Fat Guy From Brooklyn (fatguyfrombrooklyn.com, “the Site,” “we,” “us”) is a food and restaurant blog run by Roman in Brooklyn, New York. This policy explains what information the Site collects when you visit, how it is used, who it is shared with, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to this policy.
Information We Collect
Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, we and our partners may collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, language, referring website, pages viewed, and time spent on the Site. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies.
Information you choose to give us. If you leave a comment, contact us, or sign up for updates, we collect what you provide, such as your name, email address, and the content of your message or comment.
We do not sell your information for money. Some sharing for advertising purposes may count as a “sale” or “sharing” under certain US state privacy laws; see Your Privacy Rights and Choices below.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small files stored on your device. The Site and its partners use them to keep the Site working, measure traffic, remember preferences, and show ads, including ads based on your interests.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the Site works. Visitors in regions covered by European privacy law will see a consent banner, and anyone can update ad preferences through the Manage Preferences link in the site footer when it is available.
Advertising
The Site works with Journey by Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising. Mediavine and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as your IP address, operating system and version, device type, website language, and browser type in order to serve and measure ads, including personalized ads.
Mediavine’s required disclosure and a link to its partners’ data and privacy policies appear in the Mediavine Programmatic Advertising section of this page. For a full list of partners, visit Mediavine Partners.
Analytics
The Site uses Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and Google Site Kit to understand how visitors find and use the Site. These tools collect information such as pages visited, time on page, general location, device, and how you arrived. We use this only in aggregate to improve the Site.
You can learn how Google uses this data at How Google uses information from sites that use its services, and opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Comments, Contact and Email
If you comment on a post, we collect the name, email address, and website you enter, plus your IP address and browser information to help detect spam. Your comment and name may be shown publicly. Your email address is never published.
If you email us or use a contact form, we use your information only to reply. If you sign up for email updates, we use your address only to send those updates, and you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.
Third-Party Links and Embedded Content
Posts may link to restaurant websites, reservation platforms, social media, and other sites, and may include embedded content such as Instagram posts, maps, or videos. Embedded content behaves as if you visited the other site, and those sites may collect data about you. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites; please review their policies.
Your Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on your state (including California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut and others), you may have the right to know what personal information is collected, to access, correct, or delete it, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of your information for targeted advertising.

You may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time.
