Privacy Policy

This page explains what Top 10 Chicken Recipes collects when you read a recipe or write to us, why we hold it, how long we keep it, and what you can ask us to do with it.

What this policy covers

This policy describes how Top 10 Chicken Recipes (dave-hot-chicken.shop) handles personal data collected through this website. It applies to visitors who browse the site and to anyone who submits the contact form.

If you only read the chicken recipes, compare cooking methods, or follow links between guides, the site still records basic technical information on its server, and this policy covers that too. Where our practice changes, we update the text on this page rather than publishing a separate notice, so the version you are reading is always the current one.

Two related documents sit alongside this one: our Cookie Policy explains the small files stored in your browser in more detail, and our Terms of Service sets out how the site's recipe content may be used.

Information we collect

Two kinds of information reach us. One you type yourself; the other the server writes down on its own while you read. Neither is used to build a profile of you, and neither is sold or rented.

If you would rather not send the first kind at all, you can still use every recipe on the site without writing to us once.

What you send through the contact form

When you submit the contact form, we collect the name, email address, and message content you provide. That is the whole list. Nothing else is asked for, and there is no field you are required to fill beyond those three.

People write to us about a lot of things: a question about a cooking temperature, a correction to a method step, a request to add a regional style we have not covered, or a note about working together on a recipe. Whatever the message says, it arrives with your name and email attached to it.

What the server records while you browse

We also collect standard technical data that a web server records, such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited, through server logs and cookies. This is the ordinary record of a page request: which guide you opened, roughly when, and what kind of device asked for it.

Cookies do two small jobs here: keeping basic site functions working between page loads, and helping us see which recipes visitors actually read. Your browser settings let you block or clear them, and the site still serves its recipes if you do.

How we use information

Every piece of data the site holds has one job. If we cannot name the job, we do not keep the data.

Answering your message
Contact form data is used to read and respond to your message, including recipe questions, corrections, and collaboration requests. A correction you send is checked against the recipe and the method notes, and the page is updated if the change holds up. We do not use contact form data for advertising, and your address is not added to any marketing list.
Keeping the site running and honest
Technical data is used to keep the site working, understand which pages are used, and detect abuse. If one address is hammering the server or attempting to inject content, logs are how that gets noticed and stopped. Aggregate reading numbers tell us which recipe categories deserve more work, and they are read as totals, not as a file about one visitor.

Messages about method and temperature are the ones we read first, because a wrong number in a recipe is worth fixing quickly.

Legal basis and consent

Different kinds of data rest on different grounds. Knowing which applies to you makes it easier to decide what you want to do about it.

You can withdraw consent at any time by contacting us, though that may limit our ability to respond to your message — if we no longer hold your address, we cannot write back.

Contact form

Your consent

We process contact form data on the basis of your consent, given when you submit the form. Pressing send is the act that grants it. You can withdraw consent at any time by contacting us, and a withdrawal stops any further use of the message.

Server records

Our legitimate interest

Technical data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a functional website. Without it we cannot tell whether the site is up, whether a page is failing, or whether someone is misusing it. It is not used to make decisions about you as a person.

Sharing and third parties

We do not sell personal data. Data may be handled by service providers that host the site or process messages on our behalf, and those providers are expected to protect it. In practice that means a hosting provider that stores the site and its logs, and a message service that delivers contact form mail to our inbox.

We may disclose data if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of the site and its users. That is a narrow path: a valid legal request, or a situation where someone is attacking the site or another visitor.

We do not hand contact form messages to advertisers, and we do not pass your email address to a mailing list you did not ask for.

Retention

Nothing is kept without a reason and a rough end date. When data is no longer needed, it is deleted or anonymized.

Contact form messages

Contact form messages are kept for as long as needed to handle the request and for a reasonable period afterward for reference — long enough to remember a correction we already made, so the same question does not get answered twice in different ways.

Until resolved, plus a reference period

Server logs

Server log data is kept for a limited period, after which it rolls off the server automatically. It is not archived elsewhere.

Limited period, then removed

Deletion on request

If you ask us to delete a message before the retention period ends, we do it and confirm that it is done.

On request, any time

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you, and to object to certain processing. To make a request, use the contact page and describe what you need. We will respond within the time required by applicable law.

You do not have to explain why you are asking. Say what you want done — see it, fix it, remove it, or stop a particular use — and we will take it from there. If a request covers a message you already sent, mentioning roughly when you sent it helps us find it faster.

Children's privacy
