About Eating Baltimore

Eating Baltimore is a restaurant directory for the Baltimore area. We help visitors discover restaurants by neighborhood and cuisine and provide links and contact information that make it easier to learn more about local places to eat. This policy explains the limited information collected when you use the site and how that information is used. The restaurant directory can be browsed without creating an account or providing personal information.

Website Analytics and Advertising Measurement

Eating Baltimore uses Google Analytics 4, commonly called GA4, to understand how visitors find and use the site. We also use the Meta Pixel to measure traffic and advertising performance. These services may set cookies or use similar browser technologies. The information they collect helps us understand matters such as which pages are visited, how visitors move through the site, and whether an advertisement led to a visit. This measurement information is used to evaluate and improve the site and its promotion.

Newsletter Subscriptions

Visitors may choose to subscribe to the Eating Baltimore newsletter by entering an email address. The email address is sent to beehiiv, the platform used to manage and deliver the newsletter. We use a subscriber's email address only to send the Eating Baltimore newsletter. Subscribers can stop receiving the newsletter at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in any newsletter email.

Restaurant Submissions and Contest Entries

If you submit a restaurant or enter a contest through Eating Baltimore, we collect the information you choose to provide in the relevant form. We use that information to review and process the restaurant submission or to administer the contest entry for which it was provided. Please do not include information that is not needed for the form you are completing.

Cookies

Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel may place cookies in your browser as part of their traffic and advertising measurement services. Cookies are small files stored by a browser. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, although changing those settings may affect how some website features operate.

Sharing and Selling Information

Eating Baltimore does not sell personal information. Information is shared with beehiiv when a visitor asks to join the newsletter, and analytics or advertising measurement information is processed through Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel as described above.

Third-Party Links

The directory includes links to third-party restaurant websites, maps, and telephone numbers. Following a link, opening a map, or placing a call may take you to a service operated by someone else. Those third parties have their own privacy practices, and this policy does not describe or control how they handle information.

Your Choices

You do not have to subscribe to the newsletter, submit a restaurant, or enter a contest to browse the directory. You may unsubscribe from the newsletter through the link in any newsletter email. You may also use your browser controls to manage cookies.
