Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2025
This Privacy Policy explains how Still Serving Food (operated at letsnarf.com) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit or use our website and search tool. By using this site you agree to the practices described below.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Search Data
When you use the restaurant search tool, we process the search terms you enter (restaurant name, location, and optional time filter). These queries are sent to our server to retrieve kitchen hours data from third-party sources. We do not permanently store individual search queries linked to identifiable users.
1.2 Log Data
Our hosting provider automatically collects standard web server log data, which may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and timestamps. This data is used for security monitoring and aggregate traffic analysis and is not shared for marketing purposes.
1.3 Cookies & Local Storage
We use browser sessionStorage to track whether you have used your free search
in the current session. No persistent tracking cookie is set by our own code for this
purpose. Third-party services (see below) may set their own cookies.
1.4 Payment Data
If you purchase a subscription, payment processing is handled by Stripe. We do not store or have access to your full card number. Stripe's privacy policy is available at stripe.com/privacy. We store only a subscriber token (a JWT) in your browser to verify your subscription status.
2. Google AdSense & Advertising
Still Serving Food uses Google AdSense to display advertisements on this website. Google AdSense is a third-party advertising service provided by Google LLC. Google may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to letsnarf.com and/or other sites on the internet.

Google AdSense may collect data including, but not limited to: device information, IP address, browsing history on sites displaying AdSense, and interaction with ads. This data is subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
3. Third-Party Services
The search tool integrates with the following third-party services to retrieve venue information:
- Firecrawl — web scraping service used to extract kitchen hours from restaurant websites. See firecrawl.dev/privacy.
- Google Places API — used to retrieve venue hours as a fallback. Subject to Google's Privacy Policy.

- Apify — used for social media scraping. See apify.com/privacy-policy.
4. Analytics
We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand aggregate site usage (e.g., which articles are most popular, what cities are searched most). If we use a third-party analytics provider, we will update this policy accordingly. We do not currently use Google Analytics.
