Privacy Policy
Last updated: 15 October 2026
Who we are
Forkpie is operated by Hangatonic S.R.L. (trade registry no. J12/6512/2017, fiscal code RO38521197), based in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. We are the data controller for the personal data described here. You can contact us at hello@forkpie.com. This policy applies to the forkpie.com website.
What data we collect on the website
Email address. If you join the early access programme or ask for tips, we store your email address together with your language, the topic you signed up from, and the campaign link you arrived through, if there was one. Programme applicants also tell us which phone they use, which store account the invite should go to, and which topics they want help with. We use this only to send you what you signed up for and to run the test programme. Every email contains an unsubscribe link. Legal basis: consent, GDPR art. 6(1)(a). Sugar Detective photos. The photo you upload is analysed once and then discarded. We do not save it, we do not use it for training, and it is not linked to you. Legal basis: performance of the service you requested, art. 6(1)(b). Your child's age range. We ask only for a range, such as 3-5 or 6-11. We never ask for a name or a date of birth on the website. In Sugar Detective the range is sent with the photo so that the result can be compared against the correct daily limit. We keep an anonymous record of each analysis, with the age used and the result but never the photo, to check the quality of the analyses. Nothing in it identifies you. If you sign up for early access, the range is stored with your email address and deleted together with it. Contact messages. If you write to us through the contact form, we store your message, your email address, and your name if you give one, so that we can reply. We use it only to answer you. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries, art. 6(1)(f). Connection data. Every time a page loads, our host receives your IP address, the type of browser and device you use, the page you opened, the site you came from, and the campaign link if there was one. This is what any web server receives in order to send you a page. We use it to keep the site secure and to see how much traffic the site gets. We do not use it to identify you, and we do not link it to your email address. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in running a secure website, art. 6(1)(f).
Usage statistics
The website uses Google Analytics to measure which pages are used. This service receives general categories rather than details. It does not receive names, dates of birth, photos, or the contents of a meal. There are two cases. On ordinary pages nothing is measured until you accept analytics cookies. Legal basis: consent, art. 6(1)(a). On campaign landing pages, which include the Romanian version of the Sugar Detective page, we do not put a cookie window in front of you, and there we count visits without cookies: nothing is stored on your device, and you are not recognised from one visit to the next. Google Analytics receives the page, the campaign link, the steps you take on the page (such as starting a form or seeing a result, never what you type or upload) and the connection data, and it does not store your IP address. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in knowing whether a campaign works, art. 6(1)(f). If you have already refused analytics, we do not count you there either, and you can refuse at any time through the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer.
Who processes data for us
Google. Google Cloud stores the messages you send through the contact form, and the anonymous Sugar Detective records, within the European Union. Google Analytics is also a Google service; statistical data from it may be processed outside the EU, under the European Commission's standard contractual clauses and its adequacy decision for the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Analysis providers. The photos you submit to Sugar Detective are analysed by automated services. The analysis takes place in the European Union. MailerLite. An email platform based in the EU. It stores the addresses of people who signed up through the website. Netlify. Hosts the website. All of them process data only on our instructions. If you want to know exactly which providers we use, write to us and we will tell you.
How long we keep things
Sugar Detective photos are not stored at all. Email addresses are kept until you unsubscribe, or until two years have passed with no activity from you. Programme signup details are deleted together with the signup. Contact messages are kept while we deal with your question and for up to a year afterwards, then deleted.
Children
Forkpie is intended for parents. Children are not users of the website, and we do not knowingly collect data directly from a child. On the website we only ever ask for an age range, never a name or a date of birth. When using Sugar Detective, please avoid uploading photos that show people. A picture of the food or its packaging is all Kipi needs.
Cookies
Your cookie choice is stored, so that you are not asked again. Google Analytics cookies are set only if you enable analytics, and you can disable them at any time through the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer. Counting without cookies is a separate thing. On campaign landing pages we count visits without storing anything on your device, as described under "Usage statistics". The same "Cookie preferences" link switches that counting off as well. We do not use marketing or advertising cookies. If that changes, they will be disabled by default and used only with your explicit consent.
Your rights
You can ask us to give you a copy of your data, to correct it, delete it or export it, to restrict how it is processed, or to object to the processing. You can withdraw consent at any time. Write to hello@forkpie.com and we will reply within 30 days. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can complain to the Romanian supervisory authority, ANSPDCP (dataprotection.ro), or to the data protection authority in your own country.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top. If a change materially affects people whose email addresses we hold, we will tell them by email.
