Look, I Get It – Nobody Loves Reading Legal Stuff
But your privacy matters to me, so I’m going to explain exactly what information I collect, why I need it, and how I protect it. I’ve tried to write this in actual human language instead of legal-ese.
Information I Collect
When you visit Mocktaila.com:
- Basic website analytics (which pages you visit, how long you stay, general location like “Maine, USA”)
- Your device type (mobile, desktop) to make sure the site works well for you
When you email me at contact@mocktaila.com:
- Your email address and name (if you share it)
- Whatever you write in your message
- I keep these emails so I can respond helpfully and remember our conversation if you email again
If you subscribe to my newsletter (when I get that set up):
- Your email address
- Any preferences you share about mocktail types you’re most interested in
What I DON’T collect:
- I don’t track your personal browsing across other websites
- I don’t sell your information to anyone, ever
- I don’t collect sensitive personal information unless you specifically share it with me
How I Use Your Information
Website Analytics: To understand which recipes are most popular and make sure my content is helpful. If everyone’s searching for holiday mocktails, that tells me what to focus on next.
Email Communications: To respond to your questions, share recipe tips, and send occasional updates about new content (only if you ask for them).
Recipe Development: Sometimes your feedback and questions directly inspire new recipes or improvements to existing ones.
Data Protection & Security
I take protecting your information seriously:
- All data is stored securely with reputable service providers
- I only access your information when necessary to respond to you or improve the website
- I regularly update security measures and delete information I no longer need
Your Rights (GDPR/CCPA Compliant)
You have the right to:
- Access your data: Ask me what information I have about you
- Correct your data: Let me know if something needs updating
- Delete your data: Request that I remove your information
- Opt out of communications: Unsubscribe from emails anytime
To exercise any of these rights, just email me at contact@mocktaila.com with “Privacy Request” in the subject line.
Cookies & Tracking
I use basic cookies to:
- Remember your preferences on the website
- Understand which content is most helpful via Google Analytics
- Make sure the website functions properly
You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some website features might not work as smoothly.
Third-Party Services
Google Analytics: Helps me understand website traffic and popular content. Google has their own privacy policy for this service.
Email Service Provider: When I set up a newsletter, I’ll use a service like MailChimp or ConvertKit, and I’ll update this policy with specific details.
Social Media: If I link to Instagram, Pinterest, etc., those platforms have their own privacy policies.
Children’s Privacy
This website is designed for adults and I don’t knowingly collect information from children under 13. The mocktail recipes are family-friendly, but the website itself is intended for adult use.
Updates to This Policy
I’ll update this privacy policy if I add new features or change how I handle data. I’ll note the update date at the top and let regular readers know about significant changes.
Contact for Privacy Concerns
Questions about this privacy policy or your data? Email me directly at contact@mocktaila.com with “Privacy Question” in the subject line. I personally handle all privacy-related inquiries.
