Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains what information Tasty Quicky Recipes ("we," "our," or "us") collects when you visit tastyquickyrecipes.com (the "Site"), why we collect it, how long we keep it, and what choices you have. We have tried to describe only what the Site actually does. If something here is unclear, you can ask us through the Contact Us page.

By using the Site, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the Site or the forms on it.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Give Us

• Contact form: If you write to us through the contact form, we receive your name, email address and the message you type. We use these only to reply to you.
• Ratings and comments: If you rate a recipe or leave a comment, we receive your name and the text you submit. Comments may be shown publicly on the recipe page, so please do not include anything you would not want others to read, such as your email address, phone number or home address.

The Site does not require you to create an account to read recipes.

Information Collected Automatically

• Server logs: Like most websites, our web server records standard log data, including your IP address, browser type and the pages requested. We use these logs for security and troubleshooting.
• First-party visit statistics: We measure visits on our own server. This records which page was viewed and the referrer (the page or site that sent you to us). Raw visit records are kept for 7 days, after which only daily totals remain.
• Cookies and similar technologies: See the next section.

2. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. On this Site they come from the following sources:

• Google AdSense: Google and its partners use cookies to serve and measure ads on the Site. Personalized ads are shown only with your consent (see section 4).
• Cloudflare: We use Cloudflare for content delivery and security. Cloudflare may set technical cookies that help protect the Site and deliver pages reliably.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the Site work, and blocking ad cookies does not remove ads from the Site; it only affects how they are selected.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To reply to messages sent through the contact form
• To display ratings and comments you submit
• To keep the Site secure, detect abuse and fix technical problems
• To understand, in aggregate, which pages are visited so we can improve the Site
• To show advertising that helps fund the Site
• To comply with legal obligations

4. Advertising and Consent

The Site displays ads from Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites. For visitors in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom and Switzerland, a Google consent message appears when you visit.

Personalized ads are shown only if you give consent, and you can change your choice at any time through the consent message settings or by clearing your browser cookies so the message appears again.

Whatever your location, you can manage ad personalization here:

• Google Ads Settings: adssettings.google.com
• How Google uses information from sites that use its services: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

5. Service Providers and Third Parties

We do not sell your personal information. The parties that process data in connection with the Site are:

• Google (AdSense): advertising, as described above.
• Cloudflare: content delivery and security. Requests to the Site pass through its network.
• Pinterest: the Site links to our social profile on Pinterest. If you follow that link, Pinterest's own privacy policy applies to what happens on its platform.

We may also disclose information when the law requires it, or when needed to protect the Site, our rights or other people from abuse or harm.

6. Your Privacy Rights

Visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland (GDPR)

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Have inaccurate data corrected
• Request deletion of your data
• Restrict or object to certain processing
• Receive your data in a portable format
• Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting processing that took place before withdrawal
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

Where we rely on legal bases, they are: your consent (personalized advertising, and messages you choose to send us), our legitimate interests (security, troubleshooting and basic visit statistics), and legal obligations where they apply.

California Residents (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to:

• Know what personal information we collect, use and disclose
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Request correction of inaccurate personal information
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising
• Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights

We do not sell personal information in exchange for money. Because ads on the Site may use cookies for interest-based advertising, you can opt out of personalized ads using the Google links in section 4 and through your browser's cookie controls.

How to Make a Request

To exercise any of these rights, send us a message through the Contact Us page, tell us which right you want to use, and include the name you used when contacting us or commenting so we can find the relevant data. We may need to confirm that the request comes from you before acting on it.

7. Data Retention

• First-party visit statistics: raw visit records are kept for 7 days, after which only daily totals remain.
• Contact form messages: kept for as long as needed to answer you and handle any follow-up, then deleted.
• Ratings and comments: kept with the recipe page they belong to until you ask us to remove them or we remove them ourselves.
• Server logs: kept for a limited period for security and troubleshooting.

Data held by Google and Cloudflare is retained under their own policies.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold, and traffic to the Site is delivered through Cloudflare's security services. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please avoid putting sensitive personal details in comments or messages.

9. Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please tell us through the Contact Us page and we will delete it.

10. International Visitors

The Site can be reached from anywhere, and the service providers named above may process data in countries other than your own. By using the Site you understand that your information may be handled outside your country of residence, subject to the safeguards those providers maintain.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy when the Site or the services it uses change. When we do, we will post the new version on this page and change the "Last updated" date at the top. Please check back from time to time. Our Terms of use and About Us pages are also available for more information about the Site.

12. Contact Us

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or want to use any of your rights, please reach us through the Contact Us page. The contact form asks for your name, email address and a message, and we use that information only to reply.
