What we keep, and why
Filtered is a guide to specialty coffee roasters and the cafes that serve them. You can browse all of it without an account. This page covers what happens when you make one. Last updated November 11, 2026.
What we store
- Your email address. It is how you sign in. We send sign-in codes to it and nothing else.
- A display name and picture, if you use Google. Google shares your name, email address and profile picture when you choose Continue with Google. We keep the name and the picture link so your check-ins can carry a name. We never see your Google password, contacts or anything else in your Google account.
- Your check-ins. The coffee, roaster or cafe, your rating, brew method, flavor tags, any notes you write, and when you logged it.
What other people can see
A check-in marked Public appears on the roaster and cafe pages with your display name, and its rating counts toward their scores. A check-in marked Private is visible only to you. Your email address is never shown to anyone.
Location
We only read your location when you press My location. The coordinates are sent with the page request so we can sort places by distance, and your browser remembers the last place you picked. Your location is not saved to your account.
Cookies and tracking
We set the cookies that keep you signed in. There is no advertising, no analytics script and no cross-site tracking. We do not sell or rent your data, and we do not share it for marketing.
Who else handles your data
- Supabase hosts the database and runs sign-in.
- Vercel serves the site and keeps short-lived request logs.
- Google is involved only if you sign in with Google.
- CARTO supplies the map tiles on the map page.
- Roasters and cafes. Their logos and photos load straight from their own websites, so those sites receive the same request any visitor to them would send.
Removing your data
Email hello@filtered.cafe from the address you signed up with and we will delete your account and every check-in attached to it. You can ask for a copy of your data the same way.
Changes and contact
If this page changes in a way that matters, the date above changes with it. Questions go to hello@filtered.cafe.
