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.
  • Website Analytics: Like most blogs, I use Google Analytics to see how people use Mealazu.com. This helps me understand which recipes are popular and how I can make the site better. 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.
  • Cookies: Mealazu.com uses cookies to remember your preferences and make your experience smoother. Cookies are small files stored on your device. You can clear or block cookies anytime in your browser settings.

How Do I Use Your Information?

  • To send you the newsletter if you’ve subscribed
  • To respond to your comments or questions
  • 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.

Newsletter Details

If you sign up for the Mealazu newsletter, your email is stored securely. You’ll only get recipe updates and kitchen inspiration—never spam or sales pitches. You can unsubscribe anytime by clicking the link at the bottom of any email or by emailing me at contact@mealazu.com.

Cookies & Tracking

  • Essential Cookies: These help the site work properly, like remembering if you’ve accepted the cookie notice.
  • Analytics Cookies: These help me see which recipes are popular and how people use the site. All data is anonymous.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you do, some features might not work as smoothly, but you’ll still be able to browse recipes.

Children’s Privacy

Mealazu.com is for home cooks and food lovers of all ages, but I don’t knowingly collect personal info from children under 13. If you’re a parent and think your child has shared info here, please email me at contact@mealazu.com and I’ll remove it right away.

Your Rights Under CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act)

If you live in California, you have special rights:

  • You can ask what personal info I have about you
  • You can ask me to delete your info
  • You can ask me not to sell your info (I don’t sell anything, but you still have the right!)

To exercise any of these rights, just email me at contact@mealazu.com. I’ll respond within 45 days.

Your Rights Under GDPR (for EU Visitors)

If you’re visiting from the EU, you have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal info. You can also ask me to stop using your data. Just email me at contact@mealazu.com and I’ll help you out.

How Do I Keep Your Info Safe?

I use secure tools and services to store your info. I never share your email or personal details with anyone else. If you ever want your info deleted, just ask.

Links to Other Sites

Sometimes I link to other recipe blogs or helpful sites. If you click those links, their privacy policies apply. I can’t control what happens on other sites, so be sure to check their policies if you’re curious.

Changes to This Policy

I may update this privacy policy from time to time. If anything changes, I’ll update the date at the top of this page. You can always check back here for the latest info.
