GDPR Compliance Policy

Last Updated: April 03, 2026

Dailyrecipebites (“we”, “our”, “us”) is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of our website visitors and users. This policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, the legal basis for processing, and your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If you have any questions or wish to exercise any of the rights described below, please contact us at [email protected].

1. Data We Collect

Email Addresses: When you subscribe to our newsletter, leave a comment, or use any of our contact forms, we collect the email address you provide.
Cookies: We use essential cookies to maintain session integrity and optional cookies for analytics and marketing purposes. Cookies store identifiers such as session IDs, preference settings, and tracking tokens.
Analytics Data: We employ third‑party analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics) to gather aggregated data on page views, traffic sources, and user interactions. This data is anonymized and does not contain personal identifiers.

2. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data based on the following lawful bases:

Consent: By providing your email address or interacting with our website, you consent to the processing of your data for the purposes described in this policy.
Legitimate Interest: We process data for legitimate business interests such as improving website performance, delivering personalized content, and ensuring security. We conduct a proportionality assessment to confirm that these interests do not override your fundamental rights.

3. Data Protection Measures

We take robust technical and organisational measures to safeguard your personal data:

SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using industry‑standard SSL/TLS protocols.
Secure Servers: Our hosting environment is protected by firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and regular vulnerability assessments.
Limited Retention: Personal data is retained only as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose it was collected for. Email addresses are kept for the duration of the subscription or until you unsubscribe. Cookie data is deleted after the cookie’s expiry period.

4. Your GDPR Rights

Under the GDPR, you have several rights regarding your personal data. The following sections detail each right, the associated icon, and how you can exercise them.

Right to Access

You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, including the purposes for which it is processed, the categories of data, and the recipients of that data. This request can be made by emailing [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days with a clear summary of the requested information.

Right to Rectification

If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you can request corrections. Provide the corrected data and supporting documentation, and we will update our records within 30 days.

Right to Erasure

Also known as the “right to be forgotten”, you may request deletion of your personal data. We will erase data that is no longer necessary or if you withdraw consent, except where we are legally required to keep it. Requests are handled within 30 days.

Right to Restrict Processing

You can ask us to temporarily limit the use of your data—for example, if you dispute its accuracy. While processing is restricted, we may still store the data but cannot use it for marketing or analytics. We will comply within 30 days.

Right to Data Portability

You may receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine‑readable format. We will provide the data in a suitable format (e.g., CSV or JSON) within 30 days of your request.

Right to Object

You can object to the processing of your data for direct marketing or profiling. Upon receiving your objection, we will cease using your data for those purposes and will inform any third parties we have shared it with. The response will occur within 30 days.

Right to Withdraw Consent

If you previously gave consent to receive newsletters or marketing communications, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Simply click the unsubscribe link in our emails or contact us via [email protected]. We will honor your withdrawal within 30 days and will no longer send marketing material.

5. How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of the rights above, please send a written request to [email protected]. Include the following details:

Your full name and contact information.
A clear statement of the right you are exercising (e.g., “I request access to my personal data”).
Any relevant identifiers (e.g., email address, account ID) to help us locate your records.

We will respond within 30 days. If you require a quicker response due to urgent circumstances, please indicate this in your request and we will endeavour to expedite the process.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal data for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. Typical retention periods are:

Email addresses: Retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
Cookies: Retained for the duration of the cookie’s lifespan (e.g., 30 days for session cookies, 2 years for analytics cookies).
Analytics data: Retained in aggregated form for up to 6 months for performance analysis.
