WhatToEat is a free, experimental food-decision tool for Singapore, owned by Eidolon. This explains what we collect and why. We keep it minimal.

What we collect

Anonymous usage — which dishes you swipe, the area you pick, and your likes/skips, tied to a random id stored in your browser (no login, no name unless you join a group room).
Group rooms — the display name you enter, and your email only if you choose to provide it (optional).
Location — if you allow it, your device location is used live to find nearby spots. We do not store your precise coordinates — only a coarse area label.

Restaurant data

Restaurant names, ratings, photos, prices and opening hours come live from Google Maps and are not stored by us. The only restaurant detail we keep is Google's opaque place_id (e.g. to remember a spot you liked), which carries no personal info.

Third parties

We use Google Maps / Places (live listings + photos), Google Gemini (the AI concierge), Cloudflare (hosting), and Google Analytics (usage stats, if enabled). Your queries are processed by these providers to deliver the service. We do not sell your data.

Your choices (PDPA)

The bits we keep in your browser (local storage) auto-expire on their own (per-room flags within ~2 weeks, your name within ~3 months, the anonymous usage id after ~6 months of inactivity), and you can clear them yourself any time. Google Analytics only sets its cookie if you tap "Okay" on the cookie notice — decline and it stays off. To access, correct, or delete any personal data you've given us (e.g. a room email), or to ask a question, contact hello@whattoeat.com.sg.
