Privacy Policy
Plain-English version: we collect as little as we can, we don't sell your data, and you can leave any time. The details are below.
This Privacy Policy explains how Budget Plates ("we," "us") handles information when you visit our website or subscribe to our newsletter. This is placeholder content for a demonstration site and is not legal advice.
What we collect
- Information you give us. Your email address when you subscribe, and anything you include in a contact form or price correction.
- Usage information. Basic, aggregated analytics, pages viewed, rough location by country, and device type, so we know which recipes are useful.
- Cookies. Small files that keep the site working and help us measure traffic. You can turn these off in your browser.
How we use it
- To send the newsletter you asked for, and nothing else without asking.
- To reply to your messages and correct prices readers flag.
- To understand which recipes and guides to make more of.
- To keep the site secure and running.
What we don't do
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your email with advertisers. We only pass data to service providers who help us run the site (for example, our email and analytics tools), and only what they need to do that job.
Affiliate disclosure
Some recipe pages include a short "Helpful tools for this recipe" section that links to kitchen equipment on Amazon. As an Amazon Associate, Budget Plates may earn from qualifying purchases. These links never change what you pay, and we only link tools that genuinely help with the recipe. We never put affiliate links on ingredients.
Your choices
- Unsubscribe from any email using the link at the bottom of it.
- Ask us what we hold about you, or to delete it, by emailing privacy@budgetplates.com.
- Block or clear cookies in your browser settings at any time.
Children
Budget Plates is meant for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect information from them.
Changes to this policy
If we update this policy, we'll change the date at the top of the page. Significant changes will be noted in the newsletter.
