About this service

Prague Cafe is a guide to Prague’s cafés. Browsing and saving work without an account. An optional account enables sync across devices. The service accepts no payments and does not offer reservations.

Café information

Descriptions and addresses come from venue websites and coffee guides. Menus, opening hours and venue operations may change. Check current information with the café before visiting. Individual venues are responsible for their own services.

Saved places and browser storage

Without signing in, saved cafés are stored in this browser under prague-cafe-saved and visited places under prague-cafe-visited. They remain until removed or website data is cleared.

When you choose to sign in, Supabase processes your email, account ID and saved and visited cafés for authentication and sync. The database is in Frankfurt (EU). Records are private. The browser also stores your session, local copy and pending changes. You can delete your account and cloud records in account settings; the current local list remains in your browser.

Café tips and news by email

Prague Cafe newsletter emails are optional and separate from sign-in and analytics consent. New users are offered emails only after email verification and can skip the offer. We record that the offer was shown so it does not repeat, along with your email preference, the time of the change, the consent wording and its language. Signing in does not subscribe or unsubscribe you. You can change your preference in your account anytime. Every newsletter will include an unsubscribe option.

Café suggestions

You can suggest a café without an account. We store the name, address or link and optional comment in a private Supabase database in the EU to review and expand the guide. We also email a copy of the suggestion to [email protected]. Please don’t include personal information. To help prevent spam, we briefly use a daily hash of your IP address; the address itself is not stored in this database.

Cookies and analytics

Google Analytics 4 loads only after you consent to analytics cookies. We measure visits to pages and café profiles; we do not send your email, private list names or search terms. Advertising features are disabled. Without consent, Google Analytics does not load and we send no analytics requests to Google.

We remember acceptance or rejection for 180 days in local storage under prague-cafe-consent-v1. Analytics cookies _ga and _ga_* may be stored for up to 180 days. You can change your choice at any time using Cookie settings in the footer. On withdrawal we stop measurement, delete accessible analytics cookies and reload the page. This does not automatically remove data already sent.

Analytics is provided by Google Ireland Limited. The service processes information such as a browser identifier, page visits and technical device data; data may be transferred outside the EEA under Google’s terms. See Google’s privacy information for details.

We retain user and event data in Google Analytics for 2 months without extending retention on new activity. Aggregated statistics may be retained longer. Optional analytics is based on your consent.

Maps and external services

Map data is loaded from OpenFreeMap. When the map loads, its provider receives the technical data needed to serve the request, such as your IP address and requested map tiles. That service’s own privacy information applies. Fonts and photographs in our selection are served by this website.

The web server processes technical data needed to deliver pages, such as your IP address, request time and requested URL. The scope and retention of operational logs for the public version will be specified before launch.

Your location

We request your location when you open the café list for the default distance order, or when you tap the location button. You control access in your browser. Without location, we show newly added cafés first. Coordinates are used only in browser memory for sorting and, when requested, marking the map; we do not store them in our database or send them to analytics. Requested map tiles may indicate the displayed area to the map provider. You can revoke permission in your browser at any time.

Links and sharing

Links to café websites, directions and other external pages open third-party services. Their providers’ policies apply once opened. The share feature passes a link only to your device’s share menu or clipboard, according to your choice.

Intellectual property

Venue names, brands and photographs belong to their respective rights holders. Inclusion in this guide does not imply a partnership or transfer rights for further use. We keep records of information and photo sources for each venue.

Operator and contact

Prague Cafe is created by Jiří Šilha. For questions about the service or requests concerning personal data, contact [email protected]. Depending on the circumstances, you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction and data portability. You can also complain to the Czech Office for Personal Data Protection. You can withdraw analytics consent at any time in Cookie settings.

Your lists are private until you enable sharing for a particular list. Anyone with its link can then view the name, selected cafés and map, without your email or other lists. You can turn off sharing at any time. Shared lists are not included in public Lists or the sitemap, and we do not measure them with Google Analytics.
