All the information collected will be for statistical, demographic, and marketing purposes. These statistics and aggregate reports will not contain any personally identifiable information. Your identity is kept anonymous.

When you reach us through our Contact Us or Partner with Us pages on the website, we will use your email address to respond and for other marketing materials. Your email address will not be shared with outside parties.
Comments & Reviews
When visitors leave comments/reviews on the site we collect the data shown in the comments/reviews form and the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
Media
If you upload images to the website for comments/reviews, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your gadget’s (computer or mobile) hard drive. VegFuzion uses identifying cookies to ensure easier site navigation and a personalized experience.
The cookie placed on your computer is required, but only contains an encrypted “session ID” to help us identify you when you return to VegFuzion's website.
When you visit VegFuzion, a cookie is placed on your computer (if you accept cookies) or a cookie is read if you've visited the site previously. We use cookies to remember users’ session information from page to page.
If you leave comments/reviews on our site you may opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment/review. These cookies will last for a year.
If you visit our log-in page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal information and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, articles, etc. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor has visited that other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
VegFuzion will not be responsible for the content and/or the privacy policies of websites to which the website may link.
The Use of Your Personal Information
Your personal information is collected when you create an account or place an order for purposes such as processing and documentation, statistics and marketing, and as a reference in our future communications with you.
Collecting your information serves as a way to limit abuse of the system, as it helps us detect duplicate or fake accounts. Your personal information is never displayed publicly. We require that you provide your account name or “handle” to be listed with your submissions.
When you create an account or place an order online, we will ask for your street address, city, state/region, zip code, country, email address, and contact number(s).
For the information you have provided, we may use this to contact you in the unlikely event that we need to get in touch and your contact number or email address is not working.
VegFuzion may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in good-faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on VegFuzion; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of VegFuzion, or (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of VegFuzion or its designees, users of forum and/or the services associated with forum, or members of the public.
Data Retention
If you leave a comment/review, that comment/review and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically without having to hold them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on VegFuzion's website, we also store the personal information provided in user profiles. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (they cannot change their username though). Website administrators can also see and edit the provided information if necessary.
Control & Rights to Your Data and Personal Information
When you create an account or give us personal information, VegFuzion will not share that information with third parties without your permission, apart from the limited exceptions already listed.
Registering also enables you to inform us on how you want VegFuzion to communicate with you. We may send out periodic emails informing you of technical service, security issues related to the forum, the services provided, or confirming your registration.
We will provide you with the means to ensure that your personal information is correct and current. On VegFuzion's website, you can view and edit the personal information you have submitted.
If you have an account on VegFuzion's website or have left comments/reviews, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we have on you, including any data you have provided to us. You may also request that we erase any personal information/data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Security of Your Personal Information
