Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 26, 2026

​​

1. Overview

​

Welcome to Silan & Sesame (“we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains how this recipe blog handles information when you visit our website.

​

This blog does not collect personal information from visitors simply by browsing the Site. Comments and ratings are disabled. If you choose to use our contact form, we collect the limited information described in Section 6 below.

​

2. Information We Do Not Collect Automatically

​

Because comments and user accounts are disabled, simply browsing this Site does not involve us collecting:

• Your name, email address, or any contact information (unless you voluntarily provide it through our contact form, see Section 6)

• Account credentials or profile data

• User-generated content such as comments or reviews
   

3. Information Collected Automatically

​

While we do not collect personal information directly, our hosting provider may collect certain technical data automatically when you visit the site.

​

3a. Wix Analytics (Hosting Provider)

​

This site is hosted on Wix. When you visit, Wix may automatically collect technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on pages. We use Wix's built-in analytics to understand general traffic patterns; we do not have access to personally identifiable information through this tool. Wix processes this data under its own Privacy Policy, available at wix.com/about/privacy.

​

4. Cookies

​

We do not set any analytics or tracking cookies of our own. Wix, as our hosting platform, may place cookies it considers necessary for the site to function. Please refer to Wix's cookie disclosures for details on what it sets and why.

​

5. International Visitors (Including EU/UK/EEA)

​

This blog is a small, independently run personal project operated from the United States. If you access the site from the European Union, United Kingdom, or elsewhere outside the U.S., please note that technical data such as your IP address may be treated as personal data under laws like the GDPR. Our legal basis for this limited, automatic processing (via Wix Analytics) is our legitimate interest in understanding general site traffic. We do not use this data for profiling, marketing, or any purpose beyond basic traffic patterns. If you have questions or requests regarding this data, please use the contact information below, though as the data is processed by Wix on our behalf, some requests may need to be directed to Wix directly.

​

6. Contact Form

​

If you choose to use the contact form on this Site, we collect the information you submit through it: your first name and email address and message (required), and your last name (optional, if you choose to include it).

​

What we use it for: solely to read and respond to your message. We do not use contact form submissions for marketing, advertising, or any purpose beyond replying to you.

​

Where it goes: submissions are delivered to a private inbox managed through our hosting provider (Wix) and are accessible only to the owner of this Site. They are not sold, shared with third parties, or connected to any other data collected automatically through this Site, such as analytics.

​

How long we keep it: we retain submissions only as long as needed to respond to your message and for a reasonable period afterward in case of follow-up, after which they may be deleted. You may request that we delete your submission at any time by contacting us.

​

7. Third-Party Links

​

Our recipes may include links to third-party websites (for example, ingredient suppliers or kitchen tools). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

​

8. Children's Privacy

​

This site is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.

​

9. Contact

​

Questions about this Privacy Policy can be sent using this contact form. This inbox is monitored for site-related matters only.

​

10. Changes to This Policy

​

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
