Privacy Policy
Effective date: November 9, 2026
This policy describes the information handled when you use cupandcrema.com (the “Site”). The Site is operated by the Cup and Crema editorial team, based in Vietnam (“Cup and Crema,” “we,” “us”). The Site has no accounts, no store and no checkout, so the amount of personal information involved is small.
Information you choose to send
When you email us or post a comment, we receive the details you include, typically a name, an email address and your message. Comment systems also log an IP address and browser information so spam can be filtered.
Information recorded automatically
Web servers and the services below log technical details of each visit: IP address, browser and device type, pages requested, the page that referred you, and the time of the request.
Cookies and measurement tools
- Necessary cookies keep the Site working and protect it from abuse.
- Google Analytics 4 uses cookies to show us, in aggregate, which guides are read and how people found them. The Google Analytics opt-out add-on lets you decline. Google describes its practices in how it uses information from sites that use its services.
- Microsoft Clarity records clicks, scrolling and page movement in a pseudonymous form so we can see where a page layout fails readers. Sensitive input is masked. See the Microsoft Privacy Statement.
- Advertising: the Site does not currently carry third-party display ads. If that changes, this section will be updated first.
Amazon affiliate links
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Following a link to Amazon.com takes you off the Site, and Amazon may place cookies that attribute your visit to us. Amazon’s reports to us are aggregated, such as clicks and items ordered. They do not tell us your name, address, payment method or what you personally bought. Amazon’s own privacy notice governs what it collects.
What we use information for
We use it to run and secure the Site, answer messages, assess correction requests, keep comments free of spam, find out which pages help readers and which do not, and meet legal obligations. We do not use it for automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects on you.
Who receives information
We do not sell personal information or pass it to anyone for cross-context behavioral advertising. The providers that process data on our behalf are:
- Web hosting: Vietnam
- Network and security: Cloudflare, Inc., which handles IP addresses and may set security cookies
- Email: Cloudflare Email Routing, which forwards messages sent to us
- Analytics: Google LLC (Google Analytics 4) and Microsoft Corporation (Microsoft Clarity)
We may also disclose information when the law requires it, when needed to protect someone’s safety or our legal rights, or if the Site changes owners.
How long we keep it
Emails are kept while we need them and for up to 24 months after that. Published comments stay until they are removed. Analytics data follows the retention setting in each tool.
Your choices
Your browser can block or clear cookies, though some features may stop working. Where the law requires it, a Global Privacy Control signal from your browser is treated as your opt-out from any sale or sharing.
Residents of California, other U.S. states with consumer privacy laws, the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom may have rights to know, correct or delete personal information we hold and to object to certain uses. To make a request, email [email protected]. We will confirm that the request is yours and respond within the period the law sets, and using these rights will not affect how we treat you.
Children
The Site is written for adults and is not aimed at children under 13. A parent or guardian who finds that a child has given us personal information can write to us, and we will erase it.
Processing across borders
Information may be handled in the United States, in Vietnam and in other countries where our providers operate, and those places may have data protection rules that differ from your own.
Security
The Site runs over HTTPS behind a firewall service, and administrator access is restricted. No system can be made perfectly secure.
Links to other sites
Amazon, manufacturers and publications we cite have their own privacy practices, which we do not control.
Updates
When this policy changes, the effective date above changes with it. Significant changes will also be noted on the Site.
