2 Information We Collect

Because Pizza Delivery Choice Hub is a purely informational website with no user accounts, shopping carts, or transactional features, we collect only minimal technical data that is standard across most websites.

2.1 Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, our web server and any analytics tools we use may automatically collect the following:

Data Type Examples Purpose
Log Data IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, time spent Security, performance monitoring, error diagnosis
Device Data Screen resolution, device type (mobile/desktop/tablet) Responsive design optimization
Usage Data Pages viewed, navigation paths, time on page, clicks Content improvement and analytics
Cookies Session identifiers, preference flags Website functionality (see Section 5)

2.2 Information You Provide Voluntarily

Our website does not currently include contact forms, newsletter sign-ups, or account registration. If you contact us via the email address listed in our About page, we will receive any personal information you include in that communication, such as your name and email address. We use such information solely to respond to your inquiry.

2.3 Information We Do NOT Collect

3 How We Use Information

We use the limited information collected solely for the following purposes:

  • Operating the Website: Ensuring pages load correctly, diagnosing technical errors, and maintaining server performance.
  • Improving Content: Understanding which articles, comparisons, and guides are most useful to visitors so we can improve and expand them.
  • Security: Detecting and preventing fraudulent activity, bot traffic, or unauthorized access attempts.
  • Analytics: Aggregated, anonymized analysis of how visitors navigate the site to inform editorial decisions.
  • Communication: Responding to direct inquiries sent to our contact email.

4 Legal Basis for Processing

For visitors in jurisdictions where a legal basis for data processing is required (such as the European Economic Area under GDPR), we rely on the following:

  • Legitimate Interests: Processing server log data for security, performance, and fraud prevention constitutes a legitimate interest that does not override your fundamental rights.
  • Consent: For optional analytics cookies (if applicable), we rely on your consent, which you may withdraw at any time by adjusting browser settings.
  • Contract Performance: If you contact us directly, processing your inquiry requires using the contact information you provided.

6 Third-Party Services

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.

Third-party services that may be integrated into our website (such as analytics providers or content delivery networks) operate under their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with.

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.
  • Analytics Data: Aggregated analytics data may be retained for up to 26 months to identify longer-term usage trends. Individual session data is anonymized sooner.
  • Email Correspondence: Inquiry emails are retained for as long as necessary to resolve the matter and for a reasonable period afterward, generally no longer than 2 years unless legally required.
