Privacy & cookies
Who we are
A Tavola (atavola.online) is a gluten-free recipe community. The data controller is A Tavola. For any question or request about your data, write to atavola.online@gmail.com.
What we collect
- When you sign up: email address, password (stored only in encrypted form: we cannot read it), username, avatar and, if you wish, a short bio. We also record your sign-up date and the points you earn.
- Your newsletter choice: whether you agreed or not, and when. This is visible only to you and to the people who run the site.
- When you use the site: the recipes you propose and the comments you write.
- Technical data: like any website, the providers that run it process your IP address and basic browser information to deliver pages and protect the service from abuse.
We do not collect data for advertising or profiling, and we do not sell your data.
What others can see
Your username, avatar, bio, points, approved recipes and comments are visible to other people using the site. Your email address is never shown. Avoid putting personal information you do not want to share in your bio, comments or recipes.
Why we use your data
- To create and manage your account and let you read recipes (performing the service you asked for).
- To send service emails, such as sign-up confirmation and password recovery.
- To send the newsletter with news and new recipes, only if you choose it (the checkbox at sign-up is optional and unticked by default). You can change your mind at any time from your profile or from the link at the bottom of every email, and we will stop writing to you. Without this consent we send no newsletters or marketing. If you answer no, we will ask once more after about four weeks; after that we will not bother you again.
- To moderate content and keep the site secure (legitimate interest).
Who we share it with
We use these providers, who process data on our behalf only to run the service:
| Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Supabase | Database, accounts and sign-in. Data is stored in Ireland (EU). |
| Netlify | Hosting of the website. |
| Cloudflare | Domain registration and DNS. |
| Resend | Sending service emails and the newsletter (servers in Ireland). |
| Google Fonts | Site fonts: your browser downloads them directly from Google, which therefore receives your IP address. |
| jsDelivr | Network that delivers a software library used by the site. |
Some of these providers are based outside the European Economic Area, for example in the United States, and may process data there under the safeguards provided by the GDPR (such as standard contractual clauses or the Data Privacy Framework).
Cookies and browser storage
A Tavola does not use profiling or advertising cookies and does not use analytics tools. The site stores in your browser only what is strictly necessary for it to work: your sign-in session (to keep you logged in) and which recipes you have already seen. That is why there is no consent banner. You can delete this data at any time in your browser settings; you would then need to sign in again.
How long we keep it
We keep your data for as long as your account exists. If you ask us to delete it, we remove your account and linked data; providers' backups may remain for a short time before being overwritten.
Your rights
You can ask to access, correct or delete your data, restrict its processing, receive it in a readable format, or object to its processing. Write to atavola.online@gmail.com: we reply as soon as possible and in any case within one month. You may also lodge a complaint with a data protection authority: in Ireland, the Data Protection Commission (dataprotection.ie).
Children
The site is not intended for anyone under 16. If you believe a child has signed up, contact us and we will delete the account.
Changes
If we change anything important, we will update this page and the date at the top.
An occasional email with new recipes and community news. No ads.
