    • This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit The Allergen Guide, how that information may be used, and the third-party services that may process information in connection with the website.
  2. Information We Collect
    • The Allergen Guide is primarily an informational, read-only website. We do not currently require visitors to create an account or provide their name, email address, or other personal information in order to access our content.
    • We may automatically receive limited technical and usage information when you visit the website, such as pages viewed, approximate geographic location, referring website, browser type, operating system, and device type.
    • We do not use this information to identify individual visitors.
  3. Analytics
    • We use Umami Analytics to understand how visitors use The Allergen Guide and to help us improve the website.
    • Umami is a privacy-focused analytics service designed to provide aggregate website statistics without using cookies for its standard analytics functionality.
    • Analytics data may include information such as page views, referring websites, browser type, operating system, device type, and approximate location.
    • We do not use analytics data for targeted advertising or to build advertising profiles about individual visitors.
  4. Website Hosting and Security
    • The Allergen Guide is hosted and delivered using Cloudflare.
    • Cloudflare may process technical information such as IP addresses, request information, and security-related data in order to deliver website content, maintain network security, prevent abuse, and protect the website from malicious traffic.
    • Cloudflare's processing of information is subject to its own privacy policies and practices.
  5. Forms and Information You Choose to Provide
    • The Allergen Guide may provide links to third-party forms, including Google Forms.
    • Our current forms do not request your name, email address, or other directly identifying contact information.
    • Any information that you voluntarily enter into a third-party form may be processed by the provider of that form in accordance with its own privacy policies.
  6. Third-Party Websites
    • The Allergen Guide may link to restaurants, Google Maps, Google Forms, and other third-party websites or services.
    • When you follow one of these links, you leave The Allergen Guide. We do not control the privacy practices, cookies, content, or data collection practices of third-party websites.
    • We encourage visitors to review the privacy policies of third-party websites they choose to visit.
  7. How We Use Information
    • Information collected through website analytics and hosting services may be used to operate, maintain, secure, and improve The Allergen Guide.
    • We may use aggregate information to understand which content is most useful to visitors and how visitors navigate the website.
    • We do not currently sell personal information or use visitor data for targeted advertising.
  8. Data Retention
    • Technical and analytics information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, analyze, and improve the website.
    • Retention periods may also depend on the practices of third-party service providers such as Cloudflare and Umami.
  9. Children's Privacy
    • The Allergen Guide is a general-audience informational website and is not specifically directed toward children.
    • We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through user accounts or registration because those features are not currently offered.
  10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
    • We may update this Privacy Policy as The Allergen Guide changes or as we add new services, features, or third-party providers.
