Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 15, 2026
Human Food Atlas (“HFA,” “we,” “our,” or “the Site”) is designed to collect as little information about visitors as possible.
Information We Collect
Human Food Atlas does not require user accounts and does not directly collect names, email addresses, payment information, precise location, or other information that identifies you personally.
The Site uses Google Analytics to understand general usage patterns, such as which pages are visited and how visitors interact with the Site. Depending on your browser, location, and consent settings, Google Analytics may process information such as session activity, approximate geographic location, browser and device information, and analytics identifiers.
We do not use Google Analytics to intentionally identify individual visitors.
Analytics and Your Choice
Where applicable, analytics are controlled through a consent mechanism provided on the Site. You may decline or opt out of analytics tracking.
If analytics consent is denied, the Site is intended to respect that choice and disable analytics storage or measurement as configured through Google’s consent controls.
You may also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings.
Cookies
Human Food Atlas does not use cookies for advertising, user accounts, profiling, or personalization.
Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies when analytics are enabled. For example, Google Analytics may use a first-party cookie to distinguish visits and sessions.
How Analytics Information Is Used
Analytics information is used only to understand aggregate Site usage and improve Human Food Atlas, such as identifying popular pages, technical issues, and general patterns of navigation.
We do not sell personal information.
Third-Party Services
Google Analytics is operated by Google. Information processed through Google Analytics is subject to Google’s own privacy and data-processing practices.
Children
Human Food Atlas is a general educational and informational website and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy if the Site, its analytics configuration, or applicable requirements change. The current version will always be published on this page with its effective date.
