Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how lowcalrecip(“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and protects personal data when you visit lowcalrecip.com(the “Site”). We are committed to handling your data in line with the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable US state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA (“CCPA”).

1. Who we are

The data controller for the Site is lowcalrecip. For any privacy question or request, contact us at contact@lowcalrecip.com.

2. What data we collect

• Email address — when you sign up for our newsletter or request the free recipe sampler. This is the only directly identifying information we ask for.
• Usage data — aggregated, anonymized page-view and performance metrics collected via cookieless analytics (see our Cookie Policy). This does not identify you.
• Essential session data — if you are a site administrator, a strictly necessary cookie keeps you logged in. Regular visitors are not given this cookie.

We do not knowingly collect special-category data, and we do not sell your personal data.

3. How and why we use your data

• To send you the recipes, sampler, and newsletter you requested.
• To understand, in aggregate, how the Site is used so we can improve it.
• To operate, secure, and maintain the Site.
• To respond to your enquiries and comply with our legal obligations.

4. Legal bases (GDPR)

• Consent — for sending you marketing/newsletter emails and for loading analytics. You can withdraw consent at any time.
• Legitimate interests — for keeping the Site secure and operational.
• Legal obligation — where we must retain or disclose data by law.

5. Cookies and analytics

We use only strictly necessary storage plus privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics (Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights), which load only after you accept via our cookie banner. Full details are in our Cookie Policy.

6. Who we share data with

We use a small number of trusted processors who act on our instructions:

• Supabase — database and file hosting for the Site and subscriber list.
• Resend — sending the emails you request.
• Vercel — website hosting and cookieless analytics.

We do not sell or rent your personal data to anyone, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

7. International transfers

Our providers may process data in the United States or other countries. Where data is transferred outside the EEA/UK, it is protected by appropriate safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

8. Data retention

We keep your email for as long as you remain subscribed. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email, after which we delete or anonymize your data unless we must keep it by law.

9. Your rights (EEA/UK)

You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or port your data, to object to processing, and to withdraw consent. To exercise any right, email contact@lowcalrecip.com. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

10. Your rights (California)

California residents have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request its deletion or correction, and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. We do not sell or share your personal information. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights. To make a request, email contact@lowcalrecip.com.

11. Children

The Site is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
