2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide Directly

If you contact us via email or through any contact form, you may provide us with your name, email address, and the content of your message. We collect this information solely for the purpose of responding to your inquiry. We do not add you to marketing lists, share this information with third parties for commercial purposes, or retain it beyond the period needed to address your inquiry.

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

Like virtually all websites, our hosting infrastructure automatically collects certain technical information when you access the site. This includes:

Server Log Data: Your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and timestamps of visits. This data is collected automatically by our web server infrastructure and is used for security monitoring, diagnosing technical problems, and understanding aggregate traffic patterns.

Analytics Data: If we use web analytics services, we may collect aggregated data about page views, session duration, geographic region (country/city level), device type, and navigation paths. This data is used in aggregate to understand how the site is used and to improve content.

2.3 Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect payment information (we have no payment functions), order or delivery information (we do not provide delivery services), account credentials (we have no user accounts or registration), precise location data, biometric data, or sensitive personal information of any category.


3. How We Use Information

We use the limited information we collect for the following purposes:

To respond to inquiries: When you contact us, we use your contact information solely to reply to your message and, where relevant, to follow up on your inquiry. We do not use this information for any other purpose.

To operate and maintain the website: Server log data is used to identify and resolve technical issues, protect against unauthorized access, and ensure the stability and security of the site.

To understand aggregate usage: Aggregated, anonymized analytics data (if collected) is used to understand which content is most useful to visitors, identify navigation issues, and improve the overall quality and organization of the site. This analysis is conducted at the aggregate level; we do not profile individual users.

To comply with legal obligations: We may retain or disclose information if required to do so by applicable law, court order, or governmental authority.

We do not: sell your information to third parties, use your information for targeted advertising, build behavioral profiles of individual users, share your information with delivery companies or restaurants, or use your information for any purpose other than those listed above.

5. Third-Party Services

This website may use third-party services for infrastructure and analytics purposes. These services may have their own privacy practices, which we encourage you to review. Examples include hosting providers, content delivery networks (CDNs) for performance, and analytics platforms (if used).

We do not integrate third-party advertising networks, social login services, payment processors, or food ordering platforms. We do not embed third-party commercial widgets or tracking pixels on this site.

External links on this site, if any, lead to third-party websites that are not under our control. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites and encourage you to review their privacy policies independently.


6. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes described in this policy.

Contact inquiry data: Retained for the period necessary to respond to and resolve your inquiry, typically no longer than 12 months unless ongoing correspondence requires longer retention.

Server log data: Typically retained for 30 to 90 days for operational and security purposes, after which it is deleted or anonymized.

Analytics data: Aggregated and anonymized analytics data may be retained for longer periods as it does not constitute personal data in its aggregated form.


7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data under applicable privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) for California residents and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for individuals in the European Economic Area.

Right to Correction

California Residents (CCPA): We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising. California residents may request disclosure of categories of information collected and purposes of use by contacting us directly.


8. Children's Privacy

This website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe we may have collected information from a child, please contact us at info@deliveryefficiencyhub.org.


9. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the limited personal data we hold from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our website is served over HTTPS, which encrypts data in transit between your browser and our server. Contact information you submit to us is handled with reasonable care and stored securely.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we use commercially reasonable measures to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the unlikely event of a data breach affecting personal data, we will notify affected individuals and relevant authorities as required by applicable law.
