Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Get Recipes (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects information about you when you visit this website (the “Site”). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please stop using the Site.

Information we collect

We collect the following categories of information:

• Information you provide. When you subscribe to our newsletter, submit a recipe review, or contact us, we collect the details you give us — such as your email address, name or display name, and the content of your message or review.
• Usage & device data. We automatically collect technical data such as your IP address, approximate location, device and browser type, operating system, referring pages, and how you interact with the Site (pages viewed, links clicked, time on page).
• Cookies & similar technologies. We and our partners use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to run the Site, remember your preferences (including your saved favorites, stored locally in your browser), measure traffic, and serve advertising. See our Cookie Policy for details.

How we use your information

• To operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its content.
• To send you our newsletter and respond to your messages or requests (only where you have asked us to).
• To display and moderate recipe reviews you submit.
• To measure and analyze traffic and usage so we can improve our recipes and features.
• To display advertising that helps keep our recipes free, and to measure its performance.
• To detect, prevent, and address spam, abuse, security issues, and technical problems, and to comply with our legal obligations.

Advertising & Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense and other third-party advertising vendors to display ads on the Site. These vendors, including Google, may use cookies and device identifiers to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

• Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites on the internet.
• Third-party vendors and ad networks may also use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits.
• You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. You can also opt out of a third party's use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices (US) or youronlinechoices.eu (EU/UK).

For more information about how Google uses data when you use our Site, see Google's Privacy & Terms.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site. This helps us improve our content and layout. Analytics and advertising cookies load only after you grant consent through our cookie banner (using Google Consent Mode v2); until you consent, no such cookies are set. You can review Google's Privacy Policy for how it handles data.

Consent & legal bases

For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and similar jurisdictions, we rely on the following legal bases: your consent (for analytics and advertising cookies and for our newsletter), our legitimate interests (to operate and secure the Site), and compliance with legal obligations. You may withdraw consent at any time (see “Your rights” below).

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with:

• Service providers who help us run the Site — such as our hosting and database provider, analytics provider (Google), and advertising partners (Google AdSense) — who process data on our behalf.
• Legal and safety recipients where required by law, to enforce our terms, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our users or the public.

Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described here — for example, we keep your newsletter subscription until you unsubscribe, and we keep approved reviews as part of the Site's content. Technical logs and analytics data are retained for a limited period and then deleted or aggregated.

International transfers

Our providers may process data in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) for these transfers.

Children's privacy

This Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Your rights & choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal data, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent.

• EU/UK (GDPR). You may exercise the rights above and lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
• California (CCPA/CPRA). You may request access to or deletion of your personal information and are entitled not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising these rights. We do not sell or share personal information as defined by the CCPA.
• Cookies. You can withdraw cookie consent at any time by clearing this Site's storage in your browser, which shows the consent banner again, or by adjusting your browser settings.
• Newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email, or by contacting us.

To make a request, contact us at contact page. We may need to verify your identity before acting on your request.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-party links

The Site may link to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites; please review their policies before providing any information.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Significant changes may be highlighted on the Site.
