This Privacy Policy explains how The Potato Council ("we", "us", "potatoes.me") handles personal information when you use our website.
We collect personal information only when you choose to give it to us, primarily through our contact and nomination forms. This may include:
We do not use advertising trackers, and we aim to keep cookie use to the minimum required for the site to function.
We use Plausible Analytics to understand how the site is used — which pages get read, roughly where readers come from, and how people move through the network. Plausible is privacy-respecting and cookieless: it does not set cookies, does not track individuals across sites, and does not collect personal information. We see aggregate page views; we do not see who you are.
We use the information you provide to respond to your enquiry, to consider nominations, and to operate and improve the network. We do not sell your personal information.
Submissions made through our forms may be processed and stored using third-party service providers (for example, our customer-relationship and hosting providers). These providers process data on our behalf and may store it in other countries. We take reasonable steps to work with providers that handle data responsibly.
Some pages may include embedded media (such as video or audio players). Where we use embeds, we prefer privacy-respecting modes. Embedded providers may collect information according to their own privacy policies.
You may ask us what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. To make a request, email hello@potatoes.me.
We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes described above, or as required by law.
We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date above reflects the most recent version.
