Look, we get it – nobody loves reading privacy policies. But we respect your privacy as much as we respect good pie crust, so we’re going to explain exactly what we do with your information in plain English.
Information We Collect
Information You Give Us Directly
- Email Address: When you sign up for our newsletter, comment on recipes, or contact us
- Name: If you choose to share it in comments or emails
- Recipe Reviews: Your ratings, photos, and modifications you share
- Contact Messages: Questions about recipes, technique help, or general inquiries
Information We Collect Automatically
- Website Usage: Which recipes you view, how long you stay, what you search for
- Device Information: Browser type, device type, IP address (but we can’t identify you from this)
- Cookies: Small files that remember your preferences like “show me savory pies first”
How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Send you recipes: Weekly newsletter with new pies, seasonal favorites, and reader questions
- Improve our content: Understanding which recipes you love helps us create similar ones
- Respond to you: Answer your recipe questions and troubleshooting emails personally
- Remember your preferences: Show you content relevant to your interests (sweet vs. savory, beginner vs. advanced)
- Keep the website working: Technical stuff like preventing spam and fixing broken features
What we DON’T do: We never sell your email address, we don’t spam you with irrelevant promotions, and we don’t share your personal stories without permission.
Data Protection & Security
We protect your information using industry-standard security measures including SSL encryption for all data transmission, secure servers with regular security updates, and limited access to personal information (only team members who need it for their specific roles).
We store your information only as long as necessary to provide our services and comply with legal requirements. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe, contact information until resolved, and website analytics data for 24 months maximum.
Your Rights (GDPR/CCPA Compliant)
You have the right to:
- Access: Request a copy of all information we have about you
- Correct: Update incorrect information in our records
- Delete: Ask us to delete your information entirely
- Object: Opt out of specific uses of your information
- Portability: Receive your data in a format you can use elsewhere
- Unsubscribe: Stop receiving emails immediately (link in every newsletter)
To exercise these rights, email us at privacy@dishori.com. We’ll respond within 72 hours because honestly, if we can respond to recipe emergencies that fast, we can handle privacy requests too.
Cookies & Tracking
We use cookies to make your experience better – things like remembering if you prefer metric measurements, keeping track of recipes you’ve bookmarked, and showing you content similar to what you’ve enjoyed before.
Essential Cookies: Required for basic website function (login, shopping cart, preferences) Analytics Cookies: Google Analytics helps us understand which recipes are most popular (anonymized data only) Preference Cookies: Remember your settings like measurement units and dietary restrictions
You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some website features might not work as smoothly.
Third-Party Services
We work with trusted partners who help us serve you better:
- Mailchimp: Newsletter delivery and management
- Google Analytics: Website traffic and usage analysis (anonymized)
- Cloudflare: Website security and performance
- Social Media Platforms: If you choose to interact with our social content
These partners have their own privacy policies and security standards. We only work with companies that meet our standards for data protection.
Children’s Privacy
Our website is designed for adults (18+). We don’t knowingly collect information from children under 13. If a parent discovers their child has provided personal information to us, please contact us immediately at privacy@dishori.com and we’ll delete it promptly.
Changes to This Policy
If we update this privacy policy, we’ll email our newsletter subscribers and post the changes prominently on our website. Major changes get 30 days notice – minor clarifications get immediate updates with notification.
