Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 19, 2026

The short version

We collect as little data as possible. We don't require an account, we don't track you across the web, and we don't sell your information to anyone.

Information we collect

Location data: When you allow it, we use your browser's location to find restaurants near you. You can also manually enter a city instead. We use your location only to provide search results and do not store it on our servers.

Search queries: We process your search queries to return relevant results. We may keep anonymized, aggregated search data to improve the service, but we do not tie searches to individual users.

Usage data: Like most websites, our servers automatically log basic request information (IP address, browser type, pages visited) for security and debugging purposes.

What we don't do

  • We don't sell your personal information
  • We don't require you to create an account
  • We don't use tracking cookies for advertising
  • We don't share your data with data brokers

Third-party services

BiteFinder uses third-party services to provide search results and maps. When you click a link to a restaurant's website, Google Maps, or Yelp, you are subject to that site's own privacy policy. We also use OpenStreetMap's Nominatim service for location lookups.

Cookies

We use minimal cookies necessary for the site to function (such as caching search results for faster repeat searches). We do not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking.

Changes to this policy

If we make significant changes to this policy, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top. We encourage you to check back periodically.
