4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We and our service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Keep the website functioning
• Remember visitor preferences
• Measure website traffic
• Understand how visitors use the Services
• Measure newsletter and advertising performance
• Identify referring websites and campaigns
• Prevent fraud and improve security
• Deliver or measure relevant advertising

Some cookies may be necessary for the website to operate. Others may be used for analytics, advertising, or personalization.

You may be able to control cookies through your browser settings or through any consent-management tools made available on our website. Disabling cookies may affect how certain parts of the Services function.

5. Analytics and Advertising

We may use third-party analytics, newsletter, advertising, hosting, and measurement services.

These providers may collect information about your device, browsing activity, newsletter engagement, and interactions with advertisements or sponsored content.

Depending on the technologies we use, third parties may use cookies, tracking pixels, device identifiers, or similar technologies to measure engagement and provide services to us.

We do not control how unaffiliated third parties use information they collect independently. Their handling of information is governed by their own privacy policies.

6. Affiliate Links and Sponsored Content

Your Daily Fork may publish affiliate links, product recommendations, advertisements, or sponsored content.

When you select an affiliate link or purchase a product through one of our links, we may receive a commission or other compensation. This generally does not increase the price you pay.

Affiliate networks, retailers, advertisers, and other partners may use cookies or tracking technologies to determine whether a visit or purchase originated through Your Daily Fork.

We may also share aggregated or campaign-level performance data with advertisers and sponsors, such as total impressions, clicks, or engagement. We do not intend to provide advertisers with subscriber email addresses unless we clearly disclose that arrangement and obtain any consent required by law.

7. How We Share Information

We may disclose information to the following categories of recipients.

Service Providers

We may share information with companies that perform services on our behalf, including:

• Newsletter and email-delivery providers
• Website hosting providers
• Cloud storage providers
• Analytics providers
• Advertising and measurement providers
• Security and fraud-prevention providers
• Customer-support providers
• Professional advisers

These providers may access information only as reasonably necessary to perform services for us, subject to their agreements and legal obligations.

Advertising and Business Partners

We may work with advertisers, affiliate networks, retailers, sponsors, and other business partners. We may provide these parties with aggregated, deidentified, or campaign-level information. Certain partners may also collect information directly through cookies, pixels, affiliate links, or other technologies.

Legal and Safety Disclosures

We may disclose information when we reasonably believe doing so is necessary to:

• Comply with a law, regulation, court order, or legal process
• Respond to lawful requests from public authorities
• Enforce our agreements and policies
• Protect our rights, property, users, or the public
• Investigate fraud, abuse, or security incidents
• Prevent physical, financial, or other harm

Business Transfers

If Your Daily Fork is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, sale of assets, bankruptcy, or similar transaction, information may be disclosed or transferred as part of that transaction.

8. Sale or Sharing of Personal Information

Your Daily Fork does not sell subscriber email addresses for money. Certain privacy laws may define “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” broadly enough to include some uses of advertising cookies, analytics technologies, or information exchanged with advertising partners. Where required, we will provide visitors with applicable notices and methods to exercise opt-out rights. You may contact [email protected] with questions about these practices or to submit a privacy request.

9. Your Privacy Choices

Depending on where you live and subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Request access to personal information we maintain about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of personal information
• Request information about how we collect, use, or disclose information
• Opt out of certain sales, sharing, or targeted advertising
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• Appeal a decision regarding a privacy request
• Receive equal service without unlawful discrimination for exercising a privacy right

These rights may be subject to exceptions and verification requirements.

To submit a request, email [email protected] with the subject line “Privacy Request.”

Please describe the request and provide enough information for us to reasonably verify your identity and locate relevant records. We may request additional information where permitted by law.

Authorized agents may submit requests where applicable, but we may require proof of authorization and verification of the consumer’s identity.

10. California Privacy Rights

California residents may have rights under California privacy laws, including rights to know, access, correct, or delete certain personal information and to opt out of certain sales or sharing.

The categories of personal information we may collect include:

• Identifiers, such as email addresses and IP addresses
• Internet or electronic-network activity
• Approximate geolocation information
• Commercial and engagement information
• Inferences based on interactions with our content
• Information voluntarily included in communications

We may collect this information directly from you, automatically through your use of the Services, or from service providers and business partners.

We use and disclose this information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of individuals under 16 years of age.

California residents may submit requests by emailing [email protected].

11. Do Not Track and Preference Signals

Some browsers provide a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is no single industry-standard response to these signals, our website may not respond to every Do Not Track request.

Where required by applicable law and supported by our systems, we may process recognized browser-based opt-out preference signals.

12. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to:

• Provide the Services
• Maintain subscription and suppression records
• Comply with legal obligations
• Resolve disputes
• Prevent fraud and abuse
• Enforce our agreements
• Maintain appropriate business records

Retention periods may vary based on the type of information, the reason it was collected, and applicable legal requirements.

13. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no website, email system, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You provide information and use the Services at your own risk.

14. Children’s Privacy

The Services are intended for a general audience and are not directed to children under 13 years of age.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact [email protected] so we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.

15. Third-Party Websites

The Services may contain links to retailers, advertisers, recipe sources, social-media platforms, and other third-party websites.

We do not control these third parties and are not responsible for their privacy, security, content, or business practices. You should review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing information to them.

16. International Visitors

Your Daily Fork is operated from the United States and is primarily intended for users located in the United States.

If you access the Services from another country, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries where our providers operate. Privacy laws in those countries may differ from those in your location.

17. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically.

When we make changes, we will revise the Effective Date at the top of the policy. We may also provide additional notice when required by law or when changes are material.

Your continued use of the Services after an updated policy becomes effective constitutes acknowledgment of the revised policy.
