dish.Dish beta participation & privacy
Share real experiences
Review only dishes or restaurants you personally tried. Choose your honest 0–10 rating. Do not copy someone else's review, invent visits, post private information about others, harass people or manipulate rankings. Declare restaurant relationships to Matt; connected reviews must not masquerade as independent recommendations.
Join with your own email
Registration is open to everyone; no invitation code is needed. Verify your email with a one-time code, then sign in with your password. No phone number or SMS is required. New contributors' reviews await moderation. Registration does not grant administrator, restaurant-management or approved-contributor privileges.
What other people can see
Anyone can browse Dish. Your display name, published review text, rating and meal timing appear with reviews. Your email, phone, password and private account details do not. Published reviews are public and can be screenshotted. Withdraw a review from My Reviews to remove its public display. Revision and moderation history are retained internally.
How account information is used
Email supports verification and password recovery; sign-in uses your password. Previously supplied phone details remain private and are not used for authentication or texting. Administrators access account details for support and moderation. When activated, hosting and email services process the information necessary to operate those features. Dish uses session/security cookies. It does not currently enable advertising analytics, contacts imports or background location tracking.
Account removal and support
Withdrawing a review is not account deletion. Self-service account deletion and a dedicated public support channel are not yet available. Backup retention, deletion handling and age/access policy are still being finalized.
Public beta update, September 19, 2026. This describes the current implementation and remaining policy work; it is not a claim of legal compliance or a finalized privacy policy.
