Agreement to Terms
By accessing, browsing, or using eat.skywayfriends.orgor any related application or interface (the “Service”) in any way, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must immediately cease all access and use of the Service.
This Privacy Policy describes how the eat. application (“we”, “us”, “our”) handles personal information when you visit eat.skywayfriends.org (or any successor domain such as eat.spskyway.com) or use any related site or application operated by Jacob Ramos and Open-Civ. The Service, and all data, content, and intellectual property associated with it, are owned solely by Jacob Ramos and Open-Civ; no other person or organization — including without limitation any unincorporated community group operating under the names “Friends of the Saint Paul Skyway,” “Friends of the Skyway,” “Skyway Friends,” “FOS,” or any similar or successor wordmark, brand, or trade name (including the skywayfriends.org domain) — holds any ownership interest in the Service.
What we collect
- Information you give us. When you apply for the beta crew we collect your first and last name, email address, whether you attended a previous progressive dinner, and any feedback you choose to share. When you sign in to attend an event we collect your email address and a one-time magic-link token. When you sign up for pre-event reminders we collect your email address.
- Check-in records.When you scan a restaurant’s QR poster we record the restaurant, the time, and the attendee account that performed the scan. We do not capture your device’s location to make this work — the QR code itself is the proof of presence.
- Activity data. We log basic events such as page views, link clicks, and administrative actions so we can run the dinner safely and debug issues. These events are tied to your attendee record only when you are signed in.
How we use it
- To run the dinner — confirm registrations, manage the per-restaurant capacity cap, send reminders, and time your wrap-up warning.
- To respond to your beta application or feedback.
- To improve future events.
We do not sell your information and we do not share it with advertisers or marketers.
Service providers
We rely on a small number of third-party services to run the site:
- Vercel — hosting and edge delivery
- Supabase — database and authentication
- Resend — outbound email
These providers handle data on our behalf under their own privacy commitments.
Cookies
We use a small number of strictly necessary cookies:
- A signed attendee session cookie set after you click your magic link.
- Separate signed cookies for admin, host, and chef sessions if you have signed in to one of those surfaces.
We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies.
Retention
We keep registration, check-in, and feedback records as long as they are useful to plan and run future events. We delete or anonymize records on request.
Your choices
You can ask us to delete your beta signup, your account, your check-in history, your feedback, or any other personal information you have submitted by emailing eat@open-civ.com.
Children
The site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version is always available at eat.skywayfriends.org/privacy-policy.
