Foods Nearby is a static website. Reading it does not require an account, and we do not ask you to log in to see a guide.
What we collect
Information you send us. If you use the contact form or the submit-a-spot form, we receive what you type into it: your name, email address, and the details of the spot you are describing. We use it to reply to you and, if the spot checks out, to build a listing.
Technical information. Our hosting and CDN providers process standard request logs, including IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time of the request. These logs exist to keep the site online and to detect abuse. We do not use them to build a profile of you.
No advertising cookies. The site does not set advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. There is no third-party analytics script, no social embed and no session recording tool on any page.
How long we keep it
Form submissions are kept for as long as they are useful: usually until the tip has been verified or declined, and no longer than two years. Server logs are retained by our hosting provider for a short operational window and then discarded.
Who we share it with
We do not sell personal information. We share it only with the infrastructure providers that run the site: our CDN and hosting provider, and our email provider when a form submission is delivered. Each processes data on our instructions.
We will disclose information if we are legally required to, and we will tell you when we are allowed to.
Your choices
You can ask us what we hold about you, ask for a copy, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Send the request through the contact form and we will confirm within a reasonable period. If you are in a jurisdiction with a statutory response window, we will meet it.
You can also browse with cookies and JavaScript disabled. The site is built to be read that way.
Children
Foods Nearby is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their information.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that affects what we collect, we will update the date at the top of this page and describe the change. We will not apply a new use to data we already hold without telling you first.
