Collected automatically through analytics tools and cookies (e.g., IP address, browser type, pages visited, date/time, referring URLs).

Information from Third-Party Services
If you interact with us through social media or affiliate partners (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, Google Analytics, Amazon Associates, Flodesk), those services may share limited information consistent with their own privacy settings.

Tracking Technologies and Cookies

We use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to improve your experience, analyze site traffic, and serve relevant content or ads.
Types include:

  • Essential cookies - site functionality and security
  • Analytics cookies - traffic measurement (e.g., Google Analytics 4)
  • Advertising cookies - affiliate links or targeted campaigns

You can disable non-essential cookies through your browser or cookie banner.
We also recognize Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where supported.

How We Use Your Data

We use your information to:

  • Provide and maintain the Website and related services
  • Send you requested content such as newsletters or updates (with opt-out anytime)
  • Analyze and improve performance, content, and marketing
  • Comply with legal obligations or protect against misuse

We do not sell personal information.
If we engage in "sharing" for targeted advertising as defined under the CPRA or similar state laws, you will see an explicit "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link or banner to manage your preferences.

Retention of Data

We retain Personal Data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes above, comply with law, or resolve disputes.
Email addresses for subscribers are retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion.

Transfer of Data

Your data may be processed in the U.S. or other jurisdictions where service providers operate.
We ensure that transfers are made under adequate protections consistent with applicable data-protection laws.

Security of Your Data

We use industry-standard safeguards-encrypted transmission (HTTPS), secure servers, limited access-to protect your information.
However, no Internet transmission is 100% secure; use the site at your own discretion.

Children's Privacy

Our Website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
If a parent believes we have unintentionally collected a child's information, please contact us for prompt deletion.

This Website may contain affiliate links or links to other sites not operated by us.

Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

A Foodcentric Life participates in affiliate programs (such as Amazon Associates) and uses advertising and analytics partners through Mediavine. These partners may collect data via cookies or similar technologies to deliver personalized content or measure performance.

While we do not sell personal data in the traditional sense, some states-including California-define "sharing" for targeted advertising as a kind of data sale.

To opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information:

  • Adjust your preferences through the Mediavine Consent Management Platform (CMP) or your browser's cookie settings.
  • You may also email sally@afoodcentriclife.com with the subject line "Privacy Request."

We honor valid privacy requests and opt-out signals under applicable privacy laws, including the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) and other U.S. state privacy acts.
