Introduction

FamilyRecipeHub (the “Site”) is committed to safeguarding the privacy of all visitors and users in accordance with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, the legal basis for processing, the security measures we have in place, and how you can exercise your rights under the GDPR.

Personal Data We Collect

• Email addresses: Collected when you register, subscribe to newsletters, or request recipe downloads.
• Cookies & Similar Technologies: We use first‑party cookies to remember login status, language preference, and to provide a personalized browsing experience. Third‑party analytics cookies track visitor interactions to improve site performance.
• Analytics Data: Anonymous usage statistics are collected via Google Analytics and Matomo to monitor traffic patterns, page popularity, and device usage.

How We Protect Your Data

• SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is protected by industry‑standard HTTPS encryption.
• Secure Servers: Data is stored on encrypted, access‑controlled servers located in the EU, with regular penetration testing and vulnerability scans.
• Limited Retention: Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes stated in this policy. Email addresses are kept for up to 24 months after the last interaction, unless you request deletion.
• Access Controls: Only authorized personnel with a legitimate business need can access personal data. All staff undergo regular privacy training.

Legal Basis for Processing

• Consent: Where we rely on your explicit consent, such as for newsletters or marketing communications, you may withdraw consent at any time.
• Legitimate Interest: Processing of email addresses and analytics data is justified by our legitimate interest to improve site functionality, deliver relevant content, and maintain security.
