Short version: we collect very little.

01 What we collect

Newsletter subscribers

If you subscribe to our email list, we collect your email address. That is the only personal information we store. We do not ask for your name, location, or any other identifying detail.

Analytics

Like most websites, we use analytics tools that collect anonymous information about how visitors use the site — pages visited, time spent on page, referral source, and device type. This data is aggregated. It cannot be used to identify you individually.

Affiliate links

When you click an affiliate link, the merchant may record that click for commission tracking purposes. We do not receive personally identifiable information from this process.

We do not collect

• Payment information of any kind
• Physical addresses
• Phone numbers
• Any information from children under 13

02 How we use it

We use the information we collect to:

• Send you recipes and updates if you subscribed (email address only)
• Understand which content is useful to our readers (analytics only)
• Improve the site over time

We do not sell, rent, or share your email address with third parties outside of our email service provider. We do not use your data for advertising.

03 Cookies

This site uses cookies for two purposes:

Analytics cookies

Set by Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. All data is anonymous and aggregated.

Preference cookies

Used to remember basic display preferences. No personal data is stored.

You can disable cookies at any time in your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not affect your ability to read recipes or use the site — it will only affect analytics tracking.

By continuing to use this site, you consent to our use of cookies as described above.

04 Third-party services

We use the following third-party services. Each has its own privacy policy — please review them directly if you want to understand how they handle your data.

Note: Amazon Associates links may appear on this site. Amazon has its own privacy policy at amazon.com/privacy.

05 Your rights

Depending on where you are located, you may have rights under GDPR (European Union) or CCPA (California, United States).

These rights may include:

• The right to access the personal data we hold about you
• The right to correct inaccurate data
• The right to request deletion of your data
• The right to withdraw consent at any time
• The right to data portability

To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@savoryfolks.com with the subject line "Privacy Request." We will respond within 30 days.

To unsubscribe from our newsletter, click the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email we send you.

06 Data retention

Email addresses

We retain your email address for as long as you are subscribed to our newsletter. When you unsubscribe, your address is removed from our active list. Deletion from our email provider's system may take up to 30 days.

Analytics data

Anonymous analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics' standard retention settings (26 months by default). No personally identifiable information is included.

07 Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our practices change — for example, if we add a new third-party service or change our email provider. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page always reflects the most recent version.

Continued use of the site after a policy change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. If the change is material, we will note it clearly at the top of this page.
