Pizza Delivery Choice Hub may reference or link to third-party websites, pizza delivery platforms, or restaurant services. This privacy policy applies only to our website. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites.

6.1 Analytics Providers
If we use services like Google Analytics, those providers may collect and process data in accordance with their own terms. Google Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify individual users to us. For information on how Google handles analytics data, visit google.com/policies/privacy.

We retain data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy:
- Server Logs: Typically retained for 30–90 days for security and diagnostic purposes, then deleted or anonymized.
