Privacy Policy
Last Updated: October 24, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what personal data Ze Green Food (zegreenfood.com) collects when you visit the site, why we collect it, how long we keep it and what choices you have. We have tried to keep it specific: if a data practice is not described here, it is not something we do.
This policy applies only to this website. It does not cover information collected offline, or on other websites that you reach through links from our pages.
1. Your Consent
By using zegreenfood.com you agree to the practices described in this policy. Where the law requires your consent for particular cookies or similar technologies, for example for visitors in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom, we ask for it before those technologies are used (see section 4). You can withdraw consent at any time through your browser settings or by contacting us.
2. Information We Collect
Contact Form
If you write to us through the contact form, we receive your name, your email address and the text of your message. We use this information only to read and reply to your message.
Recipe Ratings and Comments
If you rate or comment on a recipe, we receive the name you enter and the text you submit. Your comment may be displayed publicly on the recipe page, so please do not include sensitive personal details such as your address, phone number or health information.
Server Log Files
Like most websites, our web server automatically records standard technical information when a page is requested:
- IP address
- Browser type
- Pages requested
We use this data for security and troubleshooting, for example to detect abusive traffic or to find out why a page failed to load.
Visit Statistics
We measure how the site is used with a first-party statistics system that runs on our own server. It records the page viewed and the referrer (the page or site that sent you to us). Raw visit records are kept for 7 days; after that, only daily totals remain. These totals show us which recipes are read most so we can improve the site; they are not used to build profiles of individual visitors.
3. How We Use Your Information
- To reply to messages sent through the contact form
- To publish the ratings and comments you submit
- To keep the site secure and to diagnose technical problems
- To understand which content is useful to readers, using aggregated visit statistics
- To meet our legal obligations
We do not sell your personal information.
5. Third-Party Services and Links
Cloudflare processes the traffic of our site as a service provider, and its own privacy policy applies to that processing.
We link to our Pinterest profile. If you follow that link, Pinterest's own privacy policy applies to anything you do on their platform. We do not control the data practices of external sites, and we suggest reading their policies before sharing personal information with them.
To manage how Google personalizes ads you see across the web, you can visit https://adssettings.google.com. Information about how Google uses data from sites that use its services is available at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
6. Data Retention
- Contact messages: kept only as long as needed to answer you and handle any follow-up, then deleted.
- Ratings and comments: kept for as long as the recipe page is published, unless you ask us to remove yours.
- Raw visit records: kept for 7 days, after which only daily totals remain.
- Server logs: kept for a limited period for security and troubleshooting, then deleted.
7. Your Rights Under the GDPR (EEA and UK)
If you are in the EEA or the UK, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Access – request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Rectification – ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Erasure – ask us to delete your personal data under certain conditions.
- Restriction – ask us to limit how we process your data under certain conditions.
- Objection – object to our processing of your data under certain conditions.
- Portability – ask for your data to be transferred to you or to another organization under certain conditions.
- Withdrawal of consent – withdraw any consent you have given, without affecting processing that took place before.
We respond to requests within one month. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. Our legal bases for processing are your consent (for example, when you submit a comment), our legitimate interest in running and securing the site, and compliance with legal obligations.
8. California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)
If you are a California resident, you have the right to:
- Know what categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you
- Request deletion of personal information we have collected from you
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information
- Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights
We do not sell personal information. We respond to verifiable requests within the time required by law. To make a request, use the contact page.
9. Children's Privacy
Our site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information through the contact form or a comment, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
10. Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access and alteration, including secure connections and the security services provided by Cloudflare. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy when our practices or the law change. The date at the top of the page shows when it was last revised. Please check back from time to time; continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
12. Contact Us
