GoodEats ("we", "us") is a dining journal and social app for rating restaurants, sharing reviews and recipes, and getting recommendations. This policy describes what information the app collects, how it's used, and the choices you have. Contact: gourmetcanvassupport@gmail.com .
We do not collect advertising identifiers, and we do not use your data to track you across third-party apps or websites.
GoodEats is partly social. Content you post can be public or followers-only — you choose when posting, and followers must be approved by you. Your profile (username, display name, and public content) is visible to other users. Direct messages are available to conversation participants. If a message is reported, its content is also available to authorized moderators. New shared content and edits are checked before others can see them. With your explicit permission when sharing, OpenAI screens the shared text and photos or sampled video frames. Content that passes can publish automatically; flagged or unsupported content, including video audio, is reviewed by our moderators. If you decline automated screening, the content waits for manual review. Moderators can inspect submitted content, handle reports, remove content and suspend accounts. Blocking prevents contact and hides content between the accounts within GoodEats; it cannot recall copies someone previously saved.
Before you use AI, GoodEats asks for your explicit permission to share information with Anthropic and OpenAI. If you agree, your prompts and the photos, screenshots, links or recipe details you select are sent through our servers to these providers to answer questions, import content, build recipes or generate images. Personalized requests may include your display name, username, biography, dining/search area, filters, taste and dietary preferences, ratings, saved restaurants and recipes. Do not include another person's private information without their permission.
You can decline and use the rest of GoodEats. To withdraw permission for future AI requests on this device, go to Settings → Privacy & permissions → Turn off AI sharing. This does not recall information already processed by a provider or delete saved conversations. Provider processing and retention are governed by their API arrangements and privacy policies: Anthropic and OpenAI.
Permission for automated community screening is separate from permission to use the AI assistant. You can remember your screening choice on this device, or use Settings → Privacy & permissions → Ask before each safety check. This stops automatic permission for future submissions; checks already requested may finish. Screening requests contain the shared content, which may include public profile details or information visible in uploads, rather than your private messages, address book or full account history.
We use a small set of infrastructure providers to run the app. They process data on our behalf to deliver the service:
We don't sell your personal information, and we don't share it with third parties for their own marketing.
Your data is retained while your account is active. You can permanently delete your account in the app under Profile → Settings → Account → Delete account. Deletion removes your sign-in record, profile, content (ratings, reviews, posts, reels, comments, messages), and uploaded media from our active systems. Limited abuse reports, security records or records required by law may be retained when necessary to protect the service or comply with obligations. If you can't access the app, email us from your account's address and we'll delete it for you. Residual copies in encrypted backups are purged on the backup provider's rotation schedule.
All traffic between the app and our servers is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS). Database access is protected by per-user authorization rules so accounts can only read what they're permitted to see. No method of storage is 100% secure, but we work to protect your information and will notify affected users of any breach as required by law.
GoodEats is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we'll delete it.
You can view and edit your profile and content directly in the app, and delete your account as described above. Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to access, correct, export, or erase your personal data — email us and we'll honor verified requests.
If we make material changes, we'll update the effective date above and note the change in the app. If a change requires new consent, we will ask before the affected processing begins.
