Privacy Policy

What we collect

This policy covers DineGuides (dineguides.com) and DineSpin (dinespin.app). Neither requires an account, and we do not collect your name, email, or any personal information. We collect anonymous usage data to understand how people use the sites and to improve the experience:

• Pages visited and time spent (via PostHog analytics)
• Anonymous session recordings to understand scrolling and navigation patterns (via PostHog)
• Basic performance metrics like page load times (via Vercel Analytics)

None of this data is tied to your identity. We cannot identify who you are from this data.

Bot detection

We use Cloudflare Turnstile to distinguish human visitors from automated traffic. Turnstile runs invisibly in the background and does not require any interaction. It may collect limited device and browser information to make its assessment. This data is processed by Cloudflare and is not used by us to identify you. You can learn more in the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

Cookies

We use a small number of cookies for analytics and to remember your language preference. Third-party services we use (PostHog, Mediavine Grow) may also set cookies. You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time.

Advertising

DineGuides may display ads through Mediavine or other ad partners. These partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on your browsing activity. Restaurant scores and rankings on DineGuides are never influenced by advertising. We do not accept paid placements.

Third-party services

We use the following third-party services:

• PostHog — analytics and session recordings
• Vercel — hosting, analytics, and performance monitoring
• Mediavine — advertising
• Cloudflare — bot detection (Turnstile) and content delivery

Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing how they handle data.

Data sharing

We do not sell your data. We do not share personal information with third parties because we do not collect personal information.
