Who we are
At The Recipe Master, your privacy is of utmost importance to us. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of personal information we collect, how we use it, and the steps we take to safeguard your data. By using our website, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.

- Personal Information: When you subscribe to our newsletter, comment on posts, or contact us, we may collect personal details such as your name, email address, and any other information you choose to provide.
- Non-Personal Information: We may also collect non-personal information through the use of cookies and similar technologies. This includes your IP address, browser type, device information, and browsing patterns on our site.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for various purposes, including:
- To personalize your experience and provide content that is relevant to your interests.

Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. In case you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Third-Party Services
We may use third-party services, such as Google Analytics, to help us understand how our website is used. These services may collect information sent by your browser as part of a web page request, including cookies and your IP address. These third-party services are governed by their own privacy policies.
Sharing Your Information
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to outside parties without your consent, except as necessary to comply with legal obligations or to protect our rights.
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new policy on our website and updating the date at the top of this page.
