Welcome to Mealazu!
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by Mealazu.com. Your privacy is important to me, and I want you to feel comfortable every time you visit, browse recipes, or sign up for my newsletter. This page explains what information I collect, how I use it, and your rights as a visitor. If you have any questions, just reach out at contact@mealazu.com or visit the Contact page.
What Information Do I Collect?
- Email Address: If you sign up for my newsletter, I collect your email so I can send you recipes, kitchen tips, and updates. That’s it—no spam, ever.

Google Analytics collects things like your browser type, device, pages you visit, and how long you stay. This info is anonymous and doesn’t identify you personally.
- Comments: If you leave a comment on a recipe, I collect your name (if you provide it), email address, and your comment. Your email is never shown publicly.

- To improve the website and make it more helpful for you
- To keep the site safe and running smoothly
Do I Share Your Information?
Nope! I don’t sell, rent, or share your personal info with anyone. The only exception is if I’m required by law (like a court order) or if I need to protect the site from fraud or abuse.
Google Analytics may use cookies and collect anonymous data, but they don’t get your email or personal details. You can read more about how Google handles data here.
