3. Third-Party Services

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to analyze traffic and user behavior on the Site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymized information, including the number of visitors, traffic sources, and pages viewed. This data helps us improve our content and user experience.

Google Analytics may transfer data to servers in the United States. For more information, see Google’s Privacy Policy.

MailerLite

We use MailerLite to manage our email newsletter and communications. When you subscribe to our mailing list, your email address (and optional name) is stored by MailerLite. MailerLite may track email opens, clicks, and engagement to help us improve our communications.

For more information, see MailerLite’s Privacy Policy.

Embedded Content

Some pages may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, social media posts) from third-party services. Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited that website directly and may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide and improve the Site’s content and functionality
  • Send email newsletters and meal plans you have opted into
  • Respond to your inquiries and messages

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share data with:

  • Service providers (Google Analytics, MailerLite, hosting providers) that help us operate the Site — these providers are bound by their own privacy policies

This Site is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

10. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information, including SSL encryption, secure hosting, and limited access to personal data. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
