Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what information Epic Meal Recipes collects, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. Last updated: October 2026.

In short: we run a recipe website. We do not ask you to create an account, we do not sell your personal information for money, and the only data we collect directly is what you send through our contact form. Advertising and analytics are provided by third parties such as Google, and you control them through the consent and privacy choices message on this site.

1. Who we are

Epic Meal Recipes (https://epicmealrecipes.com) is a recipe website. For any privacy question or request, use our Contact Us page.

2. Information we collect

Information you give us

If you write to us through the contact form, we receive your name, email address, and the message you choose to send. We use it only to answer you and to fix mistakes you report.

Information collected automatically

Device and browser details, IP address, pages viewed, date and time, and the page that referred you. These appear in server logs and analytics reports.
Cookies and similar technologies, described in section 5.

Information we do not collect

You do not need an account to use this site, and we do not ask for payment details, government ID numbers, or other sensitive information. Please do not send them to us.

3. How we use information

To run, secure, and maintain the website.
To understand which pages are useful and to improve our recipes and content.
To answer messages and corrections you send us.
To show advertising that helps pay for the site.
To prevent spam, fraud, and abuse, and to meet legal obligations.

4. Legal bases (EEA, UK and Switzerland)

Where European or UK law applies, we rely on your consent for non-essential cookies and personalized advertising, on our legitimate interest in running and securing the site, and on your request when you contact us.

5. Cookies, advertising and analytics

This site is supported by advertising. Google and other advertising partners may use cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies to serve and measure ads, to limit how often you see an ad, and, where you allow it, to personalize ads based on your visits to this and other sites. Google uses advertising cookies to serve ads based on your visit to this site and other sites on the internet. We may also use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics through Google Site Kit, to understand traffic and page performance.

Consent message: visitors in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland see a consent message and can accept, decline, or manage their choices. Visitors in some US states see a privacy choices option. You can reopen these choices through the privacy and cookie settings link on the site when it is shown.
Google: learn how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and manage ad personalization at Google Ads Settings.
Opt out: you can opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies at aboutads.info, or at youronlinechoices.com in Europe.
Browser controls: you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some site features may work less well without them.

6. Sharing information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We share data only with service providers that help us run the site, such as hosting, security, analytics, and advertising providers, and when the law requires it. Some US state laws treat the use of advertising cookies as a sale, sharing, or targeted advertising, and you can opt out as described in section 9.

7. Retention and security

We keep contact messages only as long as needed to respond and to keep a record of corrections. Log and analytics data are kept for the periods set by our providers. We use reasonable technical measures to protect data, but no website can guarantee absolute security.

8. International transfers

Our providers may process data in countries other than yours, including the United States. Where required, transfers rely on safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or the providers’ certifications.

9. Your rights and choices

EEA, UK and Switzerland

You may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to the use of your personal data, to data portability, to withdraw consent at any time, and to complain to your local data protection authority.

California and other US states

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to know what personal information we collect and use, to access and delete it, to correct it, to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and of targeted advertising, to limit the use of sensitive information (we do not collect it), and not to be treated unfairly for using these rights. We do not knowingly sell the personal information of anyone under 16.

How to use your rights

Use the privacy choices option on this site, your browser settings, or our Contact Us page. We may need to confirm your identity and will respond within the time required by law, generally within 45 days (one month in the EEA and UK).

10. Children

This site is meant for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.

11. External links

Our pages may link to other websites, such as food safety guidance. We do not control them and are not responsible for their privacy practices, so please read their policies.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it last changed. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
