Privacy at Tofu Watch
This page explains what happens to information about you when you read Tofu Watch or get in touch with us. The short version: very little is collected, nothing is sold, and you stay in control of what you send us. It applies to everything published at tofuwatch.com.
Who is responsible
Tofu Watch is run by a small editorial team. For anything related to this policy, write to mail@tofuwatch.com. Messages there are read by the editors themselves.
A static site without trackers
Tofu Watch is built as a set of static pages. There are no reader accounts, no comment system, no newsletter sign-up and no checkout. We do not use analytics software, advertising networks, social media plug-ins or tracking pixels, and we do not build profiles of visitors.
Your cookie choice
The first time you visit, a small notice asks about storage. Your answer goes into your browser's local storage, which is how the notice knows to stay closed afterwards. This entry contains only your choice. It is not sent to us, it does not identify you and you can remove it at any time by clearing site data in your browser settings. More detail is on Cookie Preferences Explained.
Hosting logs
Like any website, Tofu Watch is delivered by a hosting provider. To keep the service running and protect it against abuse, the provider's servers automatically record standard technical information when a page is requested: the IP address, the date and time, the page asked for, the referring address and the browser type. These logs are kept for a short period and are used only for security, troubleshooting and keeping the site available. We do not combine them with other data or use them to identify readers.
The legal basis for these logs is our legitimate interest in running a secure, working website.
When you email us
An email to the team reaches us with your address, any name you sign with and the contents you decided to write. The contact form on our site does not send anything by itself; it opens your own email program so you can review the message first. We use what you send only to read and answer it, to correct an article or to consider your suggestion. We keep correspondence for as long as it is useful for that conversation and delete it when it is no longer needed. Please do not send passwords, payment details or other sensitive information.
Links to other websites
Listings here often send you onward to venues, providers and other sites. Once you follow a link, the other site's own privacy practices apply, and we have no control over what it collects.
Your rights
Data protection law, including the GDPR in Europe, gives every reader these rights:
- learn if the Tofu Watch inbox holds anything about you, and see a copy;
- have inaccurate data corrected;
- have your data deleted;
- pause or challenge the way those details are handled;
- receive those details as a file you can carry to another service;
- complain to a data protection authority in the country where you live or work.
To use any of these rights, email mail@tofuwatch.com. We may ask a question to make sure a request really comes from you, and we answer within the time the law allows.
Children
Tofu Watch is a general-interest guide and is not aimed at children. Nothing on it is designed to gather details from younger visitors.
Changes
If the way the site works changes, for example if a new feature handles personal data, we will update this page first. You can also read our Terms for Visitors.
