Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-06-13
1. Who we are
escolhe.la is a web application that helps groups decide where to eat. We have no user accounts and collect no names or email addresses.
2. Data collected
- Participant identifier — a UUID generated by your browser and stored in localStorage. Never linked to a real person.
- Votes (yes/no per restaurant, per room, per participant ID).
- Rooms and candidates: search query, restaurant names, addresses, ratings, and photo references from the Google Places API.
- Booking intent clicks (anonymous count per candidate/room, no participant ID stored).
We use no cookies. We use no third-party analytics scripts.
3. Third-party services
- Google Places API — used to search for restaurants. Google's terms of service apply to submitted queries.
- OpenStreetMap — map tiles loaded directly from openstreetmap.org.
- unpkg.com — serves JavaScript libraries (HTMX, Leaflet) via CDN.
4. Data retention
Rooms and votes are stored indefinitely in the database (no automatic TTL in the current version). We do not share data with third parties for commercial purposes.
5. Your rights (GDPR)
As we collect no identifiable personal data, most GDPR rights do not apply in practice.
