If you contact us by email or through another contact method, we may receive information such as:

• Your email address
• Your name, if you choose to provide it

We use this information only as reasonably necessary to respond to your enquiry, review feedback, investigate a correction, or provide support.

7. Third-Party Services

Top Cooking Oils is hosted using Google's Blogger platform and may use third-party services for functions such as analytics, advertising, website performance, embedded content, images, or other technical features.

These third parties may process limited information according to their own privacy policies.

We do not control the privacy practices of independent third-party services.

8. External Links

Our articles may contain links to government agencies, health organisations, academic publications, manufacturers, retailers, or other third-party websites.

When you follow a link to another website, that website operates under its own privacy policy and terms.

Top Cooking Oils is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of websites that we do not operate.

9. Affiliate Links

Top Cooking Oils may use affiliate links in the future.

If affiliate links are used, we may earn a commission when a visitor clicks an affiliate link and makes a qualifying purchase from a third-party retailer. This would not increase the price paid by the visitor.

Affiliate relationships do not mean that Top Cooking Oils sells the product directly.

Affiliate partners may use cookies or similar technologies to correctly attribute referrals or purchases.

Where affiliate links are used, we aim to disclose them clearly.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information directly to us without appropriate permission, please contact us so we can review the situation.

11. Data Retention

Different types of information may be retained for different periods.

Analytics, advertising, and technical data may be retained by third-party providers according to their own settings and policies.

Email correspondence may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to answer enquiries, maintain records, investigate problems, prevent abuse, or meet legal obligations.
