By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

Who We Are

  • Newsletter subscription: email address when you subscribe to receive recipe updates and blog posts.
  • Other communications: any information you send us through social channels or other correspondence.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the Site, we and our service providers may automatically collect:

  • IP address and general location (city/region/country level)
  • Browser type, device type, operating system, and language settings
  • Pages viewed, links clicked, referring/exit URLs, and dates/times of visits
  • Cookie identifiers and similar tracking technologies (see Cookies below)

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information through the Site.

How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its content
  • Publish and moderate comments
  • Respond to contact form messages and other inquiries
  • Send newsletter emails to subscribers who opt in
  • Measure Site traffic and understand how readers use our recipes and pages
  • Detect, prevent, and address spam, abuse, and technical issues
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our policies

We do not sell your personal information.

Legal Bases for Processing (EEA/UK Visitors)

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process personal data under these legal bases:

  • Site operation, security, and spam prevention: legitimate interests
  • Responding to your messages: legitimate interests or contract (depending on the request)
  • Newsletter emails: consent
  • Analytics (where consent is required): consent
  • Legal compliance: legal obligation

You may withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, keep the Site secure, and understand how visitors use our content.

Types of cookies we use

  • Essential / functional cookies: required for basic Site features (for example, comment form convenience, login sessions for administrators, and security).
  • Analytics cookies: help us understand Site usage through Google Analytics 4, configured via Google Site Kit.
  • Third-party cookies: may be set by embedded content or sharing tools (for example, social share buttons).

Cookie consent

For visitors in certain regions (including the EU/EEA and UK), we use Google Site Kit consent mode to limit analytics and advertising cookies until consent is granted, where applicable.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect some Site features.

Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party services that may process data on our behalf or when you interact with Site features:

These providers may process data in the United States or other countries. Their use of your information is governed by their own policies.

Comments

When you leave a comment, we collect the data shown in the comment form (name, email, website) plus your IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

An anonymized hash of your email address may be sent to Gravatar to check whether you have a Gravatar profile. If approved, your Gravatar profile picture may appear publicly next to your comment.

Comments and associated metadata may be retained so we can recognize follow-up comments and maintain moderation records.

Media

If you upload images to the Site (for example, in comments), avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS) in image files. Visitors may be able to download and extract embedded data from images displayed on the Site.

Embedded Content

Articles on the Site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or social posts from other websites). Embedded content behaves as if you visited the third-party site directly.

Those sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you are logged in to that service.

Email Newsletter

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect and store your email address to send you blog updates and related content. You may unsubscribe at any time using the link in any newsletter email or by contacting us.

We do not share your email address with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Affiliate and External Links

Our posts may contain links to third-party websites, including retailers or partners. Some links may be affiliate links, meaning we may earn a small commission if you make a purchase, at no extra cost to you.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of linked websites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.

How Long We Retain Data

  • Comments: retained indefinitely unless you request deletion (subject to legal and security exceptions).
  • Contact form submissions: retained as long as needed to respond and for reasonable business records.
  • Newsletter subscribers: retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
  • Analytics data: retained according to Google Analytics settings and applicable law.
  • Registered user accounts (if any): profile information is stored until deleted by the user or administrator.

How We Share Information

We may share information:

  • With service providers listed above, solely to operate the Site
  • When required by law, regulation, legal process, or government request
  • To protect the rights, safety, and security of Petite Paprika, our users, or others
  • In connection with a business transfer (for example, merger or sale), with notice where required

We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as defined under applicable U.S. state privacy laws.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Object to or restrict certain processing
  • Receive a portable copy of your data

California residents

If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by CPRA, including the right to know, delete, and correct personal information, and to opt out of sale/sharing. We do not sell personal information.

We do not knowingly sell personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.

Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

International Data Transfers

Petite Paprika is based in the United States. If you access the Site from outside the U.S., your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the U.S. or other countries where our service providers operate.

Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for international transfers.
