Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 22, 2026

Eat Street Food China (“we,” “us,” or “our”) publishes educational content about Chinese regional food history and culture. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be processed when you visit eatstreetfoodchina.com or contact us.

Information We Process

Information you send us

Our Contact page provides an email link rather than a web form. If you email us, we receive the information you choose to provide, such as your email address, name, message, and any attachments. We use this information to answer questions, review corrections, handle photo permission requests, and maintain necessary correspondence.

Basic technical logs

Our hosting and security providers may automatically process basic technical information, such as your IP address, browser or device type, requested page, referring page, date and time, and error or security information. This information may be used to deliver, protect, maintain, and troubleshoot the website.

Cookies and Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4, provided by Google, to understand how visitors find and use this website. Depending on your consent choices, Analytics may process information such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser information, referral source, and interactions measured through enhanced measurement. Google uses IP addresses during collection to derive general location information and for service functions, then discards the raw IP address rather than logging or storing it in Google Analytics.

Non-essential statistics tracking is disabled unless you accept statistics through our consent banner. You may accept, reject, or change your preferences at any time using the Manage Consent control. We have disabled optional Analytics data-sharing settings for other Google products and services. For more information about the cookies and services used on this website, please see our Cookie Policy.

Advertising

Eat Street Food China does not currently display Google AdSense or other third-party advertising. If advertising is enabled in the future, this policy will be updated to explain the advertising providers, cookies or identifiers used, personalization choices, and any consent mechanism required by applicable law.

How We Use Information

  • To operate, maintain, protect, and improve the website.
  • To respond to emails, questions, corrections, and permission requests.
  • To investigate technical problems, misuse, or security incidents.
  • To comply with applicable legal obligations.

We do not sell or rent personal information.

How Information May Be Shared

Information may be processed by service providers that support our website, hosting, security, or email services, only as necessary to provide those services. We may also disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect the website, our rights, or the safety of others.

Data Retention

Contact messages are retained only as long as reasonably necessary to respond, maintain appropriate records, resolve disputes, or meet legal obligations. Technical logs are retained according to the settings and security practices of our hosting and service providers.

Your Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live and the law that applies, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information connected with you. You may send a request using the contact information below. We may need to verify your request, and certain legal exceptions may apply.

Children’s Privacy

This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn that such information has been provided, we will take appropriate steps to remove it.

External Links

Our articles may link to third-party websites for reference or further reading. Those websites operate under their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.

Security and International Processing

We use reasonable measures to protect information, but no website or electronic transmission can be guaranteed completely secure. Our service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live, subject to their terms and applicable law.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our website, services, or legal obligations change. The revised version will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
