Overview

FoodServiceWeekly.com ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights with respect to that information.

What We Collect

When you submit a form on this website (Get Free Leads or Contact Us), we collect the information you provide: your name, work email address, company name, job title, industry segment, and any notes or preferences you include. We may also collect standard usage data such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited, which is processed by our hosting infrastructure.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide solely to: fulfill your lead list request and deliver it to your inbox; respond to your inquiry or message; and occasionally send you relevant communications about FoodServiceWeekly.com services. We will not contact you with unrelated marketing.

What We Do Not Do

We do not sell, rent, lease, or share your personal information or form submission data with any third party for their own marketing purposes. Your submission is used exclusively to fulfill your request.

Cookies and Local Storage

This website does not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels. We use browser localStorage to temporarily cache industry news feed content (up to 4 hours) to improve page performance. This data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to us. Google Fonts (used for typography) may set cookies per Google's own privacy policy.

Data Security

Form submissions are transmitted via HTTPS encryption to our form processing service, LeadToSheet, and stored in a private Google Sheet accessible only to FoodServiceWeekly.com. We take reasonable technical measures to protect your information.

Data Retention

We retain form submissions for as long as necessary to fulfill your request and maintain business records. You may request deletion of your data at any time.

Analytics and Site Improvement

We use Google Analytics (provided by Google LLC) to collect anonymous information about how visitors use our website, including pages visited, time on page, and traffic sources. We also use Plerdy, a heatmapping and behavioral analytics tool, to understand how visitors interact with our site — including click patterns and scroll behavior.
