Privacy Policy
Last updated: 6 August 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Completely Tasty collects and uses personal information when you visit completelytasty.com, contact us or follow an affiliate link.
Who we are
Completely Tasty operates this website and is responsible for the personal information described in this policy. You can contact us at thekitchen@completelytasty.com or through our Contact page.
Information we collect
- Messages you send us: your email address, name if supplied, the contents of your message and our correspondence.
- Technical and security information: our website host may record information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, requested pages and the date and time of requests in server logs.
- Affiliate-link information: when you follow an affiliate link, the affiliate network and merchant may collect information about the click and any resulting purchase. We may receive reporting about clicks, transactions and commission, but we do not receive your payment-card details from the merchant.
How and why we use information
- To answer enquiries and manage correspondence, based on our legitimate interest in communicating with readers and business contacts.
- To operate, maintain, secure and improve the website, based on our legitimate interest in running a safe and useful publishing service.
- To administer affiliate relationships, verify referrals and account for commission, based on our legitimate interests and any applicable legal obligations.
- To comply with legal, tax, accounting or regulatory requirements.
- Where consent is required, such as for non-essential cookies, we rely on that consent and you may withdraw it at any time.
Affiliate links
Some links on Completely Tasty are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. The link may pass through an affiliate network, including Awin, before reaching the merchant. Those third parties operate under their own privacy and cookie policies. You can read Awin’s privacy policy and our Affiliate Disclosure for more information.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small files placed on your device. The website and its hosting platform may use cookies that are strictly necessary for security and basic operation. We do not currently use a reader account, newsletter signup or our own advertising-profile system.
Affiliate networks or merchants may use cookies or similar technologies after you follow an affiliate link so that a referral and any resulting purchase can be attributed correctly. You can control or delete cookies using your browser settings. If we introduce non-essential cookies directly on this website, we will update this policy and provide appropriate choices before they are set.
Who we share information with
We may share personal information where necessary with our website host, email provider and technical service providers; with affiliate networks and merchants when you choose to follow their links; with professional advisers; or with public authorities where disclosure is required by law. We do not sell your personal information.
International processing
Some service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where UK data-protection law requires safeguards for an international transfer, we expect the relevant provider to use an approved safeguard or another lawful transfer mechanism.
How long we keep information
We normally keep general correspondence for up to 24 months after the last contact. Technical logs are kept according to our host’s operational and security retention periods and may be retained longer when needed to investigate an incident. Affiliate and accounting records are kept for as long as needed to administer the programme and meet tax, accounting or legal requirements. We delete or anonymise information when it is no longer needed.
Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, UK data-protection law may give you rights to request access to your personal information; ask us to correct or erase it; restrict or object to its use; receive certain information in a portable format; and withdraw consent where we rely on consent. These rights are not absolute and legal exceptions may apply.
To exercise a right, email thekitchen@completelytasty.com. We may need to confirm your identity. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.
External and embedded content
Our pages may link to or embed content from other websites. Those services may collect information or use cookies as if you had visited them directly. Their own privacy policies apply, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices.
Children
Completely Tasty is intended for a general adult audience and is not designed to collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our services, suppliers or legal obligations change. The date at the top shows when it was last updated.
