Trust, policy and method

Privacy Policy

The sourcing, food-safety, commercial and correction boundaries that govern Salty & Clever.

The operating premise

Hospitality is more useful when its assumptions are visible.

Last reviewed July 18, 2026. This policy explains how Salty and Clever handles information submitted through this website.

Information we collect

We may receive information you choose to provide through comments, contact forms, newsletter signups, menu and hosting tools, restaurant comparisons, surveys, or other interactive features. This can include your name, email address, message, dietary preferences, allergy-related information you elect to disclose, event details, and answers needed to generate a requested result.

The site and its service providers may also process technical information such as IP address, browser and device data, referring pages, cookies, security logs, and aggregated usage information.

How information is used

Information is used to operate and secure the site, deliver requested emails or results, respond to messages, improve editorial and planning tools, understand site use, prevent abuse, and meet legal obligations. Information submitted for a result is not treated as consent to receive marketing unless the form clearly asks for that separate permission.

Service providers and embedded content

WordPress.com, Jetpack, Google Site Kit or Google services, Crowdsignal, email-delivery providers, spam-prevention services, and embedded media may process information under their own policies. Embedded content can behave as though you visited the provider directly.

Cookies and analytics

Cookies or similar technologies may support security, preferences, forms, analytics, and embedded services. Available consent controls should be used where required. Browser settings can also limit cookies, although some site functions may stop working.

Applications and results

Do not submit payment information, government identifiers, detailed medical records, or other sensitive personal data. Allergy, medication, pregnancy, and health information should be shared only when a feature clearly explains why it is needed; general editorial tools are not medical services. Personalized or temporary results should not be published or indexed as public profiles.

Retention and sharing

Information is retained only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose collected, security, recordkeeping, or legal obligations. We do not sell personal information. Information may be shared with service providers that operate the site, when required by law, or when necessary to protect the site and its users.

Your choices

You may unsubscribe using the link in an email. You may request access, correction, or deletion of information you submitted, subject to legal, security, and operational limits. Contact Salty and Clever through the site contact route and identify the form or feature involved.

Children and changes

This site is not directed to children under 13. This policy may change when site features or providers change; the review date above will be updated for material revisions.
