Last Updated: April 03, 2026

1. Introduction

Mealfoodstudio (the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of our users in accordance with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, the legal basis for processing, the rights you have as a data subject, and how you can exercise those rights.

2. Data We Collect

Email addresses: When you subscribe to our newsletter, request a recipe, or contact us, we collect your email address to communicate with you and provide requested services.
Cookies: We use first‑party cookies to remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and improve the functionality of our site.
Analytics data: We employ Google Analytics and similar tools to gather anonymised data about how visitors use our website, such as pages viewed, time spent, and referral sources. This information helps us improve user experience and tailor content.

3. How We Protect Your Data

We implement industry‑standard security measures to safeguard your personal data:

All data transmission is encrypted via TLS (HTTPS) to prevent interception.
Data is stored on secure, access‑controlled servers located within the European Economic Area.
We enforce role‑based access controls, ensuring that only authorised personnel can view personal data.
Personal data is retained 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 subscriptions – 5 years, cookie data – 13 months, analytics data – anonymised after 12 months.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data under the following lawful bases:

Consent: When you voluntarily provide your email address or opt‑in to cookies, you give explicit consent for us to process that data.
Legitimate Interest: We rely on legitimate interest to process analytics data and to improve the performance and security of our website. This interest is balanced against your privacy rights, and we ensure that no undue harm arises.

5. Your GDPR Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data. Each right is illustrated with a Bootstrap icon for quick reference.

Right to Access – You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, including the purposes for processing and the categories of data.
Right to Rectification – You can ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
Right to Erasure – Also known as the “right to be forgotten.” You may request deletion of your data where no legal obligation requires us to keep it.
Right to Restrict Processing – You can limit how we process your data, for example, if you contest its accuracy or object to its use.
Right to Data Portability – You can receive your data in a structured, commonly used format and transfer it to another controller.
Right to Object – You may object to processing for direct marketing or profiling purposes.
Right to Withdraw Consent – You can withdraw consent at any time, which will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal.

6. How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of the rights above, please contact our Data Protection Officer via email at [email protected]. In your request, include:

Your full name and contact details.
A clear statement of the right you wish to exercise.
