We use what you share with the sole purpose of responding to your request and serving our professional relationship.
As you browse the website, we may use standard web server logs and analytics tools to record technical information described above. This is done to monitor site performance, identify technical issues, understand broad usage patterns, and improve the quality of the website experience for all visitors.
Occasionally we may receive limited business information from partners who refer projects to us, such as a name and a general description of a project. In these cases the referring partner normally seeks your consent before sharing details, and we treat the information under the same privacy standards set out in this policy.
We use the information we collect for a set of clearly defined purposes. We never sell your personal information, and we never use it for purposes that are not disclosed in this policy. The principal uses include the following.
Where we rely on your consent to process information for a specific purpose, we will obtain that consent before we begin processing and we will honour your right to withdraw it at any time. We keep the scope of processing narrow so that we disclose only what is necessary to deliver value to you.
We process personal information in ways that are fair and lawful. Depending on where you are located and the nature of our interaction, we rely on one or more of the following lawful bases for processing.
Where you have given clear permission for us to process your information for a stated purpose, we rely on that consent. You may withdraw consent at any time, and we will stop processing your information for that purpose without jeopardising services already delivered.
When you engage us for product development or co-manufacturing services, processing is necessary to perform the contract between us. This covers project planning, production, quality testing, and delivery of the services you purchase.
We may process information when necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided such interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms. This includes maintaining website security, analysing aggregate usage, and managing our business operations. We balance these interests carefully and document our reasoning where appropriate.
There are occasions where we must process information to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation. This may include record keeping, reporting, or responding to lawful requests from authorities.
We treat your information as confidential and we disclose it only in the limited circumstances described below. We do not rent, sell, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.
We may share information with trusted service providers who help us operate the website, manage our communications, or support our compliance obligations. These providers are bound by confidentiality agreements and are permitted to use your information only to perform services on our behalf, never for their own purposes.
We may share limited information with legal, accounting, and regulatory advisors when necessary to obtain professional advice or to meet legal compliance requirements. This sharing is treated with the same confidentiality standards applied to our own internal information.
We may disclose information when required to do so by law, regulation, subpoena, or other legal process, or when we reasonably believe such disclosure is necessary to comply with the law, prevent fraud, or protect the safety or rights of individuals and the company.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganisation, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, personal information we hold may be transferred as part of the transaction. We will take reasonable steps to ensure the receiving party protects your information in a manner consistent with this policy.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time.
We may place strictly necessary cookies that are essential for basic site functions such as maintaining a secure session and remembering your navigation choices. We may also use analytics cookies that help us understand which pages are most popular, how long visitors stay, and how the site can be improved for speed and clarity.
Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through your settings. You can usually find these controls in the privacy or security section of your browser preferences.

We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles about you, and we never combine cookie data with personal information for the purpose of tracking you across unrelated websites.
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, as well as to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
Enquiries and correspondence are typically retained for a reasonable period so that we can respond to follow-up questions and maintain continuity in our relationship. Records relating to active or recent product development projects may be retained longer so that we can support warranty, recall, quality, and regulatory activities.
When the information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it in a secure manner. The exact retention period depends on the type of information and the applicable legal and business requirements, and we review our retention schedules regularly to avoid keeping data for longer than a sensible business reason requires.
We take the security of your personal information seriously and employ appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
Our measures include secure data transmission where applicable, restricted access to personal information within our organisation, and periodic reviews of our security practices. We train our team members on data protection responsibilities and we require that any third party handling data on our behalf maintains comparable standards.
While no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, we work continuously to improve our safeguards. In the unlikely event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you and the relevant authorities promptly in accordance with applicable law.
Our services are intended for businesses and adults engaged in food product development and manufacturing. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and the website is not designed to attract children under the age of 16.

We encourage parents and guardians to supervise their children online and to teach them about safe internet behaviour, including not providing personal information to websites without permission.

In certain circumstances you may request that we delete your personal information, for example where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
You may have the right to restrict our processing of your information in certain situations, or to object to processing where we rely on a legitimate interest as our legal basis.
Where applicable, you may request that we provide your personal information to you in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of any processing carried out before the withdrawal.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information in the Contact Us section. We will respond to your verified request within the timeframes required by applicable law. Please note that we may need to verify your identity before acting on your request.
