Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

What We Collect

Cuisine is designed with privacy in mind. We collect minimal data:

Dish preferences — stored entirely in your browser's local storage. We never see or store your dishes on our servers.
Search location — your zip code or address is sent to our server only to query the Yelp API for nearby restaurants. We do not log or store your location.

Third-Party Services

Foursquare Places API — when you search, your location is sent to Foursquare to find restaurants. Foursquare's own privacy policy governs their data handling.
Google AdSense — we display ads via Google AdSense. Google may use cookies and device identifiers to serve personalized ads. You can manage your ad preferences at Google Ad Settings.

Cookies

We do not set any first-party cookies. Third-party services (Google AdSense) may set cookies for ad personalization and analytics.

Data Storage

All your dish and ingredient data is stored locally in your browser using localStorage. If you clear your browser data, your saved dishes will be removed. We have no ability to access, recover, or transfer your locally stored data.

Children's Privacy

Cuisine is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date.
