Privacy Policy
MenuPals is an unofficial, ad-supported menu browsing website. We do not offer user accounts and we do not intentionally collect personal details like your name or email through site forms.
1. Who We Are
MenuPals ("MenuPals," "we," "us," or "our") provides a free website at menupals.com to browse restaurant menu, nutrition, ingredient, and allergen information. We are based in California, USA.
2. Information We Collect
Because MenuPals has no user accounts, we do not directly collect profile data from users. We and our service providers may process:
- Technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, and approximate location derived from IP.
- Usage data such as page views, referral source, and interactions with pages and links.
- Cookie and similar tracking data used by analytics and advertising providers.
3. How We Use Information
- To operate, maintain, and improve MenuPals.
- To understand website traffic and performance.
- To support advertising that helps keep MenuPals free to use.
- To protect the site and comply with legal obligations.
4. Analytics, Advertising, and Third Parties
MenuPals uses Google Analytics and ad platform technologies. Those providers may use cookies or similar technologies to collect usage and device information over time, including across different websites.
We do not sell your name, email, or account profile data because we do not collect those details. However, certain ad-tech data sharing may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" under California law.
5. Your Privacy Rights (EEA/UK and California)
If you are in the EEA/UK, you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict, object, or request portability of personal data, subject to legal exceptions.
If you are a California resident, you may have rights to know, delete, and correct personal information, and to opt out of sale/sharing.
To request privacy rights or opt-out support, email menupalsweb@gmail.com with the subject line "Privacy Request." We will respond as required by applicable law.
6. Data Retention
MenuPals does not maintain user account records. Technical and analytics/ad-related logs may be retained by our hosting, analytics, or ad partners under their own retention policies.
7. International Visitors
MenuPals is operated from the United States. If you visit from outside the U.S., your information may be processed in the U.S. or other jurisdictions where our providers operate.
8. Children's Privacy
MenuPals is a general audience website and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
