6. Privacy Policy & CCPA Compliance

Smart Food Zone respects your privacy. We believe you should be able to read about nutrition without being tracked, profiled, or targeted with ads. Our approach to analytics reflects that belief.

This website uses Umami, an open-source, privacy-focused analytics platform. Umami is fundamentally different from tools like Google Analytics. It does not use cookies, does not collect personal data, does not track you across websites, and does not build a profile of your browsing habits. It collects only aggregate, non-personally identifiable information such as page views, referring URLs, browser type, device type, and general geographic location (country level). No IP addresses are stored. No fingerprinting techniques are used. There is nothing to opt out of because there is nothing being collected about you as an individual.

We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, social media tracking scripts, or any other third-party tracking technology. We do not share data with advertisers. We do not sell, rent, or trade any user information to third parties for any purpose.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have the following rights:

• Right to Know: You may request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the sources of that information, the business purpose for collecting it, and the categories of third parties with whom it is shared.
• Right to Delete: You may request deletion of any personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions permitted by law.
• Right to Opt-Out: You have the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information. Smart Food Zone does not sell personal information.
• Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.

Because we use cookie-free analytics and do not collect personal data, there is very little information to disclose, delete, or opt out of. However, we fully support your rights under CCPA and will respond to any verifiable request. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at getdetox@proton.me. We will respond within 45 days as required by law.

7. Governing Law

These terms and conditions, and any disputes arising from or related to your use of Smart Food Zone, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in the State of California for the resolution of any disputes.

9. Accessibility Statement

Smart Food Zone is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including individuals with disabilities. We design and develop this website to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards as published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

Our specific accessibility measures include:

• Semantic HTML: We use proper heading hierarchy (h1 through h6), landmark regions (nav, main, footer), and meaningful element structure so assistive technologies can accurately interpret page content.
• Color contrast: All text meets or exceeds the WCAG 2.1 Level AA minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text, ensuring readability for users with low vision or color deficiencies.
• Keyboard navigation: Every interactive element on this site, including navigation links, buttons, and form controls, is fully operable using a keyboard alone. A visible skip-to-content link is provided on every page.
• Screen reader compatibility: We use ARIA labels, roles, and live regions where appropriate, and we test with common screen readers to verify that content is announced correctly.
• Alternative text: All meaningful images include descriptive alt text. Decorative images are marked as presentational so they do not create noise for screen reader users.
• Responsive design: The site adapts to different screen sizes and supports text resizing up to 200% without loss of content or functionality.

We test our pages using a combination of automated tools and manual review. If you encounter any accessibility barriers on this website or have suggestions for improvement, please contact us at getdetox@proton.me. Include the page URL and a description of the issue, and we will make reasonable efforts to address it promptly.

10. Nutritional Disclaimer

The nutrition information published on Smart Food Zone is intended for general educational purposes only. It is not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for consultation with a registered dietitian, licensed nutritionist, physician, or other qualified healthcare provider.

Nutritional needs vary significantly from person to person based on age, sex, weight, activity level, health conditions, medications, and other factors. What works well for one person may not be appropriate for another. The general guidance on this site should not be used to self-diagnose or self-treat any health condition, nutritional deficiency, or dietary concern.

If you have a medical condition, food allergy, eating disorder, or any health concern that may be affected by dietary changes, consult your healthcare provider before making significant modifications to your diet. This is especially important for pregnant or nursing individuals, children, older adults, and anyone managing a chronic condition such as diabetes, kidney disease, or heart disease.

Smart Food Zone does not endorse specific foods, supplements, or dietary products as treatments or cures for any medical condition. Any mention of health benefits associated with particular foods or nutrients reflects the current scientific consensus as we understand it, and should not be interpreted as a therapeutic recommendation.
