We may disclose information when you direct us to do so, request a service involving a third party, or otherwise consent to the disclosure.

8. Advertising and Google services

LatestMenus.com may display advertisements provided by Google and other advertising partners. Advertising helps support the cost of creating, maintaining, and updating free informational content.

Google and other advertising providers may use cookies, web beacons, device identifiers, IP addresses, and similar technologies to serve, measure, limit, or personalize ads.

Depending on your location, consent preferences, and the configuration of our advertising services, advertisements may be personalized or non-personalized.

Personalized advertising

Personalized advertisements may be selected based on information such as previous visits to this website or other websites, general interests, approximate location, browser information, or device information.

Non-personalized advertising

Non-personalized ads may be selected using contextual information, including the content of the page, general location, device type, or current search terms. Non-personalized ads may still use cookies or similar technologies for frequency capping, aggregated reporting, security, and fraud prevention.

Google advertising cookies

Google may use advertising cookies to serve ads based on visits to this website and other websites. Where applicable, users may manage certain advertising preferences through Google’s advertising settings and available industry opt-out tools.

We do not control how third-party advertising providers process information after it is collected by their technologies. Their processing is governed by their own privacy policies, contractual terms, and applicable law.

Where legally required, advertising cookies and similar technologies will not be used until you provide the necessary consent through our consent management system.

9. Analytics and performance measurement

We may use analytics tools, including services provided by Google or other technology providers, to understand website usage and performance.

Analytics information may help us understand:

• How many visitors access the website.
• Which pages receive the most visits.
• How visitors move between pages.
• Which devices and browsers are commonly used.
• How quickly pages load.
• Whether visitors encounter errors.
• Which search engines or websites refer visitors.
• How content performs over time.

Analytics providers may collect information using cookies, pixels, scripts, device identifiers, or similar technologies. Where required, analytics will be subject to your cookie consent choices.

We may configure analytics services to reduce data collection where practical, including using aggregation, retention controls, consent settings, or other privacy-focused options.

10. Third-party links and restaurant information

Our pages may include links to restaurant websites, online ordering platforms, delivery services, social media pages, maps, reservation providers, menus, and other third-party resources.

When you click a third-party link, the third party may collect information from you according to its own privacy policy. We are not responsible for the privacy, security, accuracy, availability, or data practices of third-party websites and services.

Restaurant names, trademarks, menu items, prices, addresses, and related information are provided for informational and editorial purposes. The presence of a restaurant or brand on our website does not necessarily indicate sponsorship, endorsement, partnership, or affiliation.

Menu prices, availability, ingredients, hours, promotions, and policies can change without notice. Users should confirm important information directly with the applicable restaurant or official service.

11. Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Retention periods may depend on:

• The type and sensitivity of the information.
• The reason the information was collected.
• Whether the information is needed to provide a requested service.
• Legal, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements.
• Security, fraud prevention, and dispute resolution needs.
• Whether a legal claim or investigation is reasonably anticipated.

For example, we may retain communications for a reasonable period to document requests, resolve disputes, maintain editorial records, prevent abuse, and meet legal obligations.

When information is no longer needed, we may delete it, anonymize it, aggregate it, or securely isolate it until deletion is practical.

12. Data security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

These safeguards may include:

• Secure website connections using HTTPS.
• Access controls and account authentication.
• Hosting and infrastructure security measures.
• Software updates and vulnerability management.
• Spam, bot, and malicious traffic filtering.
• Limited access to personal information.
• Backups, monitoring, and incident response procedures.

No method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You should use caution when sending information by email because ordinary email may not be encrypted during every stage of transmission.

13. Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live and the laws that apply, you may have some or all of the following rights:

• Request confirmation that we process your personal information.
• Request access to personal information we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.

• Object to certain processing based on legitimate interests.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

• Submit a complaint to an applicable privacy or data protection authority.

Submitting a request

Please describe your request clearly and provide enough information for us to understand and process it. We may ask for additional information to verify your identity and protect your personal information.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right provided by applicable law.

In some circumstances, we may deny or limit a request where permitted by law. For example, we may retain information required for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, recordkeeping, or the establishment and defense of legal claims.

14. United States privacy rights

Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional privacy rights under state law. These rights vary by state and may be subject to exceptions, thresholds, and verification requirements.

