Privacy

We keep as little information about you as possible, and we are happy to explain all of it in plain English. You can browse and search every dish on this site without an account and without telling us who you are.

What we collect

  • If you create an account: your email address (so you can sign in and verify the account), a name if you choose to give one, and your password, which is stored scrambled so nobody here can read it. If you sign in with Google, we receive your email address and name from Google — never your Google password.
  • If you leave a review: your rating, your comments, the tags you pick (such as portion size), and which dish it was.
  • If you set food preferences or save a list: the choices you make, so the site is more useful next time.
  • Basic usage information: anonymous counts of which dishes and restaurants are viewed, and the searches people run, so we can fix bad results and improve the listings. This is not tied to your name.

What other people can see

On a review, other visitors see only your first name, your community rank, your rating, the date, and what you wrote. Your email address, your password and your full name are never shown publicly.

What we never do

  • We never sell or rent your information to anyone.
  • We never pass your details to restaurants or advertisers.
  • We do not run advertising trackers that follow you around other websites.
  • We do not send marketing emails you did not ask for.

Cookies

We only use what is needed to make the site work: a sign-in session so you stay logged in, and storage in your own browser for things like your order list. There are no advertising or third-party tracking cookies, which is why you are not being pestered by a cookie pop-up.

Who helps us run the site

We use trusted service providers to host the site, store its information securely and send account emails such as your verification link. They act on our instructions only. Where restaurant ratings are shown from Google, those come from Google's own public listings.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you can ask us for a copy of what we hold about you, have it corrected, or have your account and reviews deleted. Just ask and we will sort it, normally within a month. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk) if you are unhappy with how we have handled your information.

We keep your account information for as long as you have an account. You can delete your account yourself from My account: your login, email, name and preferences are erased, and your dish ratings stay but become anonymous. Ask us if you would also like your ratings removed.
