Privacy note
for Plate Evidence.

This note is for the Plate Evidence website and the Recall Watch email list. It is written in plain English. It is not a substitute for a solicitor’s review, and we will update it if the way we collect or use information changes.

Who we are

Plate Evidence is an editorial project of Jonathan Griffiths. The blog is published at this website. The YouTube channel is @PlateEvidence.

For questions about this note, use the contact details on the YouTube channel’s About page, or write via the site once a public email address is published here.

What we collect

If you join Recall Watch, we collect:

• the email address you type into the form
• the fact that you ticked the consent box
• the date and the page you signed up from
• any later unsubscribe request

We do not ask for your name, phone number or postal address on this form. Server logs may also record a technical address (IP) and browser details in the ordinary way a website does.

Why we collect it

We use your email only to:

• send the weekly Recall Watch email about official UK food alerts
• send the free allergen-page excerpt from the Label Cheat Sheet, as a lead magnet you asked for
• send rare service messages, such as a change to this note or a problem with delivery

The legal basis is your consent (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(a) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations for email marketing). You can withdraw that consent at any time by unsubscribing.

What we do not do

We do not sell your email. We do not share it with other brands for their marketing. We do not use it to message you about Carnivore Muscle, or about any other project, unless you have separately asked us to.

How long we keep it

We keep your address on the list until you unsubscribe, or until the list is closed. After you unsubscribe we may keep a suppression record so we do not email you again by mistake.

Who processes it

The list is intended to be stored as contacts on the Plate Evidence Wix site, labelled “Recall Watch”. If that storage is not available, we will use another form or list tool and update this note with the name of that processor.

If you later buy the Label Cheat Sheet, payment is handled by the payment provider shown at checkout. We do not see your full card number.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of the information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, delete it, or restrict how we use it, and you can object to or withdraw consent for email. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.

To exercise a right, use the unsubscribe link in any Recall Watch email, or contact us as above.

Cookies and analytics

This site is a simple, static blog. We do not currently run a marketing-analytics or advertising cookie on these pages. If that changes, we will say so here.
