freshpanrecipes (the “Website”) is committed to protecting your personal data and ensuring that it is processed in accordance with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and all applicable data‑protection laws. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how we protect it, and your rights as a data subject. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at [email protected].

1. Data We Collect

Email addresses: When you subscribe to our newsletter, create an account, or request recipe tips, we store your email address to send you relevant content.
Cookies: We use first‑party cookies to remember your preferences (e.g., language, theme) and to keep you logged in. We also use third‑party cookies from analytics services to understand how visitors interact with the site.
Analytics data: We collect aggregated, anonymised data such as page views, click‑through rates, and geographic location through Google Analytics and similar tools. This helps us improve the user experience and optimise the site.

2. How We Protect Your Data

All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is protected by HTTPS (SSL/TLS) encryption.
We store personal data on secure, ISO‑27001 certified servers with access restricted to authorised staff only.
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. Email addresses are automatically deleted after 24 months of inactivity unless you opt‑in to future communications.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

We rely on two lawful bases for processing your personal data:

Consent: When you sign up for our newsletter or create an account, you give explicit consent for us to store and use your email address for marketing and account‑related communications.
Legitimate Interest: We process analytics data and use cookies to improve website functionality, personalise content, and analyse user behaviour, which we consider a legitimate interest in providing a better user experience.

Under the GDPR you have the following rights regarding your personal data. Each right is illustrated with an icon for quick reference.

Right to Access: You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Right to Rectification: You can ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
Right to Erasure: You may request that we delete your personal data, subject to legal obligations.
Right to Restrict Processing: You can ask us to limit the use of your data for specific purposes.
Right to Data Portability: You may receive your data in a structured, commonly used format and transfer it to another controller.
Right to Object: You can object to processing of your data for direct marketing or profiling.
Right to Withdraw Consent: You may withdraw consent at any time, and we will stop processing your data for that purpose.

Your full name and contact details.
A description of the request (e.g., “I wish to delete my email address from your database”).
Any supporting documents that verify your identity if requested (e.g., a copy of a passport).

We will respond to your request within 30 days, as required by the GDPR. If we need additional time, we will inform you of the reason and the new expected deadline.
