Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-03

Introduction

This privacy notice explains how small-batch-cheese-aging-journal.hub2.day (operating as RindLog) handles information when you visit or use this site. RindLog is a focused, independent web utility for home cheese makers. We keep data practices simple and proportionate to that purpose.

Information You Provide

RindLog is primarily a client-side tool. Your cheese batch entries, aging notes, tasting observations, and similar project data are processed in your browser and stored locally on your device (for example, via localStorage or IndexedDB). We do not operate a custom backend that stores your journal entries on our servers.

If you contact us at hello@small-batch-cheese-aging-journal.hub2.day, we will use your email address and message only to respond to your request and to maintain basic records of support communications.

Server and Security Logs

Our hosting and infrastructure providers may automatically collect limited technical information when you access the site, such as IP address, request timestamps, browser type, referring URLs, and error details. These logs are used for security, abuse prevention, troubleshooting, and availability monitoring.

We do not use these logs to build individual profiles of visitors. Log data is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for operational and security purposes, and is then deleted or anonymized according to our providers’ standard retention practices.

Cookies and Local Storage

RindLog may use cookies and local storage to:

• Remember your preferences and settings within the journaling interface.
• Support core functionality, such as saving and loading your cheese batch data in the browser.
• Support advertising and related measurement where applicable (see Advertising below).

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies or clearing local storage may affect the functionality of the journaling features.

Advertising and Google AdSense

RindLog may display advertisements, including through Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies to:

• Serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other sites.
• Measure ad performance and interactions.
• Limit the number of times you see a particular ad.

Where required by law, we seek your consent before allowing certain non-essential cookies or similar technologies to be set. You can update your choices through the consent mechanism provided on the site.

For more information about how Google uses data, see Google’s Privacy Policy and Google’s information on ads and data use.

GDPR / EEA / UK Rights

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with similar laws, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including:

• The right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you.
• The right to object to or restrict certain processing.
• The right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
• The right to data portability where applicable.

To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@small-batch-cheese-aging-journal.hub2.day. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable law.

CCPA / CPRA Rights (California)

If you are a California resident, you may have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, such as:

• The right to know what personal information is collected and how it is used.
• The right to request deletion of your personal information.
• The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, if applicable.
• The right to non-discrimination for exercising your rights.

To make a request, contact us at hello@small-batch-cheese-aging-journal.hub2.day. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request.

Service Providers

We rely on third-party service providers for hosting, infrastructure, analytics, and advertising. These providers may process limited technical data (such as IP addresses and access logs) on our behalf, under contractual obligations to protect that data and use it only for the purposes we specify.

We do not sell your personal information. Any sharing with service providers is limited to what is necessary to operate and secure the site.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this notice, or as required by law. Browser-local data remains on your device until you clear it. Server and security logs are retained for a limited period consistent with operational and security needs.

Children’s Privacy

RindLog is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at hello@small-batch-cheese-aging-journal.hub2.day so we can take appropriate steps.

Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-Party Links

RindLog may link to external websites, tools, or resources that are not operated by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

International Processing

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own, including countries that may not provide the same level of data protection. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms, to protect your data.

Changes to This Notice

We may update this privacy notice from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes indicates your acceptance of the revised notice.
