FlavorCompass Editorial Ltd. respects your privacy and is dedicated to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy details how we collect, handle, and secure your information when you browse our culinary articles and contact our editorial team.
FlavorCompass Editorial Ltd. acts as the data controller responsible for the personal data collected through FlavorCompass. If you have questions about how your information is handled, or if you wish to exercise your data protection rights, you can reach our data compliance desk by sending an email to [email protected].
Personal information is handled under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 and relevant regulations applicable within United Kingdom. Where this document and national laws differ, the statutory legislation takes precedence.
We collect personal data through three principal channels: direct correspondence, automated server logging, and optional analytics cookies. When you complete our contact form or comment on an article, we receive your name, email address, and message text. When you navigate the website, our servers automatically log technical metadata such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, and visit timestamps. With your explicit consent, analytics cookies capture aggregate interactions with our recipe guides.
We process your personal information to maintain site security, resolve technical glitches, respond to editorial inquiries, and evaluate readership trends. The legal grounds for this processing include our legitimate business interest in delivering stable cultural journalism, the necessity of answering user inquiries, and compliance with statutory obligations. For the deployment of analytical cookies and tracking scripts, we process your information exclusively on the basis of your explicit consent.
FlavorCompass Editorial Ltd. retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the objectives described in this policy. Contact form communications are archived for up to twelve months to resolve follow-up inquiries. Server access logs are routinely overwritten within ninety days for operational security. Anonymous analytics records are kept according to data minimization principles and do not retain identifiable personal markers.
To deliver our digital publication, we engage trusted technical service providers, including cloud hosting facilities, content delivery networks, and web analytics platforms. These external vendors process limited data solely on our behalf under strict confidentiality agreements and data processing protocols. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to marketing brokers or independent commercial entities.
Under applicable privacy legislation, you have the right to request access to your personal data, seek rectification of erroneous records, demand erasure of your personal files, and object to or restrict specific processing operations. Where processing relies on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without adverse effect. To exercise any of these legal rights, please contact our privacy desk at [email protected].
