Who we are
myeggplantrecipes is an independent editorial website about eggplant recipes from around the world. This policy explains what information we handle when you visit the site, subscribe by email or leave a comment.
For any privacy question you can reach us at hello@myeggplantrecipes.com. You can read more about the site on our About Us page.
Information we collect
Information you give us. This includes an email address if you subscribe, your name or display name if you comment, and anything you choose to write in a comment, correction or recipe submission. We do not ask for payment details, and there is no account system.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our server and analytics tools may record your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, time spent and an approximate location derived from your IP address. We use this in aggregate to understand which recipes are popular and to keep the site working.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive information such as health details, precise location, government identifiers or financial data. Please do not include such details in a public comment.
How we use information
- To publish and maintain the site, and to show you the recipes you asked for.
- To send an email newsletter or recipe update if you subscribed, and to handle unsubscribe requests.
- To reply to your messages, correct errors and moderate comments.
- To measure traffic, understand which topics readers find useful and improve our recipes.
- To detect spam, abuse, scraping and security problems.
- To meet legal obligations where applicable.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for another company's own marketing.
Cookies and analytics
Cookies are small files stored by your browser. We may use essential cookies to remember basic preferences and analytics cookies to count visits and page views. Our analytics provider may set its own cookies and receive the technical data described above under a contract that limits how it may use that data.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Most site content remains readable if you do, though some preferences may not be remembered. Browsers also offer a Do Not Track signal; because there is no common industry standard for that signal, our site does not currently change its behaviour in response to it, but you can still control cookies directly in your browser.
Email subscriptions
We only add you to a mailing list if you ask us to. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can also ask us to remove your address at any time. We keep a minimal record of the subscription so that we can honour an unsubscribe request. Our email provider processes addresses on our behalf and is not permitted to use them for its own purposes.
Advertising and affiliate links
We may introduce display advertising or affiliate links to kitchen tools and ingredients. Advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to measure ads and, in some cases, to show interest based advertising. If that happens we will update this policy before those tools go live and explain the choices available to you, including any opt out mechanism offered by the provider.
Some pages may contain links to third party sites. Their privacy practices are their own, and we encourage you to read their policies before sharing information with them.
How long we keep information
Subscription records are kept until you unsubscribe or ask for deletion. Comments remain on the site while the related page is published, unless you ask us to remove them. Server logs and analytics data are kept only as long as needed for security, troubleshooting and planning, then deleted or aggregated so they no longer identify a visitor.
Your choices and rights
You can ask us what information we hold about you, request a correction, ask for deletion, unsubscribe from email, or object to a particular use. Depending on where you live, laws such as the CCPA in California or the GDPR in Europe may give you additional rights, including access, portability and the right to lodge a complaint with a regulator.
To make a request, email us from the address connected to your subscription or comment so we can verify it. We will respond within a reasonable period and will not charge a fee for a straightforward request. We will never treat you differently for exercising a privacy right.
Children
This site is written for a general adult audience of home cooks and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us information, please contact us and we will remove it promptly.
Data security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information, including encrypted connections and limited access to email and analytics accounts. No online service can promise perfect security, so please use a strong password for your own email account and avoid posting personal details in public comments.
Food safety note
Eggplant should always be eaten fully cooked. For the full explanation, see the food safety warning in our Terms of Use.
Changes to this policy and contact
We may revise this policy as the site adds features such as a newsletter, comments or advertising. The date at the top shows the current version. Significant changes will be highlighted on the homepage for a reasonable period.
