GDPR Policy - homemaderecipes

GDPR Compliance Policy

HomemadeRecipes ( https://homemaderecipes.us ) is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of all visitors, subscribers, and users of our website. This GDPR Compliance Policy explains how we collect, process, store, and protect personal data in accordance with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679 – “GDPR”). By using our site you acknowledge that you have read and understood the practices described below.

Data We Collect

We only collect personal data that is necessary for the legitimate purposes listed in this policy. The categories of data we process include:

Email address – collected when you subscribe to our newsletter, request a recipe, or contact us.
Cookies & tracking identifiers – used to remember your preferences, analyse site traffic, and improve user experience.
Analytics data – aggregated information such as page views, referral sources, and device type, collected through third‑party services (e.g., Google Analytics) that comply with GDPR.

How We Protect Your Data

Security is a core principle of our data‑handling practice. We employ the following technical and organisational measures:

SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our servers.
Secure, access‑controlled servers hosted in GDPR‑compliant data centres.
Limited retention periods – personal data is kept only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected, after which it is securely deleted or anonymised.
Restricted access – only authorised personnel who need the data to perform their duties have access, and they are bound by confidentiality agreements.

Legal Basis for Processing

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

Consent – when you voluntarily provide your email address for newsletters or promotional material, you give explicit consent which you may withdraw at any time.
Legitimate interest – for activities such as website security, fraud prevention, and performance analytics that are necessary for the efficient operation of HomemadeRecipes.

You may request confirmation that we are processing your personal data and obtain a copy of the data in a structured, commonly used format.

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 ask us to delete your personal data where there is no overriding legitimate reason for its continued processing.

Right to Restrict Processing

You can request that we limit the ways we use your data while we verify its accuracy or while a dispute is being resolved.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a commonly used electronic format and transmit it to another controller, where technically feasible.

Right to Object

You may object to the processing of your data for direct marketing, scientific/historical research, or any other legitimate‑interest basis.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based on your consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
