This is a general website privacy notice, not legal advice. It describes the website’s current features. Please see the separate contact enquiry privacy notice for details about information submitted through our enquiry form.
Who to contact
For questions or requests about personal information, contact Global Food Ventures at or write to 21 Courtenay Road, Woking, GU21 5HG, United Kingdom.
Information the website handles
If you submit an enquiry, we collect the information you enter, which can include your name, email address, company or brand, phone number, preferred market and message. The enquiry is stored in GFV’s enquiry system and can be viewed by authorised administrators.
The website also uses Replit-provided analytics when analytics is enabled for the published site. Automatic pageview measurement and custom interaction events may involve technical information such as network and browser data. Custom events on this site are designed not to include form contents, contact details or free-text searches.
Links to email, WhatsApp, maps and other websites open services operated by third parties. If you choose to use them, those providers handle information under their own terms and privacy notices. A WhatsApp conversation is separate from this website’s enquiry form.
Enquiries from our Facebook and Instagram ads
If you respond to one of our ads on Facebook or Instagram, for example by messaging us on WhatsApp, we receive the information you choose to share. This can include your name, WhatsApp number and profile name, your messages, details of your food concept, location, budget and timing, and which ad you responded to. We use it to reply, assess whether our services may suit your concept, arrange a consultation and follow up on your enquiry. Enquiries are recorded in an enquiry log kept in Google Sheets, which only authorised GFV staff can access. Retention and your choices are as described in this notice. To stop receiving messages from us, reply STOP or contact .
How information is used
GFV uses enquiry information to review and respond to the request, communicate about relevant GFV services, and maintain the enquiry record. Website analytics help understand visits and interactions. We do not use the website’s custom analytics events to collect the information typed into the enquiry form.
Sharing and retention
Enquiry information is available to authorised GFV administrators. A copy of each contact-form submission is also sent to using Resend; the hosting provider and Resend process information as needed to operate and deliver the service. We do not set a fixed retention period in this notice; records are kept only as needed for the enquiry, business records and applicable requirements, and then reviewed for deletion or other appropriate handling.
Your choices and requests
Depending on the law that applies to you, you may be able to ask for access to, correction of or deletion of your personal information, or to exercise other privacy rights. Contact and describe your request. We may need to verify it before acting.
