My Mouth is Full is a personal food blog. This page explains what information the site collects when you visit, comment or get in touch, and what happens to it. We keep it to the minimum the site needs to work.
Who we are
This site is run by La Chef. Our address is https://www.mymouthisfull.com. You can reach us through the contact page.
Comments and recipe ratings
When you leave a comment (and, optionally, a star rating for a recipe), we collect the name, email address and website you enter, the comment itself, your IP address and your browser’s user-agent string, to help us spot spam.
- Your email address is never shown on the site. Your name and comment are shown publicly once approved.
- New comments are held for moderation before they appear.
- If you have a Gravatar, your profile picture may appear next to your comment. To find it, a scrambled version of your email address (a “hash”) is sent to the Gravatar service (run by Automattic). Their privacy policy: https://automattic.com/privacy/
- Comments and ratings are kept for as long as the post is online, unless you ask us to remove them.
Contact form
When you use the contact form, the name, email address, website and message you enter are sent to us by email so we can reply. They are not stored on the website. The email is delivered through Amazon Web Services (Amazon SES). A spam check by Cloudflare Turnstile runs on the form (see below).
Cookies
- Comment cookies: if you tick the box to remember your details when commenting, your name, email and website are saved in a cookie in your browser for a year so you don’t have to type them again.
- Google Analytics cookies: only if you click Accept on our cookie notice (“Cookies are yummy, but…”) (see Analytics). If you choose “No thanks”, no analytics cookies are set and Google’s code is not loaded. Your choice is remembered in your browser; to change it, clear this site’s data in your browser and the notice will appear again.
- Security: our security provider, Cloudflare, may set a strictly necessary cookie to tell people from bots.
- If you log in (site authors only), WordPress sets login cookies.
Analytics
- Cloudflare Web Analytics counts visits without cookies and without identifying you.
- Google Analytics (only after you accept) tells us which recipes and pages people enjoy, roughly where visitors come from, and which device types they use. IP addresses are anonymised. Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
- Our recipe plugin keeps simple statistics (for example, how often a recipe is viewed or printed) for 90 days.
Embedded content and sharing buttons
- Some posts include videos from YouTube, and the footer shows recent photos from our Instagram. Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited that website, which may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with the embedded content.
- The Pin buttons do not load anything from Pinterest. Only if you click one are you taken to Pinterest, where Pinterest’s own privacy policy applies.
Who we share data with
We don’t sell or share your data for advertising. The services that help run the site are:
- Amazon Web Services (hosting in Ireland, EU; email delivery)
- Cloudflare (security, speed, spam check on forms, cookie-free statistics)
- Google (Analytics, only if you accept)
- Automattic / Gravatar (comment avatars)
How long we keep data
- Comments and ratings: as long as the post is online.
- Contact messages: in our email, for as long as needed to reply and follow up.
- Server logs (which include IP addresses, for security): 10 days.
Your rights
You can ask us for a copy of the personal data we hold about you (such as your comments), or ask us to correct or delete it. Use the contact page. This does not include data we must keep for security or legal reasons.
Changes
If we change how the site handles your information, we’ll update this page and the date at the top.
