Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 18, 2026
Welcome to Homefood.info! I’m Lina, the home cook and storyteller behind this blog. I care about your privacy and want you to feel comfortable sharing your email or browsing my recipes. This page explains what information I collect, how I use it, and your choices. If you have any questions, just reach out at [email protected] or visit the contact page.
What Information I Collect
When you visit Homefood.info, I may collect a few types of information:
- Email address: If you sign up for my newsletter, I’ll ask for your email so I can send you updates and new recipes.
- Usage data: Like most websites, I use Google Analytics to see which recipes are popular and how people use the site. This helps me make Homefood.info better for you. Google Analytics collects things like your browser type, device, pages you visit, and how long you stay.
- Cookies: These are small files stored on your device to help the website remember your preferences and understand how you use the site. You can always turn off cookies in your browser settings if you prefer.
- Comments: If you leave a comment on a recipe, I collect the info you enter (like your name and comment) and your IP address to help prevent spam.
How I Use Your Information
I use your information to:
- Send you my newsletter if you’ve signed up (and only if you’ve signed up!)
- Respond to your questions or comments
- Understand which recipes and posts are most helpful, so I can create more of what you love
- Keep the site safe and running smoothly
Sharing Your Information
I do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to anyone. I don’t share your email or personal details with third parties for marketing. The only exceptions are:
- Service providers: I use trusted tools like Google Analytics and my email newsletter service to help run the site. These providers may process your data only to help me provide the best experience for you, and they’re required to keep your info safe.
- Legal reasons: If I’m required by law to share information (for example, to comply with a court order), I’ll do so.
Cookies & Tracking
Homefood.info uses cookies to:
- Remember your preferences (like if you’ve accepted the cookie notice)
- See how people use the site, so I can improve it
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. If you turn off cookies, some parts of the site might not work quite right, but you’ll still be able to browse recipes.
Newsletter & Email
If you sign up for my newsletter, I’ll use your email address only to send you updates, recipes, and the occasional kitchen story. You can unsubscribe at any time—just click the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any email, or email me at [email protected].
Children’s Privacy
Homefood.info is meant for home cooks and food lovers of all ages, but I don’t knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you think your child has shared personal info here, please let me know and I’ll remove it right away.
Your Rights (CCPA & More)
If you live in California, you have special rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Here’s what that means for you:
- Know: You can ask what personal info I have about you and how I use it.
- Delete: You can ask me to delete your personal info.
- Opt-out: I don’t sell your info, but you can always ask me not to share it with anyone.
- No discrimination: I’ll never treat you differently for exercising your privacy rights.
To make a request, just email [email protected] or visit the contact page. I’ll respond as soon as possible (and always within the time required by law).
How I Keep Your Info Safe
I do my best to keep your information secure. I use trusted services and take reasonable steps to protect your data. But remember, no website or email is 100% secure—so please be careful with what you share online.
Links to Other Sites
Sometimes I link to other food blogs, kitchen shops, or helpful resources. If you click a link and leave Homefood.info, this privacy policy no longer applies. Please check the privacy policy of any site you visit.
Changes to This Policy
I may update this privacy policy from time to time to keep up with new laws or changes to the site. If I make big changes, I’ll post a notice here. The date at the top always shows when this policy was last updated.
Contact Me
If you have any questions about your privacy, want to see what info I have about you, or want your info deleted, just email [email protected] or visit the contact page. I’m always happy to help.
Thank you for trusting me with your information and for being part of the Homefood.info community!
