Last updated: November 4, 2025

Who We Are

Our website address is https://forgetsugarfriday.com (“Site,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information.

Comments, Media & Cookies

When visitors leave comments, upload media, or browse the Site, we may collect data such as IP address, browser type, and cookies for functionality, spam detection, and analytics. For convenience, cookies may save your name, email, and website for up to one year when you leave a comment. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

We also use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site. See Google’s Privacy Policy.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or links). Embedded content behaves as if you visited those third-party sites directly, which may collect data and use cookies.

How Long We Retain Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. Registered users can edit or delete their personal information at any time. Website administrators can also view and edit that information.

Your Privacy Rights (U.S. Residents)

Depending on your state of residence (including, without limitation, California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and Utah), you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

1) Right to Know / Access

You can request that we disclose:

The categories of personal information we have collected about you;
The sources of that information;
The business or commercial purposes for collecting or sharing it;
The categories of third parties we share information with; and
The specific pieces of personal information we hold about you.

2) Right to Delete

You may request that we delete personal information we’ve collected from you, subject to certain exceptions (e.g., to comply with legal obligations, complete transactions, or detect/prevent fraud). When an exception applies, we will explain it in our response.

3) Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing

Under certain U.S. state privacy laws (including California’s CCPA/CPRA), the use of cookies and similar technologies for advertising or analytics may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. This includes instances where third parties, such as our advertising partner Raptive, collect data from our users to help deliver personalized ads or measure ad performance.

Because of this, we offer you the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information. You can do so by contacting us directly as described below.

When you make this choice, we will work with our partners (including Raptive) to limit or disable data sharing for targeted advertising purposes as required by applicable law.

How to Submit a Request

You can make a privacy request by emailing us at [email protected].

To process your request, we may need to verify your identity (for example, by matching your name, email address, and other details). We will respond within 45 days, or as otherwise required by law. If we deny your request, we’ll explain the reason.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate or retaliate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

Categories of Personal Information We May Collect

Internet/Network Activity: browsing history on our Site, pages viewed, links clicked, time on page.
Geolocation (approximate): derived from IP address.
Inferences: preferences or interests inferred from on-Site activity (e.g., recipe categories).

We collect personal information directly from you (e.g., comments, forms) and automatically via cookies and similar technologies. We may disclose personal information to service providers and partners (e.g., hosting, analytics, advertising) for operational purposes described above.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. We may share information with advertising and analytics partners as needed to operate and improve the Site, subject to the “Your Privacy Rights” section above.

Children’s Privacy

Our Site is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.
