Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 18, 2026

At Recipes By Mama (https://www.recipesbymama.com/), your privacy matters—like a secret family recipe, we handle it with care. Mama Elena and our team are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and safeguard your data when you visit our site, subscribe to emails, or contact us.

1. Information We Collect

We keep it simple:

  • Personal Data: Email address (if you subscribe or contact us), name (from forms), and IP address (for site analytics).
  • Non-Personal Data: Browser type, pages visited, time spent (via cookies for better user experience).
  • No Sensitive Info: We don’t collect financial details, health data, or anything else unnecessary for enjoying recipes.

2. How We Use Your Information

Your data helps us:

  • Send newsletters with new recipes and tips (only if you opt in).
  • Respond to your messages or recipe submissions.
  • Improve the site (e.g., popular recipes show up first).
  • Analyze trends to share better content—no selling your info to third parties.

3. Cookies and Tracking

We use:

  • Essential Cookies: For site functionality (e.g., remembering your newsletter preference).
  • Analytics Cookies: Google Analytics (anonymized) to see what’s working.
  • Opt out anytime via your browser settings or our cookie banner.

4. Sharing Your Information

We don’t sell or rent your data. We only share with:

  • Trusted service providers (e.g., email platform like Mailchimp, hosting like SiteGround).
  • Legal requirements (e.g., subpoenas—rare as a snow day in July).

5. Your Rights and Choices

  • Access/Update/Delete: Email hello@recipesbymama.com to request your data.
  • Unsubscribe: Click links in emails or contact us.
  • EU/CA Residents: Rights include access, correction, deletion, and objection (contact us for details).
  • Children’s Privacy: Site for general audiences; no kids under 13 please.

6. Data Security

We use HTTPS, secure servers, and best practices to protect your info—but no system is 100% foolproof. Let us know if you spot issues.

Our site links to social media or affiliates (e.g., ingredient shops). Their privacy policies apply once you click away.

8. Changes to This Policy

We’ll update this page for big changes and notify via email or site notice. Check back occasionally.
