At Ramen NYC, your privacy is super important to us. We’re a ramen-loving, community-first project, and we want you to feel confident and informed about how your data is used.
What We Collect
When you browse our site, sign up for our newsletter, or submit a blog or event, we may collect personal information such as your name, email address, and any optional details you choose to share. We also use Google Analytics and Firebase to understand usage and improve our services.
How We Use It
- Send you updates and newsletters (only if you sign up)
- Review your blog or event submissions
- Improve our website and app experience
- Ensure we’re building tools the community actually wants
We’ll never sell your information. We only share it with trusted services like Google Analytics or Firebase to help us run smoothly.
Cookies & Tracking
Like most websites, we use cookies to remember your preferences and track usage. These help us understand which ramen spots are getting love, so we can feature them better.
Google Analytics & Advertising Features
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) with Google Signals enabled to understand how visitors engage with our website and app. This allows us to view aggregated and anonymized data such as approximate age range, gender, interests, device type, and general location. These insights help us improve Ramen NYC and tailor content to our community’s interests.
We also enable ads personalization and remarketing features, which means Google may associate information about your visit with your Google Account (if you’re signed in) and provide us with aggregated analytics on how users interact with our pages and campaigns. Ramen NYC does not receive or store personally identifiable information from this data.
You can control or opt out of Google’s personalized ads at any time by visiting Google Ad Settings or by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. These options let you manage how your data is used for analytics and advertising purposes.
Your Choices
- Unsubscribe from emails at any time
- Clear your browser cookies
- Contact us to request access, updates, or deletion of your data
Account Deletion
- Users can delete their account directly in the app by going to Profile → Settings → Delete Account.
- When an account is deleted, personal information such as your profile, photos, reviews, and activity history will be permanently removed.
- Some non-identifiable or aggregated data (e.g., analytics or error logs) may be retained for legal, security, or operational purposes.
- If you encounter any issues deleting your account, you may also contact us at hello@ramen-nyc.com for assistance.
Keeping It Safe
We use secure tools and trusted providers like Firebase to protect your data. We’re committed to keeping your information locked down.
Changes to This Policy
If anything changes in the future, we’ll update this page and let you know. We keep things transparent — no sneaky stuff.
