1. Introduction

Savoryza ("Savoryza," "we," "our," or "us") publishes recipes, kitchen guides, and newsletters. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard personal information when you visit savoryza.com, subscribe, contact us, or interact with our services.

2. Information We Collect

Contact form details (name, email, message), newsletter sign‑ups, comments/ratings, submissions (text and images), and attribution preferences. If account features launch, we may process saved favorites and profiles.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

IP address (or truncated IP), device/browser, referring pages, timestamps, page paths, and interaction metrics (e.g., recipe views, save/print events). We use cookies for essential functionality, analytics, and remembering preferences (see Cookie Policy).

2.3 Third‑Party Sources

If you follow links to newsletter tools, video embeds, or shopping/affiliate platforms, those services may receive limited metadata under their notices. We do not control third‑party practices.

3. How We Use Information

• Operate, maintain, and improve the Site and recipe library. • Respond to inquiries, manage submissions, and provide support. • Analyze usage to guide editorial priorities (e.g., seasonal trends). • Send newsletters and updates with your consent; opt out anytime. • Detect, prevent, and investigate fraud or security incidents. • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms.

4. Sharing and Disclosure

Service Providers

We use vendors for hosting, analytics, email, comment/rating systems, and support tools. Access is limited to service delivery under contractual safeguards.

Legal Compliance

We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, users, or the public.

Business Transfers

If we undergo a merger, acquisition, or reorganization, personal information may be transferred to a successor entity subject to this Policy.

Aggregate or Anonymized Data

We may share de‑identified insights (e.g., trend reports) that do not reasonably identify you.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described or required by law. Inactive records may be archived or anonymized.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may request access, correction, deletion, or portability of your data; object to or restrict certain processing; and withdraw consent for marketing. Contact privacy@savoryza.com.

7. Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures (e.g., TLS, access controls). No system is perfectly secure—share sensitive details with care.

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If a child provided data, email privacy@savoryza.com so we can delete it.
