Privacy Policy

Who operates this website

Breakfast Bake (breakfastbake.com) is operated by an individual. We use the name Breakfast Bake as the public-facing name. We do not publish a personal residential address on this page.

For privacy questions or requests, email [email protected].

Information that may be processed

Depending on which features you use, information may include:

• Technical and security information: information handled by the hosting or delivery services when a page is requested, such as an IP address, browser details, request time and requested URL. The exact logs and retention periods depend on the hosting configuration.
• Messages you send: your email address and the contents of a message if you contact us.
• Newsletter sign-ups: if you subscribe, your email address, the date and time you signed up and confirmed, your IP address at sign-up, and the page you signed up from.
• Comments or ratings: information you submit through those features, such as a display name, email address, comment or rating. Public-facing fields may appear with your submission.
• On-device preferences: the website may store preferences and saved recipe information in your browser’s local storage. This information remains in your browser unless a feature explicitly sends it to a server.

Please do not send sensitive personal information through comments or general contact messages.

Analytics and advertising

At the time this policy was updated:

• We have not connected a third-party analytics service.
• We do not currently display third-party advertising.

If these services are introduced, we will update this policy and the relevant cookie information to describe the actual providers and data use. We will not identify a provider as active before it is configured.

Email marketing

If you sign up for our newsletter, we send your email address to MailerLite (MailerLite Limited), the service we use to store our subscriber list and send emails. You can read MailerLite’s privacy policy.

• Double opt-in: you’ll first receive an email asking you to confirm. You won’t receive newsletters unless you confirm.
• What we send: our top recipes and, after that, new recipes and baking tips about twice a month.
• Unsubscribing: every email has an unsubscribe link, and you can also unsubscribe on our unsubscribe page or by emailing [email protected].
• Email measurement: MailerLite may record whether an email was opened or a link was clicked, so we can see which recipes are useful. Many email apps let you block this by not loading images.
• Legal basis: your consent, given when you tick the box on the sign-up form. You can withdraw it at any time by unsubscribing.

We do not sell or rent our subscriber list.

Cookies and browser storage

The website may use essential cookies or browser storage for site operation, consent preferences, saved recipes and display preferences. The exact items are listed in our Cookie Policy. You can also manage or clear cookies and local storage through your browser settings.

Why information may be used

Information may be used to:

• deliver pages and operate requested website features;
• protect the website against spam, abuse and technical problems;
• respond to messages, questions and privacy requests;
• send the newsletter to people who subscribed and confirmed;
• moderate comments and ratings where those features are available;
• comply with applicable legal obligations.

We do not currently use third-party analytics or advertising profiles to make decisions about visitors.

Sharing and service providers

The website relies on hosting and technical infrastructure to make pages available. Those providers may process technical request information as part of delivering and securing the service. The provider-specific details will be added when the production hosting arrangement is confirmed.

Newsletter subscriber information is processed by MailerLite on our behalf, as described in Email marketing.

We do not sell personal information. We do not currently use an advertising network or an analytics provider.

Retention and security

We keep newsletter subscriber information until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. We keep messages and submitted content only for as long as reasonably needed to respond, operate the relevant feature, address disputes or meet legal obligations. Technical log retention is controlled in part by the hosting provider and its configuration; we do not state a fixed period here because it has not been verified.

We take reasonable steps to protect information, but no website or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.

Your choices and privacy requests

You can:

• choose what information you include in a message or comment;
• unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time;
• clear site cookies and local storage in your browser;
• ask us to correct or delete information you have sent us, where we are able to do so;
• stop using a feature or the website.

To make a privacy request, email [email protected]. Please describe the request and provide enough information for us to locate the relevant message or submission. Do not send passwords or identity documents unless we specifically explain why they are necessary.

Privacy rights depend on the laws that apply to you. If a particular privacy law gives you additional rights, we will handle a valid request in accordance with that law.

Children

Breakfast Bake is a general-audience recipe website and is not intended to collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, contact us so we can review the matter.
