• Your name (if you provide it)
• Your email address
• The content of any message you send us

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Website, we and our service providers may automatically collect certain technical information, including:

• Your IP address and approximate location (country/region)
• Browser type and version, operating system, and device type
• Referring website and exit pages
• Pages visited, time spent on pages, and date/time of visit
• Diagnostic data and unique device identifiers

This information is collected through standard server logs, cookies, and similar tracking technologies (see “Cookies and Tracking Technologies” below).

How We Use Your Information

We use the information described above to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the Website
• Respond to your inquiries and messages
• Understand how visitors use the Website (analytics)
• Serve relevant advertising through third-party ad networks
• Detect, prevent, and address technical issues, security incidents, and fraudulent activity
• Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your information to manage user accounts (we do not offer accounts) or to process transactions (we do not sell products).

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies (such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage) to operate the Website, analyze traffic, and serve relevant advertising. Cookies are small files placed on your device that allow a website to recognize your browser between visits.

The categories of cookies we and our partners use include:

• Essential cookies — required for the Website to function (for example, to remember your cookie consent choice).
• Analytics cookies — used to understand how visitors interact with the Website (for example, Google Analytics).
• Advertising cookies — used by ad networks (such as Google AdSense) to serve personalized or non-personalized advertising and to measure ad performance.

Where required by law (such as under the EU/UK GDPR), we use non-essential cookies only with your consent. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time using our cookie preferences tool, when available, or through your browser settings. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of parts of the Website.

Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising

Fresh Daily Bites uses or plans to use third-party advertising services, including Google AdSense, to display advertisements on the Website. These services use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Website or other websites on the Internet.

• Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our Website. Google’s use of the DART cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our Website and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie and personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings: https://www.google.com/settings/ads.
• More information about how Google uses data when you use its partners’ sites and apps is available at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
• You can also opt out of personalized advertising from many participating ad networks via https://optout.aboutads.info/ (US) or https://www.youronlinechoices.eu/ (EU).

We do not control the cookies, scripts, or content served by third-party advertisers, and their practices are governed by their own privacy policies.

Analytics

We use or plan to use analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors find and use the Website. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit the Website, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming here. This information is used to improve the Website and our content.

You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and you can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Third-Party Service Providers

We rely on third-party service providers to host the Website, deliver email, serve advertising, and provide analytics. These providers only process personal information on our behalf and are contractually required to keep it confidential and secure.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

• Contact form messages and email correspondence: up to 24 months from the date of the last interaction.
• Analytics data: up to 26 months (the default retention period for Google Analytics, where used).
• Server logs: typically up to 12 months for security and troubleshooting purposes.

When retention periods expire, we securely delete or anonymize personal information.

International Data Transfers

Fresh Daily Bites is operated from the United States. If you access the Website from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States or in other countries where our service providers operate. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those of your country. Where required by applicable law, we use appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) to protect international transfers.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have specific rights regarding your personal information. To exercise any right, please contact us at [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you have the right to:

Children’s Privacy

The Website is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (as defined by the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, COPPA), or from children under the age of 16 in jurisdictions where that is the applicable threshold (such as the EU/UK under the GDPR).

If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at [email protected] and we will take steps to delete that information.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Links to Other Websites

The Website may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not operated by us. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of every site you visit.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. Because no common industry standard for DNT has been adopted, we do not currently respond to DNT signals. You can manage your cookie preferences as described in the “Cookies and Tracking Technologies” section.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.
