1. Introduction

ChefStyleRecipes (the “Website”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of our visitors, subscribers, and customers in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”). This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we protect it, the legal bases for processing, and the rights you have under the GDPR. By using our site at https://chefstylerecipes.com, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.

2. Personal Data We Collect

We collect and process the following categories of personal data:

We do not collect sensitive data (e.g., health, racial, or financial information) unless you voluntarily provide it in a support request, in which case it will be handled with the same level of protection described below.

3. How We Use and Protect Your Data

Purpose of Processing

The data we collect is used to:

Security Measures

We employ industry‑standard technical and organisational safeguards, including:

4. Legal Basis for Processing

We rely on the following lawful bases under the GDPR:

Where consent is the basis, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

5. Your GDPR Rights

Under the GDPR you have the following rights. Each right is accompanied by a Bootstrap icon for quick visual reference.

Right to Access

You may request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and obtain a copy of that data, together with the purposes, categories, and recipients of the processing.

Right to Rectification

If any of your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you can ask us to correct or complete it without undue delay.

Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)

You may request the deletion of your personal data where the processing is no longer necessary, you have withdrawn consent, or you object to the processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds.

Right to Restrict Processing

You can ask us to limit the way we use your data while we verify the accuracy of the data or while a dispute is being resolved.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine‑readable format, and to transmit that data to another controller where technically feasible.

Right to Object

You may object at any time to processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing. Upon receipt of a valid objection, we will cease the processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based on your consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

6. How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of the rights listed above, please contact our Data Protection Officer (DPO) at:

When you contact us, please provide enough information to identify you (e.g., the email address you used with us) and clearly state which right you wish to invoke. We may request additional verification to ensure that we are responding to the legitimate data subject.

We will acknowledge receipt of your request without undue delay and aim to provide a substantive response within 30 calendar days, as required by the GDPR. In complex cases, this period may be extended by a further two months, but you will be informed of any extension and the reasons for it.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. Specifically:

8. International Transfers

All processing takes place within the European Economic Area (EEA). If a transfer outside the EEA becomes necessary, we will ensure an adequate level of protection through Standard Contractual Clauses or other approved mechanisms.
