Effective Date: April 14, 2025

Hey friend! Thanks for stopping by mealswithgrandma.com (“we”, “our”, “us”). Your privacy is super important to us, and we want you to feel safe and cozy while browsing our little kitchen corner on the web. This Privacy Policy explains what info we collect, how we use it, and how we keep it safe.

👉 At mealswithgrandma.com, transparency, honesty, and trust are baked into everything we do. This privacy policy is written in plain language so you feel safe and informed—just like you’re chatting with a friend over tea and cookies.

By using our website, you agree to the terms in this Privacy Policy.

🍪 Who We Are

Our website address is: https://mealswithgrandma.com

📌 What Personal Data We Collect & Why

Comments

When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comment form, plus the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to help fight spam.

We may also check your email against the Gravatar service to show your profile picture (if you’re using it). Their privacy policy is here: https://automattic.com/privacy

Once your comment is approved, your name and picture may appear next to your message.

Media

If you upload images to the site, try not to include location data (like EXIF GPS). Visitors might be able to download and extract that info.

Contact Forms

When you fill out our contact form, we collect your name, email, and message—just so we can reply with love. We don’t share this info with anyone.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies. This is just to make things easier for you next time. These cookies last for one year.

When you log in (if applicable), we set up cookies to save your login and screen preferences. Login cookies last two days, or two weeks if you check “Remember Me.”

🌐 Embedded Content

Sometimes we share things like YouTube videos or Instagram posts. These behave like you visited those websites directly. They might collect your data or use cookies too—so check their privacy settings if you’re curious.

📈 Analytics

We may use tools like Google Analytics to understand how people use the site. This helps us improve your experience. These tools may collect anonymized data like your location, time spent, and pages visited.

🤝 Who We Share Your Data With

We don’t sell or trade your data. Ever.
We may use spam protection tools (like Akismet) that check submitted data to reduce spam.

⏳ How Long We Keep Your Data

  • Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely.
  • If you register (if registration is enabled), your info stays in your profile and you can edit or delete it anytime.

Admins can also view and edit that info.

🙋 What Rights You Have Over Your Data

You can request:

  • An exported file of the personal data we hold about you
  • That we delete any data we hold about you

(Excluding data we need for legal, security, or admin reasons.)

🌍 Where Your Data Goes

Visitor comments may be checked by an automatic spam detection system.

🔐 How We Protect Your Data

We use basic security tools and WordPress best practices to keep your data safe.
Still, no website is 100% secure—so be careful online, just like you’d be with a hot oven!

🧑‍🍳 Health Disclaime

We’re not doctors or dietitians—just a girl sharing her grandma’s kitchen tips. Recipes on this site are based on personal experience and joy. Always consult a pro for health advice.

🚸 Children’s Privacy

We don’t knowingly collect info from kids under 13. If you think we did, please contact us and we’ll remove it right away.

🔄 Changes to This Policy

We might update this policy from time to time. If we do, we’ll change the date at the top. Check back if you’re curious!
