How can I help?

Aftertaste is made by one person. Write to me about anything: a bug, a question, an idea.

Email

For anything about your account, write from the Google address you sign in with, so I can find it.

Deleting your account

In the app, go to Profile, Settings, Delete account. Aftertaste shows how many places, visits and dishes will be deleted, then makes an export for you to save or share first. If the export fails you can retry, or delete without it.

Deleting removes your account, diary, Want to try list, photos and profile picture. It cannot be undone.

Can’t open the app? Email hello@theaftertaste.app from the address you sign in with and I will delete the account for you.

What friends can see

Nothing, unless you choose to share. Your diary is visible only to you until you switch on “share my diary” in Profile. While it is on, other signed-in Aftertaste users, not only people you know, can see:

your name and profile picture;
the places you added (name, category, city, address, position on the map, cover photo) and your “recommended” answer;
the dates and overall ratings of your visits;
your dishes: name, photos, taste and value ratings, price, tags and veg / non-veg / vegan type.

Always private, even when sharing is on: your visit and dish notes, your “would go again” answer, your favourites, your Want to try list, your email address and your settings.

Switching sharing off removes your diary from other people’s views. Nobody can ever add to your diary.

How location is used

Aftertaste asks for location only while the app is in use, and only the first time you search for a place. It never asks for background location.

It puts places near you first in search results and shows distances.
Your position is held in the app’s memory. It is not saved in our database and not written to our logs.
To rank results, it is sent to our search service, which passes it to Google Places.
If you say no, search still works. You can change your mind any time in your phone’s settings.

Exporting your data

In the app, go to Profile, Settings, Export my data. Aftertaste builds a zip file on your phone with your data (as JSON and as a readable HTML page) and all your photos, then opens the share sheet so you can save it wherever you like. We never receive a copy.
