Privacy Policy & Terms of Submission

Overview

AZeats.org is dedicated to preserving the history of Arizona’s restaurant industry. We respect your privacy and are committed to handling any information you share with us responsibly and transparently.

Information Collected via Email

Because AZeats.org does not use contact forms or user accounts, we only receive personal data when you voluntarily send us an email. This may include:

• Your name and email address.
• Information regarding your connection to Arizona's restaurant industry (such as whether you were an owner, employee, supplier, or patron).
• Historical materials you choose to share, including personal memories, written stories, photographs, menus, newspaper clippings, or business records.

How We Use Your Data & Attribution

• Communication: Your email address is strictly used to reply to your inquiries or coordinate details regarding your submissions. We never sell, rent, or trade email addresses, nor do we add you to marketing lists or newsletters.
• Public Attribution: Submissions and donor names are only published on AZeats.org with your explicit permission. If you prefer your story or materials to remain anonymous, we will honor that request.

Copyright & Ownership of Submissions

When contributing photos, documents, or written accounts to AZeats.org:

1. Ownership Guarantee: You must ensure that you own the rights to the materials you submit, or have explicit authorization from the rights holder to share them. AZeats.org does not knowingly publish copyright-infringing content.
2. Permission to Archive & Display: By emailing materials to us for inclusion in the archive, you grant AZeats.org non-exclusive permission to display, format, and preserve those materials on our website and associated historical project channels.

Website Analytics & Server Logs

Like most standard websites, our server automatically records basic technical log data via cPanel Awstats to evaluate site performance and visitor trends. These logs include:

• Browser type and operating system.
• Referring web page.
• Date and time of server requests.
• IP address.

This data is used strictly in aggregate to ensure the technical health and reliability of the website and is not combined with any personal identifiers.

Cookies & Third-Party Links

• Cookies: AZeats.org does not use tracking or advertising cookies.
• External Links: Our website may contain links to external sites or embedded social features (such as official social media pages). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites.
