Privacy Policy

This policy explains how personal information submitted through this website may be handled.

Version 1.0 – 2026

Overview

About this policy

This privacy policy applies to the Practical Food Safety website at practicalfoodsafety.co.uk. It describes how personal information submitted through this website may be handled.

The website is operated by Food Safety Advice, a UK sole trader business trading as Practical Food Safety Press.

This policy covers information received through the website itself. It does not cover personal data processed in connection with purchases made through third-party platforms such as Etsy, which are governed by those platforms’ own privacy terms.

Information collected

What this website may receive

The website may receive personal information in the following circumstances:

  • When a visitor submits a contact form or direct enquiry.
  • When a visitor’s browser sends standard technical data as part of normal web server operation.

The website does not require account registration and does not routinely collect personal information from visitors who browse without submitting enquiries.

Use of information

How submitted information is used

Information submitted through the contact form or by direct enquiry is used only to respond to the enquiry concerned. It is not used for marketing purposes, shared with third parties for commercial use, or added to mailing lists without explicit consent.

The website contact form is processed through a third-party form handling service. Submissions may therefore be subject to that service’s own data handling terms in addition to this policy.

Retention

How long information is kept

Personal information submitted through enquiries is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to handle the enquiry and any related follow-up communication.

Third-party platforms

External platforms and links

Publications described on this website are sold through Etsy. Purchases made through Etsy are subject to Etsy’s own privacy policy and terms of service. The publisher does not receive or store payment information.

This website may contain links to external platforms and resources. The publisher is not responsible for the privacy practices of those external sites.

Your rights

Rights in relation to personal information

If you have submitted personal information through this website and wish to request access, correction, or deletion, you may contact the publisher using the website contact form.

Requests will be handled in accordance with applicable UK data protection law.

Contact

Privacy-related enquiries

For questions about this policy or the handling of information submitted through this website, please use the website contact form.

This contact route is for website and privacy enquiries only. It is not a route for food safety advice, compliance queries, or publication content questions.
