This Privacy Policy explains how Freestyle in the Kitchen (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information when you visit freestyleinkitchen.com, submit a form, leave a comment, or interact with advertising, analytics, and other services available through the website.
Information We Collect
Information you provide
When you submit a contact form, leave a comment, or send another message, we may receive the information you enter, such as your name, email address, message, and the page involved. Please do not submit sensitive personal information through a public comment.
Information collected automatically
When you use the website, we and our service providers may automatically receive technical and activity information. This can include your IP address, approximate location, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, timestamps, and interactions with content, advertisements, or sponsored recommendations.
Cookies, pixels, local storage, tags, and similar technologies may be used to operate and secure the site, remember choices, prevent fraud, measure audiences and performance, and provide or measure advertising. Some are set by us and others are set by third parties.
How We Use Information
- Operate, maintain, secure, and troubleshoot the website.
- Respond to messages, questions, correction requests, and privacy requests.
- Publish and moderate comments and prevent spam, fraud, and abuse.
- Understand traffic and improve content, navigation, and performance.
- Display, personalize where permitted, limit, and measure advertisements or sponsored recommendations.
- Measure affiliate referrals and maintain business records.
- Comply with applicable law and protect our visitors, rights, and services.
Comments, Forms, and Site Services
WordPress, hosting, security, caching, form, and spam-protection providers may process technical data or information you submit to deliver messages, protect the site, and prevent abuse. Approved public comments may display the name and content you choose to provide. We may use services supplied by Automattic or Jetpack, Cloudflare, Google, and other operational or measurement providers under their respective privacy terms.
Advertising and Sponsored Recommendations
We may use advertising and content-recommendation services, including Google AdSense and Taboola. These partners and their vendors may use cookies, device or browser identifiers, pixels, IP addresses, browsing activity, and advertisement interactions to select, deliver, limit, personalize where permitted, prevent fraud, and measure advertisements or sponsored recommendations.
Google advertising
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a visitor’s prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and other sites. Google may receive information such as the page URL, IP address, browser information, and ad interactions.
Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services. Visitors can manage personalized Google advertising through My Ad Center. Additional industry opt-out choices are available at YourAdChoices.
Taboola
Taboola may provide sponsored content recommendations and related measurement services. Taboola may collect pseudonymous identifiers, IP address, device and browser information, pages visited, referring information, approximate location, timestamps, and interactions with recommendations or advertisements. Taboola may use this information for contextual or interest-based recommendations, analytics, fraud prevention, and service improvement.
Read Taboola’s Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy for details and regional privacy choices. Taboola explains interest-based advertising opt-outs and data-rights requests through those pages. Opting out of personalized recommendations does not necessarily stop contextual advertisements from appearing.
Other advertising vendors
Advertising platforms may work with additional approved vendors and measurement providers. Their technologies and processing are governed by their own privacy notices. Visitors can review available choices through the site’s consent controls, their browser settings, the advertising partners’ privacy pages, and applicable industry opt-out tools.
Cookie and Advertising Choices
You can block or delete cookies through your browser, although doing so may affect site features. Where a consent-management control is displayed, use it to accept, reject, or manage the available categories. Choices are generally stored per browser and device, so you may need to repeat them after clearing cookies or when using another device.
For visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, personalized advertising requires appropriate consent through a Google-certified consent management platform where applicable. Declining personalized advertising may still allow contextual or limited ads that do not use your activity to personalize what you see.
Affiliate Links and External Content
Some pages may contain affiliate links to merchants. A merchant may receive referral information and process your activity under its own privacy policy when you follow a link. Please see our Affiliate and Advertising Disclosure.
Articles may also contain embedded content or links from other websites. Those third parties may collect information as if you visited their service directly. Their privacy policies govern their independent processing.
How We Share Information
We may share information with vendors that provide hosting, security, analytics, forms, advertising, sponsored recommendations, spam protection, and related services; with professional advisers; when required by law; to investigate misuse or protect rights and safety; or as part of a merger, sale, financing, or other business transfer.
We do not claim that personal information is sold for money. Certain uses of advertising identifiers or targeted advertising may nevertheless be defined as a “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under some privacy laws. Where those laws apply, you may have the right to opt out.
Legal Bases and International Processing
Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we process information with consent; to respond to a request; for legitimate interests such as operating, securing, measuring, and improving the site; or to comply with legal obligations. Our providers may process information in countries other than where you live. When required, appropriate safeguards are used for international transfers.
Retention and Security
We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected, security, recordkeeping, dispute resolution, or legal compliance. Comment records, security logs, and backups may remain longer when reasonably necessary or technically required. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or information about disclosures; object to certain processing; withdraw consent; or opt out of targeted advertising, sale, or sharing as those terms are defined by applicable law. We may need to verify your request and may retain information where permitted or required by law. You will not be discriminated against for exercising an applicable privacy right.
Use our Contact page to submit a privacy request. Advertising choices can also be exercised directly through the Google and Taboola links above. If your jurisdiction provides a right to appeal a denied request or complain to a supervisory authority, you may exercise that right.
Children’s Privacy
This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Contact us if you believe a child has submitted personal information improperly so that we can review and address the request.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the website, vendors, or legal requirements change. The date at the top identifies the current version. Material changes may also be communicated through an additional notice when appropriate.
