Privacy policy
What the site collects, what it does with it, and the choices you have. Questions go to carlos@vivorating.com.
Effective 31 August 2026
What the site collects
An account. Signing up takes an email address, a password and a display name you choose. Passwords are handled by Supabase, the site's authentication provider, and are never visible to us. Your email address is used to confirm your account, sign you in and reset your password. It is never shown publicly.
Sign in with Google. If you use Google to sign in, Google shares your email address and basic profile details with the site. The email address identifies your account. Your Google name is not published anywhere: the name on your reviews is always the display name you choose here.
Reviews. A review includes your rating, what you wrote, the date you attended and the venue, plus any optional ratings you add. Reviews are public and appear under your display name.
Votes and reports. Marking a review as helpful, or reporting one, is stored. Who voted or reported is never shown publicly.
What is public
Your display name, your reviews and the scores computed from them. Your reviewer page collects your reviews in one place and is kept out of search engines. Your email address is never public.
What the site does not do
No ads. No selling data. No tracking cookies. No marketing emails. Analytics are cookieless and aggregate (Vercel Analytics), so the site can count visits without recognising visitors.
Cookies
The only cookies are the ones that keep you signed in, plus a short-lived marker used during password reset. Essential ones only, which is why the site never asks you to accept them.
Approximate location
Venue and search results are ordered by distance using the approximate location that comes with your connection. It is read on each request to sort results, and the site does not store it.
The site sends account email only: confirmation and password reset messages, delivered through Resend. There is no newsletter.
Where the data lives
The database and authentication run on Supabase. The site runs on Vercel. Both process the data described here on the site's behalf.
Editing, deleting and history
You can edit or delete your reviews at any time, and change your display name at Account. When you edit a review, the previous version is kept internally. If moderation removes a review, an internal record of the removed text and the reason is kept, so removals stay accountable.
To delete your account, or to ask anything about your data, write to carlos@vivorating.com.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version appears here with a new date.
