Privacy Policy

Last Updated: November 12, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how My Homemade Recipe (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards your personal information when you visit or interact with our website https://myhomemaderecipe.com (the “Site”). We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with applicable data‑protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where relevant. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Data We Collect

We collect two categories of information:

• Personal Data: Information that can identify you directly, such as your name, email address, and any other data you voluntarily provide when you sign up for newsletters, comment on a recipe, or contact us.
• Non‑Personal Data: Technical information automatically generated by your browser or device, including IP address, browser type, operating system, device type, pages visited, time spent on each page, and referral URLs.

We only collect the personal data that is necessary to provide the services you request (e.g., delivering a newsletter, responding to a comment, or processing a contact‑form request). All non‑personal data is used solely for analytical and security purposes.

2. How We Use Your Information

The data we collect is used for the following purposes:

• To deliver newsletters, recipe updates, and promotional content you have opted into.
• To respond to inquiries, comments, or support requests submitted via our contact form.
• To personalize your experience on the Site, such as showing you recipes that match your interests.
• To improve the Site’s functionality, design, and content based on usage patterns.
• To protect the Site against fraud, spam, and other security threats.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience and gather analytics. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. They can be:

• Essential Cookies: Required for the Site to function correctly (e.g., session cookies that keep you logged in).
• Performance Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with the Site, allowing us to improve performance and content.
• Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences, such as language or display settings.
• Targeting/Advertising Cookies: Used by third‑party services (e.g., Google Analytics) to deliver relevant ads.

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Disabling certain cookies may affect the Site’s functionality.

4. Analytics (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to collect non‑personal information about how visitors use the Site. Google Analytics places a cookie on your browser that records anonymized data such as page views, session duration, and traffic sources. This information helps us:

• Identify popular recipes and topics.
• Understand visitor demographics and interests (in aggregate form only).
• Optimize site speed and navigation.

Google’s privacy policy governs the use of this data. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt‑Out Browser Add‑on.

5. Email Subscriptions

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will collect your email address and, optionally, your name. We use a third‑party email service provider (e.g., Mailchimp) to manage subscriptions, send newsletters, and track open/click rates. The provider’s privacy policy applies to the handling of your email data.

You may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link included in every email or by contacting us directly at contact@myhomemaderecipe.com. Unsubscribing will remove your email address from our mailing list within a reasonable timeframe.

6. Third‑Party Services

Our Site integrates with several social media platforms to enhance sharing and community interaction. These platforms may collect their own data when you click on their icons or log in through them.

• Pinterest: Allows you to pin recipes to your boards. Pinterest may use cookies and collect data as described in its Privacy Policy.
• Instagram: Enables you to view our Instagram feed and share content. Instagram’s data practices are outlined in its Data Policy.
• Facebook: Provides social sharing buttons and the option to “Like” our page. Facebook may set cookies and collect data in accordance with its Data Policy.

We do not control the data practices of these third parties. We recommend reviewing each platform’s privacy policy before interacting with their services.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

• Encryption of data transmitted via HTTPS.
• Secure storage of email addresses with password‑protected access.
• Regular security audits and software updates.
• Limited access to personal data to staff members who need it to perform their duties.

While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. You acknowledge that you provide your data at your own risk.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction: Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Deletion: Request that we delete your personal data, subject to legal exceptions.
• Restriction: Limit the way we process your data.
• Portability: Receive your data in a structured, commonly used format.
• Objection: Object to processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at contact@myhomemaderecipe.com. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and, where required by law, within 30 days.

9. International Data Transfers

Our hosting provider and third‑party services may store data on servers located outside your country of residence, including in the United States. By using the Site, you consent to the transfer of your information to these jurisdictions, which may have different data‑protection laws. We take appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, to ensure that your data receives an adequate level of protection.
