Privacy Policy

Last Updated: December 01, 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to dishesbymum (the “Site”, “we”, “our”, or “us”). Your privacy is important to us, and this Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect the personal information you provide when you visit https://dishesbymum.com or interact with any of our services, including recipe browsing, comment posting, and newsletter subscriptions. By using the Site, you consent to the practices described herein. If you have any questions, please contact us at contact@dishesbymum.com.

2. Data Collection

We collect two main categories of information: personal data that you voluntarily provide, and automatically collected data generated by your interaction with the Site.

We only retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. If you wish to request deletion of your personal information, please email us at contact@dishesbymum.com.

3. Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to help us improve your browsing experience. We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain for a set period). The main purposes of our cookies are:

You may manage or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Disabling cookies may affect certain functionalities of the Site, such as staying signed in or accessing personalized content.

4. Analytics (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our content. Google Analytics collects information such as your IP address (anonymized in accordance with Google’s IP‑masking feature), device type, browser, and page navigation data. This information helps us:

Google’s privacy policy is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy. You may opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt‑out Browser Add‑on.

5. Email Subscriptions

When you subscribe to our newsletter, we store your email address and any optional information you provide (e.g., first name). We use a third‑party email service provider to send periodic updates, new recipes, and promotional content. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link included in every email or by contacting us directly at contact@dishesbymum.com. Unsubscribing will remove your email from our mailing list, though we may retain minimal transactional data for compliance purposes.

6. Third‑Party Services

Our Site integrates with several social platforms to enhance sharing and community interaction. Each platform has its own privacy policy, which we encourage you to review:

These services operate independently of dishesbymum, and we do not control their data collection practices. By using these features, you acknowledge and accept the respective platform’s privacy terms.

7. Advertising & Ezoic

We partner with Ezoic to display and optimize advertisements on this website. Ezoic uses advanced machine‑learning algorithms to serve ads that are relevant to each visitor. To do this, Ezoic may collect:

The data is used solely to personalize ad content, improve ad performance, and enhance overall user experience. Ezoic does not share personally identifiable information with advertisers without your explicit consent. For a full description of how Ezoic handles data, please review their privacy policy at https://www.ezoic.com/privacy-policy/.

You can manage your advertising preferences through the cookie consent banner that appears when you first visit the Site. By adjusting the “Advertising” toggle, you may opt out of personalized advertising, which will limit the data Ezoic collects for ad‑targeting purposes.

8. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure password storage, regular security audits, and limited access to data on a need‑to‑know basis. While we strive to protect your data, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100 % secure; therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. International Transfers

Our servers and third‑party service providers may be located outside of your country of residence, including the United States and the European Economic Area. By using the Site, you consent to the transfer of your information to these jurisdictions, which may have different data‑protection laws. We rely on standard contractual clauses, privacy shield frameworks, and the privacy policies of our partners to ensure an adequate level of protection.

10. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data, including:

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at contact@dishesbymum.com. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable law.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or technology. When we make significant changes, we will post a notice on the Site and update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site after any such modifications constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.

12. Contact Information

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please reach out to us via email at contact@dishesbymum.com. We are committed to addressing your inquiries promptly and transparently.
