CozyFlavorHome (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a food‑blogging and recipe‑sharing website operating from the United Kingdom. We are committed to safeguarding your personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK Data Protection Act 2018. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and your rights under GDPR.
The only personal data we collect directly from visitors to cozyflavorhome.com is the email address you provide when you subscribe to our newsletter or register for a user account. In addition, we automatically collect the following data through standard web technologies:
Our processing activities are based on two lawful bases:
SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.3, ensuring that your personal information is protected against interception.
Secure Servers: Our hosting environment is hardened, monitored 24/7, and regularly audited by third‑party security firms. Access to personal data is limited to essential staff who require it to perform their duties.
Limited Retention: We retain email addresses for the duration of your subscription or account activity, and we delete them automatically after 12 months of inactivity. Analytics data is retained for 6 months, in line with Google Analytics’ retention settings, after which it is anonymised.
You have the right to request a copy of any personal data we hold about you. This includes the email addresses we store, the cookies set on your browser, and any analytics data that can be linked to you. We will provide this information in a commonly used, machine‑readable format within 30 days of your request.
If you find that any of your personal data is incorrect or incomplete, you may ask us to correct it. For example, if you typed an incorrect email address during subscription, we will update it promptly.
You can request the deletion of your personal data, including your email address and any associated account data. If you are not a subscriber or registered user, we can delete the cookies and analytics data that can be directly linked to you, subject to legitimate interest and legal obligations.
You may request that we restrict the processing of your personal data. For instance, if you contest the accuracy of a data point, we can suspend its use while we verify its correctness. This restriction will be applied until the issue is resolved.
You can receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine‑readable format (e.g., JSON or CSV) and have the right to transmit that data to another controller, where technically feasible. We will provide the data within 30 days of your request.
You may object to the processing of your data for direct marketing purposes or for profiling. If you exercise this right, we will cease to use your data for these purposes immediately, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
If you gave consent for us to send newsletters or store your email, you can withdraw that consent at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email or contacting us at [email protected]. We will remove your email from our marketing lists within 30 days of your withdrawal.
To exercise any of the rights above, please send a written request to [email protected]. In your email, include the following details to help us identify your data quickly:
We will acknowledge receipt of your request within 5 working days and respond within 30 days, as required by GDPR. If we need additional information to verify your identity, we will contact you to obtain it. Once your request is processed, we will confirm the action taken via email.
All personal data is stored on encrypted servers located in the UK. We employ role‑based access controls, two‑factor authentication for administrative accounts, and regular penetration testing. Personal data is retained only for as long as it is necessary to achieve the purposes for which it was collected. After the retention period, data is securely erased or anonymised.
If you have any questions, concerns, or wish to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, please contact us at:
