1. Introduction

Hey there. We're Eat With Me, and we want to be upfront about how we handle your information. Privacy matters—we get that. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and what we do (and don't do) with it.

We're not a big tech company with complex data operations. We're a small team running a recipe site, and we try to keep things simple. But we still take your privacy seriously, and we want you to understand what's happening behind the scenes.

2. What We Collect

2.1 Information You Give Us

If you contact us, leave a comment, or sign up for something, we'll have whatever information you choose to share. That might include:

• Your name and email (if you contact us or sign up)
• Comments or feedback you post
• Any other information you decide to share with us

We don't require accounts to browse recipes, so if you're just looking around, we probably don't have much (if any) personal info from you.

2.2 Information We Get Automatically

Like most websites, we automatically collect some basic technical information when you visit. This helps us understand how people use the site and fix problems. It includes things like:

• Your IP address (which can show your general location, but not your exact address)
• What browser and device you're using
• Which pages you look at and how long you spend on them
• How you found us (like if you clicked a link from another site)

This is pretty standard stuff. We use it to make the site work better, not to track you personally.

3. How We Use Your Information

Here's what we actually do with the information we collect:

• Make the site work: We use technical info to keep things running smoothly and fix bugs when they pop up
• Respond to you: If you contact us, we use your info to get back to you. Pretty straightforward
• Improve things: We look at how people use the site to figure out what's working and what isn't, so we can make it better
• Prevent problems: We watch for spam, abuse, or anything that could harm the site or other users
• Legal stuff: Sometimes we have to comply with laws or respond to legal requests. We'll only share what's necessary

We don't sell your information. We don't share it with marketers. We're not building a profile of you to sell to advertisers. We're just trying to run a recipe site that works well.

4. Who We Share Information With

Short answer: not many people, and never for money.

We might share information with:

• Service providers: Companies that help us run the site (like hosting providers). They're bound by contracts to keep your info secure and only use it for what we need
• Legal authorities: If we're required by law to share something, we will. But we'll only share what's legally required, nothing more

We don't share your information with advertisers, data brokers, or anyone else who wants to sell you something. That's not what we're about.

5. Keeping Your Information Safe

We do our best to protect your information. We use standard security practices—encryption where it matters, secure connections, and regular updates to keep things patched. But let's be honest: no website is 100% secure, and we're not pretending otherwise.

We take reasonable precautions, but if you're sharing something super sensitive, maybe think twice. For most people browsing recipes, the risk is pretty low, but we want to be transparent about it.

6. Your Rights

You have rights when it comes to your information. Depending on where you live, these might include:

• See what we have: You can ask us what information we have about you
• Fix mistakes: If something's wrong, tell us and we'll correct it
• Delete it: Want us to remove your information? Just ask. We'll do it unless we have a legal reason to keep it
• Opt out: Don't want us processing your info in certain ways? Let us know
• Take it with you: Want a copy of your data? We can provide it in a format you can use

To exercise any of these rights, just email us at [email protected]. We'll respond within a reasonable time (usually within a month, often faster).

7. Cookies and Tracking

Yes, we use cookies. Most websites do. They help the site remember your preferences, keep you logged in if you have an account, and understand how people use the site.

We're not using them to build a detailed profile of you or track you across the internet. We use them for basic functionality and to see what's working on the site.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings if you want, but some features might not work as well. That's your choice, and we respect it.

8. Links to Other Sites

Sometimes we link to other websites—maybe a cooking tool we recommend, or an ingredient source. We're not responsible for how those sites handle your information. If you click through, check their privacy policies. We can only control what happens on our site.

9. Kids and Privacy

Our site isn't designed for kids under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them. If you're a parent and think your child has given us information, let us know and we'll delete it right away.

10. Changes to This Policy

We might update this policy from time to time—maybe because laws change, or we add new features, or we realize we need to clarify something. When we do, we'll update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

If we make significant changes that affect your rights, we'll try to let you know (maybe through a notice on the site or an email if we have your address). But checking back here every so often isn't a bad idea.

11. Questions?

If you have questions about this policy, or about how we handle your information, or if you want to exercise any of your rights, just email us:

Email: [email protected]

We'll do our best to help. We're not trying to hide anything or make this complicated—we just want to be clear about what we do and why.