Categories of information

During the preceding 12 months, we may have collected the following general categories of personal information:

• Identifiers, such as IP addresses, email addresses, cookie identifiers, and device identifiers.
• Internet or electronic network activity, such as browsing activity, page views, referrals, interactions, and device information.
• Approximate location information derived from an IP address.
• Commercial or interest information inferred by advertising providers from browsing activity.
• Communications and content submitted through email or website forms.
• Inferences used to understand likely interests or content preferences.

Sale, sharing, and targeted advertising

We do not sell personal information for money in the ordinary meaning of the word “sell.” However, some privacy laws define “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” broadly enough to include certain disclosures involving advertising cookies and similar technologies.

Depending on the technologies enabled on the website, advertising partners may receive identifiers, device information, approximate location, and browsing activity for advertising, measurement, fraud prevention, or personalization purposes.

Where required, you may opt out through our cookie consent or privacy preference tool, browser settings, supported preference signals, or by contacting us.

Sensitive personal information

We do not intend to collect sensitive personal information through ordinary use of the website. Please do not submit sensitive personal information through general contact forms or emails.

Authorized agents

Where permitted, you may designate an authorized agent to submit a privacy request on your behalf. We may require evidence of authorization and may contact you directly to verify the request.

15. EEA, United Kingdom, and Switzerland privacy rights

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, applicable data protection laws may provide rights relating to your personal data.

These rights may include:

• The right to access your personal data.
• The right to correct inaccurate personal data.
• The right to request deletion of personal data.
• The right to restrict processing.
• The right to object to processing based on legitimate interests.
• The right to object to direct marketing.
• The right to data portability.
• The right to withdraw consent.
• The right to complain to a supervisory authority.

You may lodge a complaint with the data protection authority responsible for your country or region. We encourage you to contact us first so that we have an opportunity to address your concerns.

When we rely on legitimate interests, we consider whether the processing is necessary, proportionate, and balanced against your rights and reasonable expectations.

16. International data transfers

Our website, hosting providers, advertising providers, analytics providers, and other service providers may operate in multiple countries.

As a result, information may be processed or stored in a country other than the country where you live. Privacy and data protection laws in those countries may differ from the laws in your jurisdiction.

Where required by applicable law, appropriate safeguards may be used for international transfers, such as contractual protections, adequacy decisions, consent, or other lawful transfer mechanisms.

17. Children’s privacy

LatestMenus.com is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. In jurisdictions where a higher age threshold applies, we do not knowingly collect personal information from children below that threshold without appropriate authorization.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us. We will review the request and take appropriate action consistent with applicable law.

18. Do Not Track and privacy preference signals

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is not a universally accepted standard for responding to all Do Not Track signals, our website may not respond to every such signal.

Where required by applicable law and supported by our technology, we may recognize browser-based privacy preference signals, such as a supported opt-out preference signal, as a request to opt out of certain data sharing or targeted advertising.

Preference signals generally apply to the browser or device from which they are sent. You may need to configure the preference separately on each browser and device you use.

19. Emails, forms, and user communications

When you contact us, we may retain your communication and related information to respond, document the request, improve our content, prevent abuse, and comply with legal obligations.

If you submit a restaurant correction, price update, menu image, screenshot, link, or other supporting material, we may use the information to review and improve our content.

Do not submit material that you do not have the right to share. Do not send confidential, proprietary, unlawful, defamatory, or privacy-invasive content.

Information submitted through email or forms should not be considered confidential unless we have expressly agreed in writing to treat it as confidential.

20. AI-assisted content and privacy

We may use artificial intelligence tools or automated systems to assist with research, drafting, formatting, categorization, quality review, image creation, or editorial workflows.

AI-assisted output may be reviewed, edited, corrected, or supplemented by human editors before publication. We do not intentionally publish private personal information obtained through AI tools.

Information you send to us may be processed using business productivity, security, analytics, or AI-assisted tools when reasonably necessary to respond to your request or operate the website.

Please do not submit sensitive personal information, confidential business information, passwords, financial account information, or government identification documents for AI-assisted review.

21. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our website, technologies, advertising practices, legal obligations, or business operations.

When we make changes, we may update the “Last updated” date near the top of this page. If required by law, we may also provide additional notice or request renewed consent.

We encourage you to review this page periodically. Your continued use of the website after an updated policy becomes effective is subject to the revised policy, to the extent permitted by law.
