Privacy Policy

NewYorkEatsguide is a small independent directory of New York City restaurants, cafes, bakeries, and bars. When you visit our site, we collect a limited amount of information automatically — the pages you view, the general geographic region your visit came from, the type of device and browser you use, and the site that referred you to us. This helps us understand which listings are useful, which neighborhoods people are exploring, and where the site could work better. We do not attempt to identify individual visitors from this data, and we do not sell or share it with advertisers or third-party data brokers.

If you contact us through our contact form, subscribe to updates, or submit a restaurant for listing, you share information voluntarily — typically your name, your email address, and whatever message or details you send us. We use that information only to reply to you, verify listings, and follow up if you have asked for a response. We keep contact submissions for as long as they are useful for correspondence, and we delete them on request. We never publish your email or personal contact details on the site, and we do not add you to any newsletter you did not explicitly sign up for.

The interactive map on our site is powered by OpenStreetMap tiles and standard web mapping libraries. When the map loads, your browser makes requests to those third-party services, which have their own privacy practices. We do not embed advertising trackers, cross-site profiling scripts, or fingerprinting tools. We use basic first-party cookies and browser storage only where they are necessary for site functionality — for example, to remember a language preference you have selected. You can clear or block these at any time in your browser settings without breaking the site.

You have the right to ask what information we hold about you, correct anything that is wrong, and request that we delete your data. You can reach us at any time using the contact form or by email at hello@newyorkeatsguide.com, and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe. This policy may be updated occasionally as the site evolves or as legal requirements change, and any material changes will be reflected at the top of this page with a revised date. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the current version of this policy.
