Privacy, in plain English
What we collect. When you sign up, we collect your email address and your alert preferences. Preferences can include food categories, allergens, state, and whether you would like to receive the Safer Pantry Food Safety Watch, our biweekly email. The ZIP code you type at signup is converted to a state inside your browser and never sent to us — we only ever see the state.
We also use standard website analytics and measurement tools to understand how people find Safer Pantry and how the site is used. This may include information such as pages visited, referring websites or ads, browser and device information, and cookie or similar identifiers.
Our emails may include standard measurement tools that help us understand whether messages are delivered, opened, or clicked. This helps us improve deliverability, spot technical problems, and make sure we are sending useful updates.
Where it lives. Your signup information, preferences, and email activity are stored with the service providers that help us manage and send Safer Pantry emails. Safer Pantry's own systems are focused on public recall information and alert matching.
What we do with it. We use your information to send recall alerts and Food Safety Watch emails that match the preferences you choose.
We also use aggregated information to understand how Safer Pantry is being used. For example, we may look at how many subscribers follow a particular food category or how people found the site. Aggregate information means patterns across groups, not a profile of you personally.
What we do not do. We do not sell your personal information.
We do not provide subscriber email addresses, signup records, or preference data to data brokers.
We do not ask for your street address, phone number, birthday, payment information, or medical history. Allergen preferences are simply choices you make to help us tailor alerts.
We may use third-party analytics and measurement services to understand traffic and campaign performance. These services may receive limited technical information about visits to the site, but they are not given our subscriber list for their own marketing purposes.
Cookies and similar tools. Safer Pantry uses cookies and similar technologies for site security, analytics, and advertising measurement.
You can usually control or remove cookies through your browser settings. Some browsers and devices also offer controls for personalized advertising. Blocking certain cookies may affect how some parts of the site work, but signing up for alerts should still be available.
Your privacy choices. Basic analytics runs when a page loads; advertising cookies run only if you accept them, and we honor your browser's Global Privacy Control signal automatically. To review or change your choices at any time — including opting out of advertising cookies (Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information) — use the button below, or the “Your Privacy Choices” link in the footer of any page. If JavaScript is turned off, Safer Pantry loads no analytics or advertising tools at all, so there is nothing to opt out of.
Leaving and deleting your information. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any Safer Pantry email. Alerts will stop immediately.
After you unsubscribe, we delete your personal information from our email service systems within 60 days, unless we need to retain limited information for legal, security, or suppression-list purposes. Suppression lists help make sure we do not accidentally email someone who has unsubscribed.
Need it removed sooner? Reply to any Safer Pantry email or write to contact@saferpantry.com, and we will help process your request.
