Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 19, 2025

Welcome to the AtomicBite lab! We value your privacy as much as we value precision in our recipes. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect from you, how we use it, and how we keep it safe. Think of this as the “why” behind our data collection—just like we explain the science behind our food.

1. Information We Collect

We only collect information in a few specific ways to help improve your experience on AtomicBite.

• Information You Voluntarily Provide:
  • Comments: When you leave a comment on a recipe or post, we collect the data shown in the comments form (typically your name and email address) and your IP address to help with spam detection.
  • Direct Emails: If you email us directly using the contact information provided, we will have your email address and any other information you choose to share in your message. We use this solely to respond to your inquiries.
• Information Collected Automatically:
  • Cookies & Analytics: Like almost every website, AtomicBite uses cookies and similar technologies. These are small data files stored on your browser. We use them to understand how visitors interact with our site—for example, which recipes are most popular, how long people stay on a page, and what type of device they are using. This helps us “debug” the website and create more content that you love. This data is generally anonymous and aggregated.

2. How We Use Your Information

Our mission is to democratize food science, not to exploit your data. We use the information we collect for a few key purposes:

• To Run and Maintain the Website: To display comments, prevent spam, and ensure the site functions correctly.
• To Improve Your Experience: Analyzing traffic helps us understand what content is working, allowing us to create better recipes and tutorials.
• To Communicate With You: To respond to your emails and comments.

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information to others. That’s not part of our formula.

3. Cookies

You have control over cookies. You can set your web browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you do so, note that some parts of the site may not function as intended. We use cookies for:

• Essential Site Functionality: Remembering if you’ve already left a comment, for instance.
• Analytics: To gather anonymous traffic data (e.g., via Google Analytics).

4. Your Data Rights

You have rights regarding your personal information. Depending on your location, these may include the right to:

• Request Access: You can ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Request Correction: If you believe any information we have is inaccurate, you can ask us to correct it.
• Request Deletion: You can request that we erase your personal data (for example, by asking us to delete a comment you left).

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us.

5. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information, much like we take precautions in our kitchen lab. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

6. Children’s Privacy

AtomicBite is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us so we can promptly remove it.

7. Links to Other Websites

Our recipes and posts may contain links to other websites (for example, to a food science documentary or a social media profile). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those other sites. When you leave AtomicBite, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of the new site.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy from time to time as our website evolves. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the “Effective Date” at the top.

9. Contact Us

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or your data, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

You can contact our founder and Atomic Chef, Lena Morgan, via the contact information on our website.
