This Privacy Policy explains how Eating Together, an independent journal by InviteTo.Food, handles personal information when you visit inviteto.food or contact the journal.
Who is responsible
InviteTo.Food operates Eating Together and is the contact point responsible for privacy questions about this website. You can reach us at admin@inviteto.food or through the Contact page.
Information we collect
Messages you send. If you contact us by email, we receive your email address, the contents of your message and any information you choose to include.
Comments. If comments are enabled and you leave one, WordPress may collect the information shown in the comment form, together with your IP address and browser user-agent string for moderation, security and spam detection. If you choose to save your details for a later comment, WordPress may place a convenience cookie in your browser.
Technical information. The website and its hosting infrastructure may process IP addresses, request times, requested pages, browser information and security events in ordinary server logs. This information is used to deliver the site, diagnose faults, prevent misuse and maintain security.
How and why we use information
We use personal information to respond to messages, consider correction and rights requests, moderate any comments, operate the journal, protect the website and meet legal obligations. Depending on the circumstances, processing is based on our legitimate interests in publishing and securing the journal, taking steps you request when you contact us, your consent where it is specifically requested, or compliance with law.
Cookies and external services
Public journal pages do not currently use an advertising network, behavioural profiling or a newsletter sign-up form. We do not intentionally run third-party analytics on the public journal at the date shown above.
WordPress may use essential cookies for signed-in administration, security and comment preferences. The site also loads typefaces through Google Fonts. When your browser requests those files, Google may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser details and the requested resource under Google’s own privacy terms.
Sharing and international processing
We do not sell personal information. Information may be processed by service providers needed to host, secure and operate the website or deliver email. Those providers may process information outside your country. Where data-protection law requires safeguards for an international transfer, we expect the relevant provider to use an approved transfer mechanism.
How long we keep information
Contact correspondence is kept only for as long as it remains useful for the enquiry, editorial record, correction, rights issue or a related legal obligation. Approved comments and their metadata may remain with the associated article unless removal is appropriate. Security and server logs are retained according to the operational schedules of the website and hosting providers.
Your choices and rights
Depending on the law that applies to you, you may ask for access to, correction of, deletion of or restriction on the use of your personal information. You may also have rights to object, receive portable data, withdraw consent and complain to the data-protection authority in your country. These rights can be subject to legal exceptions.
To make a privacy request, email admin@inviteto.food. We may need enough information to confirm your identity and locate the relevant record.
Children
Eating Together is a general-audience editorial journal and is not designed to collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can review it.
Changes to this policy
We will revise this page before introducing a new collection practice such as newsletter registration, audience analytics or another service that materially changes how personal information is handled. The date at the top shows the latest update.
