Privacy Policy

Tasty Trails ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website and services.

By using Tasty Trails, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our services.

We may collect the following types of information:

• Usage data: Pages you visit, time spent on the site, links clicked, and similar usage information collected through analytics.
• Device information: Browser type, operating system, device type, and general location (e.g., country or region) derived from your IP address.
• Local storage: If you save recipes, we store your saved recipe IDs in your browser’s local storage so your preferences persist across visits. This data stays on your device and is not sent to our servers.
• Account information: If you sign in (for example, as an administrator), we collect the email and other account details you provide to our authentication provider.
• Cookies and similar technologies: We use cookies and similar technologies for analytics, preferences, and to improve site functionality.

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain our recipe and content services
• Understand how you use our site so we can improve it
• Remember your saved recipes and preferences (via local storage)
• Detect, prevent, and address technical issues or abuse
• Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights

We use third-party services that may collect or process your information:

• Supabase: We use Supabase for hosting our database, serving recipe and category data, and for authentication. Supabase processes data in accordance with their privacy policy.
• PostHog: We use PostHog for analytics, including page views and session replay, to improve our product. PostHog may collect usage and device information. You can learn more at posthog.com/privacy.
• Other tools: We may use additional tools for development, hosting, or support. Their use of data is governed by their respective privacy policies.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share information only as needed to operate our services, comply with the law, or with your consent.

We use cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage) to remember your preferences, analyze traffic, and improve the site. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect how some features work.

Our "saved recipes" feature uses your browser’s local storage. This data is stored only on your device and is not transmitted to our servers except as part of normal page loads when we need to display your saved items.

We retain your information only as long as necessary to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Analytics data is typically retained according to our analytics provider’s retention settings. Data in your browser’s local storage remains until you clear it or until the storage is cleared by your browser.

We take reasonable measures to protect your information, including using HTTPS and working with service providers that implement appropriate security practices. No method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

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

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction or deletion of your personal information
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Data portability
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
