1. Data controller
The controller responsible for personal data collected through this website is:
Gustavo Polenta
Acassuso, Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina
Email: contacto@quali-food.com
Website: https://quali-food.com
This Privacy Policy explains what information QualiFood may collect, how it is used, how long it is retained and the rights users may exercise.
2. Data we may collect
QualiFood may process the following categories of information:
- Data provided through the contact form, such as name, email address, subject and content of the enquiry.
- Data voluntarily included in email communications.
- Technical information necessary for the operation and security of the website, such as IP address, browser type, device, access date and time, and technical server logs.
- Statistical information about use of the website, only when the user gives the relevant consent.
- Cookie consent preferences.
We do not intentionally request sensitive data through the contact form. Please do not include confidential or sensitive information that is unnecessary for your enquiry.
3. Purposes of processing
Personal data may be used to:
- Receive, manage and respond to enquiries.
- Maintain communications relating to the services, courses, tools or resources offered by QualiFood.
- Ensure the operation, integrity and security of the website.
- Prevent misuse, unauthorised access attempts and other malicious activity.
- Understand website use in aggregate and improve its content, provided consent has been given for statistics cookies.
- Comply with legal obligations or respond to valid requests from competent authorities.
Data will not be used for purposes incompatible with those for which they were collected.
4. Contact form and email
QualiFood uses WPForms Lite to manage the contact form. Data submitted through the form are not stored as entries in the WPForms database. The information is transmitted as a notification to QualiFood’s institutional email address.
Messages and replies may be retained in the email system for the time necessary to handle and follow up the enquiry. As a general rule, they may be retained for up to 24 months from the last communication, unless a contractual relationship, legal obligation, dispute or justified reason requires longer retention.
Submitting the form is voluntary. Without the information necessary to identify and respond to an enquiry, we may be unable to handle it adequately.
5. Cookies and related technologies
QualiFood uses functional cookies essential to the operation of the website and, with the user’s consent, cookies or technologies for measurement and external content.
The consent banner allows users to accept, reject or configure non-essential categories. Preferences can subsequently be changed using the consent management mechanism available on the website.
Detailed information about cookies, their purposes, duration and providers can be found in our Cookie Policy.
6. Google Analytics
QualiFood uses Google Analytics 4 to obtain aggregate statistical information about use of the website, such as pages visited, approximate session duration, device type and general traffic origin.
Google Analytics is activated only in accordance with the consent preferences configured by the user. Google states that Google Analytics 4 does not log or store complete IP addresses. Information may be processed by Google under its own terms and privacy policies.
You can reject statistics cookies through the banner or subsequently change your consent preferences.
7. YouTube content
Some QualiFood pages contain videos embedded from YouTube, a service provided by Google.
Videos remain blocked until the user consents to the relevant category. If content is authorised and played, YouTube may receive technical information, use cookies or identifiers and associate the interaction with a Google account if the user is signed in.
Processing by Google and YouTube is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
8. Providers and recipients
To operate the website and provide its services, some data may be processed by technology providers acting on their own behalf or as service providers, including:
- Hostinger, as the provider of web hosting, infrastructure and email.
- Google, in connection with Google Analytics and YouTube content.
- WPForms, as the component used to manage the contact form within WordPress.
- Complianz, as the tool used to manage consent and cookie preferences.
We do not sell or rent personal data. Nor do we share them with third parties for their own advertising purposes.
Data may be disclosed when necessary to comply with a legal obligation, respond to a valid order from a competent authority, protect website security, or exercise or defend rights.
9. International transfers
Some technology providers may process information on servers located outside Argentina. This may involve international data transfers.
Where applicable, we will seek to ensure that this processing is carried out through providers offering appropriate contractual, technical and organisational measures, in accordance with applicable law.
10. Information retention
Data will be retained only for the time necessary to fulfil the purpose for which they were obtained and to meet legal or security obligations.
In particular:
- Enquiries received by email may, as a general rule, be retained for up to 24 months from the last communication.
- Technical and security logs will be retained for the periods established by the hosting provider and as necessary to protect the website.
- Google Analytics information will be retained in accordance with the retention settings configured in that service.
- Consent preferences will be retained for the periods specified in the Cookie Policy.
When data are no longer necessary, they will be deleted or anonymised, unless retention is required by a legal obligation or a duly justified legitimate reason.
11. Security
We adopt reasonable technical and organisational measures intended to protect information against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, disclosure or destruction.
However, no Internet transmission or storage system can guarantee absolute security. We therefore also recommend that users do not submit unnecessary confidential information through the form.
12. Data subjects’ rights
Under Argentina’s Personal Data Protection Law No. 25,326, data subjects may request:
- Information about the processing of their data.
- Access to their personal data.
- Rectification or updating of inaccurate data.
- Erasure of data where applicable.
- Withdrawal of consent, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
To exercise these rights, send a request to contacto@quali-food.com, stating the right you wish to exercise and providing the information necessary to establish the requester’s identity.
The right of access may be exercised free of charge at intervals of no less than six months, unless a legitimate interest is demonstrated under Law No. 25,326.
The Agency for Access to Public Information (AAIP), as the supervisory authority under Law No. 25,326, is empowered to handle complaints and claims concerning non-compliance with personal data protection rules. Further information is available on the AAIP website.
13. External websites and services
The website may contain links to external pages or services. QualiFood does not control their privacy practices and is not responsible for the processing of data by those third parties. We recommend reviewing their respective policies before providing personal information.
14. Changes to this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect changes in website operation, the services used or applicable legislation.
The current version will be published on this page, indicating the date of its latest update.
