Budget Protein Kitchen (“we”, “us”, or “our”) operates this website. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have regarding that information.
This policy is written in plain language. We are not lawyers, and nothing here constitutes legal advice. If you have specific legal concerns, please consult a qualified professional.
What Information We Collect
Information You Provide Directly
If you leave a comment on this site, submit a contact form, or sign up for a newsletter or email list, we may collect:
- Your name or display name
- Your email address
- Any other information you choose to include in your message
We only collect information you voluntarily submit. You do not need to create an account to read this site.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, our server may automatically log basic technical information when you visit, including:
- Your IP address
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Pages visited and time spent
- Referring URL
This information is used to keep the site running and to understand general usage. It is not used to identify you personally.
Comments
If you leave a comment, we collect the information shown in the comment form — your name, email address, and website if provided — along with your IP address and browser information. This helps us identify and prevent spam.
Your email address is not displayed publicly with your comment. An anonymised version of your IP address may be shared with an anti-spam service.
If you choose to save your information in your browser, your name, email, and website will be remembered for future comments.
Contact Forms
If you reach out using a contact form, your message and the information you provide will be sent to our inbox. We use this only to respond to your inquiry. We do not add contact form submissions to mailing lists without your consent.
Email and Newsletter
We do not currently operate an email newsletter or mailing list. If we add one in the future, this policy will be updated to explain how subscriptions are managed and what service is used. You will always be able to unsubscribe.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. This site may use cookies for:
- Functionality: Remembering your comment preferences if you leave a comment
- Analytics: Understanding how visitors use the site, if an analytics service is active
- Advertising: Serving ads, if advertising is enabled
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some site functionality. We do not use cookies to collect personal information beyond what is described in this policy.
Analytics
We do not currently have an analytics service active on this site. If we add one in the future, such as Google Analytics, this policy will be updated to name the service and describe what data it collects. Analytics data is used to understand site usage and improve content — not to identify individual visitors.
Advertising
We do not currently run advertising on this site. If we add an advertising programme in the future, such as Google AdSense, this policy will be updated to describe how ads are served and what data those services may collect. Ad networks may use cookies to serve ads based on your browsing activity.
Affiliate Links
We do not currently have affiliate links active on this site. If we join affiliate programmes in the future, including the Amazon Associates Canada programme, this policy will be updated. Affiliate links will always be clearly disclosed, and any commission earned comes at no additional cost to you.
Embedded Content
Pages on this site may include embedded content from other websites, such as videos or social media posts. Embedded content behaves as if you had visited those sites directly. Those third-party sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with their content.
Data Retention
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are kept indefinitely so we can recognise and approve follow-up comments without holding them in a moderation queue.
If user registration is ever enabled, registered users can view, edit, or request deletion of their personal information at any time (except their username). Site administrators can also access and edit that information.
Your Rights
Depending on where you are located, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your information, where legally permissible
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
Canadian residents may have rights under applicable provincial privacy legislation. To exercise any of these rights, you can contact us through the Contact page once the contact form is available.
Third-Party Services
This site runs on WordPress. Depending on which plugins and services are active, third-party services may process data on our behalf. We will update this policy as services are added.
Children’s Privacy
This site is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the site grows and new services are added. The date at the top of this page reflects when the policy was last revised. Continued use of this site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
Contact
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how your information is handled, you can contact us through the Contact page once the contact form is available.
