What We Collect

IP Addresses

We collect your IP address when you:

• Vote on a cafe - to enforce our one-vote-per-week limit
• Submit a cafe suggestion - to enforce our one-submission-per-day limit

IP addresses are stored in our database. Vote records older than 7 days are no longer used for rate limiting but may remain in our logs.

Local Storage

We use your browser's local storage to remember if you've voted, so we can show you the appropriate interface. This data stays on your device and is not sent to our servers.

What We Don't Collect

• We don't use cookies for tracking or advertising
• We don't collect names, emails, or personal information
• We don't use analytics services
• We don't sell or share your data with third parties

Third-Party Services

We use third-party services to host and operate this website. These services may process your IP address in accordance with their own privacy policies.

Data Retention

Since we only collect IP addresses without any identifying information, we cannot link this data to specific individuals. IP-based vote records are automatically disregarded after 7 days.
