Email Communications

If you subscribe to receive emails from Connoisseurus Veg, we collect and use your email address and related subscription information to provide those communications.

We use a third-party email service provider to maintain our mailing list, distribute emails, and help us understand engagement with those communications. That provider may process your email address and information concerning your interactions with our emails on our behalf.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in those emails.

We may retain information necessary to record and honor an unsubscribe request.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the Website, we may collect the information shown in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent information to assist with spam detection and Website security.

An anonymized string created from your email address, sometimes referred to as a hash, may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine whether you use that service. The Gravatar privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/.

After approval of your comment, your Gravatar profile picture, if applicable, may be publicly visible in connection with your comment.

Comments and their associated metadata may be retained indefinitely so that we can recognize and approve follow-up comments and maintain the Website’s comment history.

Visitor comments may also be processed by automated spam-detection services.

Please remember that information you voluntarily include in a public comment may be visible to anyone who visits the Website.

Media

If the Website permits you to upload images or other media, you should avoid uploading files containing embedded location information, such as EXIF GPS data.

Visitors to the Website may be able to download images and extract embedded information contained in those files.

Contact Forms and Communications

If you contact us through a contact form, email, or another communication method, we may collect the information you provide along with information necessary to respond to your communication.

We may retain correspondence as reasonably necessary for customer service, business records, security, dispute resolution, and legal compliance.

Affiliate Links

The Website participates in affiliate marketing programs.

Some links on the Website are affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link, a third party may use cookies or similar technologies to record that the Website referred you. If you subsequently make a qualifying purchase, Tofu Press may receive a commission or other compensation at no additional cost to you.

Purchases made through affiliate links are transactions between you and the applicable third-party retailer or service provider. We generally do not receive payment-card information or other information that you submit directly to that third party.

Third-party retailers, affiliate networks, and other providers process information according to their own privacy policies.

Embedded Content

Articles on the Website may contain embedded content from third-party websites or services, including videos, images, social media content, or other materials.

Embedded content may behave substantially the same way as if you visited the third-party website directly.

Those third parties may collect information about you, use cookies or similar technologies, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content. If you have an account with the third party and are logged into that account, the third party may associate your interaction with your account.

The privacy practices of third-party websites and services are governed by their respective privacy policies.
