Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 19, 2025 · 1potrecipes.com
Look, we get it — nobody loves reading privacy policies. So we’ve written this one in plain English. Here’s what we collect, why, and what you can do about it.
Who We Are
We are 1PotRecipes (“we,” “us,” “our”), operating the website at 1potrecipes.com. Our primary contact is 1potrecipe@gmail.com.
Information We Collect
Information you give us directly
- Email address — when you subscribe to our newsletter or contact us
- Name — if you choose to include it in a comment or email
- Message content — when you email us about a recipe or a technical issue
Information collected automatically
- IP address and browser type — collected by our hosting provider and analytics tools
- Pages visited, time on site, referring URL — to understand which recipes are most helpful
- Device type — so we can ensure the site works on your phone and computer
- Cookies — see the Cookies section below
How We Use Your Information
- To send you our newsletter (only if you subscribed — we don’t add people without permission)
- To respond to your emails and recipe questions
- To improve our recipes and content based on what’s working
- To ensure the website functions properly across devices
- To comply with legal obligations
We do not sell your personal data. Ever. To anyone.
Cookies & Tracking
We use cookies for three purposes:
- Essential cookies — keep the site working (e.g., remembering your preferences)
- Analytics cookies — typically via Google Analytics, to count visits and understand which recipes you’re finding most useful
- Advertising cookies — if we run ads (e.g., Google AdSense), those platforms may set cookies to show relevant ads
You can manage or disable cookies in your browser settings at any time.
Third-Party Services
- Google Analytics — website traffic analysis
- Mailchimp / ConvertKit — email newsletter delivery
- Google AdSense — advertising (if applicable)
- Amazon Associates — affiliate links (if applicable)
- Cloudflare / Hosting Provider — website delivery and security
Your Rights
- Access — request a copy of the data we hold about you
- Correction — ask us to fix inaccurate information
- Deletion — ask us to delete your data (“right to be forgotten”)
- Opt-out — unsubscribe from emails at any time via the link in any newsletter
- Portability — request your data in a portable format (EU/UK residents)
- CCPA rights — California residents may request disclosure of data collected and opt out of its sale (we don’t sell data, but you still have this right)
To exercise any of these rights, email us at 1potrecipe@gmail.com. We respond within 30 days.
Data Retention
We keep your email address on our newsletter list until you unsubscribe. We keep records of your correspondence with us for up to 2 years for customer service purposes. Analytics data is retained per Google Analytics’ default settings (26 months).
Children’s Privacy
Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal data to us, please contact us immediately at 1potrecipe@gmail.com and we will delete it promptly.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data. Our site uses SSL encryption (HTTPS). However, no internet transmission is 100% secure — we do our best, but can’t guarantee absolute security.
Changes to This Policy
If we make significant changes, we’ll update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. For major changes, we’ll notify newsletter subscribers directly.
