Privacy Policy

Hi, I’m Emily — welcome to Easy Home Recipes. I want this little corner of the internet to feel safe, so here’s a plain-English explanation of what information is collected when you visit, why, and the choices you have.

This Privacy Policy explains how Easy Home Recipes (“Easy Home Recipes,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), operated by Emily Williams, collects, uses, and protects information when you visit easyhomerecipes.net (the “Website”). By using the Website, you agree to this Policy.

1. Who we are & how to contact us

The data controller for this Website is Easy Home Recipes, Unated States. For any privacy question or request, email [email protected].

2. Information we collect

Information you give us

  • Contact & comments: your name and email when you leave a comment, contact us, or subscribe to our newsletter.
  • Newsletter: your email address if you sign up for recipe updates.

Information collected automatically

  • Usage & device data: IP address, browser type, device, pages viewed, referring site, and time on page, collected through cookies and similar technologies.
  • Cookies: small files stored on your device that help the site work, remember preferences, and measure traffic. You can control cookies in your browser settings.

3. How we use your information & our legal bases

We use information to operate and improve the Website, respond to your messages, send the newsletter you requested, display relevant advertising, keep the site secure, and comply with the law. Under the GDPR, our legal bases are your consent (e.g., newsletter, non-essential cookies), our legitimate interests (e.g., site security and analytics), and legal obligation where applicable. You can withdraw consent at any time.

4. Cookies, analytics & advertising

We use analytics tools Google Analytics to understand how the Website is used, and we display ads through [your ad network — Google AdSense. Our advertising partners may use cookies to show you more relevant ads. You can manage ad personalization through the ad-preferences link in the site footer, your browser settings, or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out tools.

5. Sharing & third parties

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers who help us run the Website (analytics, advertising, email delivery, hosting), when required by law, or as part of a business transfer. These providers may process data under their own privacy policies. The Website may link to other sites we don’t control; their privacy practices are their own.

6. Your rights (GDPR / EEA & UK)

If you are in the European Economic Area or the UK, you have the right to: access your data; correct it; erase it; restrict or object to processing; and request portability. To exercise any right, email [email protected]. You may also complain to your local data-protection authority.

7. Your rights (California / US states — CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident (or live in a US state with similar laws), you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion, to correct it, and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not sell your information for money; however, sharing data with advertising partners via cookies may be considered “sharing” under these laws. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

How to opt out of “sale” or “sharing”:

  • Use the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in our footer; or
  • Turn on your browser’s Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, which we honor where required; or
  • Email [email protected] with the subject “Do Not Sell or Share.”

8. Data retention, security & international transfers

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described here or as required by law, then delete or anonymize it. We use reasonable safeguards to protect your data, though no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. If you access the Website from outside Unated States, your information may be transferred to and processed in countries with different data-protection laws.

9. Children’s privacy

This Website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16 (or under 13 in the United States, consistent with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, “COPPA”). Separately, our Terms of Use require you to be 18 or older to form an agreement with us. These two ages are intentional and serve different purposes — data protection versus contractual capacity. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll revise the “Last Updated” date above. Your continued use of the Website after changes means you accept the updated Policy.
