Privacy Policy
Who we are
Our website address is: https://www.thefoodius.com.
What personal data we collect
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment.
The site uses Disqus Comment System to power the entire commenting platform. You can read Disqus’ privacy policy here: https://help.disqus.com/en/articles/1717103-disqus-privacy-policy/.
Contact forms
The site uses WPForms as the default contact engine throughout the site. When submitting a contact form, we collect the information you fill up, including name, email address, and message. The WPForms privacy policy is available here: https://wpforms.com/privacy-policy/.
Email Subscription
The site uses Mailchimp for email subscriptions. Newsletters sent to visitors are delivered through Mailchimp. The Mailchimp privacy policy is available here: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/.
Cookies
Cookies are small pieces of data stored on the user’s computer by the web browser while browsing a website. We may use cookies to enhance the user experience. The data gathered is not disclosed to any third party.
Embedded content from other websites
The site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Links
The site regularly links to other websites and blogs. We are not responsible for the content served on these sites. Please read the privacy policy of the outgoing site.
Analytics
We use industry-standard analytics tools to measure the blog’s traffic stats, including the visitor’s IP address, location, ISP, system type, referrer information, and the date and time pages are loaded. Google Analytics and StatCounter are two such tools that we use.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
If you have any questions regarding our privacy policy, please feel free to contact us.
