1. What Information I Collect (and Why I Bother)

Welcome to Dad's Family Kitchen! This Privacy Policy explains what personal data I collect, why I collect it, what I do with it, and how I keep it safe - all while attempting to be charming and not boring you to sleep.

Like most blogs, Dad's Family Kitchen collects a little bit of information so the site works properly and so I know whether people enjoy my recipes or just show up for the dad jokes.

Things I may collect include:

Personal Information You Give Me Directly

  • Name and email address (if you sign up for newsletters or leave comments)
  • Messages you send via contact forms

Blogs commonly collect this information to communicate with users and manage communities.

Information Collected Automatically

  • IP address
  • Browser type
  • Pages you visit
  • Time spent on each page
  • Your approximate location
  • Device information
  • Referring website or search engine

This is typical "usage data" gathered by tools like Google Analytics.

2. Cookies & Tracking Tech

Cookies help me understand what people like - whether it's baking, grilling, or ignoring instructions.
They may track:

  • Preferences
  • Session details
  • Display advertisements (if applicable)
  • Support embedded content (such as videos or social media posts)
  • Analyse website traffic and usage

3. How I Use Your Information (The Sensible Bits)

I use the collected information for:

  • Operate and maintain the website
  • Sending newsletters, emails and updates (only if you have opted in)
  • Responding to your enquires, messages and comments
  • Analysing site traffic and performance
  • Keeping things secure and running smoothly

I never sell your personal data

4. Third‑Party Services (AKA: The Helpful Strangers)

Dad's Family Kitchen may use third‑party services including:

  • Email marketing providers
  • Google Analytics – to understand how visitors use the site
  • Ad or affiliate platforms – (such as Google AdSense, Mediavine, or similar) - to display ads
  • Social sharing tools
  • Email marketing services

These third parties may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information in accordance with their own privacy policies.

I can't control what those companies do, but I only use reputable ones. No shady internet goblins here.

5. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. YouTube videos, Instagram posts). Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you visited the other website directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with their content

6. How I Protect Your Information (Digital Bubble Wrap)

While no website is 100% foolproof, I use reasonable technical and security measures to protect your data - because I care, and because I'd like to avoid angry emails!!

7. Your Rights (You're the Boss of Your Data)

Depending on where you live (looking at you, GDPR/CCPA regions), you may have rights such as:

  • Access your data
  • Correct your data
  • Delete your data
  • Opt‑out of tracking
  • Ask what information I hold
  • Complain about my cookie puns

If you want to exercise these rights, reach out using the contact details below. I will respond as soon as possible……..after coffee.

8. Children's Privacy

Dad's Family Kitchen does not knowingly collect data from children under 18.
If you're a kid reading this, go ask an adult to make you a sandwich instead!

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to:

  • Respond to enquiries
  • Comply with legal requirements
  • Maintain the operation of the website

Comments and their associated data may be retained indefinitely unless you request removal

10. Updates to This Privacy Policy

I may update this policy from time to time - recipe styles change, privacy laws evolve, and sometimes I realise I've left out something important (it happens).

11. Contact Me (Preferably Not About Burnt Lasagna)
