Privacy Policy

This privacy policy describes how Food Gifting Guide handles information connected with this website. It is a practical site policy, not legal advice.

Information collected by this site

Food Gifting Guide is an editorial website. The current site does not include account creation, checkout, public comments, newsletter signup forms, or on-site payment collection.

Like most websites, the hosting provider may process basic technical information when pages are requested. That can include IP address, browser type, device information, referring page, requested URL, timestamps, and similar server-log information used for hosting, security, debugging, and performance.

Contact inquiries

If you contact the site owner or editorial team, the information you provide may be used to review and respond to the inquiry. That can include your name, email address, merchant name, page URL, correction details, first-hand feedback, rights questions, or partnership information. Do not send sensitive personal information unless specifically requested through an appropriate channel.

Outbound merchant links

Food Gifting Guide links to third-party merchant websites. When you click an outbound merchant link, you leave this site and the merchant's own privacy policy and terms apply. Some outbound links include campaign parameters such as source, medium, or campaign labels so merchants can understand referral traffic.

Food Gifting Guide does not control third-party merchant checkout pages, cookies, analytics, payment collection, account systems, shipping forms, or customer service processes.

Cookies and analytics

Food Gifting Guide may use Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate site usage, such as page views, referring pages, browser and device information, approximate location, events, and similar analytics data. Google Analytics may use first-party cookies or similar technologies to distinguish users and sessions.

The current codebase does not add an advertising pixel, newsletter tracker, or on-site cookie banner. Third-party services, browser settings, hosting infrastructure, analytics tools, or merchant sites may still use their own technologies outside this site's direct code.

If advertising, email signup, embedded media, or additional tracking tools are added later, this policy should be updated to describe those tools.

Data retention

Editorial inquiries may be retained as long as needed to respond, maintain records of corrections, evaluate merchant information, or handle rights questions. Hosting logs are retained according to the hosting provider's practices.

Updates

This policy may be updated when site features, hosting, analytics, merchant relationships, or contact processes change. The updated date on this page reflects the latest editorial revision.
