Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 28, 2026

Welcome to DishFry

At DishFry (“we,” “our,” or “us”), available at https://dishfry.com, protecting your personal privacy is one of our top priorities. This Privacy Policy clearly outlines how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you visit, browse, or interact with our website.

By using DishFry, you agree to the data practices and terms described in this policy. If you do not agree with these practices, please refrain from using our website.

Information We Collect

We collect information in two main ways when you visit our website: information you provide voluntarily and information collected automatically.

1. Information You Provide Voluntarily

We collect personal information that you intentionally provide to us while using our site, which may include:

  • Name & Contact Details: When you reach out through our Contact Form or email us directly.
  • Comments: Name, email address, and message content left under our recipe posts.
  • Newsletter Subscriptions: Your email address (and optionally first name) if you opt-in to receive our recipes, updates, or cooking tips.

2. Information Collected Automatically

Like most modern websites, DishFry automatically logs non-personal, technical data about your visit through server logs, cookies, and tracking scripts:

  • Device & Connection Data: IP address, browser type, operating system, and hardware model.
  • Usage Details: Pages viewed, referring URLs, date and time stamps, bounce rates, and time spent reading individual recipes.
  • Approximate Location: Derived from your anonymized IP address (city/country level).

How We Use Your Information

We use the data we collect for transparent, legitimate business purposes designed to improve your browsing experience:

  • Website Improvement: Analyzing reader behavior to optimize page speed, layout, and recipe navigation.
  • Content Optimization: Understanding which recipe categories (e.g., breakfast, air-fryer, desserts) readers love most so we can publish better culinary content.
  • Communication: Responding directly to your kitchen questions, feedback, or business inquiries.
  • Spam & Security Monitoring: Preventing malicious bot traffic, comment spam, and cyber threats.
  • Legal Compliance: Fulfilling applicable legal, tax, and regulatory obligations.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

DishFry uses cookies (small text files saved on your browser) and similar tracking technologies to enhance site functionality and measure performance.

How We Use Cookies:

  • Essential Cookies: Required for basic navigation, security, and site functionality.
  • Preference Cookies: Remembering your settings (such as print preferences on recipe cards).
  • Analytics Cookies: Helping us understand how visitors move around the site.
  • Advertising Cookies: Used by ad networks to deliver relevant advertisements based on your interests.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can control or disable cookies at any time through your web browser’s settings menu. Please note that disabling essential cookies may impact certain site features (such as recipe printing or commenting).

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to gather anonymized insights into how visitors navigate DishFry. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit, what pages they view, and what other sites brought them here.

Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit the site, rather than your name or identifying details. We do not combine information collected through Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising

To help keep our recipes free for everyone, DishFry may partner with third-party advertising networks, such as Google AdSense, to display ads when you visit our site.

  • Google uses cookies (including the DART cookie) to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to DishFry and other websites on the internet.
  • These ad networks may collect non-personally identifiable information about your visits to serve customized ads that match your interests.
  • You can learn more about how Google uses data in advertising or opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings.

Affiliate Links Disclosure

Some pages on DishFry contain affiliate links to kitchen tools, ingredients, or baking equipment (for example, via the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program or other culinary affiliate platforms).

If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, DishFry may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. We only recommend products we personally use, test, or genuinely believe will add value to your kitchen. Pages containing affiliate links will always feature a clear disclosure statement.

Embedded Content from External Websites

Articles on DishFry may include embedded content (such as YouTube videos, Pinterest Pins, or social media posts). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the external website directly.

These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content—especially if you have an account and are logged into that third-party website.

Data Security Measures

We take the security of your data seriously and implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards:

  • 🔒 SSL/TLS Encryption: All traffic between your browser and DishFry is protected via HTTPS encryption.
  • 🛡️ Secure Infrastructure: Hosted on secure, monitored servers with active firewall protections.
  • 🚫 Restricted Access: Personal data from contact forms or newsletter lists is accessible only to authorized personnel.

Please note: While we follow industry standards to safeguard your data, no internet transmission or electronic storage method is 100% secure.

Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)

DishFry is designed for general audiences interested in home cooking and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has submitted personal information to us, please contact us immediately, and we will promptly delete it from our records.

Your Privacy Rights (GDPR / CCPA / CPRA)

Depending on your geographic location (such as the European Economic Area or California), you may have specific statutory rights regarding your personal data:

  • Right to Access: You can request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
  • Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”): You can request that we delete your personal data.
  • Right to Rectification: You can request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information.
  • Right to Opt-Out of Sale / Sharing: DishFry does not sell personal information in the traditional sense. However, if third-party ad network activity is classified as a “sale” under laws like CCPA, you retain the right to opt out.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at privacy@dishfry.com.

Data Retention Policy

We retain personal information (such as contact messages or newsletter subscription data) only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, resolve disputes, enforce legal agreements, or as required by applicable laws. Unsubscribed email addresses are removed or anonymized promptly.

External Links Policy

DishFry contains links to external websites (such as food blogs, equipment manufacturers, or reference sites). We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices, cookie policies, or content of external third-party websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit.

Updates to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in site practices, technological advancements, or legal regulations. When updates occur, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage visitors to review this page periodically to stay informed.
