reviews you post appear on your profile, and the ratings, tips and photos in them can be seen by anyone looking at that place, without your name.
• A public profile can be seen and followed by anyone with a Golosi account. On a private profile, people can still find your name and photo, but only followers you approve and friends see your reviews, lists and favorites.
• Lists and favorites each have their own setting: private, friends or public.
• Reviews, and lists set to public by a public profile, also appear on Golosi's public web pages, which anyone on the internet can read and search engines can index. Reviews show no name there.
• If you claim a place as its owner, the business name, your name, email and phone are used only to check the claim and to reach you about it. The business name and any specials you post are public.
• Menu photos can be seen by everyone, and don't show who added them.

Who handles it for us

• Supabase: our database, sign-in and photo storage.
• Cloudflare: hosts the website, and counts visits and page speed with Cloudflare Web Analytics, without cookies.
• Google: Google Places gives us restaurant details and photos, and receives the location of your searches. Google also handles Google sign-in if you use it.
• Apple: handles Sign in with Apple if you use it.
• OpenStreetMap services: map images, looking up an area you type, and restaurant data when Google isn't available. Your browser contacts these directly.
• Email and notification services: our email provider sends sign-in codes, and your browser's push service (from Apple, Google or Mozilla, for example) delivers notifications.

How long we keep it

We keep what you add until you delete it or delete your account. Notifications are removed after 90 days, and usage records and errors after 180 days.

Your choices

• Edit or delete a review: open your profile and use Edit or Delete on the review. Deleting it removes its photos too.
• Delete your account: go to Settings, then Delete account. This removes your profile, reviews, photos, comments, menu photos, lists, favorites and follows. If you own a group, it passes to its longest-standing member. It also deletes the usage records tied to your account and the record of how you found Golosi. Backups may hold copies for a short time until they expire.
• Block or report: block someone from their profile, and report reviews, comments or menu photos from where they appear.

Depending on where you live, you may have further legal rights over your data.

Children

Golosi isn't for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their data.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update the date above. If a change is significant, we'll tell you in the app.
