2018In January 2018, the site’s webmaster wrote a blog post concerning the ‘new’ EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) with some clear EU links. GDPR goes into effect on May 25, 2018. The blog post is free for not only her clientele to read, but for anyone who likes to keep up with privacy policy and other matters any owner and/or webmaster of a website has to address. https://www.anphira.com/seo-marketing/gdpr-regulation-website-ownersAnother site I found is The Trust Bridge ‘across the pond’ which has a free GDPR Glossary of Terms which you can take a peek at if say you’re not sure what the difference is between ‘Personal Data’ and ‘Sensitive Personal Data,’ etc. http://thetrustbridge.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Trust-Bridge-glossary-MARCΗ18.pdf
A major overhaul/updating of this website is planned, however, in the interim, if you go to the ‘Disclaimer’ link on the bottom of the Home page and other pages of this site, and click on it, it will take you to this site’s Disclaimer, at the bottom of which you will see a link to this site’s custom updated Privacy Policy. https://www.sensorynutrition.com/privacy-policy/ Alternatively, you can use the search box on the site and enter the word ‘privacy’ and the page for the Privacy Policy will come up.
Privacy is a freedom which all sites should respect.
P.S. Speaking of freedoms, during this Memorial Day Weekend in the USA, we hope anyone there stays safe from/free from foodborne illness and other safety issue concerns all weekend long. There’s a good general article in Food Safety News “Memorial Day meal musts” mentioning details about the fruit fly that you just might find surprising. http://www.foodsafetynews.com/2018/05/memorial-day-meal-musts/#.WwdspS_MwUE
Remember, when it comes to food year round, be sure to Clean, Separate, Cook, and Chill to help maintain food safety!
