ERARECIPES LEGAL
Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information EraRecipes collects, why it is used, when it may be shared, and the choices available to visitors.
1. Who We Are
EraRecipes operates the website erarecipes.com. For data-protection purposes, the website is operated by EraRecipes, trading as EraRecipes.
Privacy questions and requests may be sent through our Contact page or to [email protected].
2. Information We Collect
Information you provide
We may collect information that you voluntarily provide when you:
- subscribe to receive recipes or newsletters;
- send a message through the contact form;
- request a correction or submit a recipe suggestion;
- interact with a comment, rating, or submission feature if one is enabled.
This information may include your name, email address, message, and any other details you choose to provide.
Information collected automatically
When you visit EraRecipes, our website, hosting provider, security provider, and any consented analytics tools may process technical information such as:
- IP address and approximate location derived from it;
- browser, device, operating system, and language;
- pages viewed, referring page, search terms used on the site, and visit times;
- security, error, and server-log information;
- cookie choices and identifiers where applicable.
Information we do not currently request
EraRecipes does not currently require visitor accounts, direct payments, or payment-card details. This policy must be updated before paid products, subscriptions, accounts, giveaways, or other data-collection features are introduced.
3. How We Use Information
We use personal information only for appropriate website and editorial purposes, including to:
- operate, maintain, secure, and troubleshoot the website;
- respond to messages, questions, and correction requests;
- send newsletters when a visitor has subscribed;
- measure and improve website performance when analytics consent has been given where required;
- prevent spam, abuse, fraud, and security incidents;
- meet legal, regulatory, and record-keeping obligations.
EraRecipes does not sell personal information.
4. Legal Bases for Processing
Where the GDPR, UK GDPR, or similar laws apply, EraRecipes relies on one or more of the following legal bases:
- Consent: for newsletters and non-essential cookies or tracking where consent is required.
- Legitimate interests: for website security, basic performance monitoring, responding to ordinary inquiries, preventing abuse, and improving content, where those interests are not overridden by your rights.
- Steps requested before a contract: when responding to a specific business inquiry.
- Legal obligation: when processing is necessary to comply with applicable law.
You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting processing that occurred before withdrawal.
6. Sharing and Service Providers
We may disclose information only as reasonably necessary to operate the website, communicate with visitors, comply with law, or protect the website and its users.
| Purpose | Provider | Information involved |
|---|---|---|
| Website hosting | Hostinger | Server logs, IP address, website data |
| Security and content delivery | Cloudflare | IP address, request and security information |
| Newsletter delivery | EraRecipes | Email address and subscription status |

We may also disclose information when required by law, to investigate misuse or security incidents, or as part of a sale, merger, or transfer of the website, subject to applicable legal protections.
Third-party links
EraRecipes links to external websites and social platforms, including Pinterest. Those services operate under their own terms and privacy policies. EraRecipes is not responsible for their independent practices.
7. International Data Transfers
Some service providers may process information outside the country where a visitor lives. Where required, EraRecipes will rely on an applicable adequacy decision, standard contractual clauses, another approved transfer mechanism, or an available legal exception.
8. Data Retention
- Newsletter information is retained until you unsubscribe or the mailing list is closed, subject to limited suppression records needed to respect an unsubscribe request.
- Contact-form messages are generally retained only as long as needed to answer the inquiry, maintain appropriate business records, or resolve a dispute.
- Security and server logs are retained according to the settings of our hosting and security providers.
- Cookie-consent records may be retained to document your choices.
Information may be kept longer when required by law, needed to establish or defend legal claims, or necessary to prevent fraud or abuse.
9. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live and the law that applies, you may have rights to:
- request access to personal information;
- correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
- request deletion in certain circumstances;
- restrict or object to certain processing;
- receive certain information in a portable format;
- withdraw consent;
- opt out of marketing communications;
- complain to an appropriate data-protection authority.

10. Children’s Privacy
EraRecipes is a general-audience recipe website and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly request personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
Where local law sets a higher age for valid online consent, a parent or guardian should provide any required consent.
11. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect information, including HTTPS encryption, access controls, website updates, hosting protections, and security services. No website or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure.
