This Privacy Policy explains how ZestyPlate ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit zestyplate.food (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.
Information we collect
- Information you give us. If you use our contact form, we collect the name, email address, and message you submit so we can respond to your enquiry.
- Automatically collected data. Like most websites, our servers automatically log standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device, referring page, and the pages you visit. This helps us keep the Site secure and understand how it is used.
- Cookies and similar technologies. We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember your preferences, measure traffic, and serve advertising (see below).
How we use information
We use the information we collect to operate and improve the Site, respond to your messages, keep the Site secure and prevent abuse, understand how visitors use our content, and display relevant advertising.
Advertising & Google AdSense
We use third-party advertising companies, including Google, to serve ads when you visit the Site.
- Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on the Site.
- Google's use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this Site and/or other sites on the internet.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.eu (EU/UK).
For more information about how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps, see Google's Privacy & Terms.
Analytics
We may use analytics tools to understand aggregate, anonymised usage of the Site (such as which recipes are popular). These tools may set their own cookies and process data in accordance with their own privacy policies.
Your choices & rights
You can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent; some parts of the Site may not function properly if you do. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to object to certain processing. If you are in the EEA or UK, where required we rely on a consent management tool to obtain your consent for personalised advertising before such cookies are used. To exercise any rights, contact us using the details below.
Children's privacy
The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13 (or the applicable age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Data retention & security
We retain contact-form messages only as long as needed to handle your enquiry, and server logs for a limited period for security and diagnostics. We take reasonable measures to protect your information, though no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
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 will be highlighted on the Site where appropriate.
