Privacy Policy

Butter Signal (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website at buttersignal.com and related services (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

By using the Site, you agree to this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

Information you provide. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address and any preferences you submit in that form.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, our hosting and analytics tools may collect standard log data such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed, referring URL, and approximate location derived from IP. We use this to operate, secure, and improve the Site.

Recipes and content. Published recipes are stored in our database. They do not include your personal information unless you submit feedback that we associate with a recipe report.

We use information to:

• Provide and maintain the Site and recipe search
• Send newsletter messages you signed up for (you can unsubscribe)
• Respond to support or legal requests
• Monitor performance, debug errors, and prevent abuse
• Comply with law and enforce our Terms

We do not sell your personal information for money. We may use affiliate or sponsored relationships as described on the Site (see Deals).

We may share information with:

• Service providers, including hosting, email delivery, analytics, and security vendors who process data on our instructions
• Retail partners, when you click outbound shop links (e.g. Amazon, Target), their sites have their own privacy policies
• Legal requirements, when required by law or to protect rights, safety, and integrity of the Site

Recipe images may be loaded from third-party hosts (such as Unsplash) under their licenses; those requests may be visible to the image provider.

We and our providers may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to remember preferences, keep sessions secure, and understand how the Site is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect some features.

Newsletter. Use the unsubscribe link in any email or contact us to opt out.

Access and deletion. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you. Email hello@buttersignal.com with your request. We may need to verify your identity.

California and other regions may provide additional rights (for example knowing categories of data shared). We will honor applicable legal requirements.

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

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised version on this page and update the “Last updated” date. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated policy.
