Privacy Policy

Who we are

The Real Chinese Food (“we”, “us”) publishes this website at therealchinesefood.com to share Chinese home-cooking recipes and related content. This policy describes how we handle information when you use the site.

Information we collect

• Usage & analytics. We may use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand aggregate traffic — for example which pages are viewed, approximate region, device type, and how visitors navigate the site. These tools use cookies or similar technologies and may collect IP-derived data according to Google’s policies.
• Embedded video. Recipe pages may embed YouTube players. When you play or load that content, Google may receive information as described in their privacy policy.
• Email you send us. If you contact us, we keep your message and email address only as needed to respond and maintain our records.
• Contact form. If you use the web form on our Contact page, your submission is relayed through FormSubmit before it reaches our inbox; their processing is described in their privacy policy.
• Hosting & infrastructure. Our hosting provider (and related services such as DNS or CDN) may process technical data such as IP addresses, request logs, and timestamps to deliver the site securely.

How we use information

We use the above information to operate and improve the website, fix errors, understand what content is useful, and communicate with people who contact us. We do not sell your personal information.

Cookies

This site may set first- or third-party cookies for analytics or embedded media. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how certain features work.

Retention

Analytics and server logs are kept only as long as needed for our providers’ tools or legal obligations. Email correspondence is kept for a reasonable period to manage ongoing conversations and legitimate interests.

Your choices & rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain processing of personal data, or to object or lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. To exercise requests related to email we’ve received from you, contact us. For GA4, you may also use Google’s browser add-ons or settings where available.

Children

The site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do; continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
