Privacy Policy

Effective November 2, 2026

This policy explains what information the Food Recall Monitor API (“Service”), operated by Leland Wright, collects and how it is used.

1. What we collect

• API usage data: a hashed form of your API key, request counts per month, request timestamps, endpoints and query parameters, and response status — used for quotas, billing, abuse prevention and reliability.
• Technical logs: IP address, user agent and request metadata in short-lived web server logs.
• Contact information: if you email us (e.g. to request a key), your name, email address and message.
• Marketplace data: if you subscribe through a marketplace such as RapidAPI, the marketplace handles your account and payment and may share limited subscription details (e.g. plan level) with us. Their privacy policies apply to that data.

We do not collect payment card details directly, and the landing page uses no tracking cookies or third-party analytics.

2. How we use it

To operate, secure and improve the Service, enforce quotas and Terms, respond to you, and meet legal obligations. We do not sell personal information.

3. Sharing

Only with service providers that host or deliver the Service (e.g. our cloud hosting provider and marketplaces you choose), when required by law, or to protect the Service and its users.

4. Retention

Monthly usage counters are kept for up to 24 months for billing and abuse prevention; web server logs are kept for a short period; email correspondence as long as needed to support you.

5. Your choices

You may request access to or deletion of personal information we hold about you by emailing us. Deleting a key's data may end access to the Service.

6. Security

Traffic is encrypted with HTTPS; API keys are stored server-side with restricted access and usage is tracked by key hash. No method of transmission or storage is fully secure.

7. Recall data

Recall records come from public FDA and USDA sources and may contain business names and addresses published by those agencies; they do not include consumer personal data.

8. Children

The Service is intended for developers and businesses and is not directed to children under 13.

9. Changes

We may update this policy and will post the new effective date here.
