Paul Scheuble, as operator of curatr, is responsible for data processing (address see legal notice). For privacy questions write to curationapp@gmx.de.
curatr is a social curation app for restaurants, cafés and bars: you rate places, see your friends' recommendations and discover new places. For this we process:
| Data | Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account data | Name, username, email address, password (stored encrypted only), optionally phone number, birthday, profile picture, short bio, dietary preferences. For sign-in and your profile. | Contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) |
| Visit data | Places you rate, scores, tags, notes, photos, comments, hearts. Your history, top picks and the friends feed. | Contract |
| Location | Only when you use search, map or “Nearby” and allow it. No background tracking, no permanent location history. | Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)), revocable at any time in your device settings |
| Photos | Profile picture, visit, menu and dish photos that you upload yourself. | Contract |
| Social connections | Who you follow and who follows you; places and lists sent to friends with note and reply. For the friends feed, recommendations and notifications. | Contract |
| Contact matching | On request the app compares phone numbers from your address book to suggest friends. It does not send numbers, only check values (hashes) of them to our server, which returns only the matches. The check values are not stored. You choose under Privacy whether others can find you by your number. | Consent |
| Notifications | A device token to send you notifications (for example hearts, comments, follow requests, weekly and monthly recap). You can turn them off in your device settings and in the app. | Consent |
| Reports and feedback | Content you submit via “Report” or “Give feedback”. | Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)), protecting users |
| Technical data | When our servers are accessed, technical data is briefly processed (for example IP address, time, device type) for secure operation. | Legitimate interest |
We use technical service providers that process data only on our behalf:
We do not sell your data and do not pass it on for advertising. There is no advertising and no tracking by advertising or analytics services.
You decide what others see, in “Privacy” in your profile: Everyone, Followers only or Nobody (for bio, badges, top picks, recent visits, followers and following).
Name, username and profile picture are always visible to other users so the app works socially. Hints such as “friend was there” or “you both want to go” exist only between people who follow each other. You can turn this feature off in “Personalize”.
As long as your account exists. You can delete your account and all related data at any time in the app (Profile → Edit profile → Delete account) or request it by email, see delete account. Legal retention duties remain unaffected. Technical access data is kept by providers only briefly.
You have the right to access, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability and objection. You can withdraw a given consent at any time with effect for the future. Just write to the address below. You can also complain to a data protection supervisory authority.
