We collect as little as possible. BestFoodsToEat.com works without accounts or tracking cookies, and we never sell your personal information. If you subscribe to our newsletter, your email is used only to send you the newsletter and can be removed at any time.
Information We Collect
Information you give us. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address. If you contact us, we collect your name, email address, and the contents of your message.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider records standard technical information when you visit — such as your browser type, device, pages viewed, and approximate location derived from your IP address. We use privacy-friendly, aggregate analytics (no advertising pixels and no cross-site tracking) to understand which guides readers find useful.
What we don't collect. We don't require accounts, we don't run advertising networks, and we don't use cookies for tracking or remarketing.
How We Use Information
- To send the newsletter you asked for — and nothing else
- To respond to questions and feedback you send us
- To understand aggregate, anonymized readership trends so we can improve existing guides and decide what to write next
How We Share Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. Your email address is shared only with the email-delivery service that powers our newsletter (under their own privacy obligations), and only to the extent needed to deliver it.
We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or to protect the rights and safety of our readers and our site.
Third-Party Services
This site loads fonts from Google Fonts. Pages that reference nutrition research link out to PubMed (U.S. National Library of Medicine), the USDA FoodData Central, and the U.S. FDA — those sites have their own privacy policies, which apply once you leave bestfoodstoeat.com. Our newsletter provider processes subscriber email addresses on our behalf under a data-processing agreement.
Your Rights & Choices
- Unsubscribe: every newsletter includes a one-click unsubscribe link
- Access or deletion: email us and we will provide or delete the personal information we hold about you, within legal limits
- Do Not Track: because we don't track you across sites, there is nothing to opt out of
Data Retention & Security
We keep newsletter emails only while you remain a subscriber, and contact messages only as long as needed to handle your request. The site is served over HTTPS, and our hosting and email providers maintain industry-standard safeguards. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we limit what we collect so there is little to lose.
Children's Privacy
BestFoodsToEat.com is a general-audience site and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to This Policy
If we change this policy, we will update the date above and, for significant changes, note the change in our newsletter before it takes effect.
