We collect what you choose to give us, plus a small amount of technical information.

• Contact form: your name, email address, phone number and message.
• Newsletter sign-up: your email address and, if you give them, your first and last name.
• App page: if you open our app download page, we count the visit (by device type and any campaign link you came from) and use Google Analytics for Firebase to measure how many people view it.
• Maps and store ratings: pages that show a map load it from Google, and store ratings come from Google. Google may receive your IP address and browser details when a map loads.
• Technical information: our hosting provider records standard server logs, such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested.
• Browser storage: we save your language choice in a cookie, and settings such as your preferred store, miles or kilometers, and light or dark theme in your browser. These stay on your device.

• To answer your messages.
• To send the newsletter, if you signed up for it.
• To understand how many people visit our app page.
• To keep the website working and secure.
• To show maps and store ratings.

• Google: hosting for this website, maps and ratings, and analytics for the app page.
• Mailchimp: manages the newsletter list and sends the sign-up confirmation email.
• Resend: delivers the emails that your contact form messages become.

These providers may only use your information to provide their service to us. We do not sell your personal information and we do not use it for advertising.

• Contact messages stay in our email for as long as we need to answer you and keep our business records.
• Newsletter details are kept until you unsubscribe.
• Server logs and analytics are kept according to our providers' schedules. For the app page we keep only daily counts, not who visited.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in every email.

To ask what we hold about you, to correct it, or to have it deleted, email admin@chicagofood.com. We may ask you to confirm it is you.

You can clear cookies and browser storage in your browser settings. The website will still work, but it may forget your language and preferences.

This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.

We use reasonable measures to protect the information we receive. No method of storing or sending information is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
