Privacy Policy

What we store

Clean Eats NYC stores a small amount of data only in your browser using localStorage. Nothing is sent to a server we control:

• Favorites — restaurants you save to your favorites list.
• Alert preferences — neighborhoods or alert types you've set up (currently a local-only stub; no emails are actually sent).
• Sign-in email — if you've used the sign-in form, your email is saved locally only. There is no real account system yet.
• Google API key — if you've added one in Settings.
• Cached restaurant data — Google place ratings and photos for restaurants you've viewed, kept for 30 days to reduce repeat API calls.

What we don't do

• No analytics or tracking pixels.
• No advertising cookies.
• No selling or sharing of any data with third parties.
• No accounts on our servers — there are no servers we run that hold your information.

Third-party services

When you open a restaurant detail dialog, we may call the Google Maps Places API to fetch the restaurant's rating and photo. Google may set its own cookies as part of that request — those are governed by Google's privacy policy.

The site is hosted on Firebase Hosting (Google), which logs standard HTTP request information for security and operational purposes.

Inspection data source

Restaurant inspection data is sourced from NYC Open Data (DOHMH dataset 43nn-pn8j) and is publicly available.

Clearing your data

You can clear all locally stored data at any time:

• Browser settings → Clear site data for cleaneatsnyc.com.
• Or open the Settings dialog on the site → Clear cache.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect data from children.
