Plant Based Minutes (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the rights you have over your information.

This policy applies to plantbasedminutes.com and any related services we operate.

Information We Collect

Email address

When you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address. Providing your email address is voluntary — you choose to share it with us in exchange for our weekly plant-based tips and recipes.

Usage analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. Cloudflare’s analytics are privacy-first and cookieless — they do not use cookies, do not track you across sites, and do not collect personally identifiable information. The data we receive is aggregated (page views, referrers, device types) and cannot be used to identify individual visitors. For more information, see Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy.

How We Use Your Information

  • Newsletter communications: We use your email address to send you our weekly plant-based tips, recipes, and updates. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in any email we send.
  • Service improvement: Aggregated analytics data helps us understand what content is most useful and improve the site experience.
  • Legal compliance: We may retain records as required by applicable law.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may process data on our behalf:

  • Cloudflare Web Analytics — cookieless, privacy-preserving analytics. No personal data is collected. Cloudflare Privacy Policy →
  • Email marketing provider — we use a third-party email service provider to send newsletter communications. Your email address is stored with this provider to deliver emails. This provider is contractually bound to protect your data and may not use it for their own marketing purposes.
  • Google Fonts — we load fonts from Google Fonts, which may log basic request data (IP address, browser type) for delivery and abuse prevention. Google Privacy Policy →

Cookies

We do not use advertising cookies or tracking cookies. Our site uses session-related technical cookies strictly necessary for functionality (such as keeping you logged in if you have an account). Cloudflare Web Analytics does not set any cookies.

Data Retention

We retain your email address for as long as you remain subscribed to our newsletter. When you unsubscribe, your email address is removed from our active mailing list. We may retain suppression records (unsubscribe records) for a limited period to honour your opt-out preferences.
