Privacy policy

Tastes Delicious is a visual catalog — every recipe card links out to where the recipe actually lives, on the publisher's own site. This policy covers what happens on tastesdelicious.com itself. Once you click through to a recipe, that site's own privacy policy applies to whatever happens there.

Information we collect

• Account info. Creating an account (or accepting an invitation) stores your email address and any display name you provide.
• Newsletter. Creating an account also subscribes you to our recipe newsletter — just your email address and a subscription status. Every newsletter email includes a one-click unsubscribe link that works without logging in.
• Recipe submissions. If you submit a recipe, we store its title, blurb, source link, the photo you provide (or a photo you link to), and the tags you select.
• Saved recipes. Recipes you save are tied to your account so we can show them back to you on your saved page.
• Visit counts. When you click through to a recipe, we log a one-way cryptographic hash of your IP address — not the address itself — so we can count each visitor once per recipe without being able to identify you from it.

How we use it

To run your account, show your saved recipes and submissions, send transactional email (submission decisions, password resets, invitations) and the newsletter you're subscribed to, and keep save and visit counts accurate and resistant to abuse. We don't sell or rent your email address or personal information to anyone.

Cookies

We use one cookie to keep you signed in. Plausible Analytics and Google Analytics help us understand how visitors use the site; Mediavine manages the advertising shown here, including third-party interest-based ads. See "Mediavine Programmatic Advertising" below for details on what that involves.

Mediavine Programmatic Advertising (Ver 1.1)

The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a "device") by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.

First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, "Tags") may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser's cache. The "help" feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies and how to clear your browser's cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.

Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.

The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalized ads:

• IP Address
• Operating System type
• Operating System version
• Device Type
• Language of the website
• Web browser type
• Email (in hashed form)

Mediavine Partners (companies listed below with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link to other end user information the partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements. Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers in order to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers and apps. This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor's referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.

If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices to opt-in or opt-out of this data collection, please visit National Advertising Initiative opt out page. You may also visit Digital Advertising Alliance website and Network Advertising Initiative website to learn more information about interest-based advertising. You may download the AppChoices app at Digital Advertising Alliance's AppChoices app to opt out in connection with mobile apps, or use the platform controls on your mobile device to opt out.

Services we use

Behind the scenes, a few providers process data on our behalf, to run the site:

• Supabase — our database, sign-in, and photo storage.
• Resend — delivers transactional email (submission decisions, password resets, invitations).
• Kit — delivers the recipe newsletter and handles its unsubscribe link.
• Vercel — hosts the website.

They only use your information to provide their service to us — not for their own marketing.

Your choices

• Unsubscribe from the newsletter anytime with the link in any email.
• Remove a saved recipe, or delete one you've submitted, from your dashboard.
• To update your account or ask us to delete it and everything tied to it, email jenn@tastesdelicious.com.

Children's privacy

Tastes Delicious isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site changes. We'll update the date at the top whenever we do.
