Privacy Policy – Because Your Privacy Matters! 🔐

Effective Date: 12/06/2024

Hey there, foodie friend! At Totally Foodie, we take your privacy as seriously as we take a perfectly cooked meal (which is very seriously). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we keep it safe while you enjoy our delicious content.

By using www.totallyfoodie.com, you agree to the terms outlined here. If anything sounds confusing, feel free to reach out—we’re happy to help!

1. What Information Do We Collect?

When you visit Totally Foodie, we collect two types of information:

🍽 a. Personal Information (When You Provide It to Us!)

We only collect personal details that you voluntarily share, such as:

✔️ Your name (when you leave a comment or send us a message).
✔️ Your email address (when you subscribe to our newsletter or contact us at 📩 [email protected]).

We never collect sensitive information—just the basics to stay connected and improve your experience.

🌐 b. Non-Personal Information (Automatically Collected While You Browse)

Like most websites, we collect technical data to make our site better, including:

✔️ Browser type (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, etc.).
✔️ Device type (mobile, tablet, or desktop).
✔️ IP address (used for analytics but never linked to your identity).
✔️ Website usage data (via cookies and analytics tools to see what’s popular and what needs improvement).

This info helps us enhance your experience—because the only thing worse than a bad meal is a slow website!

2. How Do We Use Your Information?

We collect data for one reason only: to make Totally Foodie better for you! Here’s how we use it:

To improve our website – Analyzing traffic helps us see what’s working and what needs a sprinkle of improvement.
To respond to inquiries – If you reach out, we want to help!
To send newsletters & updates – But only if you sign up. No spam, just delicious food content.
To ensure website security – Keeping spam and malicious activity far, far away.

We promise never to sell, trade, or misuse your personal information. That’s just not our style.

3. Cookies & Tracking – Not the Edible Kind 🍪

Yes, we use cookies (the digital kind, not the chocolate chip kind—sadly). Cookies help:

🍪 Remember your preferences so you don’t have to enter them every time.
📊 Analyze site performance to make your browsing experience better.
🔎 Improve content suggestions so you see more of what you love.

Don’t want cookies? No worries! You can adjust your browser settings to disable them—but keep in mind, some site features may not work as expected.

For full details, check out our [Cookies Policy].

4. Do We Share Your Information?

Nope! We never sell or rent your personal information. However, we may share it in limited situations, like:

✔️ With trusted service providers – Companies that help us manage our website and email communications.
✔️ When required by law – If we have to comply with legal obligations or protect our rights.

That’s it—your data stays as private as a secret family recipe!

5. How Do We Keep Your Data Safe?

We take security seriously and use:

🔐 Encryption – Your data is protected against unauthorized access.
💻 Secure servers – All collected information is stored securely.
👀 Restricted access – Only authorized team members can access personal data.

While no system is 100% hack-proof, we do everything possible to keep your data safe.

6. Third-Party Links – Click with Caution!

Sometimes, we link to external websites for extra resources or product recommendations. Just remember:

✔️ We don’t control those sites.
✔️ Their privacy policies may be different from ours.
✔️ Always review third-party policies before sharing any personal info.

7. Children’s Privacy – No Kids’ Menu Here 🚸

We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you think a child has shared personal information with us, please email us at 📩 [email protected], and we’ll remove it ASAP.

8. Your Rights – You’re in Control!

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights over your data, including:

📂 Accessing Your Data – Request a copy of the information we hold about you.
✏️ Correcting Your Data – Ask us to fix inaccuracies.
🗑️ Erasing Your Data – Request data deletion (unless we’re legally required to keep it).
🚫 Opting Out – Unsubscribe from emails anytime by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link.
