Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 18, 2026
Welcome to Plateori.com! I’m Karina, and I’m so glad you’re here. This privacy policy is here to help you understand what information I collect, how I use it, and how you can control your data. I want you to feel safe and comfortable while you browse recipes, leave comments, or sign up for my newsletter.
Who We Are
Plateori.com is a personal food blog run by me, Karina. My goal is to share approachable, delicious recipes and create a welcoming space for home cooks and food lovers. If you have any questions about this policy, you can always reach me at [email protected] or through the contact page.
What Information We Collect
I only collect the information that’s necessary to make Plateori.com work well for you. Here’s what that looks like:
- Email Address: If you sign up for the Plateori newsletter, I’ll collect your email address so I can send you updates and new recipes.
- Comments: When you leave a comment on a recipe, you may be asked for your name and email address. This helps prevent spam and lets me reply to you.
- Automatically Collected Data: Like most websites, Plateori.com uses Google Analytics to understand how people use the site. This includes things like your browser type, device, pages visited, and how long you stay. This data is anonymous and helps me improve the site.
- Cookies: Plateori.com uses cookies to remember your preferences and make the site easier to use. Cookies are small files stored on your device.
How Your Information Is Used
I use your information in a few simple ways:
- To send you the Plateori newsletter if you’ve signed up
- To respond to your comments or questions
- To keep the site running smoothly and improve your experience
- To prevent spam and keep the community safe
Sharing Your Information
I respect your privacy. I do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to anyone. The only times your data might be shared are:
- With trusted service providers (like my email newsletter service or Google Analytics) who help me run the site. They only use your data to provide their services and are required to keep it safe.
- If required by law, such as to comply with a legal request or protect the rights and safety of Plateori.com and its users.
Cookies & Tracking
Plateori.com uses cookies to:
- Remember your preferences (like your name when you comment)
- Analyze site traffic and usage through Google Analytics
You can turn off cookies in your browser settings if you prefer. Just know that some parts of the site might not work as smoothly without them.
Newsletter & Email Opt-In
If you join the Plateori newsletter, I’ll use your email address to send you updates, recipes, and the occasional friendly note. You can unsubscribe at any time—just click the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any email, or email me at [email protected] and I’ll remove you from the list.
Children’s Privacy
Plateori.com is meant for adults and families, but not for children under 13. I don’t knowingly collect personal information from kids under 13. If you think your child has provided information here, please let me know and I’ll remove it right away.
Your Rights (Including CCPA)
If you live in California, you have special rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Here’s what you can do:
- Access: Ask what personal information I have about you.
- Delete: Ask me to delete your personal information.
- Opt-Out: You can ask me not to sell your personal information (though I don’t sell it anyway).
To make any of these requests, just email me at [email protected]. I’ll respond as quickly as I can.
How I Protect Your Information
I take your privacy seriously. I use secure systems and trusted providers to keep your information safe. While no website can guarantee 100% security, I do my best to protect your data from unauthorized access or misuse.
Third-Party Links
Sometimes I link to other websites or resources I love. If you click one of those links, their privacy policies will apply—not mine. I recommend checking their policies if you have any concerns.
Changes to This Policy
I may update this privacy policy from time to time to keep up with changes in the law or how Plateori.com works. If I make big changes, I’ll post a notice on the site. The date at the top always shows when it was last updated.
