Your privacy matters to us — please read this policy carefully.

We use collected information to operate and improve the Site, deliver content, communicate with you, and comply with legal obligations.
You have rights over your personal data (access, correction, deletion, portability, and in some regions the right to opt out of sale or targeted advertising).
For questions or to exercise your rights, contact us at: [your-email@subhmantar.com].

4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to provide, secure, and personalize our services, analyze usage, and support advertising.

Essential cookies: required for basic site functions.
Performance/analytics cookies: to understand how visitors use the Site.
Functional cookies: remember choices you make (language, region).
Advertising/targeting cookies: used by advertising partners to deliver relevant ads.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may limit your ability to use certain features of the Site.

5. Third-Party Services and Links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, services, and embedded content (such as social media, videos, maps, or advertising networks). Those third parties have their own privacy policies and practices — we are not responsible for their content or practices. Examples of third parties that may be used include analytics providers, advertising networks, social platforms, and payment processors.

6. Advertising & Affiliate Links

We may display ads and participate in affiliate programs. Ads may use cookies and other technologies to present ads tailored to your interests. Affiliate links enable us to earn a commission if you purchase through those links. If you prefer not to receive targeted advertising, see the section below on your choices and rights.

7. Comments, Community, and User Submissions

Any information you post publicly (comments, recipe submissions, profile information, photos) becomes public and can be seen, collected, and used by others. We may display or reuse user-submitted content on the Site and social channels. If you want content removed, contact us — we’ll evaluate the request and act where feasible.

8. Children’s Privacy

The Site is not intended for children under 16 (or under 13 where local law requires). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If a parent or guardian believes we have collected their child’s information, please contact us to request removal.

9. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We may share personal information as follows:

Service providers: vendors who provide services (hosting, analytics, email delivery, payment processing).
Business transfers: if the Site is sold or merged, data may be transferred as part of that transaction.
Legal reasons: to comply with laws, respond to legal process, or to protect rights and safety.
With your consent: when you authorize sharing.

10. International Transfers

The Site may be hosted and operated in different countries. If we transfer personal data internationally, we will take steps required by applicable law to protect that information (for example, standard contractual clauses or other safeguards).

11. Data Retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods vary depending on the type of data and the purpose of processing.

12. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data. However no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure — we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights including:

Access to the personal data we hold about you.
Correction or updating of inaccurate data.
Deletion of your personal data (subject to legal exceptions).
