Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 23, 2026

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data All Food Board (allfoodboard.com) collects when you visit the site, why we collect it, who it may be shared with, and what choices you have. We keep data collection to what a recipe website needs: answering your messages, publishing your comments and ratings, keeping the site secure, understanding which recipes are useful, and paying for the site through advertising.

If anything here is unclear, you can reach us through our contact page.

Information We Collect

Information you give us

• Contact form. If you write to us, we receive your name, email address and the message you type. We use this information only to reply to you.
• Ratings and comments. When you rate a recipe or leave a comment, we receive your name and the text you submit. Comments are published on the recipe page, so please do not include anything you would not want to be public, such as your email address, phone number or home address.

You do not need an account to read recipes, and we do not ask for payment details.

Information collected automatically

• Server logs. Like most websites, our web server records standard technical information: your IP address, your browser type and the pages requested. We use it for security and troubleshooting.
• First-party visit statistics. We keep simple statistics on our own server, such as which page was viewed and the referring site. Raw visit records are kept for 7 days and then reduced to daily totals.
• Cookies and similar technologies. These are set by the services described below (analytics, advertising and security).

How We Use Your Information

• To respond to messages sent through the contact form.
• To display your name and comment or rating on the recipe you submitted it for.
• To protect the site against abuse, spam and attacks, and to find and fix technical problems.
• To understand, in aggregate, which pages and recipes readers use so we can improve the site.
• To show advertising that helps fund the site.
• To meet our legal obligations.

Where the GDPR applies, our legal bases are your consent (for advertising cookies and personalized ads), our legitimate interests (security, troubleshooting, aggregated statistics) and, for answering your messages, taking steps at your request.

Cookies, Analytics and Advertising

The following third-party services may set cookies or process data when you use the site. Each has its own privacy policy.

Google AdSense

We show ads through Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads. Personalized ads are shown only with your consent. Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland see a Google consent message the first time they visit, where you can accept or decline. You can manage personalized advertising in your Google Ad Settings, and learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

HB Agency advertising partners

We also work with HB Agency, whose programmatic advertising partners may set cookies to deliver and measure ads. Please refer to their policies for details on how they handle data.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to collect aggregated statistics about how visitors use the site, such as pages viewed and approximate traffic sources. It uses cookies. We use these reports to see which content is helpful, not to identify individual visitors.

Cloudflare

We use Cloudflare for content delivery and security. It processes requests to our site, such as your IP address, in order to deliver pages and filter malicious traffic, and may set technical cookies needed for those functions.

Controlling cookies

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the site work. Blocking advertising cookies does not remove ads; it only limits personalization.

Social Media Links

The site links to our profiles on Pinterest, Facebook, YouTube and X (Twitter). Following those links takes you to third-party services, which collect data under their own privacy policies. We do not control how they handle your information.

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information in exchange for money. Data may be shared in these situations:

• With the service providers listed above (Google, HB Agency and its advertising partners, Cloudflare), to the extent needed for advertising, analytics, delivery and security.
• Publicly, for the name and text you choose to post in a comment.
• When required by law, or to protect our rights, our visitors or the security of the site.

Messages sent through the contact form are not shared with advertisers.

Data Retention

• First-party raw visit records: kept for 7 days, then only daily totals remain.
• Contact messages: kept for as long as needed to answer you and handle any follow-up, then deleted.
• Comments and ratings: kept for as long as the recipe page is published, unless you ask us to remove them.
• Server logs: kept only as long as needed for security and troubleshooting.
• Third-party cookies and data: retained according to the respective provider's policy.

Your Rights Under the GDPR (EEA, UK and Switzerland)

If you are in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, you have the right to:

• access the personal data we hold about you and receive a copy;
• have inaccurate data corrected;
• have your data erased, where the law allows;
• restrict or object to certain processing;
• receive your data in a portable format, where applicable;
• withdraw consent at any time, without affecting processing that took place before withdrawal;
• lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

To exercise these rights, contact us through the contact page. We may need to confirm your identity before acting on a request.

California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to:

• know what personal information we collect, use and disclose;
• request access to or deletion of your personal information;
• request correction of inaccurate personal information;
• opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising;
• not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

Advertising cookies from our advertising partners may count as "sharing" under California law. You can limit this by adjusting your cookie settings in your browser and using the Google opt-out tools linked above. To make a request, use our contact page. You may also use an authorized agent, and we may ask for information to verify the request.

Children's Privacy

The site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 where local law sets a higher age). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

Security

We use reasonable technical measures to protect the data we hold, including the security services provided through Cloudflare. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please avoid sending sensitive information through the contact form or in comments.

International Data Transfers

Some of the providers named above may process data in countries outside your own, including the United States. Where required, they rely on legal safeguards for such transfers, as described in their own policies.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our practices or the services we use change. The "Last updated" date at the top shows when the current version took effect. We encourage you to review the page from time to time.
