This Privacy Policy explains what information 7 Brew Secret Menu collects when you visit our website, how we use it, and the choices you have. We take your privacy seriously and only collect what’s genuinely needed to run and improve this fan site. If you have any questions about this policy, please contact us.
Information we collect
Information you share with us
When you email us — for example with a menu question, a correction or a flavour suggestion — we receive your email address and anything you choose to include in your message. We use this information only to read and reply to your message, and we never share it with third parties for marketing purposes.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, we automatically collect some technical information when you visit, such as your browser type, device type, the pages you view and how long you spend on them. This is gathered through cookies and analytics tools (see below) and helps us understand which guides readers find most useful.
How we use your information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To respond to your messages, questions and feedback
- To improve our content and your experience on the site
- To understand how visitors use the site so we can prioritise new guides
- To keep the site secure, prevent misuse and fix technical problems
We don’t sell your personal information, and we don’t use it for advertising targeting.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We use them for a few straightforward reasons:
- Essential cookies – needed for the site to work properly (for example, remembering your cookie consent choice).
- Preference cookies – remember simple settings to make your visits smoother.
- Analytics cookies – help us see which pages are popular and how readers navigate the site, so we can keep improving it.
You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers also let you block third-party cookies or browse in private/incognito mode. Please note that blocking some cookies may affect how the site works.
Analytics
We use privacy-friendly analytics to understand overall trends — for example, which drink guides get the most visits. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymised; it’s used to spot patterns (like a surge of interest in a new secret-menu drink), not to identify individual visitors.
Third-party services and links
We may use trusted third-party services — such as analytics providers or embedded content (for example, maps or videos) — which process data in line with their own privacy policies. Our site may also link to external websites. We’re not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites, so please check their policies when you visit them.
Data security
We take reasonable steps to protect your information — including using secure connections (HTTPS) and limiting access to data to those who need it. That said, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we can’t guarantee absolute security. Please avoid sending highly sensitive information by email.
Data retention
We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy. Email correspondence is typically kept for up to 12 months so we can follow up on conversations, then deleted. Aggregated analytics data may be kept longer, but it can’t be linked back to you.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Ask what personal information we hold about you
- Ask us to correct anything that’s inaccurate
- Ask us to delete your personal information
- Object to or restrict how we process your information
To exercise any of these rights, just get in touch and we’ll respond as quickly as we can.
Children’s privacy
This site is intended for a general audience and isn’t specifically directed at children under 13. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has shared personal information with us, please contact us and we’ll delete it promptly.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time — for example, if we add new features or change how we handle data. The latest version will always be published on this page, and significant changes will be highlighted here. Continuing to use the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
Contact us
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your information, please reach out through our contact page — we’re happy to help.
