Welcome to the legal page. You are a lawyer, a regulator, a competitor or lost. All four are welcome. Who runs this site, what it knows about you and what you may reuse: a company, almost nothing, and the papers. That was the page. The rest is us enjoying ourselves.
No cookies. No analytics. No banner pretending you have a choice.
No forms, no accounts, no newsletter. We cannot leak what we never collected. It is a remarkably cheap security strategy.
The server that answers fairfooddata.org sees your IP address. Servers are like that. We have spoken to it. Nothing changed.
Email us and we keep the email. That is the entire data empire. Nobody has offered to buy it.
The pages are static files. They read nothing from your browser and write nothing to it. Sites that say they value your privacy usually mean its resale value. This one has nothing to resell, which a business school would call a missed opportunity.
No cookies and no local storage. Nothing stays in your browser between visits. So no banner asked you to accept our hundreds of valued partners on the way in. You did not have to find the Reject all button, in grey on grey, behind Manage preferences, under Legitimate interest, pre-ticked. There are no partners. We checked. We are a little lonely.
No visit counter, no tracking pixel, no fingerprint. No script on these pages reports back. They have no idea who you are, how you got here or how long you will stay. No funnel was optimised in the making of this page. Our conversion rate is unknown and we intend to keep it that way. You could be a bot. We wish you well either way.
Nothing to fill in and nothing to sign up for. No pop-up will offer you ten percent off for your email address three seconds after you arrive. No second pop-up will ask whether you are sure you enjoy paying full price. The only way to reach us from here is to write that email yourself. We know. Barbaric.
Fonts, images, video, charts and scripts travel with the page. It requests nothing from any other host. No third party was invited, so none came. Not even the one that is on every other site. It will cope. It has your data from everywhere else.
A page cannot reach you without somebody seeing the request. That is how the internet works, not a confession. Here is everybody who sees yours. It is a short list. We counted, because nobody else was going to.
The files are stored on Swarm, in a feed that Fair Food Data updates. The footer states until when that storage is paid, with a link to pay it yourself. Most sites hide their hosting bill. Ours comes with a tip jar. Feel free. No, seriously. Feel free.
The site needs no server. The name fairfooddata.org has one anyway, because people insist on typing things: a proxy that fetches the pages from Swarm through the bzz.limo gateway, keeps them a few minutes and hands them to you. The gateway sees the proxy, not you. Your IP address stops at the proxy.
The servers in front of the proxy log your IP address, your browser and the page you asked for. Any web server does. The proxy's own log leaves the IP out. Those logs keep the service running and the scanners out, and are kept only as long as that takes. Nobody here calls them insights. Scanners keep asking the proxy for a WordPress login. There is no WordPress. We admire the optimism.
Fair Food Data is the controller and its hosting provider runs those servers on its behalf. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a site that stays up: GDPR Article 6(1)(f). Yes, legitimate interest. For once it is one.
The footer links two gateways, eth.limo and bzz.limo, for those who would rather skip the proxy. Go through one and it sees your IP address, your browser and the pages you ask for. Those logs are the gateway's. Fair Food Data does not receive them and has not asked. We would not know what to do with them. Frame them, perhaps.
Links lead to GitHub, X, Etherscan, OpenStreetMap, Swarm's stamp tool and the data protection authority. Each applies its own privacy policy, usually a longer one, with a banner, and sometimes a second banner about the first banner. Nothing reaches them until you follow a link. After that you are on your own. Godspeed.
Apart from the server log above, email is the only personal data that reaches Fair Food Data through this site. It arrives only if you send it. This is the part the law actually reads, so we behave. Mostly.
Your address, your name if you sign, and what you write. The site lists two mailboxes: hello@fairfooddata.org and operators@fairfooddata.org. Neither is a no-reply address. We find those rude. Imagine knocking on a door with a sign that says do not knock back.
To answer you and to follow up on what you asked. That is the whole plan. There is no nurturing sequence and no drip campaign. Nobody will circle back, touch base or reach out. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in answering you. If you ask for an offer, it is the steps taken before a contract. GDPR Article 6(1)(f) and 6(1)(b), for the two people who look those up. Hello to both.
FAIRFOODDATA, LDA is the controller. Our email provider stores the mailbox on our behalf. Contact data is not sold, not shared and not used for advertising. There is no list to put you on and no partner to sell you to. We keep saying partners. There are none. It is starting to hurt.
While the conversation is useful to answer you or to work with you. Ask and it is deleted, unless the law requires us to keep it. Asking takes one email. No form, no captcha, no survey about why you are leaving. No month of emails about everything you are going to miss.
Access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection and portability. They cover the email and the server log alike. Write to hello@fairfooddata.org. No decision about you is automated and nobody is profiled. You are not a segment, a persona or a lead. You are a person who reads legal pages, which is rarer and frankly more worrying.
You can also complain to the Portuguese data protection authority, CNPD. We would rather hear it first, but the choice is yours.
The batch page shows one real lot, 7ZxK9mQ4Pd2nR8. It is a record of fruit, weight and machines. The blueberries were not asked for consent. Blueberries have no rights under the GDPR. We looked. They were then frozen and dried, which is also not covered.
The record names a farm and a plant. The farm's position on the map is approximate and is not part of the record.
The record names two roles: field operator and plant operator. It names no person. The machines get more coverage than the people. The machines are fine with it.
The papers are open. The names and the marks are not. Take the first, leave the rest. That is the entire intellectual property strategy. It fits on a napkin.
The four papers are under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0. Copy, share and adapt them. Say where they came from: Fair Food Data. That is the whole price. 198 pages, yours for one sentence. The names BDF and Bio-Digital Footprint are not covered by that licence.
Text and design are © 2026 FAIRFOODDATA, LDA. Quote it freely. Copying the whole site is a different conversation, and a boring one. If you copy this page, at least keep the jokes.
None of them endorses this site. All of them are in it. Their licences are short, and nobody reads those either.
The Ethereum, Swarm, GitHub and X marks belong to their owners. Each one marks a link, not an endorsement. If any of them endorsed us you would have heard. We would not shut up about it.
You read a legal page to the end. That makes you rare. We cannot say how rare: we do not count. If it beat the last terms of service you accepted without reading, the bar was on the floor. We stepped over it anyway. You may now return to your life.
