Last updated: September 15, 2025

The Food Prices (“we”, “our”, “us”) provides information about fast-food and restaurant menu prices worldwide. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights. If you have questions, email us at [email protected].

Quick summary

  • We don’t create user accounts and we don’t offer in-site purchases.
  • We use essential cookies and analytics (Google Analytics 4). We may show ads (e.g., Google AdSense/Ad Manager).
  • We don’t sell personal data. You can opt-out of personalized ads and analytics (see “Your choices”).

What data we collect

  • Technical & usage data: IP address, device and browser info, pages viewed, timestamps, referrers, approximate location (city/region) - collected via server logs and analytics.
  • Cookies & similar tech: small files used for core site functions, analytics and advertising measurement/personalization.
  • Contact data (if you email us): your email address and the content of your message.

Why we use your data (purposes)

  • Operate and secure the website (fraud/abuse prevention, debugging).
  • Understand traffic and content performance (analytics, aggregate statistics).
  • Show and measure advertising (where enabled).
  • Respond to inquiries and legal requests.

Legal bases (EEA/UK)

  • Legitimate interests for basic analytics, site security and performance.
  • Consent where required for non-essential cookies/ads personalization.
  • Legal obligation where we must retain certain information.

Cookies

We use the following categories:

  • Strictly necessary (security, load-balancing, sessionless preferences).
  • Analytics (Google Analytics 4) - helps us understand visits and popular pages.
  • Advertising (e.g., Google AdSense/Ad Manager) - to serve, cap frequency, and measure ads; may personalize ads if you allow it.

You can control cookies in your browser and via our consent banner (where shown). Blocking non-essential cookies may affect analytics or ad personalization but won’t block access to content.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) with IP anonymization where available and data retention limits consistent with reporting needs. Learn more and opt out: GA Opt-out and How Google uses info.

Advertising

We may use Google AdSense/Ad Manager to show ads. Google and partners may use cookies or device identifiers to deliver and measure ads. Manage your ad settings here: Google Ad Settings and My Ad Center.

Data sharing

  • Service providers (e.g., hosting, analytics, ad networks) under contracts that require appropriate safeguards.
  • Legal and safety when required by law or to protect rights and users.
  • We do not sell personal information.

International transfers

Our hosting and primary data processing currently operate in the EU. Third-party providers (e.g., Google) may process data in multiple regions with appropriate safeguards (e.g., SCCs).

Data retention

  • Server logs: typically up to 90 days, unless longer is needed for security or investigations.
  • Analytics: retained per GA4 settings to support trend analysis (aggregated reporting).
  • Emails: as long as needed to handle your inquiry and for recordkeeping.

Your rights

Your rights depend on where you live and may include:

  • Access, correction, deletion of your personal data.
  • Objection or restriction to certain processing (e.g., analytics/ads where consent applies).
  • Portability (where applicable).
  • Withdraw consent at any time (does not affect prior processing).

To exercise rights, contact: [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before acting on your request.

Region-specific disclosures

California (CPRA): We don’t “sell” personal information as defined by CPRA. We may “share” identifiers for cross-context behavioral advertising when you consent; you can opt out via our consent tools and the links in “Advertising.” You have the right to know, delete, correct, and limit use of sensitive personal information (we don’t intentionally collect SPI). You can submit requests at [email protected].

Browsers may send a “Do Not Track” signal. We currently don’t respond to DNT signals due to industry standards not being finalized. Use the opt-out tools listed above.

Children

Our site is not directed to children under 13 (or under the age required by local law). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
