Privacy Policy

What we collect, why, and your choices. Plain-English summary.

The short version

FoodServiceNerd is a content site. You can read everything without an account. We don't sell your personal information. We use basic analytics to understand what's useful, and standard server logs for security.

What we collect

Cookies

We use cookies/local storage for analytics and to remember display preferences (such as light/dark theme). You can block cookies in your browser; the site still works.

Third parties

The site is hosted and delivered through Cloudflare (hosting and CDN). We may use web-analytics providers and affiliate networks; when you follow an affiliate ‘where to buy’ link, the destination retailer’s own privacy policy applies once you leave our site. We don't sell or rent personal information.

Your choices & rights

Depending on where you live (e.g. the EU/UK under GDPR, or California under CCPA/CPRA), you may have rights to access or delete personal data and to opt out of certain processing. Contact us to exercise them.

Children

This site is intended for business operators and isn't directed to children under 13.

Changes & contact

We'll update this policy as needed and note the effective date. Questions: see Contact. Effective date: August 11, 2026.
