We’re glad you're here, and yes, we care about your privacy like we care about that last spoonful of mango sticky rice. This page lays out how Cafe Siam gathers, keeps, uses, and sometimes shares the info you give us when visiting cafesiam.com.hk.
We keep this page updated, so skim it now and then. By hanging out here or using the site, you're giving a thumbs-up to this policy.
1. What We Collect
You tap, scroll, comment, and sometimes type. All those moves leave little trails. We catch bits of those to keep things running smoothly.
Stuff You Share Directly:
- Your name or nickname (when you leave a comment)
- Email address (if you drop a message or subscribe)
- Recipe requests, questions, feedback (all welcome)
Stuff That Happens Automatically:
- Browser type and version
- Device type (like phone, tablet, laptop)
- Operating system
- Time zone
- Pages visited
- How long you stayed on each page
- Where you came from before landing here (Google, Pinterest, etc.)
We don’t collect anything that screams “spy thriller.” Just enough to understand how people use the site and make your visit smoother next time.
2. How We Use What You Give Us
We don’t sit on data for fun. Here’s why we collect it:
- Keep the site working well
- Respond to messages or comments
- Send emails you asked for (like recipe roundups)
- Know which recipes people love most
- Stop spam and bots
- Improve layout, speed, and overall kitchen-vibe
No creepy ads that follow you everywhere. We don't do that here.
3. Cookies
Not the edible kind (sadly). Website cookies are tiny files that help us remember stuff. Here's how ours work:
- Remember your preferences (like dark mode or last visited page)
- Count how many folks stop by
- Show you relevant content
If you don’t want cookies, that’s cool. Your browser settings let you turn them off or delete them anytime. Just know that some parts of the site may act a little weird without them.
4. Analytics
We use Google Analytics like a chef uses a timer, keeps things from burning. It tells us general stuff like:
- What pages get the most visits
- Where folks are coming from
- Which devices get used most
This tool helps us see what’s working and what needs tweaking. It doesn't show us private info or names. You stay anonymous.
5. Emails From Us
If you sign up for email updates, you’ll only get what you ask for. No random spam, ever. Expect recipes, food stories, or kitchen tips. You can unsubscribe by clicking a link at the bottom of any email. Simple as peeling garlic.
6. Sharing With Others
We keep your details to ourselves unless sharing is necessary. That includes:
- Legal reasons (court orders, law stuff)
- Tools that help run the site (like our email or hosting services)
- Partners helping us improve the website (analytics, spam blockers)
We never sell your info. Not for cash, favors, or snacks.
7. Ads and Links
Sometimes you’ll see ads, maybe even links to other food blogs or tools. If you click them, those sites have their own privacy policies. We don’t control them, just like we can’t control how spicy someone else’s curry is. So always read their terms before sharing anything.
8. Affiliate Disclosure
Some links on Cafe Siam may be affiliate links. If you click and buy something, we might earn a small amount (at no extra cost to you). It’s like tossing a coin in the tip jar. We only link to stuff we’ve used, tested, or trust. That’s a promise from our tiny kitchen to yours.
9. Keeping Info Safe
We store data through trusted platforms that use standard safeguards like encryption, firewalls, and login protections. Nothing’s ever 100% foolproof online, but we take it seriously and use every common-sense tool available.
If something fishy ever happens, we’ll let you know quickly.
10. Your Choices
You control your data like you control your chili level. Want to:
- Unsubscribe from emails?
- Block cookies?
- Ask what data we hold?
- Delete something?
Email us at contact@cafesiam.com.hk and we’ll sort it out.
11. California Privacy Rights
Hey, California friends. If you live in the Golden State, here’s what’s up:
You have the right to:
- Know what personal data we’ve collected about you
- Request we delete that data
- Say “no thanks” to us selling your data (though we don’t sell anything)
To exercise those rights, send us an email at contact@cafesiam.com.hk with “California Privacy Rights” in the subject line. We’ll confirm your identity before anything is changed.
12. Minor Policy
This site isn’t meant for kids under 18. We don’t knowingly collect info from children. If you're a parent or guardian and think your child gave us info, email contact@cafesiam.com.hk so we can delete it fast.
If you’re under 18, ask a grown-up before submitting anything here. Cooking is for everyone, but data-sharing needs some age limits.
13. How Long We Keep Stuff
We keep your data just long enough to use it for the reasons listed above. If you unsubscribe or ask us to delete something, we’ll take care of it within 30 days.
Comments stay visible unless you ask for removal. But if anything changes (like new rules or better systems), we’ll update this page.
14. Changes To This Page
If this privacy policy ever changes, we’ll tweak the date at the top. Big changes? You’ll see a note on the homepage or in your inbox if you're subscribed. No sneaky edits here.
