In Short: If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom (UK), we process your personal information only when we have an appropriate legal basis under applicable data protection law.

For Visitors in the EEA and UK

The GDPR and UK GDPR require us to explain the legal bases we rely on when processing personal information. Depending on how you interact with KitchenWink and the applicable circumstances, we may rely on the following legal bases:

• Consent. We may process your personal information when you have given us your consent for a specific purpose. You may withdraw your consent at any time, subject to applicable law.
• Legitimate Interests. We may process your personal information when it is reasonably necessary for our legitimate interests, such as operating, maintaining, securing, and improving our Website, understanding how visitors use our content, preventing abuse, or managing our business, provided that those interests are not overridden by your privacy rights.
• Legal Obligations. We may process your personal information when necessary to comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or lawful requests from authorities.
• Contractual Necessity. Where applicable, we may process your personal information when it is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you.

If you are located in Canada, this section applies to you.

If you are located in Canada, applicable Canadian privacy laws may give you certain rights and protections regarding your personal information.

We may process your personal information with your consent when consent is required by applicable law. Depending on the circumstances and applicable Canadian privacy laws, we may also collect, use, or disclose personal information without consent when legally permitted or required, such as when necessary to comply with legal obligations, prevent fraud or misuse, protect our rights and security, or complete certain business transactions.

Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw your consent subject to applicable law and any legal or contractual restrictions.

We may also use or disclose information that has been de-identified or aggregated where permitted by applicable law.

4. WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

In Short: We may share personal information with service providers and other third parties when reasonably necessary to operate, maintain, secure, analyze, or support KitchenWink, or when required or permitted by applicable law.

Depending on how you interact with our Website, we may share information with the following categories of recipients:

• Service Providers. We may share information with companies that provide services on our behalf, such as website hosting, security, analytics, email/newsletter delivery, technical support, and other services necessary to operate our Website. These providers may process information only as necessary to provide their services and as permitted by applicable law.
• Analytics Providers. We may share or allow certain information to be collected by analytics providers, such as Google Analytics, to help us understand website traffic, usage patterns, and content performance.
• Advertising Partners. Where applicable, advertising partners and their service providers may collect or receive certain information through cookies, pixels, tags, or similar technologies to provide, measure, personalize, or otherwise support advertising. The use of such technologies is subject to applicable privacy laws and your available privacy choices.
• Affiliate and Business Partners. Where applicable, we may work with affiliate or business partners when you interact with product links, recommendations, or other commercial content. We do not share personal information with these partners merely because you view our content unless such sharing is part of the relevant service or technology and is disclosed as required by applicable law.
• Legal and Safety Purposes. We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, legal process, or lawful requests, or to protect the rights, safety, security, or property of KitchenWink, our users, or others.
• Business Transactions. If KitchenWink is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.

We do not sell personal information for money simply because you visit KitchenWink. However, certain advertising or tracking activities may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under applicable U.S. state privacy laws, even when no money is exchanged. Where applicable, we provide the privacy choices and opt-out mechanisms required by law.

5. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND SERVICES

In Short: KitchenWink may contain links to websites, services, products, or platforms operated by third parties.

Our Website may include links to third-party websites, services, or platforms, including product retailers, manufacturers, affiliate partners, social media platforms, and other external websites.

If you follow a third-party link or interact with a third-party service, your activity may be governed by that third party’s privacy policy and terms rather than this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review the privacy practices of any third-party website or service before providing personal information.

KitchenWink does not control the privacy practices or security of third-party websites or services. Their collection and use of information are governed by their own policies and practices.

The presence of a third-party link does not necessarily mean that KitchenWink endorses or is affiliated with that third party.

6. DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?

In Short: We may use cookies and similar technologies to operate, secure, analyze, and improve KitchenWink and, where applicable, to support advertising.

We and certain third-party service providers may use cookies, pixels, web beacons, tags, and similar technologies when you visit or interact with KitchenWink. These technologies may collect information about your browser, device, Website activity, and preferences.

We may use these technologies for purposes such as:

• Essential functions: To operate the Website, maintain security, prevent abuse, and support basic functionality.
• Preferences: To remember certain settings or preferences where applicable.
• Analytics: To understand how visitors use our Website, measure traffic and content performance, and improve our services.
• Advertising: Where applicable, advertising partners and their service providers may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver, measure, personalize, or otherwise support advertising.

