1. Principles of Data Collection

We believe in minimal data processing. We solely gather information strictly necessary to maintain editorial integrity, optimize technical web performance, and address user inquiries. The categories of information we collect include:

  • Direct Inquiry Data: When you complete our contact form, we collect your name, email address, topic, and message content to respond to your queries.
  • Automated Telemetry: Log files including Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, referral paths, timestamps, and page engagement statistics.
  • Cookie Data: Session flags and analytical identifiers stored locally on your device in accordance with your preferences.

2. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR Compliance)

Under the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we process personal data under the following legal bases:

  • Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR): Applicable when you willingly consent to non-essential analytics cookies or register for direct culinary newsletters.
  • Legitimate Interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR): Necessary for technical debugging, preventing fraud, ensuring network security, and understanding editorial readership trends.
  • Contractual Obligations (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR): Applicable when addressing user requests or fulfilling editorial service agreements.

3. Third-Party Processors and Hosting

We do not sell, rent, or lease personal information to brokers or advertising networks. We engage vetted cloud infrastructure providers for web hosting, content delivery, and spam prevention. These sub-processors are bound by standard contractual clauses ensuring that data processing conforms strictly with European data protection laws.
