Your information
Privacy Policy
Effective 1 August 2026
This policy explains how Oxalate Info handles information when you use oxalateinfo.com, including information associated with analytics, advertising, browser storage and contacting us.
Who we are
Oxalate Info is an independent educational website operated from Australia. It provides general food information and does not require an account. Questions about this policy can be sent to godrie.maxime@gmail.com.
Information handled by Oxalate Info
Favourites and preferences
Your saved food favourites and certain app preferences, such as whether an installation prompt has been dismissed, are stored in your browser's local storage. This information remains on your device and is not sent to us. You can remove it by clearing this website's stored site data in your browser.
Offline website data
If your browser supports the installable web app, a service worker may cache public website files on your device so the site can load faster or work offline. This cache does not contain a user account or medical record and can be removed through your browser or by uninstalling the app.
If you contact us by email, we receive your email address and anything you choose to include in your message. We use that information to read, respond to and manage your enquiry.
Hosting and security information
Our hosting and delivery providers may process technical information needed to deliver and protect the website, such as your IP address, browser or device type, requested page, date and time, and diagnostic or security logs.
Google Analytics
Oxalate Info uses Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors find and use the website and to help us improve it. When Google Analytics loads, your browser may send Google information such as the page URL and title, referring website, IP address, approximate location, browser and device information, and engagement information such as page views, scrolling and outbound-link interactions.
Google Analytics may use cookies and other identifiers to distinguish browsers and sessions and to produce usage reports. We do not configure Google Analytics to receive the contents of your food searches, your favourites list, your email address or medical records.
Google processes Analytics information under its own terms and privacy policies. You can learn more from Google's explanation of information from partner sites.
Google advertising
Oxalate Info uses Google AdSense to support the cost of operating the website. Third-party vendors, including Google, may place and read cookies on your browser or use web beacons, IP addresses and other identifiers as a result of advertising being served or measured on this website.
Your browser may automatically send Google information such as the URL of the page you visit, your IP address, device and browser information, and information about your interaction with an advertisement. Google may use this information to deliver and measure advertising, limit how often ads appear, detect fraud and abuse, maintain its services and, depending on your settings and consent, personalise content and ads.
Google and its advertising partners manage their information under their own policies. Read how Google uses information from sites that use its services and Google's Privacy Policy.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, local storage and device or browser identifiers. We use local storage for favourites and app preferences. Google and other vendors may use cookies and similar technologies for analytics, advertising, measurement, security and the other purposes described above.
Depending on your location, applicable law may require consent before certain advertising technologies are used. You can block or delete cookies and site data using your browser settings, although doing so may affect saved preferences and some website features.
Your privacy and advertising choices
You can manage Google Analytics and advertising through:
- Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
- Google My Ad Center
- Google's partner-site advertising settings
Turning off personalised advertising does not necessarily remove ads; you may instead see advertising based on general factors such as the page's topic or your approximate location.
How information may be shared
Information may be processed by service providers that help operate the website, including hosting, security, analytics, email and advertising providers. We may also disclose information if reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to a lawful request, protect rights or safety, or investigate misuse. We do not sell the favourites stored on your device.
Retention and security
Browser storage remains on your device until you remove it or the browser does so. Emails are retained only for as long as reasonably needed to manage the enquiry, maintain records or meet legal obligations. Our service providers determine retention for information they process under their own policies. We take reasonable steps to protect information, but no website or internet transmission is completely secure.
Children's privacy
Oxalate Info is a general-audience educational website and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly ask children to create an account or provide personal information through the website.
External links
The website links to external health-information and service-provider websites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.
Changes and questions
We may update this policy when the website or its services change. The effective date above will be updated when material changes are made. For privacy questions or requests, email godrie.maxime@gmail.com.
