We collect two main types of information:

  • Business Information: Publicly available data about restaurants and other businesses, including names, addresses, inspection results, and related details.
  • Analytics Information: When you use our website, we (or our service providers) automatically collect data such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and how long you spend on the site. We use cookies or similar technologies for this.

We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not knowingly collect personal contact information such as names, emails, or phone numbers from visitors.

2. How We Use Information
