Privacy

The Field Guide uses no cookies and no accounts, and it doesn't follow you across other sites. We count visits anonymously, and we store nothing about you, unless you sign up for the monthly letter. Both are described below.

Who is responsible

The Field Guide is run by Moss & Marrow, a trade name of Uplift Digital, Amsterdam, registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under KvK number 76513939. For anything about your data, email lucinda@mossandmarrow.health.

Searching by postcode or location

Postcode or town: What you type in "Where" is sent to PDOK, the Dutch government's address service run by the Kadaster, to find its location on the map. We don't store it. PDOK privacy statement.
Use my location: Your browser asks your permission first. Your location is only used in your browser, to sort producers by distance. It isn't sent to us.

Outside services the map uses

Fonts and the map software are served from this site itself. To show the page and the map, your browser also connects to these services, which receive your IP address and technical details such as your browser type:

Cloudflare: Hosts the site. Keeps short-term server logs for security. Privacy policy.
OpenFreeMap: Supplies the map tiles. Privacy policy.

Links to other sites

Route opens Google Maps, Share can open WhatsApp or your email, and listings link to producers' own websites. Once you follow a link, that site's own privacy policy applies.

Counting visits

To see which pages are read and how people find the guide, we use Cloudflare Web Analytics. It counts page views, the page you came from, your country and the kind of device, without cookies, without storing your IP address and without recognising you on a later visit or on other sites. We see only totals. Cloudflare's privacy policy.

The contact form

If you send a message through the contact page, we receive your name (if you give it), your email address, what it is about and your message, as an email in our inbox. We use it only to reply. The form uses the same Cloudflare Turnstile check against bots, and Brevo delivers the message to us. Ask us any time and we delete your message.

The monthly letter

If you sign up for the monthly "in season" letter, we ask for your email address and, if you like, your first name (so the email can say hello) and your province (for the "near you" part). That is all we collect.

What we send: A welcome email with this month's issue when you sign up, then one email a month, on the first weekday, with what is in season, where to buy it from producers we have checked, and what to do with it. Nothing else, and never from anyone else.
Double opt-in: Nothing is stored until you click the confirmation link in the first email. If you don't, your address is dropped.
Who processes it: Brevo (Sendinblue SAS, Paris) sends the letter for us and stores the list on servers in the EU. Brevo records whether a letter was opened and which links were clicked, so we can see what readers find useful. We only look at these numbers to improve the letter, and they are deleted with your address when you unsubscribe.
Against bots: The form uses Cloudflare Turnstile, a check that tells people from bots without cookies or tracking across sites. When you submit the form, a hashed version of your IP address is also kept for one hour to stop mass sign-ups. It is not linked to your email address and is gone after the hour.
Leaving: Every letter has an unsubscribe link. Using it deletes your address and your choices from the list; so does emailing us.
Legal basis: Your consent (GDPR article 6(1)(a)), given when you confirm the sign-up, and withdrawn when you unsubscribe.

If you contact us

If you email us, for example to report a change to a listing, we use your email address and message only to reply and to update the guide. We delete them when they're no longer needed, and at the latest after two years.

Information about producers

Listings contain business information that producers publish themselves: name, address, opening hours, website and what they sell. Where a producer is a sole trader, some of this is personal data. We publish it because a public guide to where food can be bought is in the public interest and in the producers' interest (legitimate interest, GDPR article 6(1)(f)). A producer can ask us at any time to correct their listing or remove it, and we will.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete personal data we hold about you, or object to its use, by emailing us. If you're not happy with our answer, you can complain to the Dutch data protection authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.

Changes

If we add anything else that collects data, we'll update this page first and change the date above. The monthly letter was added on 11 October 2026, anonymous visit counts on 12 October 2026.
