By poking around on [www.mealsparks.com](https://www.mealsparks.com), you’re basically saying, “Cool, I get this policy.” If you’re not into that, well, maybe don’t hang out here? Just saying’.
1. Who’s behind this thing?
We’re MealSparks—a bunch of food-obsessed humans on a mission to make your kitchen game stronger. Think recipes, hacks, and loads of unsolicited cooking advice. International crew, big dreams, big forks.
2. What info are you giving us?
Two flavors:
a) Personal stuff (stuff you hand over willingly)
– Signing up for our newsletter?
– Dropping a comment?
– Sending us love/hate mail?
We might get:
– Your name (or whatever you type in that box)
– Email address
– Whatever rant or rave you submit
b) Not-so-personal stuff (the behind-the-scenes techy bits)
– Your IP address (don’t worry, we’re not hackers)
– Browser and device details
– Which pages you lurked on
– How long you stuck around
– Where you came from before us
Most of this gets scooped up by cookies and analytics tools. Standard internet stalking, nothing weird.
3. What do we actually do with your info?
Mostly, we try to make things better for you. Like:
– Sprucing up the site and figuring out what you like (or hate)
– Sending you emails with recipes or updates, but only if you asked for them (promise)
– Addressing your pressing inquiries or listening to your rants.
– Keeping tabs on what’s working and what’s a total flop
Oh, and we NEVER sell your info. No shady stuff.
4. Cookies & tracking
Yeah, we use cookies. (Sadly, not the edible kind.)
– They help us see what’s popular and what’s a ghost town
– Make your visits a bit more “you”
Wanna turn off cookies? Go wild in your browser settings.Just a heads up, some things may get a bit strange or not function properly..
5. Third-party stuff
We use a handful of internet tools like:
– Google Analytics (so we know if anyone’s actually here)
– Mailchimp or similar for email stuff
– Ad networks (like Google AdSense) to pay our bills
These folks collect their own data—read their privacy policies if you’re feeling extra cautious.
6. Affiliate links, baby
Sometimes you’ll see product links. If you click and buy, we might get a lil’ kickback. Doesn’t cost you anything extra, and we only shout out stuff we’d actually use. No sellouts here.
7. How safe is your info?
We lock down your info with standard security smarts. Still, nothing online is Fort Knox. If some hacker ninja breaks in, well, we’ll do our best, but we can’t promise miracles.
8. Your rights (yes, you have ‘em)
Your location may determine your options.
– See what info we’ve got on you
– Ask us to correct it or take it down.
– Opt out of our emails—just hit unsubscribe or yell at us: contact@mealsparks.com
9. Kids—go bug your parents
You should not use this site if you are younger than thirteen.. If we accidentally grab info from a kid, we’ll delete it faster than a burnt pancake.
10. Updates
We’ll tweak this policy now and then. We will slap a fresh date on top when we do. Check back if you care. (You probably won’t. It’s cool.)
11. Got questions?
Holler at us: contact@mealsparks.com
Appreciate you trusting us with your info. Now, go make something tasty!
