Privacy Policy | SpoonsMenu

01Who we are

SpoonsMenu (spoonsmenu.co.uk) is an independent information website. For the purposes of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, SpoonsMenu is the data controller for the limited personal data described in this policy.

We are not connected to J D Wetherspoon plc. Anything you do on the official Wetherspoon app or website, including ordering food or drink, is covered by their own privacy policy, not this one.

02What data we collect

You can read every page on this site without creating an account or giving us your name. The data we handle falls into three groups:

Data	Example	Why	Legal basis
Server logs	IP address, browser, page requested, time	Security, preventing abuse, fixing errors	Legitimate interests
Analytics	Pages viewed, approximate country, device type	Understand which guides help readers most	Consent where required, otherwise legitimate interests
Messages you send	Email address and the content of your email	Reply to questions and corrections	Legitimate interests

We do not knowingly collect special category data (such as health information) and we ask you not to send it to us. Allergy questions should go directly to the pub.

03Location finder

The pub finder on our locations page may ask your browser for your location. This only happens if you press the button and approve the browser prompt. Your coordinates are used inside your browser to sort results and are not stored on our servers.

04Cookies

We keep cookies to a minimum. Strictly necessary cookies may be set by our hosting provider to deliver pages securely. Analytics cookies, if used, are only set in line with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

No advertising or cross-site tracking cookies are set by us.
You can block or delete cookies at any time in your browser settings.
Blocking cookies will not stop the menu guides from working.

05Who we share data with

We never sell or rent personal data. We only use trusted processors that need data to run the site:

Hosting and content delivery provider, to serve pages and keep the site secure.
Analytics provider, to produce aggregated visitor statistics.
Email provider, to receive and reply to messages.

Some providers may process data outside the UK. Where this happens, we rely on UK adequacy regulations or the International Data Transfer Agreement to keep it protected.

06How long we keep data

Data	Kept for
Server logs	Up to 30 days
Analytics	Up to 14 months, aggregated
Emails	Up to 24 months, then deleted

08Children

This site is a general audience menu guide. It is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data. Pages mentioning alcohol are informational and intended for adults of legal drinking age.
