Privacy Policy

1.Who I am

TastFork is a recipe website created and run by MD Ashraf Ahmed. When this page says “I”, “me”, or “TastFork”, it means me and this website, https://tastfork.com. I am the person responsible for how your information is handled here.

You are not “traffic” or “data” to me. You are a real person cooking real meals, and your trust is what keeps this little kitchen going.

2.What I collect

Collected automatically when you visit

Like almost every website, TastFork (and the services it uses) may record basic technical details:

• Pages you view and how long you stay
• Your device type, browser, and screen size
• The website that sent you here
• Your approximate location (such as city or country) based on your IP address

Information you choose to give me

• When you contact me: your name, email address, and the message you write.
• When you leave a comment (if comments are open): your name, email, comment, and IP address, which WordPress stores to help block spam.
• If you subscribe to emails (if I offer a newsletter): your email address.

3.Why I use your information

I use your information only for these reasons. I do not sell it, rent it, or trade it. Where privacy laws require your consent for something (such as certain cookies), I rely on that consent, and you can withdraw it at any time.

4.Cookies

Cookies are tiny files stored in your browser. They help websites remember things and work properly. TastFork may use:

• Essential cookies that keep the site working and secure.
• Analytics cookies that show me, in general numbers, how visitors use the site.
• Advertising cookies used by Google and its partners to show and measure ads.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site will still work, just maybe a little less smoothly. In places where the law asks for it, you will be given a choice before non-essential cookies are used.

5.Google Analytics and ads

To keep TastFork running, I use two widely trusted services from Google:

• Google Analytics gives me general statistics, like how many people visited a recipe.
• Google AdSense shows ads on the site. Google and its partners may use cookies to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites.

These companies have their own privacy rules, and you can learn more or change your choices here:

• How Google uses information from sites that use its services
• Google Ads Settings (turn off personalized ads)
• Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out and Your Online Choices (Europe)

6.Links to other sites

Sometimes I link to other websites, such as a helpful product or a useful resource. Once you click and leave TastFork, that site has its own rules, and I cannot control what happens there. It is always a good idea to read their privacy policy. If I ever use affiliate links, I will say so clearly.

7.How long I keep it and how I protect it

I keep contact messages and comments only as long as needed to reply and for reasonable records, then delete them when they are no longer useful. Analytics data is kept for the period set by the analytics provider.

I take reasonable steps to protect your information, such as using a secure hosting service and keeping the site software updated. No website can promise perfect security, but I take it seriously.

8.Your rights and choices

You are always in control. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Ask what information I have about you
• Ask me to correct or delete it
• Object to or limit how it is used
• Withdraw your consent at any time
• Unsubscribe from emails with one click
• Opt out of personalized advertising (see section 5)

To use any of these, email admin@tastfork.com or message me on WhatsApp at +880 1985-676823. I may need to confirm it is really you, and I will reply within 30 days. If you are not happy with my answer, you can also contact your local data protection authority.

9.Visitors from around the world

TastFork is read by people in many countries. The services I use, such as hosting and Google tools, may handle information in countries other than your own. Wherever it happens, I choose reputable providers and treat your information with the same care.

10.Children

TastFork is made for a general audience and is not meant for children under 13. I do not knowingly collect information from children. If a child has shared information by mistake, please email me and I will remove it promptly.

11.Changes to this page

As TastFork grows, I may update this policy. When I do, the new version will appear here with a new “Last updated” date at the top. If a change is important, I will make it easy to notice.
