Privacy Policy

Heart & Home Kitchen (heartandhomekitchen.com) is a personal food blog run by Danella. This page explains what information we collect from visitors, how it's used, and the choices you have. If you have questions, you can reach us at hello@heartandhomekitchen.com.

Information we collect

We collect information in a few limited ways:

• Email address, if you sign up for our recipe newsletter. This is sent to and stored by Kit (our email newsletter provider), not on our own servers.
• Standard server logs, collected automatically by our hosting provider (Vercel) — things like IP address, browser type, and pages visited. This is standard for any website and isn't linked to your identity by us.
• Cookies from third-party services we use or plan to use, such as advertising partners (e.g. Google AdSense) and affiliate programs (e.g. Amazon Associates), if and when those are active on the site. These third parties may use cookies to serve relevant ads or track affiliate referrals under their own privacy policies.

How we use your information

• To send you recipes and updates you've signed up to receive, and nothing else.
• To understand overall site traffic and improve the site.
• To respond if you contact us directly.

We do not sell your personal information to anyone.

Third-party services

This site relies on a small number of outside services to operate:

• Vercel — hosting
• Turso — database
• Kit — email newsletter delivery
• Google AdSense and/or Amazon Associates — where advertising or affiliate links appear on the site, these programs may set their own cookies. See our affiliate disclosure for more.

Each of these providers has its own privacy policy governing how they handle data.

Your choices

Every newsletter email includes an unsubscribe link. If you'd like your email address removed from our list entirely, or have any other question about your data, email us at hello@heartandhomekitchen.com.

Children's privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this page as the site grows — for example, if we add new advertising partners. Significant changes will be reflected here with an updated date at the top.
