Wings Near Me by Doggett Labs · Last updated: October 27, 2026
The short version
- We collect what you give us to run your account and show your reviews, plus app usage analytics on iPhone.

- We don’t sell your data or show ads.
- You can delete your account in the app at any time.
Who we are
Wings Near Me is made by Samuel Doggett, trading as Doggett Labs, in Boston, Massachusetts. We are responsible for the data described here. Contact us at contact@doggettlabs.dev.
What we collect
Information you give us
- Account: your email address and a password, which we store only as a secure hash. If you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive an account identifier and, if you share it, your email address. Apple’s “Hide My Email” address works too.
- Profile: your username and the avatar you pick from our set. You don’t upload a profile photo.
- Reviews: the restaurant, your ratings, flavors, written comments and any photos you attach.
- Activity: deals you add, correct or confirm; votes on reviews; bookmarks; who you follow and block; and reports you file.
- Restaurants you add: the place’s name, address, location and map identifiers.
- Support emails: what you write to us. Emails sent from the app include your app version and device model. On iPhone you can also choose to attach the app’s logs.
Information collected automatically
- Location: with your permission, the app uses your device location to show nearby restaurants and to rank search results. When you search, the app sends approximate coordinates with the request. We don’t store your location or keep a location history.
- Usage analytics (iPhone only): which screens and features you use, such as opening a restaurant or posting a review, with your device type, OS version, app version and approximate region. These events are linked to your account ID so we can tell how the app is used over time. The Android app has no analytics.
- Push notifications (iPhone only): if you allow them, we store your device’s push token so we can tell you when people you follow post.
- Server logs: our server sees your IP address on each request. We use it to rate-limit abuse and to investigate problems, and we don’t link it to your profile.
- Supporter subscription (iPhone only): Apple handles payment. We receive and store the subscription’s transaction ID and expiry date to give you Supporter perks. We never see your payment details.
How we use it
- To run your account, show your reviews and deals, and power following, leaderboards and achievements.
- To keep the community safe: checking reviews, usernames, deals and photos for objectionable content, and acting on reports.
- To send account emails, such as password reset codes.
- To understand which features people use and fix problems.
If you’re in the EU or UK, our legal bases are: contract for running your account and the features you use; legitimate interests for moderation, security and analytics; and consent for location and push notifications, which you can withdraw in your device settings.
What is public
Anyone using Wings Near Me, signed in or not, can see your username, avatar, join date, Supporter badge, follower and following counts, your reviews and their photos (except any removed by moderation), and the deals you add. Your email address, bookmarks, blocks and reports are never shown to other users.
Who we share it with
We don’t sell your personal information or share it for advertising. We use these service providers, who process data only to provide their service to us:
| Provider | What for | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Railway | Hosting our server and database | All data we store |
| Cloudflare | Photo storage and backups | Review photos, database backups |
| OpenAI | Automated content moderation | Review text, usernames, deal text and review photos |
| Place search on Android, Sign in with Google | Search text and approximate coordinates; your Google sign-in token | |
| Apple | Maps and search on iPhone, Sign in with Apple, push notifications, subscriptions | What Apple’s own services need |
| Amplitude | Usage analytics (iPhone only) | Analytics events and your account ID |
| Resend | Sending email | Your email address and the email content |
| WishKit | Feature suggestions (iPhone only) | Suggestions and votes you submit |
Some of these providers are in the United States, so your data may be processed there. We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect users from harm.
How long we keep it
We keep your data while your account exists. When you delete your account, we delete it straight away, except as described on Delete Your Account. Deleted data can remain in our nightly database backups for up to 14 days before they are replaced.
Your rights and choices
- Delete your account: Profile → Settings → Delete Account. More details.
- Location and notifications: turn them off at any time in your device settings.
- Access, correct or export your data: email us and we will respond within 30 days.
Depending on where you live, including the EU, UK and US states such as California, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or port your data, and to object to or restrict how we use it. Email us to use any of these rights. We won’t treat you differently for using them. If you’re in the EU or UK, you can also complain to your local data protection authority.
Security
Data is encrypted in transit, passwords are hashed with bcrypt, and access to our systems is limited to the developer. No system is perfectly secure, and we will tell you if a breach affects your data.
Children
Wings Near Me is not intended for children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their data. If you think a child has created an account, email us and we will delete it.
Changes
We will update this page when what we collect or share changes, and change the date at the top. For significant changes, we will also tell you in the app.
