GDPR Compliance Policy

Last Updated: April 03, 2026

Dailycookingnest (“we”, “us”, or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and related data‑protection laws. This policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, the legal basis for processing, and your rights under the GDPR. If you have any questions or wish to exercise any of the rights described below, please contact us at [email protected].

1. What Data We Collect

We collect the following types of personal data when you interact with our website, services, and communications:

Email addresses: When you subscribe to our newsletters, create an account, or contact us via email, we store your email address to provide you with relevant content and updates.
Cookies and similar technologies: We use first‑party cookies to remember your preferences, language settings, and session information. We also use third‑party analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics, Hotjar) to understand how visitors use our site.
Analytics data: We collect aggregated, non‑personal data about your interactions with our site, such as page views, click‑through rates, and device information, to improve user experience and optimize content.

2. How We Protect Your Data

We implement 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 SSL/TLS protocols.
Secure servers: Our hosting environment is protected by firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and regular security audits.
Access controls: Only authorised staff with a legitimate need can access personal data, and all access is logged.
Data minimisation: We only collect data that is necessary for the stated purposes and retain it for no longer than required.
Regular backups: We perform encrypted backups of critical data and store them in secure, geographically separate locations.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data under the following lawful bases:

Consent: When you sign up for newsletters or create an account, you explicitly consent to receive communications and to the use of cookies for personalised content.
Legitimate interest: We process data to improve our website, deliver relevant content, and analyse usage patterns. We have conducted a legitimate interest assessment to ensure that these interests do not override your rights.

4. Your GDPR Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data. Each right is accompanied by an icon for quick reference.

Right to Access

You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, including the purposes of processing and the categories of data.

Right to Rectification

You can ask us to correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold.

Right to Erasure

Also known as the “right to be forgotten”, you can request deletion of your personal data where no legal obligation requires us to retain it.

Right to Restrict Processing

Under certain circumstances, you can request that we limit how we use your data (e.g., for accuracy checks).

Right to Data Portability

You can receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used format, and transfer it to another controller.

Right to Object

You may object to processing for direct marketing, profiling, or processing based on legitimate interest.

Right to Withdraw Consent

At any time you can withdraw consent for the use of your personal data; this does not affect the lawfulness of any processing performed before withdrawal.

5. How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of the rights described above, please contact us at [email protected] with a brief description of your request and, where applicable, a copy of a government‑issued ID for verification. We will respond to your request within 30 days, as required by the GDPR. If you need a copy of the data we hold, we will provide it in a commonly used format such as PDF or CSV.

6. Retention of Personal Data

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected or to comply with legal obligations. Typical retention periods are:

Email addresses: up to 2 years after last contact, unless the user requests deletion earlier.
Cookies: session cookies are deleted when the browser is closed; persistent cookies are deleted after 12 months unless the user opts to keep them.
Analytics data: aggregated data is kept for 12 months to improve our services.
