PRIVACY COMPLIANCE POLICY FOR END-USERS

INTRODUCTION

In the following this policy, Chefguidelines denotes to the service offered by Chefguidelines (the “Company” or “We”) through the [https://www.chefguidelines.com.au] website (the “Service”). This Privacy Policy describes (i) what information or data we accumulate through your access and use of our web-based Service (ii) the use we generate of such information; and (iii) the security level we offer for shielding such information and data. By stay in [https://www.chefguidelines.com.au] and using the web-based Services offered here, you agree to the terms and state-of-affairs outlined in this policy.

JUDICIAL FRAMEWORK

The Company is domiciled in Australia at the following address: Chefguidelines, PO: 28 Woodloes Street, Piara Waters WA 6112, Australia.

Every data and information storage set-up located only within USA and Australia, and consequently governed by the laws and guidelines of USA and Australia. Additional information about the judicial framework may be displayed in our Transparency Report.

DATA ASSOCIATED TO THE REGISTRATION OF AN USER ACCOUNT

Any user account offered to Chefguidelines through either our que, optional email data verification, or optional announcement/user account recovery setting in your account, is determined private data as demarcated and safeguarded by the Australia governing laws.

Such data or information will only be used to reach you with significant announcements about Chefguidelines, to send you information associated to security, to send you an email with invitation link to generate your Chefguidelines user account, to verify your Chefguidelines user account, or to send you password recovery links – if you request us to enable the option. We may also inform you about new Chefguidelines solutions or services in which you might have an interest and awareness. As the basis of processing of this data is consent, you have full liberty, at any given time, to opt-out of those web-based features through the email request to our support service.

In order to uphold the integrity of the web-based service, Chefguidelines must take reasonable precautions or procedures to circumvent creation of user accounts by untrusted users (bogus or fake or illegitimate user account). This is since if untrusted or illegitimate users use Chefguidelines web-based system to perform various illicit businesses or actions or activities, the Chefguidelines’s IP addresses may blacklist or block by major global Internet Service Providers (ISP), various security service providers, RBL (Real-time Blackhole List), or DNSBL (Domain Name System-based Blackhole List).

In order to pursue our legitimate interest of averting the creation of user accounts by automated bots or bogus human beings, sock-puppets, spammers, or any other illicit users Chefguidelines uses a variation of human verification approaches. You may be requested to verify your authenticity or true human state using either Captcha, Email, or any other reputed tactical approach. The contact details such as IP addresses, phone numbers, and/or email addresses that you provided us are stored temporarily with the applicable safety measures taken in order to send you a verification code embedded IM (Instant Messaging) or email messaging and to check if you are an untrusted or illicit user. If this data is stored permanently, it is always saved as a strong symmetric cryptographic hash, which confirms that the raw data or information values may not be able to deciphered by Chefguidelines in any manner.

Attempting to create multiple user accounts may trigger more problematic state or complex verification approaches such as Phone Calls or SMSs, or even there are other types of puzzling verification factors that we may need to consider. Positively the TOR (The Onion Router) Exit-Mode node ending IPs or some VPN (Virtual Private Network) nodes IPs may also encounter this type of problem, if they are often abused by illicit people, cybercriminals, spammers, or hackers attempting to brute-force passwords, dictionary attacks, hybrid account attacks, or any other web or messaging media attacks, etc. or against the user accounts. If you have a question, please email us at [info@chefguidelines.com].

We do not store Captcha data (resolved) or any other web-based verification results. If you are offered with Email verification, we only save a strong symmetric cryptographic hash of your email address or phone number or other non-sensitive data which is not permanently linked with the user account that you create. Since the hash is symmetric functions are one-way functions, it is truly impossible to reveal or recover your phone number or email or any other raw mode data from that hash by attempting to reverse the hash. Nevertheless, using the identical phone number or any other significant user pertinent data-set will consequence in gaining the identical cryptographic hash, so by comparing cryptographic hashes, we may be able to detect re-use of email addresses or phone number or any other factor for human verification.

DATA OR INFORMATION ASSEMBLY

Our company’s overriding policy is to amass as few user information as conceivable to confirm an entirely private and anonymous user involvement when using the web-based Service. We also have no technical resources to access your encrypted communication and web-based contents.

Service’s user data and information assembly is restricted to the following:

Account Creation: It is compulsory to offer personal information in order to create a user account with Chefguidelines; you are required to mandatorily provide an (external or third-party) email address for important announcement or password recovery or other significant determinations. Should you choose to offer it to us, we do associate with another (external or third-party) email address with your user account (for important notifications, alerts, password recovery, or any other determination). The permissible basis for processing is consent and you have liberty to remove the data in the user account that is not vital for the said business venture by request over an email.

IP Address Logging: By default, Chefguidelines does not keep perpetual IP logs. Nevertheless, IP logs may be saved temporarily to combat fraud and/or abuse, and your IP address may be reserved permanently if you are involved in activities that breach or violate our terms and conditions (DDoS attacks, hacking, spamming or pharming attacks, and phishing attacks against Chefguidelines web infrastructure, brute force attacks, dictionary or hybrid attacks, etc.). Your user login (usual or regular) IP address is saved permanently (until you request to delete it) even if you enable authentication logging for your own user account. The judicial basis of this processing is consent, and you have liberty to opt-in or opt-out this option at any time by sending us an email with a formal request with regards to your Chefguidelines user account. The judicial basis of this data processing is our legitimate concentration to defend our authentic web-based service against nefarious performances by the illicit people.

The judicial basis for processing is our legitimate concentration to troubleshoot or enhancement of security, more proficiently and enhance the quality of the Chefguidelines web-based services.

User Account Activity: Because of the limitations of the specific web-based protocols that stated in both TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and UDP (User Datagram Protocol), we may have access to the following web-oriented metadata: the IP address of user hit-counter and incoming messages originated from sender and recipient email addresses, last login time, and other information that categorized as non-critical. We do not have access to encrypted/signed (Ex. S/MIME (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) or PGP (Pretty Good Privacy), etc.) contents then again unencrypted and unsigned messages or communication sent from external providers to Chefguidelines are scanned for Messaging Threats, Exploits, Zero-Days, and Malware to follow the legitimate concentration of the defense of our users.

Native Software: When you use our native software programs, we (or the mobile application or software platform providers) may amass specific information in addition to the information stated somewhere else in this Policy. Any private data acquired throughout this process is completely anonymized. We may use mobile or web-based analytics software (such as Google Analytics based Statistics and Crash Reporting, App Store Application Statistics, Play Store Application Statistics, or Self-Hosted Sentry Crash Reporting, Garbage Collector Applications with Custom APIs or Standard APIs of other third-part application providers, or Debug Reports) to send crash, debug, or other associated information to our developers so that we can fix bugs or vulnerabilities rapidly. None of the software on our web-based applications will ever access or track any Geo location-based information from your device or system at any time. Some third-party platforms (such as the Apple App Store, Microsoft Store, Google Play Store, or etc.) may also collect aggregate, anonymous statistics such as Telemetry data like which type of devices, systems, and Operating Systems (OS) associated information, Geo-Location with Location Tracking, etc. that are most frequently used or other user-pertinent analytical or statistical data and may be regulated by the privacy policy and/or terms and conditions of the third-parties.

Payment or Financial Information: The Company depend on third parties to process credit or debit card, PayPal, and other conventional or electronic transactions approaches so the Company inevitably must share your payment or monetary information with third parties.
