Privacy Policy

At mealplannergenerator, accessible from mealplannergenerator.com, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by mealplannergenerator and how we use it. We understand that nutrition and health data are intensely personal, and we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of transparency and security in how we handle your digital footprint.

1. Data Collection and Usage

Unlike many large nutrition conglomerates, mealplannergenerator operates on a "Privacy First" principle. We believe that your fitness goals should remain your property. When you use our plan generator, the information you input—such as your dietary style, goals, and allergies—is typically processed locally in your browser environment. This "Edge Processing" model ensures that your data never has to leave your device unless absolutely necessary for a transaction or account feature.

Personal Information We May Collect

If you choose to contact us directly or sign up for our newsletter, we may receive additional information about you such as your name, email address, phone number, the contents of the message and/or attachments you may send us, and any other information you may choose to provide. We use this strictly for customer support and service improvement.

The Science of Anonymous Data

We use logarithmic aggregation to analyze site performance. This data is entirely stripped of personal identifiers. We look at broad trends—such as "which dietary template is most popular in North America"—to help us decide which new recipes to add to our library. This high-level analysis helps us improve the mealplannergenerator algorithm while protecting the anonymity of every individual user.

2. Log Files and Analytical Precision

mealplannergenerator follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. All hosting companies do this and a part of hosting services' analytics. The information collected by log files include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of the information is for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users' movement on the website, and gathering demographic information.

How IP Data Protects You

While IP addresses are technically logged, we use this primarily for "Geographic Localization." For example, ensuring that the shopping list measurements default to Metric or Imperial based on your general location. This optimizes your user experience without requiring you to manually enter location details, further reducing the amount of data you need to explicitly share.

3. Cookies and Web Beacons

Like any other website, mealplannergenerator uses "cookies". These cookies are used to store information including visitors' preferences, and the pages on the website that the visitor accessed or visited. The information is used to optimize the users' experience by customizing our web page content based on visitors' browser type and/or other information.

Persistent vs. Session Cookies

We distinguish between session cookies (which disappear the moment you close your tab) and persistent cookies. Our generator uses a specific "User State" cookie that remembers your current meal plan for up to 30 days. This allows you to close your browser and return to your shopping list later without having to regenerate the entire week. You have full control over these via your browser settings.

4. Advertising Partners Privacy Policies

You may consult this list to find the Privacy Policy for each of the advertising partners of mealplannergenerator. Third-party ad servers or ad networks uses technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons that are used in their respective advertisements and links that appear on mealplannergenerator, which are sent directly to users' browser. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. These technologies are used to measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns and/or to personalize the advertising content that you see on websites that you visit.

Note that mealplannergenerator has no access to or control over these cookies that are used by third-party advertisers.

5. Strategic Data Protection (GDPR & CCPA)

We want to make sure you are fully aware of all of your data protection rights. Every user is entitled to the following:

• The right to access – You have the right to request copies of your personal data. We may charge you a small fee for this service.
• The right to rectification – You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate. You also have the right to request that we complete the information you believe is incomplete.
• The right to erasure – You have the right to request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions.
• The right to restrict processing – You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.
• The right to object to processing – You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.
• The right to data portability – You have the right to request that we transfer the data that we have collected to another organization, or directly to you, under certain conditions.

6. Children's Information

Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide their online activity. mealplannergenerator does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. If you think that your child provided this kind of information on our website, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately and we will do our best efforts to promptly remove such information from our records.

7. Online Privacy Policy Only

This Privacy Policy applies only to our online activities and is valid for visitors to our website with regards to the information that they shared and/or collect in mealplannergenerator. This policy is not applicable to any information collected offline or via channels other than this website.
