The Simple Version (Then We’ll Get Into Details)
Look, we get it – nobody loves reading privacy policies. Here’s the bottom line: we collect only what we need to help you bake better bread, we never sell your information to anyone, and you can opt out of everything anytime you want.
Now, here are the legal details:
Information We Collect
Information You Give Us Directly:
- Email addresses when you subscribe to our newsletter or contact us

- Recipe feedback and photos when you share your baking results with us

- Location information (city/state) when relevant to altitude or climate baking adjustments
Information We Collect Automatically:
- Website usage data through Google Analytics (which pages you visit, how long you stay, what recipes you save)

- Device information (mobile vs desktop) to optimize your reading experience

How We Use Your Information
For Newsletter Subscribers: We send you weekly recipe roundups, seasonal baking guides, and troubleshooting tips. We use your engagement (which emails you open, which links you click) to send more relevant content.
For Recipe Development: When you share photos and feedback about our recipes, we use that information to improve instructions and develop new content that serves our community better.

Data Protection & Security
We use industry-standard security measures including SSL encryption for all data transmission and secure hosting through reputable providers. Your payment information (if applicable) is processed through secure, PCI-compliant systems – we never store credit card details on our servers.
However, no internet transmission is 100% secure. While we take reasonable precautions, we can’t guarantee absolute security of information transmitted online.

To exercise these rights, email us at contact@allflavs.com
We’ll respond within 30 days and verify your identity before processing requests. There’s no charge for reasonable requests.
