Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 18, 2026

Introduction

Your privacy matters to me. This policy explains what information Yum Home Kitchen (yumhomekitchen.com) collects, how it’s used and what choices you have. By using this site, you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

Information You Give Us

• Comments: If you leave a comment, we collect your name, email address and the comment itself. Your name and comment may appear publicly. Your email will not.
• Newsletter sign-ups: If you subscribe, we collect your email address and, if you choose to share it, your first name.
• Emails you send me: If you write to hello@yumhomekitchen.com, I keep your message and email address so I can reply.

Information Collected Automatically

• Your IP address
• Device and browser type
• Pages you visit, how long you stay and how you found the site
• Cookies and similar technologies (see below)

How We Use Your Information

I use your information to:

• Run, secure and improve the site
• Reply to your comments and emails
• Send newsletter emails you signed up for
• Understand which recipes and pages people enjoy
• Show ads, if ads are running on the site
• Follow the law and prevent spam or abuse

I don’t sell your personal information.

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. They help the site work, remember your preferences and measure traffic.

You can control cookies in your browser settings. You can block them, delete them or ask your browser to warn you before they’re set. If you block all cookies, some parts of the site may not work as expected. Your browser’s help section explains how.

Analytics

I use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as pages viewed, time on site and general location. This information is used in groups, not to identify you personally. You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Advertising

This site may show ads from third-party advertising networks. These companies may use cookies, web beacons and similar tools to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites. This is called interest-based advertising.

[PASTE AD NETWORK SNIPPET HERE]

You can opt out of interest-based ads in these ways:

• Visit the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page at optout.aboutads.info
• Visit the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page at optout.networkadvertising.org
• Adjust the ad settings in your Google account or on your device
• If you’re in the EU or UK, use the cookie consent banner on the site to manage your choices

Opting out won’t remove ads. It just means the ads you see may be less relevant to you.

Newsletter

I use MailerLite to send newsletter emails. When you subscribe, your email address (and first name, if provided) is stored with MailerLite, which processes it on my behalf. Every email includes an unsubscribe link. Click it anytime and you’ll be removed from the list. MailerLite has its own privacy policy, which explains how it handles data.

Payments

I sell my digital products, such as the printable weekly dinner planner, on Etsy. Etsy handles all payments, and I never see or store your card details. Etsy’s own privacy policy and terms apply to your purchase. I may receive basic order information from Etsy, such as your name and email address, so I can support your order.

Children Under 13

This site is meant for adults. It is not directed at children under 13, and I don’t knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given me personal information, please email me and I’ll delete it promptly.

Your Rights

EU and UK (GDPR)

If you live in the EU or UK, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data I hold about you
• Correct it if it’s wrong
• Ask me to delete it
• Limit or object to how I use it
• Receive a copy of your data
• Withdraw your consent at any time

My legal reasons for using your data are your consent (for example, newsletters and non-essential cookies), my legitimate interest in running and improving the site, and legal obligations. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

How to Ask for Data Deletion

Email me at hello@yumhomekitchen.com with the subject line “Delete my data.” Tell me the email address you used, and I’ll respond within 30 days. I may need to confirm it’s really you before I delete anything. Some information may be kept if the law requires it.

Third-Party Links

This site may link to other websites. I don’t control them and I’m not responsible for their privacy practices. Please read the policy of any site you visit.

Changes to This Policy

I may update this policy from time to time. When I do, I’ll change the date at the top of this page. Please check back occasionally.
