What data we collect
We do not ask you to create an account and we do not collect personal details like your name, address, or phone number through the site.
Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically process basic technical information when you load the site (for example your IP address, device/browser type, and the pages requested). This information is typically used for security, performance, and troubleshooting.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how people use Pick My Takeaway. This helps us improve the site and understand which features are useful.
Google Analytics may collect information such as:
- Pages visited
- Time spent on the site
- General device and browser information
We do not use Google Analytics to identify you personally. IP addresses are anonymised and we do not enable advertising or remarketing features.
Google may process this information on our behalf in accordance with their own privacy policy.

Cookies
At the moment, Pick My Takeaway does not intentionally set marketing cookies.
If we add analytics or advertising in the future, we will update this policy and (where required) show a cookie banner or consent options.
Links to other websites (e.g. takeaway platforms)
Pick My Takeaway may link you to third-party websites (for example, takeaway ordering platforms). When you click those links, you are leaving our website. Third-party sites have their own privacy policies and cookie practices, and we are not responsible for them.
How we use data
If basic technical logs are processed by our hosting provider, they are used for:
- Keeping the website secure
- Preventing abuse and fraud
- Diagnosing technical problems
- Ensuring the site loads reliably
Legal basis (UK GDPR)
Where technical log data is processed, our lawful basis is usually legitimate interests (running and securing a small website). If we introduce optional analytics or marketing cookies in the future, we will rely on consent where required.
How long data is kept
We do not store personal profiles or accounts. Any hosting/security logs are retained for as long as our hosting provider keeps them for security and operational reasons.
