Privacy policy
This site is designed to work without user accounts, advertising trackers or analytics cookies.
Information collected automatically
Our hosting provider may process standard technical logs such as IP address, browser type, requested URL, timestamp and security events. These logs support delivery, abuse prevention and reliability.
Map tiles
Interactive maps request tiles from OpenStreetMap infrastructure. The tile provider receives technical request information such as your IP address and the requested map tiles. OpenStreetMap’s own privacy terms apply to that service.
Location
The “near me” control asks the browser for geolocation only after you press it. Coordinates are used in your browser to reposition the map and are not sent to our application server by site code. You can deny or revoke location access in browser settings.
Searches
Restaurant search and filtering run in the browser against a static search index. Query parameters may appear in the page URL and therefore in normal hosting logs when a URL is requested or shared.
If you email us, we receive your address and message content. We use it to respond and investigate the issue. Do not send sensitive personal information.
Cookies and analytics
We do not currently use Google Analytics, advertising cookies or user accounts. If that changes, this policy will be updated before those tools are enabled.
