Privacy Policy

Jack In the Box Menu (“we”, “the site”) is a read-only information site. This policy explains, in plain language, what happens to your data when you use it.

What we do not collect

• There are no accounts, sign-ups, comment forms or payment features.
• The site shows no ads, does not use advertising cookies and does not sell or share data for advertising. It does use Google Analytics to count visits (see “Analytics” below).
• Your searches and filter choices stay in your browser and in the page address (for example ?q=fries). They are not stored by us.

What happens automatically

Like any website, our hosting infrastructure receives standard technical information with each request, such as your IP address, browser type and the page requested. This is used to deliver the page, keep the site secure and diagnose faults, and is kept only as long as the hosting provider’s logs require.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4, a service from Google, to see which pages are visited and how people reach them, so we can improve the site. When a page loads, your browser contacts Google and Google Analytics sets cookies on your device. Google receives your IP address, browser and device details, the page you viewed and the page you came from. We see only combined reports. We do not combine this with any account, because the site has none, and we do not use Google Analytics for advertising. Google’s own privacy policy applies to the data it receives.

To opt out, you can block the analytics script or cookies in your browser, or install Google’s Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Email

If you email [email protected], we receive the address and message you send and use them only to reply and to act on your request. We do not sell or share them.

Location and the near-me finder

The near-me finder works in your browser. If you choose “Use my location”, your browser asks for permission and then works out the distances on your device. Your coordinates, and anything you type into the finder, are not sent to us and are not stored. They are not put in the page address either. To turn a ZIP code or a city into a point on the map, your browser downloads small public data files from this site; the file name reveals the first three digits of a ZIP code to our hosting provider, like any page request.

When the finder scrolls into view, the map in it requests map tiles from OpenFreeMap, a third-party service that uses OpenStreetMap data. That service can see your IP address and the area of the map you view, as any map provider does. The map does not load while you are reading the top of the page, and if it cannot load, the list of restaurants still works.

The “Open in Maps” button on the map, and the directions link on each restaurant, are ordinary links to Google Maps. Nothing is sent until you click one. The map button puts the centre point of your search (your location, if you used it, or the place you typed), rounded to about 100 metres, in the Google Maps address, so Google receives it when you click. Google’s own privacy policy then applies. The directions links name only the restaurant.

Third-party links

Some links lead to other sites (for example the brand’s PDFs or our price source). Those sites have their own privacy practices that we do not control.

Children

The site is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their personal information.

Changes

If we ever add advertising or any other feature that collects personal data, we will update this page before it goes live. Questions? Contact us.
