1. Introduction

Kitchenmealdaily (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and related data‑protection laws. This policy explains what personal data we collect, how it is processed, the legal basis for processing, and your rights under the GDPR. By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.

2. Personal Data We Collect

We collect the following types of personal data when you interact with Kitchenmealdaily:

• Email addresses: When you subscribe to our newsletter, create an account, or contact us, we store the email address you provide.
• Cookies and similar technologies: We use first‑party cookies to remember your preferences (e.g., language or newsletter subscription) and third‑party cookies for analytics and advertising purposes.
• Analytics data: We collect aggregated data via Google Analytics and similar services to understand how visitors use our site, which helps us improve content and user experience.

3. How We Protect Your Data

We implement technical and organisational measures to safeguard personal data:

• SSL/TLS encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted with HTTPS (TLS 1.3).
• Secure servers: We host data on encrypted, fire‑walled servers managed by reputable cloud providers.
• Access controls: Only authorised staff with a legitimate business need can access personal data. Access is logged and reviewed regularly.
• Data minimisation & retention: We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. Email addresses are retained for the duration of your subscription or until you unsubscribe. Analytics data is retained for a maximum of 12 months.
• Regular audits: We conduct periodic security audits to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data on the following legal bases:

• Consent: When you subscribe to our newsletter or create an account, you explicitly consent to receive marketing communications and to the processing of your data for those purposes.
• Legitimate interests: We rely on legitimate interests to analyse website usage, improve our services, and deliver personalised content. These interests are balanced against your rights and freedoms.

5. Your GDPR Rights

Under the GDPR you have the following rights with respect to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days of receiving your request.

Right to Access

You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, including the purposes for which it is processed and the categories of data processed. We will provide this information in a concise, intelligible format.

Right to Rectification

If any personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you can ask us to correct or update it. We will correct the data promptly and notify any parties to whom we have disclosed the data if necessary.

Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)

You may request that we delete your personal data, provided no legal obligation requires us to retain it. For example, you can delete your newsletter subscription, after which we will remove your email address from all active mailing lists and delete any related analytics records that can be uniquely linked to you.

Right to Restrict Processing

You can ask us to restrict the processing of your data when you contest its accuracy, when we no longer need it but you require it for a legal claim, or when you have objected to processing but we need to verify the legitimacy of our claims. During restriction, we will only store your data for the minimum period required.

Right to Data Portability

You may obtain a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine‑readable format (e.g., CSV, JSON). We will provide this data upon request, provided the request is clear and specific.

Right to Object

You can object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing or profiling purposes. Upon receiving your objection, we will cease processing your data for those purposes unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds.

Right to Withdraw Consent

If you have provided consent for any processing activity, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the legality of any processing carried out before the withdrawal. We will promptly stop processing your data for the purposes for which consent was given.

6. How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of the rights listed above, please send a written request to [email protected] with the following information:

• Your full name and contact details (email address, phone number, or mailing address).
• A clear statement of the right you wish to exercise (e.g., “I request a copy of my personal data”).
• Any supporting information that can help us identify the data (e.g., account username, subscription ID).

We will verify your identity to ensure the request is legitimate. Once verified, we will respond within 30 days, providing the requested information, a confirmation of the action taken, or a reason if we are unable to comply (e.g., if the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive).

7. Data Retention and Deletion

Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law. Typical retention periods are:

• Email addresses: until you unsubscribe or we receive a deletion request.
• Cookies: session cookies are deleted when the browser is closed; persistent cookies are deleted after 12 months unless you opt out.
• Analytics data: aggregated data is kept for 12 months; raw data is deleted immediately after aggregation.

8. Changes to This Policy

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