Privacy Policy

Menu Prices AU (“we”, “us”) is an independent Australian guide to restaurant menus and prices, written by Sophie Bernard. This policy explains what personal information the site handles, why, and the choices you have. We aim to handle personal information consistently with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.

What We Collect — and What We Do Not

Browsing: you can read every menu, guide and tool on this site without an account, without signing in, and without giving us your name or email address. The site’s calculators keep their working state in the page only; your meal selections are not sent to us.

Email: if you email us (see Contact Us), we receive your email address and the contents of your message, and we use them only to reply and, for price corrections, to verify and fix the page concerned. We do not sell email addresses or messages, and we do not add people to a mailing list unless they ask to be added.

We do not collect: payment details (we sell nothing and take no orders), precise location, health information, or account passwords. The “Near Me” pages list stores near you; they do not track where you are.

Cookies & Analytics

This site is a static publication. It does not run advertising trackers or cross-site behavioural profiling. If privacy-respecting, aggregate analytics are added in future to count page views and improve coverage, this policy will be updated first to name the provider, what it measures, and how to opt out. Your browser settings can block or clear cookies at any time without affecting your ability to read the menus.

Third-Party Links

Pages link out to restaurant chains, delivery services and other sources so you can verify a price or place an order. Those sites have their own privacy policies and set their own cookies; we are not responsible for their practices. Nothing you enter on a chain’s ordering site comes to us.

Storage, Security & Retention

Email correspondence is kept only as long as needed to handle the enquiry or correction and maintain an accurate corrections record, then deleted. Access is limited to the site’s author. No system is perfectly secure, but we keep the data surface deliberately small: the less we hold, the less can go wrong with it.

Your Rights

You may ask what personal information we hold about you (in practice, emails you have sent us), ask for it to be corrected or deleted, and complain about how it was handled. Requests go through the Contact Us page; if a complaint is not resolved with us, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).

Children & Changes

This is a general-audience information site and is not directed at children; we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If this policy changes, the new version will be published on this page with a new “last updated” date, and material changes will be noted on the About Us page.
