This is a recipe site, not a data business. I collect the little I need to run it and send the newsletter. I do not sell your information.
Who runs this site
This Guy Cooks, in Los Angeles, California. Write to info@thisguycooks.com or use the contact page.
What I collect
What you hand me. Your email address when you subscribe. Your name if you give it. Whatever you write in a comment, a rating, or a message.
What arrives on its own. The pages you look at, the site or search that sent you, your general location from your IP address, your device and browser. None of it tells me your name.
Why
To run the site, send the newsletter you asked for, answer you when you write, and see which recipes are worth making more of. Nothing else.
Who else touches it
- Google Analytics counts visits and shows which recipes hold attention.
- Kit runs the newsletter. It holds your email address and whether you open the emails.
- The providers who host, protect, and deliver this site, and the tools that keep spam out of the comments. They handle technical information like your IP address, never your name.
- Embedded video and social posts (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest). That platform serves the post, sees the visit, and sets its own cookies under its own policy.
I do not sell or share your information for advertising. There are no ad networks on this site.
Your choices
- Unsubscribe. Every newsletter has a link at the bottom.
- Ask me. I will tell you what I hold, send you a copy, correct it, or delete it.
- Block or clear cookies in your browser settings. What gets set is on the Cookie Policy.
- Opt out of Google Analytics with Google's browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
In California
You can ask what I have collected, ask for a copy, ask me to correct it, and ask me to delete it. You can tell me not to sell or share it, though I do neither. Asking changes nothing about how you are treated.
In the UK or the European Economic Area
You can see, correct, delete, restrict, and move your data, and object to how it is used. The newsletter runs on your consent, and you can withdraw it at any time. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
How long I keep it
Newsletter details stay until you unsubscribe or ask me to delete them. Comments stay unless you ask me to remove them. Analytics is held in aggregate under Google's standard retention.
Children
This site is not for children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect their information. If a child has sent me something, write to me and I will delete it.
Security
The site runs on managed infrastructure, the software is kept current, and your data goes to as few services as possible. No site can promise more than that.
Changes
When this changes, the date at the top changes.
