Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 12, 2026

At A Grateful Kitchen (agratefulkitchen.com), operated by Amaya Gibson in Massachusetts, USA, I respect your privacy. This policy explains what information this site collects, how it’s used, and the choices you have.

Information I Collect

Information You Provide

  • Contact form submissions — if you email me or use a contact form, I see your name, email address, and message.
  • Comments — if you leave a comment, I see your name, email, and the comment content.

Information Automatically Collected

  • Cookies & analytics — like most websites, I (or service providers I use) may place cookies and collect anonymous usage data (such as pages visited, time on site, and general location) to understand how readers use the site and improve it.
  • Hosting logs — my web host may record standard server logs, including IP addresses, for security and performance.

How I Use Information

I use the information I collect to:

  • Respond to your questions and messages.
  • Improve the site’s content, usability, and performance.
  • Understand which recipes and topics my readers love.
  • Protect the site from abuse and maintain security.

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. I use them to remember your preferences, understand site traffic, and (where applicable) show relevant advertising. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some site features may not work as well. To learn more about cookies, visit allaboutcookies.org.

Third-Party Services

This site may use third-party services that collect information, including analytics providers, advertising partners, and social media platforms. These providers have their own privacy policies. I do not sell your personal information.

Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your location (including residents of Massachusetts and the EU/UK under GDPR), you may have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact me and I’ll respond within a reasonable timeframe.

Data Security

I take reasonable steps to protect the information collected on this site. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, but I work with reputable hosting and security services to keep data safe.

Children’s Privacy

This site is not directed to children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact me and I’ll delete it.

California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you may request to know what personal information is collected, request deletion, and opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. I don’t sell personal information. To make a request, contact me.

Changes to This Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When I do, I’ll revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Material changes will be noted prominently.
