GDPR Compliance Policy

Last Updated: December 01, 2025

1. Introduction

dailymumrecipes (https://dailymumrecipes.com) is committed to protecting the personal data of its users in accordance with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR). This policy explains what personal data we collect, how we process it, the legal bases for processing, the security measures we employ, and the rights you enjoy under the GDPR. If you have any questions or wish to exercise any of your rights, please contact us at gdpr@dailymumrecipes.com.

2. Personal Data We Collect

We collect and process the following categories of personal data:

Email address – provided voluntarily when you subscribe to our newsletter, comment on a recipe, or request a password reset.
Cookies & similar technologies – used to remember your preferences, analyse site usage, and deliver personalised content.
Analytics data – aggregated information such as IP address, device type, browser version, and pages visited, collected via Google Analytics and other analytics services.

We do not collect sensitive data (e.g., health, racial, or political information) and we never sell your personal data to third parties.

3. How We Protect Your Data

We employ a range of technical and organisational measures to safeguard your personal data:

SSL/TLS Encryption – All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using HTTPS.
Secure Servers – Our hosting environment is protected by firewalls, intrusion‑detection systems, and regular security patches.
Limited Retention – Email addresses are retained only for as long as you remain subscribed or until you request deletion. Analytics data is anonymised after 26 months.
Access Controls – Only authorised personnel with a legitimate need can access personal data, and they are required to sign confidentiality agreements.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

We rely on the following lawful bases under Article 6 GDPR:

Consent (Article 6(1)(a)) – When you voluntarily sign up for our newsletter or accept cookies, you give explicit consent for us to process your email address and cookie data.
Legitimate Interests (Article 6(1)(f)) – Processing analytics data and using cookies for site optimisation is necessary for the legitimate interest of improving user experience and site security.

If you withdraw consent, we will cease processing the data that relies solely on that consent, while retaining data that is necessary for legal compliance or the performance of a contract.

5. Your GDPR Rights

Under the GDPR you have the following rights. Each right is accompanied by a Bootstrap Icon for quick visual reference.

Right to Access

You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, together with information about how we process it.

Right to Rectification

If any of your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you can ask us to correct or complete it without undue delay.

Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)

You can request the deletion of your personal data where there is no overriding legitimate reason for us to retain it.

Right to Restrict Processing

You may ask us to limit the processing of your data while we verify the accuracy of the information or while a dispute is being resolved.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine‑readable format and to transmit it to another controller.

Right to Object

You may object to the processing of your data for direct marketing, profiling, or any other legitimate‑interest basis.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based on your consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

6. How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of the rights listed above, please follow these steps:

Send a written request to gdpr@dailymumrecipes.com. Include your full name, the email address associated with your account (if applicable), and a clear description of the right you wish to invoke.
Provide proof of identity (e.g., a scanned government‑issued ID) to help us verify that the request is legitimate. This step is required only for requests that involve access, rectification, erasure, or data portability.
We will acknowledge receipt of your request within 5 business days and will endeavour to complete the action within 30 calendar days, as required by GDPR Article 12‑3.
If we need additional information to confirm your identity or to clarify the scope of the request, we will contact you promptly. Failure to provide the required information may result in a delay or inability to fulfil the request.

In the unlikely event that we are unable to comply with your request (for example, where a legal obligation requires us to retain the data), we will inform you of the specific reasons for the refusal and your right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

7. Response Time

All requests concerning your GDPR rights will be processed within 30 days of receipt. If the request is particularly complex or numerous, we may extend the period by a further two months, but we will inform you of any such extension within the initial 30‑day period.

8. Contact Information

For any inquiries related to this GDPR Compliance Policy, data protection matters, or to submit a rights request, please contact our Data Protection Officer (DPO) at:

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in the EU member state where you reside, work, or where the alleged infringement took place.

9. Changes to This Policy
