Privacy Policy

At VettedBite Analytics Inc. ("we," "our," or "us"), we believe that transparency shouldn't just apply to food labels, but also to how we handle your data.

This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit vettedbite.com. We operate in strict compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and the Turkish KVKK.

We collect minimal data necessary to provide our food analysis service:

• Search Data: We log search queries (e.g., "Is Nutella Halal?") to improve our database coverage. This data is anonymized and aggregated.
• Device Information: Browser type, IP address (masked), and operating system for security and fraud prevention via Cloudflare.
• Voluntary Information: Email addresses provided for our newsletter or contact forms.

We understand that your search history may reveal sensitive information about your health (e.g., "Gluten-Free" implying Celiac Disease) or religious beliefs (e.g., "Halal status").

Our Promise:

• We NEVER build user profiles based on health or religious search patterns.
• We DO NOT sell search intent data to third-party advertisers for retargeting purposes.
• Your search session is ephemeral and is not linked to a permanent personal ID unless you create an account.

We use cookies solely for operational efficiency:

• Essential Cookies: Required for the site to function (e.g., remembering your language preference).
• Analytics Cookies: We use privacy-focused analytics (plausible.io or anonymized Google Analytics) to count visitors without tracking individual behavior across the web.

You can control or delete cookies via your browser settings at any time.

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information to others. We may share generic aggregated demographic information not linked to any personal identification information regarding visitors and users with our business partners.

Service Providers: We use trusted third parties like Cloudflare (Content Delivery Network) for security and speed. These providers process data strictly on our behalf.

Regardless of your location, we extend these rights to all users:

• Right to Access: You can request a copy of the data we hold about you.
• Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): You can ask us to delete your data.
• Right to Opt-Out: You can opt-out of non-essential cookies.

To exercise these rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer (DPO).
