Last Updated: August 15, 2025
The Simple Version: I respect your privacy and only collect information that helps me share better recipes with you. I’ll never sell your email to anyone, and you can ask me to delete your information anytime. Keep reading for all the details!
Information I Collect
Information You Give Me Directly
When you interact with Daily Cake, here’s what you might share with me:

Information I Collect Automatically
Like most websites, Daily Cake automatically collects some technical information to help me understand how people use the site:
- Website Usage: Which recipes you view, how long you stay, which pages are most popular
- Device Information: What type of device and browser you’re using (so I can make sure recipes display properly)
- Location (General): Your general location (like “North Carolina, USA”) to understand where my readers are located
- Referral Source: How you found Daily Cake (Google search, Pinterest, direct visit, etc.)
How I Use Your Information
I use the information I collect to:
- Send You Recipes: Email you new cake recipes and baking tips (only if you’ve subscribed)
- Answer Your Questions: Respond to your baking questions and recipe troubleshooting requests

What I DON’T Do: I will never sell, rent, or give away your email address or personal information to other companies. I don’t send promotional emails for other businesses, and I don’t share your baking questions or personal stories without your permission.
Cookies & Tracking
Daily Cake uses cookies (the digital kind, not the edible kind!) to make your experience better. Here’s what they do:
Essential Cookies
- Remember if you’ve subscribed to my newsletter (so I don’t keep asking)
- Keep track of your preferences (like if you prefer metric measurements)
- Make sure comment forms work properly
Analytics Cookies
I use Google Analytics to understand how people use Daily Cake. This helps me know:
- Which recipes are most popular
- How people navigate the site
- What devices people use (so I can optimize for mobile baking!)
- General location of visitors (country/state level only)
You can turn off cookies in your browser settings, but some features of the website might not work as well.
Third-Party Services
Daily Cake works with a few trusted services to function properly:
Email Newsletter Service
I use a reputable email service provider to send newsletters. They only have access to your email address and name (if provided), and they follow strict privacy rules.
Website Analytics
Google Analytics helps me understand website traffic. Google has their own privacy policy that governs how they handle data.
Website Hosting
My web hosting provider stores the website files and may collect basic server logs for security purposes.
Comment Systems
If you leave comments, they’re stored on my website server. I moderate all comments and don’t share them with third parties.
Data Protection & Security
I take protecting your information seriously. Here’s how I keep your data safe:
- Secure Transmission: Daily Cake uses SSL encryption (that’s the “https://” you see in your browser)
- Limited Access: Only I have access to subscriber emails and contact information
- Regular Backups: Website data is backed up regularly and stored securely
- Password Protection: All admin areas are protected with strong passwords
- Updated Software: I keep all website software updated with the latest security patches
Important Note: While I do my best to protect your information, no internet transmission is 100% secure. Please don’t email me sensitive information like credit card numbers or social security numbers.
Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA Compliant)
You have control over your personal information. Here’s what you can do:

- Comments you’ve left (if you can identify which ones are yours)
Unsubscribe Anytime
Every newsletter has an unsubscribe link, or you can email me directly. I’ll remove you from the list within 24 hours (and honestly, I’ll be a little sad to see you go!).
Data Portability
Want to take your data with you? I can provide your information in a readable format if you ask.
Children’s Privacy
Daily Cake is designed for adult home bakers. I don’t knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you’re under 18, please have a parent or guardian help you when contacting me or subscribing to newsletters.
If I become aware that I’ve collected information from a child under 13, I’ll delete it immediately.

I follow privacy protection standards that meet or exceed requirements in the US, EU, and other international jurisdictions.
