Privacy Policy

Information We Receive

We may receive information you choose to submit, including your name, email address, organization, professional role, inquiry details, survey responses, or information connected with a contribution.

We also use website analytics to understand general traffic and site performance. This may include device, browser, referring page, and approximate location information.

How Information Is Used

Information may be used to respond to inquiries, administer research, improve programs and website performance, communicate Foundation updates, process contributions, maintain records, and meet legal obligations. We do not sell personal information.

Third-Party Services

This website may use third-party services for analytics, forms, surveys, and secure contribution processing. Information submitted through those services is also governed by the service provider's applicable privacy policies and settings. First & Fork does not collect or store payment-card information on this website.

Research and Survey Responses

Survey responses are treated as confidential and analyzed in aggregate. Individual respondents and organizations will not be identified in published findings without explicit permission.

Culinary Radar and My Workspace

Articles are public. My Workspace receives an account identifier, email address, and a name when supplied by your sign-in provider. Email and Google sign-in are managed through Auth0. We store saved article snapshots, conversations, generated outputs and their revisions so you can return to your work. We also store optional profile details, interests, and training guide defaults that you choose to save. These preferences stay private; profile details and interests are not automatically included in AI requests. Ordinary Workspace access is limited to your account; authorized technical operations may access stored records when needed to operate, secure, or support the service.

When you use Cheffy, the selected article snapshot, your request, and relevant recent messages are sent to OpenAI. Your account email is not deliberately included, but information you type may identify you. Please avoid sensitive personal information. The current integration requests that OpenAI not store generated responses; provider processing remains subject to its applicable terms and privacy practices.

Sharing creates an unlisted link to the specific output version shown in the preview. Anyone holding that link can read it until you revoke it. Revocation cannot recall copies others already made. Conversations and unrelated records are not included. Downloading and copying use the selected saved version.

Feedback includes the message, category, time, relevant page, and a temporary abuse-prevention identifier. Optional contact details are used for the response you request. Output ratings record the output and version identifiers; the output text is included for editorial review only if you select it. Feedback informs product review and does not automatically retrain the AI.

If email delivery is enabled, selecting Email to Me sends only the chosen saved version to your signed-in account address through the delivery provider. Delivery records retain the selected version, recipient, time, and reported status. This action does not subscribe you to marketing. Culinary Radar uses resource@firstandfork.org for sending, replies, and feedback notifications. Feedback notifications may include the submitted message, optional contact details, category, and page. Private Workspace content is not attached. Automatic delivery is awaiting the sending-service connection.

You can remove saved items and outputs and revoke share links in Workspace. Removing an output does not automatically erase earlier conversation messages or retained version, feedback, or service records. For support, access, or deletion requests covering Culinary Radar, Cheffy, Workspace, or feedback records, contact resource@firstandfork.org. We retain records as needed to provide the service, address requests, maintain security, and meet applicable obligations.

Your Choices and Contact

You may ask a privacy question or request access, correction, or deletion of information held directly by First & Fork by emailing info@firstandfork.org. Some records may be retained when required for legal, financial, or operational purposes.
