privacy policy

🌱 our commitment to privacy

At TasteBite, we believe that great recipes and privacy go hand in hand. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our website. By using TasteBite, you agree to the practices described here.

We respect your privacy and are committed to being transparent about what data we collect and why. If you have any questions, you can always reach out to us.

📊 what we collect & why

We collect only the information necessary to improve your experience and understand how our recipes are enjoyed. Here's a breakdown:

🍪 cookie policy

TasteBite uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. These tiny files help us remember your preferences, understand which recipes are most popular, and improve site performance.

We use:

• Essential cookies: necessary for basic site functions (like logging in or saving preferences).
• Analytics cookies: to track page visits and user behavior anonymously (via services like Google Analytics).
• Functional cookies: to remember your settings (like recipe card views).

You can disable cookies through your browser settings, but some features may not work as intended.

📧 email & newsletter

When you subscribe to our newsletter, we use your email only to send you updates, fresh recipes, and occasional kitchen notes. We use a reputable email service (Mailchimp) that stores your data securely. You can unsubscribe with one click at any time. We never share your email with third parties for marketing purposes.

🔒 data security & retention

We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. Data (like comments and email addresses) is retained as long as necessary to provide the service or comply with legal obligations. If you'd like us to delete your data, please contact us.

🤝 third-party services

TasteBite uses a few trusted third-party services to operate smoothly:

• Google Analytics: anonymous traffic analysis (see their privacy policy).
• Mailchimp: newsletter delivery.
• Font Awesome & Unsplash: for icons and demo imagery (they do not track you on our site).
• Affiliate networks: if you click an affiliate link, the network may collect basic click data (but no personal info is shared by us).

These services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them. We only work with providers who respect user privacy.

👤 your rights

Depending on your location (especially if you're in the EU/UK or California), you have rights regarding your personal data:

• The right to access the data we hold about you.
• The right to rectification — correct inaccurate data.
• The right to erasure ("right to be forgotten").
• The right to restrict or object to processing.
• The right to data portability.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at privacy@TasteBite.com. We'll respond within 30 days.
