🔒 Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 2026
The Short Version
We are a website about a Victorian chef throwing salt at a rude customer. We are not the NSA. We collect the bare minimum to keep the salt counter ticking and the leaderboard honest.
What We Collect
- Payment data: Processed entirely by Cashfree Payments. We never see your card number. Cashfree Payments is PCI-DSS compliant and has its own privacy policy that is considerably longer than this one.
- Name / nickname: Only if you choose to appear on the leaderboard. You can use "Anonymous Salt Thrower" and we will respect that deeply.
- Salt count: How many grams you have contributed. This is the whole point of the website.
- Basic analytics: Page views, device type, country. Standard stuff. No creepy cross-site tracking.
What We Do NOT Collect
- Your browsing history on other sites
- Your location beyond country level
- Your email address (unless you write to us)
- Your opinion on thick-cut potato slices (though we suspect you are on Chef Crum's side)
Cookies
We use a single local-storage entry to remember your salt contribution across visits. It is not a cookie. It is a pinch of digital salt. You can clear it any time by clearing your browser storage, though you will lose your count and that would be a shame.
