Welcome to FoodNarrative. We value your privacy as much as we value the stories behind the meals we share—with intention, respect, and care. This policy explains how we handle your personal information with the same mindfulness we bring to the recipes and memories we curate.
Information We Collect
Personal Information
When you subscribe to our newsletter, share a story in the comments, or reach out with a question or memory of your own, we collect basic details like your name and email address. We gather only what’s needed to welcome you into the FoodNarrative community—nothing more.
Site Usage Information
We automatically collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and which stories and recipes you spend time with. This helps us understand what resonates with you, much like noticing which family tales are retold most often at the table.
Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies to improve your experience on our site, much like revisiting a favorite recipe brings comfort. You can manage cookie preferences in your browser settings, though disabling them may affect site functionality and personalization.
Third-Party Services
We use services such as Google Analytics to better understand our readers and improve the stories we share. These services have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.
