Privacy Policy – Airfryer Seafood
Effective Date: January 1, 2026
Last Updated: January 1, 2026
Look, we get it – nobody loves reading privacy policies. But we actually care about your data, so we’ve written this in plain English. Here’s exactly what information we collect, why we need it, and how we protect it.
Information We Collect
Information You Give Us Directly:
When you sign up for our newsletter, create an account, or comment on recipes, you share information with us. This includes your name, email address, and any details you choose to include in comments or recipe reviews.
When you contact us through email or our contact form, we collect whatever information you provide – usually your name, email, and your specific question or concern.
Information We Collect Automatically:
Like most websites, we automatically collect certain technical information when you visit. This includes your IP address, browser type, device information, and how you navigate our site. We use this to understand which recipes are most popular, where people get stuck, and how we can improve the user experience.
Cookies and Tracking:
We use cookies (small text files stored on your device) to remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how people use our site. Specifically, we use:
- Essential cookies that make the site work (you can’t disable these without breaking functionality)
- Analytics cookies through Google Analytics to see which content resonates
- Preference cookies to remember if you’ve dismissed pop-ups or selected certain filters
- Advertising cookies if you’ve opted in, to show you relevant content
How We Use Your Information
We use your email address to send you the content you asked for – our newsletter, recipe updates, or responses to your questions. We never sell your email to third parties. Never.
We use analytics data to improve our content. If we see that 5,000 people visit our salmon recipe but 80% leave within 30 seconds, we know something’s wrong and we fix it.
We use comment and review data to build community and help other home cooks learn from your experiences. Your username and comment content are public, but we never share your email address publicly.
Data Protection & Security
We take security seriously. All data transmission is encrypted using SSL/TLS protocols (that’s why you see the padlock in your browser). We store data on secure servers with restricted access, regular security audits, and automatic backups.
Our team members sign confidentiality agreements and only access user data when necessary to provide support or improve services. We use two-factor authentication on all admin accounts.
If we ever experience a data breach affecting your personal information, we’ll notify you within 72 hours via email and provide specific information about what data was affected and what we’re doing about it.
Your Rights (GDPR/CCPA Compliant)
You have complete control over your data. Here’s what you can do:
Access: Request a copy of all data we have about you. Email [email protected] and we’ll send a complete report within 30 days.
Correction: If your information is wrong or outdated, you can update it in your account settings or email us to do it manually.
Deletion: Want us to delete your data? We’ll do it within 30 days of your request. Note that we may need to keep some information for legal compliance (like financial records for tax purposes).
Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from emails anytime using the link at the bottom of every newsletter, or email us directly.
Data Portability: Request your data in a machine-readable format to transfer to another service.
Object to Processing: You can object to how we use your data for certain purposes, particularly marketing.
Third-Party Services
We use several trusted third-party services that may access your information:
Email Service (Mailchimp): Manages our newsletter and stores subscriber emails. Mailchimp is GDPR compliant and never sells your data.
Analytics (Google Analytics): Tracks website usage anonymously. We’ve configured it to anonymize IP addresses and respect Do Not Track signals.
Payment Processing (Stripe): If you purchase our meal plans or premium content, Stripe processes payments. We never see or store your credit card information.
Hosting (Hostinger): Our website is hosted on Hostinger servers with enterprise-level security.
Comment System (WordPress native): Comments are stored in our WordPress database with standard security measures.
Each of these services has their own privacy policies, which we’ve reviewed and verified meet our standards.
Children’s Privacy
Our website is not intended for children under 13. We don’t knowingly collect information from children. If you’re a parent and believe your child has provided us information, contact us immediately at [email protected] and we’ll delete it.
International Data Transfers
Our servers are located in the United States. If you’re accessing from the EU or other regions with data protection laws, your information will be transferred to and processed in the US. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place through our service providers’ standard contractual clauses.
Changes to This Policy
We’ll update this policy occasionally as our practices evolve or laws change. When we make material changes, we’ll notify you via email and update the “Last Updated” date above. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
