Welcome to dishmum (the “Site”, “we”, “our”, or “us”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you visit https://dishmum.com or otherwise interact with our services, including our recipe database, comment sections, newsletters, and any other features offered on the Site.
By accessing or using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please discontinue use of the Site immediately.
We collect both personal data (information that can directly identify you) and non‑personal data (information that cannot be used on its own to identify you). The categories of data we collect include:
Cookies are small text files placed on your device to help us remember your preferences and improve your experience. We use both first‑party and third‑party cookies for the following purposes:
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time using the cookie consent banner that appears when you first visit the Site. Disabling non‑essential cookies may affect certain features, such as personalized recipe recommendations or comment functionality.
We employ Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the Site. Google Analytics collects information such as your IP address (anonymized in accordance with Google’s IP‑masking feature), browser type, device, operating system, referral source, and pages viewed.
The data is used solely for statistical analysis, to improve content relevance, and to optimize site performance. Google may use this information to provide its own analytics services to us. You can opt‑out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt‑Out Browser Add‑On or by configuring your browser to reject third‑party cookies.
If you sign up for our newsletter or other email communications, we will store your email address and any preferences you set (e.g., frequency of emails, topics of interest). We use a reputable third‑party email service provider to send messages, and that provider may process your data in accordance with its own privacy policy.
You may unsubscribe at any time using the “unsubscribe” link located at the bottom of each email. Unsubscribing will remove your email address from our mailing list, though we may retain a minimal record for compliance and audit purposes.
The Site integrates with several social platforms to enable sharing, login, and content embedding. These services may collect data about you when you interact with their features on our Site.
We do not control how these third parties use the data they receive, and you should review their privacy policies directly if you have concerns.
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Generally:
We partner with Ezoic to display and optimize advertisements on this website. Ezoic helps us deliver relevant ads while improving site performance and user experience.
Data Collected by Ezoic may include:
This information is used to personalize ads, measure ad performance, and improve overall user experience. Ezoic’s own privacy practices are detailed in its Privacy Policy.
You can manage your privacy preferences for Ezoic‑served ads through the cookie consent banner that appears on your first visit. Selecting “Reject non‑essential cookies” will limit the collection of advertising‑related data, though you may still see generic, non‑personalized ads.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable law.
We implement a variety of technical and organizational safeguards to protect your personal information, including:
While we strive to protect your data, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100 % secure. You acknowledge that you provide your information at your own risk.
Our servers and third‑party service providers may be located outside your country of residence, including in the United States and the European Union. By using the Site, you consent to the transfer of your information to these jurisdictions, which may have different data‑protection laws. We rely on standard contractual clauses and other lawful mechanisms to ensure an adequate level of protection for your data.
The Site is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently gathered such data, we will take steps to delete it promptly.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or technological advancements. When we make significant changes, we will post a notice at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify users via email.
