Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 24, 2026
ParmWorld (“we”, “us”) is a local restaurant discovery tool operated as part of Wisdom Digital Labs. This policy explains what information we collect and how we use it.
Information we collect
- Search queries. Addresses, cities, ZIP codes, and filter choices you enter to find restaurants.
- Location. If you tap “Use my current location,” your browser may share approximate coordinates with us for that search only. We do not continuously track your location.
- Favorites. Saved restaurants are stored in your browser’s local storage on your device. They are not uploaded to our servers.
- Digest newsletter. If you subscribe, we store your email, frequency (weekly or monthly), location (and coordinates), protein preference (including all proteins), and distance radius so we can send area digests. We send a confirmation email first (double opt-in). Each digest includes an unsubscribe link.
- Technical logs. Like most websites, our servers may log IP address, user agent, and request URLs for security and debugging.
How we use information
- To return restaurant results near the place you searched.
- To detect changes in your digest area (new restaurants in search results, Parm Score moves, newly offered delivery) and email those updates if you opted in.
- To improve reliability and fix bugs.
- We do not sell personal information.
- We do not use your location for advertising.
Third-party services
Search results use the Google Places API (Google Maps Platform). Ratings, review counts, photos, hours, and related place details shown on ParmWorld come from Google. The map view uses the Google Maps JavaScript API. That Google Maps content is also governed by the Google Maps Platform Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy. Restaurant photos are requested from Google when a page needs to display them and may be cached temporarily (up to 7 days) so we do not re-fetch the same image on every visit. Optional Foursquare verification may match places against Foursquare’s directory. Those providers process requests under their own terms and privacy policies.
Cookies and local storage
We use browser local storage for favorites. We do not set advertising cookies.
Your choices
- You can deny location permission in your browser; search still works with a typed address or ZIP.
- You can clear favorites by removing them in the app or clearing site data in your browser.
- You can unsubscribe from digests via the link in every email, or email [email protected].
