1. What we collect
When you use the site, we may collect: information you give us directly, like your name and email when you subscribe to the newsletter, submit a listing, or send a message through the contact form; and information collected automatically, like your approximate location (city-level, from your browser or IP address) when you search for restaurants nearby, and basic usage data such as pages viewed and device type.
2. How we use it
We use this information to show relevant search results, respond to your messages, send the weekly newsletter to subscribers who opted in, verify and improve restaurant listings, and understand which parts of the site are useful so we can improve them.
3. Cookies & similar technology
The site may use cookies or local storage to remember basic preferences and to understand aggregate traffic patterns. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; doing so may make some features, like remembering your search filters, work less smoothly.
4. Sharing your information
We don't sell your personal information. We may share it with service providers who help us run the site (for example, email delivery for the newsletter), or when required by law. If a restaurant listing you submitted needs a follow-up, we may share your submission details with our verification team, but not publicly with the restaurant itself unless you ask us to.
5. Your choices
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in any email we send. You can ask us to tell you what personal information we hold about you, or to delete it, by reaching out through the contact page.
6. Data retention & security
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described here, or as required by law, and use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect it. No method of storage or transmission is perfectly secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security.
7. Children's privacy
Guidespot Info isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we'll remove it.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We'll update the "Last updated" date at the top when we do; significant changes will be noted on the site.
