Who We Are
VegeRecipes (vegerecipes.com) is a vegetarian and vegan recipe website. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect from visitors to our site, how we use it, and the choices you have. If you have questions about this policy, you can reach us at recipes@vegerecipes.com or through our Contact page.
Information We Collect
Contact Form
When you use the contact form on our Contact page, we collect your name, email address, and the message you send us. We use this information only to respond to your inquiry, and we do not add you to any mailing list simply because you contacted us.
Newsletter Subscriptions
If you choose to subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address (and name, if you provide one) through MailPoet, the email service we use to send recipe updates and site notifications. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link included in every email we send, or by contacting us directly.
Cookies
Our site uses cookies for basic functionality, such as remembering your cookie consent choices and helping our caching system load pages faster. When you first visit the site, a cookie consent banner lets you choose which categories of cookies you’re comfortable with. You can change your preferences at any time through that banner or by clearing your browser’s cookies.
Affiliate Links
Some links on our site are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a small commission if you make a purchase through them, at no extra cost to you. When you click an affiliate link, you’ll be taken to a third-party retailer’s website, which has its own privacy policy and may set its own cookies or collect information according to its own practices. We don’t control, and aren’t responsible for, how those third parties handle your information.
Comments
If commenting is enabled on our site, comments and their metadata (including your IP address and browser information) are retained to help with spam detection. If you leave a comment, an anonymized version of your email address may be checked against the Gravatar service to see if you’re using it; Gravatar’s own privacy policy applies to that check.
Server and Security Logs
Like most websites, our hosting environment automatically logs standard technical information (such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited) for security and troubleshooting purposes. We also use security tools to help protect the site against unauthorized login attempts.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to respond to messages you send us, deliver the newsletter content you’ve subscribed to, maintain and secure our website, and understand, in a general way, how the site is used so we can improve it.
We do not sell your personal information, and we don’t share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
How Long We Keep Your Information
We keep contact form submissions and newsletter subscriber records for as long as needed to respond to you or for as long as you remain subscribed, unless you ask us to delete them sooner.
Your Choices and Rights
You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time. You can ask us what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, by emailing recipes@vegerecipes.com. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the GDPR (EU/UK) or the CCPA (California); we’ll do our best to honor reasonable requests regardless of location.
Children’s Privacy
Our site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Links to Other Websites
Our site may link to recipes, sources, or partner sites we don’t control. This policy only covers vegerecipes.com; we encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external site you visit.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time as our site or the plugins and services we use change. The effective date at the top will reflect the most recent revision.
