Who this policy covers
This Privacy Policy applies to the website and online services operated by Aletia DuPree Homemade, LLC, referred to here as “Aletia DuPree,” “we,” “us,” or “our.” It covers recipe browsing, accounts, saved recipes, comments, communications, consent choices, and any advertising or analytics technology activated on this site.
Links to stores, social networks, television stations, publications, and other websites lead to services with their own privacy practices. This policy does not control those outside services.

How information is collected
- From you: when you subscribe to the newsletter, sign in, save a recipe, submit a comment or rating, contact us, or set privacy choices.
- From your browser or device: through essential logs, cookies, local storage, and similar technology.
- From service providers: including Supabase for community account authentication, hosting and security providers, and analytics or advertising providers you permit.
04
Why we use information
We use personal information to:
- deliver recipes, search, saved recipes, ratings, and moderated comments;
- authenticate accounts and protect the site from spam, abuse, and fraud;
- respond to questions, requests, and privacy inquiries;
- maintain and improve accessibility, reliability, and performance;
- understand audience interests when analytics permission is granted;
- provide and measure advertising when advertising permission is granted; and
- comply with law, enforce terms, and protect legal rights.

Advertising, Google AdSense, and Media.net
Media.net advertisements support our recipe pages. Ads load only after you allow advertising in the privacy controls. The initial launch enables ads for visitors identified as being in the United States; ads remain off elsewhere and when location cannot be determined. Google AdSense is not enabled.
Media.net and its advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to process IP addresses, browser and device details, advertising identifiers, general location, page context, ad impressions, and interactions for ad delivery, measurement, security, fraud prevention, and personalization when permitted.
Rejecting optional technology or sending Global Privacy Control keeps these ad requests off. You can withdraw permission in the footer privacy controls; a page reload stops the advertising code. Advertising outside the United States remains off pending the appropriate regional consent platform and vendor configuration.
Learn more from Google's explanation of data from partner sites, Google's advertising policy, and Media.net's Privacy Policy. You may also use the Media.net opt-out page.
Some U.S. laws may define targeted advertising disclosures as a “sale” or “sharing” even when no money is exchanged for personal information. Use “Privacy and cookie settings” in the site footer, Global Privacy Control, or the applicable provider control to opt out where those rights apply.
Cookbook orders
When you order a cookbook, we use your name, contact details, delivery address, and order information to process payment, fulfill your order, and provide order updates. WooCommerce supports our order records and fulfillment. Stripe securely processes card details; this website does not store your full card number or security code. Essential cart and payment-session cookies keep checkout working.
08
Retention
We keep information only as long as reasonably necessary for the stated purpose:
- saved recipes remain until you remove them or the related account data is deleted;
- comments and ratings remain while published or needed for moderation and recordkeeping;
- contact messages are kept while needed to respond and are ordinarily archived or deleted within 24 months;
- security and technical logs are generally retained for no longer than 12 months unless an incident requires longer preservation;
- privacy request records may be kept for up to 24 months to document compliance; and
- consent choices remain on your device until you change them or clear browser storage.
Information may be retained longer when required by law, necessary for a legal claim, or preserved in a limited backup cycle.
09
Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live and whether a particular law applies, you may have the right to know or access personal information, correct it, delete it, obtain a portable copy, restrict or object to processing, opt out of targeted advertising or certain disclosures, limit certain sensitive-data uses, withdraw consent, and receive equal service without discrimination for exercising a right.
You may use an authorized agent where permitted. We may need information reasonably necessary to verify a request. If we deny a request, you may reply with “Privacy Appeal” and explain why you believe the decision should be reconsidered. You may also contact the regulator or attorney general in your place of residence.
We do not offer a financial incentive for personal information. We do not knowingly sell or share personal information of anyone under 16 for targeted advertising.

Visitors in the EEA, United Kingdom, and Switzerland
Where applicable, we process information with your consent, to perform a service you request, to comply with legal obligations, or for legitimate interests such as site security, moderation, and basic operation when those interests are not overridden by your rights. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting earlier lawful processing. The footer link provides a direct way to reopen privacy and cookie settings.
Information may be processed in the United States or other countries. When required, appropriate transfer safeguards are used. You may complain to your local data protection authority.

Children's privacy
This general-audience site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from a child under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, contact us so it can be reviewed and deleted as appropriate.
12
Security and changes
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No online service can promise absolute security.
This policy may change as the site, vendors, or law changes. The effective date at the top will be updated, and material changes will receive additional notice when appropriate.
