1. Who We Are

Recookify ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website recookify.online, a Kentucky-based food and recipe publication serving home cooks. Our registered address is 1163 Broaddus Avenue, Madisonville, Kentucky 42431. You can contact us at contact@recookify.online or by phone at 270-217-8023.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum information needed to operate our site and communicate with you.

Information you give us directly:

• Newsletter sign-ups: your email address when you subscribe to our weekly recipe newsletter.
• Contact form submissions: your name, email address, and any message you send us through our contact page.

Information collected automatically:

• Log data: standard web server logs including your IP address, browser type, referring URL, pages visited, and time of visit. This data is used solely for security monitoring and site performance analysis.
• Cookies: small files stored in your browser that help the site function correctly (e.g. remembering your session). We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.
• Analytics: if we use an analytics service, it collects anonymised data about page visits and traffic sources. No personally identifiable information is shared with analytics providers.

Information we do NOT collect:

• Payment or financial information (we do not sell products directly)
• Social media account data
• Location data beyond what is included in your IP address
• Sensitive personal data (race, religion, health, biometric data)

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect only for the purposes it was given:

• Email address (newsletter): to send you our weekly seasonal recipe newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of every email.
• Contact form data: to respond to your inquiry. We do not add you to our mailing list without your explicit consent.
• Log data: to monitor site security, diagnose technical issues, and understand general traffic patterns.

We never use your data for automated decision-making or profiling.

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, trade, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes. We may share data only in these limited circumstances:

• Service providers: companies that help us operate the site (e.g. web hosting, email delivery). These providers are contractually bound to handle your data only as instructed by us and to keep it secure.
• Legal requirements: if we are required by law, court order, or government authority to disclose information, we will do so and, where legally permitted, notify you.
• Business transfer: if Recookify is acquired or merged with another entity, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you before that happens.

5. Cookies and Tracking

Our site uses essential cookies to function correctly. These include session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and preference cookies. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking technologies.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some site features but will not prevent you from reading our recipes.

6. Third-Party Links and Content

Our site may contain links to external websites such as ingredient suppliers, cooking equipment retailers, or other food publications. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before submitting any personal information.

Some recipe images are served from third-party content delivery networks (CDNs). When your browser loads those images, the CDN may collect standard log data including your IP address. We have no control over or access to that data.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary:

• Newsletter subscribers: until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
• Contact form submissions: up to 24 months, after which they are deleted unless an ongoing correspondence requires longer retention.
• Server logs: up to 90 days, then automatically purged.

8. Your Rights

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

• Access: request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction: request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Deletion: request that we delete your personal data ("right to be forgotten").
• Restriction: request that we restrict how we process your data.
• Portability: request your data in a portable, machine-readable format.
• Objection: object to our processing of your data for direct marketing.
• Withdraw consent: if processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting prior lawful processing.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@recookify.online. We will respond within 30 days. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.

9. Children's Privacy

Recookify is a general-audience food website not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child, please contact us immediately and we will delete it promptly.

10. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These include encrypted data transmission (HTTPS), access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. California Privacy Rights (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we collect and share, the right to delete your personal information, and the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information. We do not sell personal information. To exercise your CCPA rights, contact us at contact@recookify.online.
