Privacy Policy
The Manhattanight is a curated guide to Manhattan dining and nightlife. This page says plainly what we collect, why we keep it, and the choices you have. It is written in normal English on purpose.
01 · What we collect
When you read The Manhattanight we log the basics any website does: the pages you open, the rough location of your connection (city level), the browser and device you use, and how you arrived at the site. If you write to the desk, we keep your email address and whatever you send us for as long as we need it to reply and keep the record straight.
02 · Why we keep it
We use what we collect to keep the wire running: to see which rooms and indexes get read, to fix what breaks, to stop abuse, and to answer the messages you send. We are an editorial guide, not a data broker. Nothing is sold, rented, or handed to a third party for its own use.
03 · Cookies and storage
The site sets the minimum storage it needs to work: a record of your login session when you sign in, and standard analytics cookies that count visits without naming you. You can clear any of it from your browser at any time and the site will still read the same.
04 · Outbound links
Entries and alerts link out to maps, venues, and other sites we do not control. Once you leave The Manhattanight, their rules apply, not ours. We link to a room because it is worth knowing, not because we have vetted its own privacy terms.
05 · How long we hold it
Server logs are kept only long enough to keep the site honest, then dropped. Messages you send the desk are kept for the life of the conversation and then archived or deleted on a normal schedule.
06 · Your rights
You can ask what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Write to the desk and we will answer, usually within thirty days. We will not share what you send unless the law compels us to.
07 · Children
The Manhattanight is written for adults who go out in Manhattan. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect anything from anyone under sixteen.
08 · Changes
When this policy changes, the date below moves with it. Something material will be called out on the wire so you can see what shifted.
