Privacy Policy
Who We Are
Our website address is www.foodunderfire.com.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data provided in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection. We use the Akismet service to help reduce spam. You can learn more about how your comment data is processed here.
An anonymized string (or hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. The Gravatar privacy policy can be found here. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, we recommend avoiding images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the site.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so that you don’t have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content, such as videos, images, or articles. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you had visited those websites directly. These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to the third-party website.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely to enable automatic approval of follow-up comments, rather than holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you’ve provided. You can also request that we delete any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Mailing List
- Who Holds Your Data?
We use Mailchimp to manage our email list and send out blog updates. Your data is stored by Mailchimp, not by Food Under Fire. By signing up for our email list, you consent to us sharing your data with Mailchimp for this purpose. Your data may be stored outside the UK and the European Union. - What Do We Do With Your Data?
Your email address is used exclusively to send you blog updates. We do not sell or share your information with third parties. - What Data Do We Hold?
The only information we request is your email address, though you may also choose to provide your name, which allows us to personalize the emails we send you. - What Usage Data Is Collected?
Mailchimp tracks how many of our emails you open, whether you click on any links within the emails, and which device you use to read them in order to properly format the email. - How Can You Unsubscribe?
You can unsubscribe at any time by using the link included in all of our emails. Unsubscribing will stop emails from being sent to you immediately.
WordPress.com Stats
Food Under Fire uses an internal page tracking system managed by Automattic, the parent company of WordPress. This system collects data such as your IP address, user agent, referring URL, timestamp, browser language, and country code for the sole purpose of gathering accurate page view statistics. Food Under Fire only has access to the total page view count and does not have access to the other data collected. This information is stored by Automattic for 28 days and is used exclusively for this purpose. This practice complies with European privacy regulations, as the data is not used for purposes like targeted advertising.
