Privacy Policy

What information do we collect?

We collect two categories of information: information you provide directly, and information collected automatically through standard web technologies.

Information you provide directly includes your email address and any message content you submit through the contact form on this site. If you choose to provide your name, that is also collected. We do not require a name to submit a contact inquiry. We do not collect payment information, identification documents, or sensitive personal data of any kind.

Information collected automatically includes your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited on this site, time spent on pages, and the date and time of your visit. This information is collected through server logs and, if you consent, through cookies and similar tracking technologies. See our Cookie Policy for full details on cookie usage.

Why do we collect this information?

We collect contact form submissions for the sole purpose of responding to inquiries. We do not use contact information for marketing purposes, and we do not add submitters to any mailing list without explicit separate consent.

We collect technical and usage data to understand how visitors interact with the site, to identify and resolve technical issues, to improve site performance, and to understand which content areas generate the most interest. This data informs editorial decisions about which food science topics to cover.

If you have consented to analytics cookies, we may use third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to process aggregated usage data. In that case, data is processed under the terms of those third-party services.

Do we share your information with anyone?

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to third parties. We do not share contact form submissions with any outside party except as required by law.

We may share aggregated, anonymized usage data with analytics service providers who process it on our behalf under data processing agreements. These providers do not receive information that identifies individual visitors.

We may disclose information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental authority, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Roluxo, our visitors, or the public.

How long do we keep your data?

Contact form submissions are retained for a period sufficient to respond to the inquiry and maintain reasonable records, typically no longer than 12 months from the date of submission unless ongoing correspondence requires longer retention.

Server log data is retained for a standard period of up to 90 days for security and diagnostic purposes, after which it is deleted or anonymized.

Cookie data retention periods vary by cookie type and are described in our Cookie Policy.

What rights do you have over your information?

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to request deletion of personal information we hold, the right to opt out of the sale of personal information (we do not sell personal information), and the right to non-discrimination for exercising these rights.

Regardless of your location, you may contact us at [email protected] to request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal information you have submitted to us through the contact form. We will respond to such requests within a reasonable timeframe.

To opt out of analytics tracking, you may adjust your cookie preferences through our cookie consent tool or use browser-level privacy controls. Most modern browsers allow you to block or delete cookies entirely.

How do we protect your information?

We implement standard technical measures to protect information transmitted to and stored by this site, including HTTPS encryption for all data in transit. We do not store contact form submissions in a database accessible via the web interface — submissions are routed directly via email to our internal address.

No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. While we apply reasonable protective measures, we cannot guarantee absolute security of any information transmitted to us.

Does this site address children?

This website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has submitted personal information through this site, please contact us at [email protected] and we will delete that information promptly.

What about links to other websites?

Roluxo content may reference or link to external food science publications, academic journals, and other informational resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any site you visit through links from roluxo.info.

Can this policy change?

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, applicable law, or site functionality. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of roluxo.info after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
