Privacy Policy

1. Scope and Overview

Welcome to the MealTradeoff Fieldbook. We respect the personal information and decision parameters you log while exploring food choices and ingredient balances. This document details how we handle preferences, choices, and navigation logs inside our application.

We do not require user accounts for general exploration. Your local trade-off calculations, menu analyses, and ingredient preferences remain on your device unless voluntarily shared with us through our contact or submission channels.

2. Personal Log Storage and Preference Data

When you utilize our interactive comparisons, portion scales, or texture balance tools, these parameters are stored within your browser’s local storage to ensure your selections persist between visits. We collect:

• Interaction Data: Saved meal choices, compared items, and portion size preferences.
• Technical Metadata: Browser type, device characteristics, operating system, and referral source.
• Communications: Email address and names voluntarily provided through contact forms.

3. How We Process Your Selections

Your configurations and preferences are processed solely for the following purposes:

• To display customized comparative calculations and texture balance charts.
• To remember your preferences, avoiding the need to reset configurations on every visit.
• To analyze general website traffic patterns to refine our fieldbook guides.
• To respond directly to inquiries or feedback received through our communications channel.

4. Security of Logs and Local Storage

Because the majority of your selection data resides in your browser's local sandbox, the security of those inputs relies heavily on your device's safety. For data that reaches our servers via forms:

We employ standard secure transmission protocols (HTTPS) and restricted administrative access to ensure your messages and contact details are shielded from unauthorized entry. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal logs with external marketing companies.

5. Managing Your Local Choices

You hold full control over your interactive logs. You can delete all saved settings and preferences instantly by clearing your browser cache and local storage.

If you have sent us messages and wish to request a summary of the data we hold, or ask for its permanent deletion from our records, please reach out via our contact channels.
