Information We May Collect
Personal Information
Fearless Vegetarian does not require visitors to provide their real name, email address, telephone number, or mailing address simply to browse the website.
Some optional features may allow visitors to voluntarily provide limited information. For example, the Scratch Pad feature allows a visitor to choose a username so that saved Scratch Pad content can be associated with that username.
We do not intentionally request sensitive personal information through the website or the Scratch Pad.
Scratch Pad
Fearless Vegetarian provides a Scratch Pad feature that allows visitors to write and save recipe ideas, ingredients, grocery lists, cooking notes, reminders, and other general notes.
To use the Scratch Pad, you may enter a username. The username is used to locate or create a Scratch Pad associated with that username.
The Scratch Pad may store the username and the content that you voluntarily enter into it. This information is used to provide the Scratch Pad functionality, including saving, retrieving, updating, and clearing your notes.
The Scratch Pad does not currently require an email address, password, real name, telephone number, or mailing address.
Because the current Scratch Pad uses a username rather than password-based authentication, it should not be considered a private or secure storage service. A username may be known or guessed by another person.
Please do not enter passwords, Social Security numbers, financial information, credit card information, medical information, government identification numbers, or other sensitive or confidential information into the Scratch Pad.
