Hey there, flavor fan! I’m Jules, the human behind Flavor Fiddler, and this is the not-so-spicy (but very important) part of the site: the privacy policy.

I know this isn’t as fun as whipping up a new sauce or experimenting with spices, but protecting your privacy matters. So here's everything you need to know — minus the confusing legal mumbo-jumbo.

1. What We Collect (and When)

When you visit FlavorFiddler.com, a few things may happen behind the scenes:

  • You sign up for the newsletter? I’ll have your email address so I can send you recipes, flavor experiments, or foodie finds you’ll (hopefully) love.
  • You leave a comment? You might share your name or email. I use it to respond, not to stalk you.
  • You browse the site? Tools like Google Analytics may gather anonymous data (like what you clicked on, how long you stayed, etc.) to help me improve your experience.

2. Cookies (The Digital Kind)

Yep, this site uses cookies — but not the chocolate chip kind. These are tiny text files that help remember what you liked, clicked, or searched. You can disable them anytime in your browser settings (and your experience will still be tasty).

3. Why I Collect This Stuff

Simple:

  • To send you great content (if you asked for it)
  • To understand what you enjoy on the site
  • To improve the flavor of your experience

I don’t sell your data, trade it, or use it to guess your favorite pizza toppings. That’s between you and your cravings.

4. Affiliate Links & Third-Party Tools

Flavor Fiddler participates in affiliate programs (like Amazon Associates), which means I may earn a small commission when you click and buy through a link — at no extra cost to you. Check out the full Affiliate Disclosure for the juicy details.

We also use tools like:

  • Google Analytics for traffic insight
  • Email services to send newsletters

These platforms may collect data on their own terms, but I only work with trusted providers who take privacy seriously.

5. Your Rights

You can:

  • Unsubscribe from emails at any time
  • Request access to or deletion of your personal info
  • Ask questions about how your data is used

Just email me at hello@flavorfiddler.com — no robot replies, promise.

6. Kids Under 13

This site isn’t intended for kids under 13, and I don’t knowingly collect data from them. If you think your child’s info is here by mistake, let me know and I’ll take care of it.

7. Updates

If I make changes to this policy, I’ll update this page. Nothing shady — just keeping things up to date as Flavor Fiddler grows.
