Welcome to dietareas.com (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Site”). We are operated by Emily Turner. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, process, and disclose your information when you access or use our website, https://dietareas.com, and the choices and rights you have.
What Information We Collect
We collect information in two main ways: information you voluntarily provide and information we collect automatically.
1. Information You Voluntarily Provide
- Comments: When you leave a comment on our Site, we collect the data shown in the comments form (such as your name, email address, and website, if provided), as well as your IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
- Newsletter Subscription: If you choose to subscribe to our email newsletter, we collect your name and email address. We use this information to send you recipes, content updates, and other communications you have opted-in to receive.
- Contact Form: When you contact us via our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and any information you provide in your message so that we can respond to your inquiry.
2. Information Collected Automatically
- Log Data & Analytics: Like most websites, we automatically collect certain information when you visit. This “Log Data” may include your IP address, approximate location (city or state level, based on your IP address), browser type, device type, operating system, the pages you visited on our Site, the referring website, the time and date of your visit, and other statistics. We use this data to analyze site performance and improve user experience.
- Cookies and Similar Technologies: We and our partners use cookies (small files stored on your device), pixels, and similar technologies. They help us remember your preferences, understand how you interact with our Site, and serve and measure advertising, including interest-based advertising. Some cookies are set by us (first-party) and others by our analytics and advertising partners (third-party). You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies, though some parts of our Site may not function properly if you do.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To operate, maintain, and improve our Site.
- To personalize your experience and deliver content relevant to your interests.
- To show advertising, including interest-based advertising, which helps keep our content free.
- To send you our newsletter and other updates, only if you have affirmatively subscribed.
- To respond to your comments and inquiries.
- To monitor and analyze usage and trends to improve the Site’s functionality.
- To protect the Site and prevent spam, fraud, or other illegal activities.
Advertising (Journey by Mediavine)
We use Journey by Mediavine (“Mediavine”) to manage the third-party advertising on the Site. Mediavine and its advertising partners may use first- and third-party cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites. They use this information to show you ads that may interest you (interest-based advertising), limit how often you see the same ad, prevent ad fraud, and measure how ads perform.
Information collected for advertising may include your IP address, approximate location, device and browser type, operating system, pages viewed, referring URLs, cookie and advertising identifiers, and, if you provide your email address to a Mediavine product such as Grow (described below), a hashed (pseudonymized) version of your email address.
Grow by Mediavine: The Site uses Grow, a tool that lets you save recipes and bookmark content. If you choose to create a Grow account, Grow collects the email address you provide.
To learn more about how Mediavine handles data, please see the Mediavine Privacy Policy.
Sharing Your Information & Third Parties
We do not sell your personal information for money, and we do not rent or trade your contact details. However, allowing advertising partners to collect information through cookies on our Site for interest-based advertising may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information, or “targeted advertising,” under some U.S. state privacy laws. You can opt out of this as described in “Your Privacy Choices” below.
We may share your information with the following:
- Analytics: We use Google Analytics to track and analyze website traffic. Google Analytics may capture your IP address. You can learn more about Google’s practices here and opt-out by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Microsoft Clarity: We partner with Microsoft Clarity and Microsoft Advertising to capture how you use and interact with our website through behavioral metrics, heatmaps, and session replay to improve and market our products/services. Website usage data is captured using first and third-party cookies and other tracking technologies to determine the popularity of products/services and online activity. Additionally, we use this information for site optimization, fraud/security purposes, and advertising. For more information about how Microsoft collects and uses your data, visit the Microsoft Privacy Statement.
- Advertising: Mediavine and its advertising partners, as described in the “Advertising (Journey by Mediavine)” section above.
- Service Providers: Companies that help us operate the Site, such as our hosting provider and email newsletter service.
- Affiliate Programs: This Site participates in affiliate marketing. If you click on an affiliate link (as disclosed in our policies), a cookie will be placed on your browser to track the sale for commission purposes.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to a valid legal request (e.g., a court order or subpoena).
Your Privacy Choices
- Privacy settings on the Site: Depending on where you are located, you may see a consent message or a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link at the bottom of our pages. Use it to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information and of targeted advertising, or to change your consent choices.
- Global Privacy Control (GPC): If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information and of targeted advertising for that browser, where required by law.
- Industry opt-outs: You can opt out of interest-based ads from participating companies through the Network Advertising Initiative, the Digital Advertising Alliance, or, in Europe, Your Online Choices.
- Cookie Control: You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings, and reset or limit your advertising ID in your mobile device settings.
Opting out does not stop ads from appearing. It means the ads you see will be less tailored to your interests.
Your Data Rights
You have certain rights regarding your personal information:
- Opt-Out: You may opt-out of our email newsletter at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of every email.
- Access, Amend, or Delete: You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data that we hold by contacting us. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe.
- Advertising Opt-Out: You may opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information and of targeted advertising, as described in “Your Privacy Choices” above.
U.S. State Privacy Rights
If you live in California or another U.S. state with a comprehensive privacy law (such as Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, or Oregon), you may have the right to:
- Know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose, and get a copy of it.
- Correct inaccurate personal information.
- Delete personal information we collected from you.
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, targeted advertising, and certain profiling.
- Not be discriminated against for exercising your rights.
- Appeal our decision if we deny your request.
In the past 12 months, we have collected these categories of personal information: identifiers (such as name, email address, IP address, and cookie or advertising IDs); internet or other electronic network activity (such as pages viewed and interactions with the Site and ads); approximate geolocation; and inferences about your interests used for advertising. We collect this information from you, from your browser or device, and from our analytics and advertising partners, for the purposes described above. We disclose it to service providers and to advertising partners as described in this policy. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes that require a right to limit, and we do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16.
To make a request, email us at [email protected]. We will verify your request using the information you provide and respond within 45 days (or as otherwise required by law). You may use an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. If we deny your request, you can appeal by replying to our decision with the word “Appeal.”
Visitors in the EU, EEA, and UK
If you are in the European Union, European Economic Area, or United Kingdom, we (and our partners) process your personal data based on your consent (for non-essential cookies, analytics, and personalized advertising, collected through the consent message on our Site), our legitimate interests (such as keeping the Site secure and preventing spam), or to provide services you request (such as our newsletter). You have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to the processing of your data, to data portability, and to withdraw your consent at any time through the privacy settings link on our Site. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
A Note on Sensitive Personal Information
This Site is focused on health and wellness. We do not ask for, and do not intend to collect, health or medical information. Please do not submit sensitive personal health information (such as specific medical diagnoses) in the public comments section or in messages to us. Any information you post in a comment becomes public and is not protected.
Data Retention
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy: newsletter data until you unsubscribe, comments for as long as they remain published, and messages for as long as needed to respond and keep reasonable records. Analytics and advertising partners keep data according to their own retention policies.
Children’s Privacy (COPPA)
Our Site is not directed to, and we do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from, children under the age of thirteen (13). If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our servers.
International Data Transfers
Your information, including personal data, may be transferred to—and maintained on—computers located outside of your state, province, or country, including the United States, where the data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction. Where required, we and our partners rely on appropriate safeguards for these transfers.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the “Last Updated” date at the top. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
