Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Depending on how you use the Service, we may collect:

• Search and activity information, including search terms, normalized queries, filters, search results, result counts, provider timing and availability, clicks, and pages or Pizza1 entity pages viewed.
• Location information, including a city, state, or ZIP code you enter, coordinates generated from a location search, or browser location you voluntarily authorize for a “near me” search.
• Technical and device information, including IP address, browser or device information, session and request identifiers, referring information, network information, and ordinary server, security, and error logs.
• Storage and interaction information, including information maintained through browser session storage, cookies, or similar technologies used to operate, secure, measure, or improve the Service.
• Communications, including information you voluntarily provide if you contact us.

Pizza1 does not currently provide public user accounts.

2. Location Information

Pizza1 requests browser location only when you choose a location-based feature such as “near me.” Your browser controls whether location information is shared with us. If you authorize location access, your coordinates may be used to locate and rank nearby results and may be associated with anonymous or pseudonymous search analytics. Pizza1 does not continuously track your location in the background. You may decline location access and instead enter a city, state, or ZIP code, and you may revoke browser location permission through your browser or device settings.

3. How We Use Information

We may use information to:

• provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Service;
• process searches and identify or rank nearby results;
• understand how users interact with Pizza1Hub;
• diagnose errors and improve features and performance;
• protect against fraud, misuse, security threats, and excessive automated requests;
• maintain and analyze Service usage;
• operate and measure affiliate or referral features;
• comply with applicable law, legal process, and regulatory requirements; and
• enforce our terms and protect the rights, property, and security of Pizza1, our users, and others.

4. Service Providers and Third Parties

Pizza1 uses third-party services to operate certain features of the Service. Depending on the feature you use, information such as a search query, approximate or precise location, IP address, device information, or interaction information may be transmitted to or processed by these providers.

These services may include:

• Google Maps Platform;
• OpenStreetMap/Nominatim;
• GeoNames-derived geographic data;
• Bluehost;
• Cloudflare; and
• other hosting, security, analytics, search, mapping, or technology providers used to operate Pizza1Hub.

A locality lookup may also be resolved through a local GeoNames-derived database without transmitting that particular lookup to an external provider. Third-party providers process information subject to their own terms, privacy policies, and data practices.

5. Affiliate and External Links

Pizza1Hub may contain links to retailers, restaurants, products, services, creators, advertisers, or other unaffiliated third parties. Some links may be affiliate or referral links through which Pizza1 may receive compensation if you click a link, make a purchase, or complete another qualifying action. When you click an affiliate or other third-party link, the third party or its affiliate network may receive information relating to the referral, such as the referring page, IP address, browser or device information, cookie or tracking identifiers, and information concerning your interaction with the link.

Once you leave Pizza1Hub, your interaction with the third-party website or service is governed by that third party’s terms and privacy practices. Pizza1 does not control the privacy, security, or data practices of unaffiliated third parties.

6. How We Disclose Information

We may disclose information:

• to service providers and contractors that help operate, secure, analyze, or improve the Service;
• to mapping, geocoding, search, hosting, networking, analytics, affiliate, and referral providers as necessary to provide their functionality;
• when required by law, subpoena, court order, governmental request, or other legal process;
• when reasonably necessary to investigate fraud, abuse, security incidents, or violations of our terms;
• to protect the rights, property, safety, or security of Pizza1, our users, or others;
• in connection with an actual or proposed merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or transfer of all or part of our business; or
• with your direction or consent.

Pizza1 does not sell personal information for monetary consideration.

7. Cookies, Session Storage, and Similar Technologies

Pizza1 and its service providers may use browser session storage, cookies, logs, and similar technologies to operate the Service, maintain sessions, remember certain information, protect against abuse, understand Service usage, and support affiliate or referral functionality. You can control certain cookies and stored information through your browser settings. Disabling these technologies may affect some features of the Service. Pizza1 does not currently respond to traditional browser “Do Not Track” signals. If our data practices become subject to a legally recognized browser-based opt-out preference signal, we will process such signals as required by applicable law.

8. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, subject to legal, security, and operational requirements.

Currently:

• application analytics are generally retained on a rolling basis for up to 90 days;
• geocoding cache entries are generally retained for up to 30 days;
• IP addresses used in local rate-limiting files are retained only for the applicable short rate-limit period; and
• information maintained in browser session storage generally expires when the applicable tab or browser session ends.

Third-party service providers may maintain their own logs and records according to their respective retention practices and legal obligations.

We may retain information longer when reasonably necessary to investigate security incidents, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or protect our legal rights.

9. Data Security

Pizza1 uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information collected through the Service. However, no website, Internet transmission, electronic storage system, or security measure can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, Pizza1 cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or through the Service.

10. Your Choices and Privacy Rights

You may:

• use a typed city, state, or ZIP code instead of browser location;
• deny or revoke browser location permission;
• control cookies and stored information through your browser settings; and
• request information about, correction of, or deletion of information associated with your use of Pizza1Hub where applicable.

Depending on where you reside and applicable law, you may have additional rights concerning access to, correction of, deletion of, or use of your personal information. Pizza1 will honor applicable privacy rights as required by law. To make a privacy request or ask a privacy-related question, contact us at platform@pizza1hub.com. We may request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity and locate the relevant records.

11. Children

Pizza1Hub is a general-audience service and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 in circumstances requiring parental consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete the information.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time as Pizza1Hub, our technology, or our legal obligations change. When we make changes, we will post the updated Privacy Policy and revise the effective date above. Your continued use of the Service after an updated Privacy Policy becomes effective is subject to the revised Policy.
