Privacy Policy

Last updated: 16 October 2026

This page describes what happens to information when someone visits homemadefood.app. It is written for adult readers in Canada, and it reflects the general shape of a small WordPress publication rather than a large platform. Sophie Brown maintains the page and can be reached through the details on the contact page.

What the site collects by default

A WordPress installation of this size handles a limited set of data without any special configuration. The categories below are the ones a visitor should expect.

Server logs
Hosting infrastructure records each request. A typical entry includes the IP address, the browser user agent string, the requested URL and a timestamp. These logs exist for security and troubleshooting, and they are generated whether or not anyone reads them.
Cookies for logged-in users
WordPress sets cookies when an account signs in, so the site can recognise the session and remember preferences. Visitors who never log in receive fewer of these. A cookie notice or browser setting controls what is stored on the device.
Comment data
If comments are open on an article, the form collects the name, email address, comment text and IP address. That information is stored so the comment can appear and so spam can be filtered.

What the site does not claim

As of the date at the top of this page, the site itself loads no advertising scripts and no third-party analytics scripts. No data collected through the site is sold. These statements describe the current build and the current configuration, and they would need to be revisited if that build changes.

Readers should note one boundary. Outbound links on this site lead to other websites, and those websites operate under their own privacy policies. A link to a helpline or an information resource does not transfer this policy to that destination, and the destination may collect data under rules this site does not control.

How long information is kept

Retention is handled in general terms because the exact period depends on the type of record. Server logs are kept for a limited window and then rotated or deleted. Comment data remains for as long as the comment is published, unless a removal request is granted. Account records remain while the account is active. Anyone who wants a specific record removed can ask, and the request will be assessed against the reason the record exists.

Rights available to visitors

Canadian privacy law, and the European framework that applies to some visitors, give people a set of rights over their personal information. In practice these come down to four actions.

  • Ask what personal information is held and receive an explanation of how it is used.
  • Ask for a correction when a record is inaccurate or incomplete.
  • Ask for deletion of information that is no longer needed for the purpose it was collected.
  • Ask questions about how a request is handled, including how long a response takes.

To raise any of these, use the contact route listed on the contact page. A request should describe the information involved and the action wanted. Requests are answered within a reasonable period, and a response may explain why a record cannot be removed if a legal or security reason applies.

Age requirement

This site is intended for adults. In Canada the minimum age for gambling is 18 in some provinces and 19 in others, and the higher figure applies wherever a reader is located. The site does not knowingly collect information from anyone below the relevant age. If a parent or guardian believes a minor has submitted information, the contact page is the route to have it removed.

Where to get help

Gambling carries risk, and the information on this site is written with that in mind. Readers who want support can contact ConnexOntario at 1-866-531-2600 or through connexontario.ca. The Responsible Gambling Council Canada publishes resources at responsiblegambling.org, and PlaySmart offers practical guidance at playsmart.ca. The site’s own responsible gambling page sets out how engagement features such as variable-ratio reinforcement and near-miss effects work as mechanics of game design.

Changes to this page

Privacy practices change when a site changes. When this page is updated, the date at the top changes with it. Readers who want to know how articles are researched and corrected can read the editorial policy, and the byline for this page sits at /author/spinsqueen/.

Limits of this page. This page explains the data handling of a small WordPress site in ordinary language, and it is not legal advice. It cannot describe the practices of any external site reached through a link, and it cannot cover a configuration change that has not yet been documented here.
