Privacy Policy
Last updated May 2026. This privacy policy explains what information Fast Bites Menu collects, how it's used, and the choices you have.
Overview
Fast Bites Menu is a public-facing content website that publishes menu, pricing, and nutrition information for U.S. fast food chains. The directory is browseable without an account, without a login, and without any required form submission. Most of our pages can be read with no personal information collected from you at all beyond standard server logs and the cookies set by display advertising partners.
Information we collect
When you visit Fast Bites Menu, our web servers automatically log basic technical information about your visit. This includes the URL you requested, the date and time of the request, your browser's user-agent string, the referring page if any, and your IP address. These server logs are retained for a limited period and used for site operations, security, abuse prevention, and aggregate analytics about which pages are popular. We do not log full request bodies or any other data you might submit through a form.
Beyond server logs, we use a privacy-respecting aggregate analytics tool that records page views, time on page, and aggregate device and country information. This tool does not set persistent cookies or track you across other websites. We use the resulting aggregate data to understand which chains and categories are most useful to readers and to prioritize updates accordingly.
Cookies
The Fast Bites Menu directory itself does not set tracking cookies. The display advertising partners we work with may set their own cookies to deliver relevant ads and to measure ad performance. These cookies are set by the ad partner, not by Fast Bites Menu, and are governed by the partner's own privacy policy. You can control or block third-party cookies in your browser settings, and most major ad networks publish their own opt-out tools for personalized advertising.
Advertising
Fast Bites Menu carries display advertising in clearly labeled ad slots. Ads are served by third-party ad networks, which may use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to deliver and measure ads. The information collected through advertising technologies is governed by the ad network's privacy policy. We do not share any information that personally identifies you with advertising partners. Ad placements do not influence our editorial directory; the chains and items we cover are selected based on national presence and reader demand, not on advertising relationships.
Data we do not collect
We do not require you to create an account to use Fast Bites Menu. We do not collect your name, address, phone number, payment information, or any other personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily send it to us — for example, by emailing us a correction or feature request. If you do email us, we use the information in your email only to respond to your inquiry and we retain it for the period needed to handle your request and for routine record-keeping. We do not sell email addresses or share them with third parties for marketing.
Children's privacy
Fast Bites Menu is a general-audience website. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at the address in our contact page and we will delete it.
Your rights
If you are a resident of California, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) including the right to know what personal information is collected about you, the right to request deletion of personal information, and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information. If you are a resident of the European Union or United Kingdom, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) including the right to access, rectify, or erase personal data we hold about you. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the address in our contact page.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be highlighted on the home page for a reasonable period after the change takes effect.
