Privacy Policy
​
This policy explains the way that we collect, use and protect your data as well as your choices with regard to your data.
We’ve tried to be as clear as we can be and to avoid unnecessary jargon, while including all the relevant information – but please do contactus@vegantodinner.com if anything doesn’t make sense or needs expanding on. Because, by necessity, this is a long document and because we’re all pressed for time, we've summarised the key points.
Our aims and duty of care
​
We recognise our duty of care with regards to your data and will always endeavour to do the right thing with the personal data you choose to share with us, including: not compromising your anonymity; protecting your privacy; storing your data securely and giving you control over your own data.
Your data - what we store and why
​
We store IP address, cookies, your device’s unique ID, page browsing history, ads you’ve viewed and clicked, searches you’ve made on site, approximate location, and any enquiries you’ve made. For registered members we also store username, password and email address; discussions you may have with Vegan to Dinner site moderators; comments, feedback, product reviews, recommendations, and personal profile data e.g. how many people in your household, approximate age of household members, eating lifestyles of household members.
We store your email address to register you and contact you (if you have asked for email updates and invitations) and we store things such as IP address, cookies and device ID so that our systems recognise you if you return to Vegan to Dinner. We store things such as your device’s reading habits to show you things we think may be of interest to you (eg content or ads).
When we look at this information across large numbers of users, it helps us see which parts of Vegan to Dinner are well-used and which aren’t, and this helps us to decide what sort of content and features might be useful to develop. The information you provide helps us to provide and operate the service from Vegan To Dinner; and to contact our Visitors and Users with general or personalised service-related noticed and promotional messages. The aggregated statistical data and other aggregated and/or inferred non-personal information which we or our business partners may use to provide and improve our respective services.
​
When you provide feedback (e.g. a product review, comments on a recipe or menu, your opinion about an issue or question posed to the forum, or behavioural data) we use this in two ways - to understand your consumer opinion in a non-personalised/anonymous way and to amalgamate the data provide by you with information gathered from other users. The aggregated data helps us to analyse opinions and behaviour amongst a wider population. We do not attribute comments to you or any individual personally in any analysis or reporting undertaken by Vegan to Dinner.

​

Code of Conduct
​
Posting on Vegan to Dinner and its Forum
​
Registered members of Vegan to Dinner can start discussions and add comments, pictures and videos to existing discussions within Vegan to Dinner forums under Vegan to Dinner's Terms of Use. This is optional in the sense that it’s up to you whether you post on Vegan to Dinner or not; if you do post we always store the contents of those posts. These posts are public, but of your registration data, only your Vegan to Dinner username is displayed on screen.
​
Vegan to Dinner forums are visible to search engines. This means that any personal information users choose to share in their posts on Vegan to Dinner can be seen widely. We cannot control who sees these posts. However, wherever appropriate we remind users that Vegan to Dinner forums are highly visible and can be read by anyone, anywhere.
​
In all your posts on Vegan to Dinner, in personal messages to other users, and in choosing your username, you should be mindful about the possibility that information you choose to disclose could lead to someone working out who you are in ‘real life’. For example, anything that references your real life name, your children’s real names, where you live or your date of birth could make it easy for someone to work out who you are. Other personal information in your posts – how many children you have, what job you do, that you work from home on Mondays, that your spouse is a motorbike enthusiast – might also allow people reading Vegan to Dinner to work out who you are (through joining difference information pieces together).
​
When posting on the Vegan to Dinner Forum, members and visitors are expected to be respectful and polite. Offensive or rude comments are not allowed, and will taken down. Members posting are expected to be tolerant and to welcome different opinions and diversity. Visitors to the site are expected to behave in an acceptable manner that does not harm the site, its visitors/members, or its commercial viability. Unacceptable posts or behaviour includes hacking, introducing viruses, and uploading illegal or defamatory content.
The forum is designed to encourage discussion of issues which relate to cooking and food, and through sharing experiences and knowledge, members can benefit each other. It is not a forum designed to exercise or share political views and it is not a campaigning forum.
It is within the rights of the moderator to exclude individual members from the discussions if they do not adhere to the rules of the Forum.
​
Vegan to Dinner is a site for grown-ups and we believe that our users are adults who can decide for themselves what information they choose to share on Vegan to Dinner Forum. That said, if you’re ever worried that you’ve said too much, hit ‘report’ on one of your posts and explain the problem to our site moderation team; they will be happy to help if they can.
​
You should be aware that the moderation team and a small number of other members of staff at Vegan to Dinner have access to your posts and can see that content in combination with your registration data. We restrict to the minimum the number of staff who have access to this data and we constantly review this. You can check your registration data in My Account.
​
We provide a copy of all Forum posts to a small number of organisations for analysis or to create software analysis tools to analyse brands and sentiment towards topics. Your personal data and username is not included in the copies of posts that we provide to these organisations.
