Privacy Policy

TaiwanDish requires no account. This policy explains location, favorites, trips, cookies and browser storage, and the connection information received by map and image providers.

Accounts and personal information

There is no registration, login or member database. We do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, password or social account. Browsing venues and planning trips require no identity verification.

Location and maps

Nearby discovery uses your browser’s location permission. The app keeps returned coordinates in memory to display your position and calculate distances. It does not put device coordinates in shared URLs or persistent storage, or upload them as location records. You can revoke location permission in your browser’s site settings.

Map tile requests reveal the area you are viewing, including a map centered on your location. How your browser and operating system obtain a location is governed by their own services and policies.

Cookies and browser storage

The app currently sets no login, analytics or advertising cookies. The features below use browser storage rather than cookies; disabling cookies does not automatically erase this data.

localStorage keeps favorite venues, trips and language preferences. sessionStorage keeps the language choice for the tab’s browsing session. These records do not automatically sync to an account or another device.

IndexedDB stores lists you explicitly download for offline use. The site also automatically caches venue data and the offline page in Cache Storage and registers a service worker for offline reopening. Removing a download does not erase favorites, trips or other caches.

Persistent records have no app-defined expiry and remain until removed or cleared by the browser. sessionStorage normally ends with the tab’s session. To remove all local records, clear this site’s website data and offline storage in browser settings; clearing cached images or files alone may be insufficient. This removes this browser’s favorites, trips, language preferences and downloads.

Hosting and third-party services

Cloudflare Pages serves this site. Connections disclose network information such as your IP address, browser details and requested URL to the host, which may process connection and security logs under its own policies.

Maps connect to OpenStreetMap or the configured map provider. Some venue images load directly from publishers or image CDNs without requiring an external-link click. These services receive connection information and may use cookies or caches according to their policies and your browser settings.

Opening directions, image search or a source link passes the selected venue, address or route stops to the relevant service. Its privacy policy applies after you leave this site. Manage third-party cookies through your browser settings.

Sharing favorites and trips

Favorites and trips normally stay in this browser. Creating a share link encodes selected venues and trip arrangements in its URL. Trip dates and notes are excluded by default and included only when you choose to share them. Anyone with the link can read its contents; avoid sensitive information.

Shared URLs may remain with recipients, messaging services, browser history and hosting request logs. Clearing local data does not revoke shared links or remove copies saved by others.

Analytics and advertising

Google Analytics (GA4), Meta Pixel and advertising trackers are currently inactive, and the site does not embed ad networks. Search Console reports Google Search visibility and indexing; ownership verification itself installs no analytics cookies and does not send your favorites or trips.

Before enabling optional analytics, we will update this policy and provide ways to accept, reject and withdraw consent. Declining optional analytics will not prevent use of the food map.
