This Privacy Policy explains how Perfect Sous Vide (“Perfect Sous Vide,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you visit perfectsousvide.com, contact us, comment on our content, or interact with services used to operate the website. It also explains the limited data handled by our internal Pinterest content-publishing application.
Who we are
Perfect Sous Vide publishes cooking guides, product research, comparisons, and related editorial content. The website address is https://perfectsousvide.com/.
For privacy questions or requests, email admin@perfectsousvide.com or use our Contact page.
Information we collect
Information you provide
- Messages and correspondence: information you include when you email us or otherwise contact us.
- Comments: if you leave a comment, WordPress may collect the information shown in the comment form, the comment text, your IP address, and browser user-agent information to help detect spam and maintain site security.
Information collected automatically
When you browse the site, our website, hosting provider, security tools, consent tools, caching services, and analytics services may automatically process information such as your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP address, timestamps, cookie identifiers, and interactions with the site.
Pinterest application data
Perfect Sous Vide uses an internal, single-account application to prepare, schedule, publish, verify, and manage original Pins for our own Pinterest Business account. The application is not offered to site visitors or other businesses.
After the account owner authorizes the application through Pinterest OAuth, the application may process the authenticated account’s own Boards and Pins, Board and Pin identifiers, Pin titles and descriptions, destination URLs, media references, publishing status, scheduled and published timestamps, and related API response data. We also keep publishing and duplicate-prevention records, including asset filenames and hashes, quality-assurance status, and public Pin URLs.
OAuth access and refresh tokens are used only to authenticate authorized API requests. They are treated as confidential credentials and are not intentionally placed in public website content or publishing-history files. The application is not designed to access other Pinners’ private Pins or Boards, manage advertising campaigns for third parties, or sell Pinterest API data.
How we use information
- Operate, maintain, secure, and troubleshoot the website.
- Respond to questions, feedback, and privacy requests.
- Moderate comments, prevent spam, investigate abuse, and protect the site.
- Understand aggregate site traffic, content performance, and technical issues.
- Create, schedule, publish, verify, and avoid duplicating Pins for the Perfect Sous Vide Pinterest account.
- Comply with applicable law, enforce our rights, and respond to lawful requests.
Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we process information based on consent, our legitimate interests in operating and securing the site, performance of a request you make, or compliance with legal obligations.
Cookies and similar technologies
The site may use cookies and similar technologies for essential operation, preferences, security, performance measurement, and analytics. Our consent-management tool may present choices about non-essential cookies where required. You can also control cookies through your browser, although disabling essential cookies may affect site functionality.
WordPress may set cookies for commenters and logged-in administrators. Analytics and measurement services may use cookies or similar identifiers according to your consent choices and their own policies.
Analytics and third-party services
We use service providers to host, secure, cache, optimize, measure, and operate the website. These may include WordPress-related infrastructure, Google services configured through Google Site Kit, cookie-consent services, image-optimization services, and other technical providers. Google explains how it handles information in its Privacy Policy.
Our internal publishing application communicates with Pinterest through Pinterest’s OAuth and API services. Pinterest processes information under its own Privacy Policy and developer terms.
Comments and Gravatar
If comments are enabled and you leave one, an anonymized value derived from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to determine whether you use it. After a comment is approved, any associated public profile image may appear with the comment. The Gravatar service is operated under the Automattic Privacy Policy.
Embedded content and external links
Articles may include embedded content or links to other websites. Embedded content can behave as though you visited the third-party website directly and may collect data, use cookies, or track your interaction according to that provider’s policies. We do not control the privacy practices of external websites.
When we share information
We may share or allow service providers to process information only as reasonably necessary to operate the website and internal publishing application, provide analytics and security, deliver requested functionality, comply with law, protect rights and safety, or complete a business transfer. Providers process information under their own terms and, where applicable, agreements with us.
We do not sell personal information for money. We do not share Pinterest OAuth credentials or Pinterest API data with unrelated third parties for their advertising or profiling purposes.
Data retention
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including security, recordkeeping, dispute resolution, and legal compliance. Retention depends on the type of information and how it is used.
- Messages are retained as needed to respond and maintain appropriate records.
- Comments and related metadata may remain until the comment is removed or no longer needed.
- Technical logs and analytics information are retained according to security needs and provider settings.
- Pinterest OAuth tokens are retained while the internal application remains authorized and are removed or invalidated when access is revoked or no longer needed.
- Pin publishing history may be retained to maintain audit trails, prevent duplicate posting, and verify prior publications.
Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards intended to protect information, including restricting access to credentials and using encrypted connections where supported. No storage or transmission method is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your choices and privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or a copy of certain personal information. You may also withdraw consent where processing relies on consent. These rights can be subject to legal exceptions and identity verification.
- Use the site’s cookie controls or your browser settings to manage cookies.
- Contact us to request action regarding messages, comments, or other information associated with you.
- The owner of the connected Pinterest account can revoke the internal application’s authorization through Pinterest account settings. Revocation prevents future API access, although existing publishing records may be retained when reasonably necessary for security and duplicate prevention.
Children’s privacy
The website and internal publishing application are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can review the request.
International processing
Our service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live. Privacy protections and government-access rules may differ across jurisdictions. Where required, service providers are expected to use appropriate safeguards for international processing.
Changes to this Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, providers, legal obligations, or Pinterest application change. The “Last updated” date shows when the latest revision took effect. Material changes may also be communicated through the website where appropriate.
