What this policy covers

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when we share it, and the choices you have. This policy applies to the Site and any forms, email sign-ups, or affiliate links we host or share.

Information we collect

1) Information you provide

  • Contact details (e.g., name, email) when you submit a contact form, join the newsletter, or otherwise reach out.

  • Content of your message and any files you attach.

  • Order interest/preferences you may optionally share (e.g., cake style, flavors) for future bakery services.

2) Information collected automatically

  • Device and usage data such as IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages viewed, referring/exit pages, and timestamps.

  • Cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working and understand what content is popular. See “Cookies & tracking” below.

  • Search performance data (e.g., Google Search Console): We use Google Search Console to monitor how the Site performs in Google Search results. This includes aggregated, non-personal information such as search queries, impressions, and clicks that help us understand what content is helpful to visitors.

3) Information from partners (if enabled)

  • Email service provider (e.g., Squarespace Email Campaigns or another provider): basic engagement stats (e.g., opens, clicks).

  • Analytics (e.g., Squarespace Analytics and/or Google Analytics): aggregated site traffic insights.

  • Affiliate programs (e.g., Amazon Associates): may set cookies when you click an affiliate link and attribute qualifying purchases to our account.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information or children’s personal information (see “Children’s privacy”).

How we use your information

  • Provide and improve the Site (publish content, fix bugs, measure performance).

  • Communicate with you (respond to messages, send newsletters you’ve opted into).

  • Operate affiliate links (so we can earn a commission on qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you).

  • Maintain security and prevent abuse (detect spam or misuse).

  • Comply with legal obligations (record-keeping, required disclosures).

  • Analyze traffic and improve search visibility using tools like Google Search Console and Google Analytics (if enabled).

When we share information

We share information only as needed to run the Site and services:

  • Service providers (e.g., hosting, email delivery, analytics) under contracts that require them to protect your information.

  • Affiliate programs (e.g., Amazon Associates) when you click an affiliate link; they may set their own cookies and track purchases.

  • Legal and safety if required by law, subpoena, or to protect our rights, users, or the public.

  • Business transfers in the unlikely event of a merger, sale, or reorganization.

We do not sell your personal information. We also do not “share” personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA).

Cookies & tracking

We (and our providers) use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • keep the Site functioning,

  • remember preferences, and

  • understand what content is useful.

You can control cookies in your browser settings. If you block cookies, some features may not work as intended.

If enabled, Google Analytics and similar tools use cookies to generate statistics about Site use. You can learn more and opt out via Google’s tools and your browser settings.

Amazon Associates: As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. Amazon may place cookies to track referrals and purchases when you click an Amazon link. See Amazon’s privacy practices for details.

Email communications

If you join our newsletter, we’ll send recipes, site news, and bakery updates. You can unsubscribe any time using the link at the bottom of each email. We keep minimal data needed to honor your opt-in/opt-out preferences.

Your choices & rights

  • Opt-out of emails: Use the unsubscribe link in any newsletter.

  • Cookies: Manage cookies in your browser (and via the Site’s cookie banner where available).

  • Access, update, or delete: Email us at hello.littlehandskitchen@gmail.com and we’ll help with reasonable requests, subject to verification and applicable law.

Region-specific notices

  • California (CCPA/CPRA): California residents have rights to know, access, correct, and delete certain personal information, and to limit use of sensitive personal information. We do not sell or share personal information as defined by CPRA. To exercise rights, contact us at the email above.

  • EEA/UK (GDPR): If applicable, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, and to data portability. Our lawful bases include legitimate interests (site operations, security, analytics), consent (newsletter), and legal obligation. You may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Data retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described above (for example, until you unsubscribe from emails), to meet legal obligations, or resolve disputes. We then delete or anonymize it.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. No system is 100% secure; please use the Site with this in mind.

Children’s privacy

Our Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we’ll delete it.

International transfers

If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the U.S., where privacy laws may differ from those in your country.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we’ll update the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the Site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
