How does privacy work?

You choose privacy per note: keep it private, share with friends, or make it public. You can change visibility any time.

Do I need an account?

An account lets you back up data, use social features, and sync across devices.

Next Time ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application ("the App"). By using the App, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

• Notes you create about restaurants, including optional categories like "Last Time," "Next Time," or "Favorites"

Automatically Collected Information:

• Location access (used to provide nearby suggestions and search results; not stored or shared outside the immediate request)
• App usage data (via Google Analytics for Firebase)
• Device information (such as device type, OS version, and crash logs, for analytics and debugging)

• Cached images and data on your device are automatically deleted when no longer needed or when you clear the app cache.
