Privacy Policy

Last updated: 10 May 2026

This policy explains what information Makan Guru ("we", "us") collects when you use the website at makan.guru, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

We do not ask you to create an account or submit personal information to browse the site. The following may be collected automatically:

  • Log data: IP address, browser type, device info, referring URL, and timestamps — standard server-side request logs.
  • Cookies and similar tech: used by third-party services (see below) to remember preferences and measure performance.
  • Saved spots: stored in your browser's localStorage only — never sent to our servers.
  • Email address: only if you voluntarily send us a message.

Third-party services

We use the following third-party services, each governed by their own privacy policies:

  • OpenStreetMap / CARTO basemaps — supply the dark map tiles displayed on the homepage.
  • Google Maps / Places API — powers location data and the "Open in Google Maps" deep links.
  • Cloudflare — CDN and hosting. Collects request logs for security and performance.

Location

Your location is requested only when you tap the Near Me button. It is used once in your browser to find nearby spots and is never stored on our servers. You can decline the permission prompt and every other feature will still work.

Cookies

Makan Guru does not set first-party tracking cookies. Third-party services listed above may set their own. You can disable cookies in your browser settings — some features (like embedded maps) may not work correctly without them.

How we use information

  • To operate, maintain, and improve the site.
  • To find nearby spots when you tap Near Me.
  • To respond to emails you send us.

We do not sell your personal information.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you. To exercise these rights, email hello@makan.guru.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be noted by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
