We want CAFÉTA users to understand what happens to their information. The platform uses information to operate accounts, make local discovery useful, support community features, and maintain the service.
Information we collect
The information CAFÉTA handles depends on how you use the platform. You may browse certain public information without creating an account, while features such as Memories, reviews, saved places, and business management may require you to sign in.
Account and profile information
When you create or maintain a CAFÉTA account, information associated with your account may include your name, email address, username, profile photo, biography, and account preferences.
Content you contribute
When you participate in the CAFÉTA community, we handle the information you choose to submit. This may include Memories, uploaded photos, captions, reviews, ratings, comments, likes, and other interactions with places or community content.
Saved places and preferences
CAFÉTA may store businesses you save and preferences you provide so the platform can maintain your account experience and make discovery more relevant to you.
Authentication and technical information
Information necessary to authenticate your account and operate the service may also be processed. Some of this information is handled through the infrastructure and service providers used to operate CAFÉTA.
How we use information
CAFÉTA uses information to provide and improve the platform and its features. Depending on how you use CAFÉTA, this can include authenticating your account, displaying your profile, saving your preferences, presenting business information, and enabling community interactions.

Community content and visibility
CAFÉTA is a community discovery platform. Information you intentionally contribute to community-facing features may be visible to other people who are permitted to access those features.
For example, your username or profile identity may appear alongside a Memory, review, rating, comment, or other content you submit. Photos and captions you post as Memories may also be associated with the business where the Memory was shared.
Location information
CAFÉTA includes location-based discovery features. If you choose to use functionality such as finding businesses near you, your device or browser may ask you for permission to provide your location.
Location access is used to support features that depend on your position, such as nearby discovery. You can control location permission through your browser or device settings. Some location-based features may not work as intended when location access is unavailable.
Business information
Business owners or authorized business members may submit information for a CAFÉTA business profile. This can include the business name, category, description, address, contact information, operating hours, menu information, images, social links, and location coordinates.
Information submitted for a public business profile is intended to help people discover and understand that business and may therefore be displayed to CAFÉTA users.
Service providers
CAFÉTA relies on third-party technology and infrastructure to operate parts of the service. These providers may process information as necessary to provide their respective services, such as authentication, databases, file storage, hosting, or other technical infrastructure.
CAFÉTA currently uses Supabase as part of its backend infrastructure, including authentication, database, and storage functionality.
Security
CAFÉTA uses technical and application-level safeguards intended to protect information and restrict access according to the platform's permissions. These measures may include authentication, database access controls, and authorization rules.
No internet service or storage system can guarantee absolute security. Users are also responsible for protecting access to their own accounts and devices.
Your choices
You can choose what community content you submit and whether to grant optional device permissions such as location access. Certain profile information and preferences may also be editable through CAFÉTA where those controls are available.
If you no longer want to use optional browser permissions, you can change those permissions through your browser or device.
Children's privacy
CAFÉTA is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children in circumstances where parental or guardian consent would be legally required. If you believe information relating to a child has been submitted inappropriately, please contact the platform so the matter can be reviewed.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
CAFÉTA may update this Privacy Policy as the platform, technology, or legal requirements change. When the policy is updated, the effective date displayed on this page should also be updated.
Continued use of CAFÉTA after an updated policy becomes effective means the current version of the policy will apply to your use of the service.
Contact
Questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or privacy on CAFÉTA can be directed to the developer of the platform.
