Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

The short version: We collect as little as possible. We don’t sell your data. We don’t share it with anyone who doesn’t need it to make the show work. That’s it.

Who we are

The See Food Diet is a weekly podcast about food in Columbus, Ohio. We’re Bob, Kate, and Matt — three friends with microphones. This site (seefooddietpod.com) is where we publish our episodes, share restaurant picks, and stay in touch with listeners.

You can reach us at seefooddietpod@gmail.com with any questions about this policy.

What we collect

Contact form

When you fill out the contact form on this site, we receive your name, email address, the subject you selected, and your message. We use this to reply to you. We don’t add you to any mailing list, and we don’t share this information with anyone.

Newsletter / cheat sheet signup

If you sign up for our Columbus food cheat sheet, we collect your email address and store it in Mailchimp. We use it to send you the cheat sheet and occasional updates about the show. You can unsubscribe any time — every email we send includes an unsubscribe link.

Cookies

This site uses standard WordPress cookies to keep you logged in if you have an account (you probably don’t — there are no public accounts on this site). We don’t use advertising cookies or tracking pixels.

Analytics

We may use basic, privacy-respecting analytics (such as server-side log data) to understand how many people visit the site. This doesn’t identify you personally.

Third-party services

We use a small number of third-party services to run the site and show:

• Spotify for Podcasters — hosts our audio files and RSS feed. Spotify’s privacy policy.
• Mailchimp — manages our email list. Mailchimp’s privacy policy.
• Google Maps — powers the Columbus Food Map. Google’s privacy policy.
• WordPress / our hosting provider — hosts the site itself.

We don’t control what these companies do with data they collect through their own services. Check their policies for details.

How long we keep your data

Contact form submissions are kept in our email inbox for as long as they’re useful, then deleted. Newsletter email addresses are kept until you unsubscribe. We don’t hoard data.

Your rights

You can ask us to delete any personal data we hold about you. Email us at seefooddietpod@gmail.com and we’ll take care of it promptly.

Changes to this policy

If we make significant changes, we’ll update the date at the top of this page. We’re a small podcast — we’re not going to change this often.