Some third-party technologies may involve the collection or processing of information by the third party directly. Their use of information is subject to their own privacy policies and applicable privacy requirements.

Where applicable under U.S. state privacy laws, certain advertising or tracking activities may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information, including for targeted or interest-based advertising. We provide applicable privacy choices and opt-out mechanisms as required by law.

You can manage certain cookie and privacy preferences through the choices provided on our Website. Additional information about the cookies and tracking technologies we use, including how to manage available choices, is provided in our Cookie Notice.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use KitchenWink, measure Website traffic and content performance, and improve our Website. Google Analytics may collect information such as device and browser information, approximate location, and information about your interactions with our Website.

For more information about how Google handles information collected through Analytics, please review Google’s applicable privacy documentation.

7. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

In Short: We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by applicable law.

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide the requested services, respond to inquiries, maintain our Website and business operations, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and protect our rights.

The length of time we retain information depends on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected. When we no longer have a legitimate need to retain personal information, we will take reasonable steps to delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it, subject to applicable legal, technical, or operational requirements.

Where information remains in backup systems, we will maintain appropriate safeguards and delete or isolate that information in accordance with our applicable backup and retention practices.

8. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

In Short: We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect the personal information we process.

We take reasonable measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, use, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures may include appropriate website security practices, access controls, secure connections, and other safeguards appropriate to the information we process.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically is completely secure. Therefore, while we take reasonable steps to protect your information, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent every possible security incident.

If a security incident occurs that requires notification under applicable law, we will provide notice and take appropriate steps as required by law.

9. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?

In Short: KitchenWink is intended for a general audience, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children in circumstances where applicable law requires parental consent.

KitchenWink does not knowingly request or collect personal information from children where doing so would violate applicable privacy laws. We also do not knowingly use personal information from children for targeted advertising or other purposes prohibited by applicable law.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has provided personal information to us in a manner that may violate applicable law, please contact us at info@kitchenwink.com. We will review the request and, where required by applicable law, take reasonable steps to delete the information.

We may take reasonable steps to determine whether age-related restrictions or parental consent requirements apply when required by applicable law.

10. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?

In Short: Depending on where you live and the laws that apply to you, you may have rights regarding the personal information we process about you.

Rights in the EEA, UK, Switzerland, and Other Applicable Jurisdictions

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These rights may include:

• Right of access: You may request access to personal information we hold about you.
• Right to correction: You may request that inaccurate or incomplete personal information be corrected.
• Right to deletion: You may request deletion of your personal information in circumstances where applicable law gives you that right.
• Right to restrict processing: You may request that we limit the processing of your personal information in certain circumstances.
• Right to data portability: Where applicable, you may request certain personal information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format or ask that it be transferred to another organization where legally required.
• Right to object: In certain circumstances, you may object to our processing of your personal information, including processing for direct marketing.
• Right to withdraw consent: Where we rely on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before your consent was withdrawn or processing that may continue on another lawful basis.

These rights are subject to applicable legal conditions and exceptions. We will review and respond to valid privacy requests in accordance with the laws that apply to your request.

Where applicable, you may also have rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling. KitchenWink does not intend to make decisions solely through automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects on individuals. If this changes, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any information and rights required by applicable law.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise an applicable privacy right or ask a question about your personal information, contact us at:

info@kitchenwink.com

We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests in order to protect your personal information and prevent unauthorized access.

Complaints

If you are located in the EEA, UK, Switzerland, or another jurisdiction that provides a right to complain to a data protection authority, you may have the right to contact the relevant supervisory or regulatory authority if you believe your personal information has been processed unlawfully.

11. DO-NOT-TRACK AND PRIVACY PREFERENCE SIGNALS

In Short: Your browser or device may provide privacy preference signals that communicate certain privacy choices to websites.

Some browsers and devices offer Do-Not-Track (DNT) settings that send a signal indicating that a user does not want their online activity to be tracked. Because DNT signals are not treated uniformly across websites and technologies, KitchenWink does not currently use DNT signals as a universal instruction to disable all tracking.

However, certain applicable privacy laws recognize opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control (GPC), for specific privacy choices. Where required by applicable law, KitchenWink will process recognized privacy preference signals in accordance with the applicable legal requirements.

If you use a browser or extension that sends a recognized privacy preference signal, your choice may be applied to the browser or device from which the signal is sent, subject to applicable law and the capabilities of our privacy-management technology.

12. DO UNITED STATES RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?
