Privacy policy

Roosterfish Bar is an independent editorial publication operated as roosterfishbar.com from Malta. This policy explains how this website handles personal data and how to contact its operator.

For privacy questions or requests, write to webmaster@roosterfishbar.com.

What this site collects

You can read our articles without an account. We do not use analytics, advertising trackers, comment forms, newsletter signups or visitor profiles. We do not sell personal data or share it for targeted advertising.

Opening a web page still sends technical information to the services that deliver it. This can include your IP address, the page requested, the time, browser details and the page that linked you here. Hosting and security services may process this information to deliver the website, prevent abuse and diagnose faults.

Hosting and page delivery

Vercel hosts this website. Its infrastructure may process request and security data in countries outside Malta and the European Economic Area. See Vercel's privacy notice for information about its processing, transfers and safeguards.

Our pages use AMP, a web format whose page software is delivered from the AMP project's content delivery network. Your browser contacts that network when it loads the software. Search services may also deliver cached copies of AMP pages under their own policies.

Our article images and fonts are served with the site. We do not embed social-media feeds, advertising pixels or video players.

Cookies and tracking

We do not set analytics or advertising cookies, and we do not use local storage to track reading habits. Hosting services may apply security measures when necessary to protect the website. Your browser and any search service through which you access a page may have their own settings and data practices.

If you email us

If you contact us, your email service and ours process your address, message and any attachments. We use that information to answer your request, address a correction or handle a privacy concern. Please send only what is needed for your request, and avoid sending sensitive personal information.

We keep correspondence for as long as it is needed to resolve the matter and any related legal obligation or dispute. We then delete it or remove identifying details where practical. Service providers may retain their own technical records under their applicable policies.

Why information is processed

Where data protection law applies, we rely on our legitimate interests in running a secure, reliable publication and responding to correspondence. We may also process information when required by law. We do not make automated decisions about readers or create profiles for advertising.

Who may receive information

Information needed to operate the site or handle a message may be processed by hosting, security and email providers. We may disclose information when legally required or when necessary to address fraud, misuse or a legal claim. We do not provide reader mailing lists to product brands.

Your choices and rights

Depending on the law that applies, you may request access to personal data, correction, deletion, restriction of processing or a portable copy. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests. Some rights depend on the type of data and why it is held.

Email us with enough detail to identify the matter. We may need to confirm your identity before disclosing or changing personal information. You can also complain to Malta's Information and Data Protection Commissioner or another competent data protection authority.

Links to other websites

Articles link to product makers, retailers and other resources. Those sites set their own privacy and cookie practices. Following a link takes you outside this website; review the destination's policy before sharing information or buying anything.
