We value your privacy as much as ours. This page explains exactly what data we collect, how we use it, and what we will never do with it. No legal jargon walls. No hidden clauses. Just a straight explanation from the people who built this site.
Here is the breakdown of what we do and what we will never do. No gray areas. No fine print traps.
| Category | What We Value | What We Never Do |
|---|---|---|
| Browsing | Anonymous browsing for all users | Selling your personal info |
| Data Sync | Encrypted data transmission (HTTPS) | Hidden tracking cookies |
| Independence | 100% independent, user-first data | Corporate data sharing |
| Cookies | Minimal, functional cookies only | Invasive cross-site tracking |
| Contact Data | Your email stays between us | Sharing emails with third parties |
| Children | COPPA compliant, no child data | Collecting data from minors |
Let's be real. Most privacy pages bury cookie information in 5 pages of legal text. Here is what actually happens when you visit this site: we use minimal cookies to run Google Analytics (so we know which pages are popular), Google AdSense (to keep the site free by showing relevant ads), and basic preference storage so the Nutrition Calculator and Cafe Locator remember your last settings. That is it.
Anonymous traffic data. No personal identification. Helps us improve the site.
Keeps the site free. You can opt out of personalized ads anytime.
Remembers your Nutrition Calculator filters and Cafe Locator state.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or the Digital Advertising Alliance. You can also clear or block cookies through your browser settings at any time. See our Cookie Policy for more details.
The truth is, we collect very little. Here is the full list:
Email addresses you voluntarily provide through our contact form. We never harvest emails from browsing.
Anonymous metrics like page views, time on page, bounce rates, and browser type via Google Analytics. No personal identification.
Temporary IP addresses and city-level geolocation used for server routing. Never stored permanently.
Any data we receive is used strictly for three purposes:
Making sure menu pages load fast and display correctly on every device.
Responding to your contact form messages within 24 hours.
Understanding which pages and tools are most popular so we can improve them.
We operate on a zero-sale policy. Your personal or behavioral data is never sold, traded, or given away. We only share underlying metrics in two situations:
Basic encrypted traffic through hosting partners like Vercel. This is standard for every website on the internet.
Only when required by law, such as a valid subpoena or court order from a government authority.
We use HTTPS encryption across the entire site, secure hosting through Vercel, and follow industry-standard security practices. No system is 100% bulletproof, but we take every reasonable step to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction.
We use Google AdSense to display ads. This is how we keep the site free. These ads may use cookies to show you relevant content based on your browsing history across the web. They do not have access to your name, email, or any personal details you share with us.
Google uses advertising cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to this and other websites.
You can opt out of personalized advertising at any time through Google Ads Settings.
We do not control third-party ad cookies. Use your browser settings to manage them.
