GDPR Compliance Policy

Dailycookingbites (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to safeguarding the privacy and personal data of all users of our website dailycookingbites.com. This policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR). By accessing or using our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to this policy.

1. Data We Collect

Email Addresses: We collect email addresses when you sign up for newsletters, create an account, or submit inquiries.
Cookies: We use first‑party and third‑party cookies to remember your preferences, authenticate sessions, and improve your browsing experience.
Analytics Data: We employ analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to gather anonymised data on site usage, device type, and traffic sources.

2. Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data under the following lawful bases:

Consent: When you voluntarily provide your email address or opt‑in to newsletters, we rely on your explicit consent.
Legitimate Interest: For improving site performance, security, and providing personalised content, we rely on legitimate interests, provided these interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.

3. Your GDPR Rights

Under the GDPR you have the following rights regarding your personal data. We provide clear guidance on how you can exercise each right.

Right to Access

You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, including the purposes of processing and the categories of data processed.

Right to Rectification

If any of your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you can request us to correct or update it.

Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)

You can ask us to delete your personal data, provided no legal obligation requires us to retain it.

Right to Restrict Processing

You may request that we limit the use of your data—for example, while we verify the accuracy of the information.

Right to Data Portability

You can obtain your data in a structured, commonly used format and transfer it to another controller.

Right to Object

You may object to the processing of your data for direct marketing or profiling purposes.

Right to Withdraw Consent

If you previously gave consent, you can withdraw it at any time, and we will stop processing your data accordingly.

4. How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of the rights outlined above, please contact us at [email protected]. Provide a brief description of your request and any relevant details (e.g., the data you want to access or delete). For security, we may ask you to verify your identity before processing the request.

We commit to responding to all legitimate requests within 30 days of receiving your inquiry. If we need additional time, we will inform you of the delay and the reason.

5. Data Protection Measures

We employ industry‑standard technical and organisational safeguards to protect your personal data:

SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using HTTPS.
Secure Servers: We host our data on secure, geographically redundant servers with strict access controls.
Limited Retention: Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected or as required by law. For example, email addresses used for newsletters are kept until you unsubscribe.
Access Controls: Only authorised staff members with a legitimate need to access personal data can do so, and all access is logged.
Regular Audits: We conduct periodic security reviews and penetration testing to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal data for the periods specified below unless a longer retention period is required by law or for legitimate business purposes:

Email Addresses: Retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
Cookies: First‑party cookies typically last up to 30 days; third‑party cookies are subject to the third party’s retention policy.
Analytics Data: Anonymised aggregated data is stored for up to 12 months to inform site improvements.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this GDPR Compliance Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date. We encourage you to review this policy regularly to stay informed about how we protect your data.
