GDPR Compliance Policy

Last Updated: November 25, 2025

1. Introduction

MyRecipesDaily (the “Site”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of its users in accordance with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679). This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we protect it, and the rights you have under the GDPR. By using our Site (https://myrecipesdaily.com) you consent to the processing of your data as described below.

2. Personal Data We Collect

Email address – provided voluntarily when you subscribe to our newsletter, create an account, or contact us.
Cookies and similar tracking technologies – used to remember your preferences, analyse usage patterns, and improve the Site’s performance.
Analytics data – aggregated information such as IP address, device type, browser version, and pages visited, collected via third‑party analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics) to understand how visitors interact with the Site.

We do not collect any special categories of personal data (e.g., health, racial or ethnic origin) and we do not process data of children under the age of 16 without parental consent.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

Under the GDPR, we must have a lawful basis for each processing activity. Our bases are:

Consent – when you voluntarily sign up for the newsletter or accept cookies, you give us explicit consent to process your email address and tracking data.
Legitimate interest – we process analytics data and use cookies to improve the Site’s functionality, security, and user experience. This interest is balanced against your rights and freedoms, and you may object at any time (see Section 5).

4. How We Protect Your Data

We employ a range of technical and organisational measures to safeguard your personal data:

SSL/TLS encryption – all data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using HTTPS.
Secure servers – our hosting environment is regularly audited, employs firewalls, and restricts access to authorised personnel only.
Limited retention periods – email addresses are retained only as long as you remain subscribed or until you request deletion. Analytics data is stored in an aggregated, pseudonymised form for a maximum of 24 months.
Access controls – staff members who need to handle personal data receive training on data protection and are bound by confidentiality agreements.
Regular security testing – we conduct vulnerability scans and penetration tests to identify and remediate potential weaknesses.

5. Your GDPR Rights

As a data subject, you enjoy the following rights under the GDPR. Each right is presented with a Bootstrap icon for quick reference.

Right to Access

You may request confirmation that we are processing your personal data and obtain a copy of that data, together with the purposes of processing, categories of data, and recipients.

Right to Rectification

If any of your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to have it corrected without undue delay.

Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)

You may request the deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or where you withdraw consent.

Right to Restrict Processing

You can ask us to limit the way we use your data while we verify the accuracy of the information or assess a legal claim.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine‑readable format and to transmit it to another controller.

Right to Object

You may object to the processing of your data for direct marketing, profiling, or where we rely on legitimate interests. Upon objection, we will cease processing unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Whenever we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time, free of charge. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

6. How to Exercise Your Rights

7. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary:

Email addresses – retained while you remain subscribed or until a deletion request is fulfilled.
Cookies – session cookies are deleted when the browser is closed; persistent cookies have a maximum lifespan of 12 months unless you delete them earlier.
Analytics data – stored in an aggregated form for up to 24 months, after which it is automatically purged.

8. International Data Transfers

All personal data is processed within the European Economic Area (EEA). If a transfer outside the EEA is ever required (e.g., for a third‑party service), we will ensure that appropriate safeguards—such as Standard Contractual Clauses—are in place.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this GDPR Compliance Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any revisions will be posted on this page with a new “Last Updated” date. Continued use of the Site after changes constitute your acceptance of the revised policy.
