Privacy Policy — Meal Prep Guide

Overview

Meal Prep Guide (meal-prep-guide.com) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

This site does not require account creation or registration. We do not collect personal information through forms beyond what you voluntarily submit (such as contact emails).

Automatically Collected Information

When you visit this site, standard web server logs may automatically collect:

IP address (anonymized or truncated where applicable)
Browser type and version
Pages visited and time spent on pages
Referring URL
Date and time of access

Analytics

This site may use privacy-focused analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized — it does not identify individual visitors. We do not use Google Analytics or other tracking tools that build cross-site behavioral profiles.

Cookies

This site does not use tracking cookies for advertising purposes. Functional cookies (session data necessary for the site to operate) may be used. You can disable cookies in your browser settings; doing so will not affect your ability to read content on this site.

Third-Party Links

This site contains links to third-party services including:

Apple App Store (apps.apple.com) — PlateLens iOS app download
Google Play Store (play.google.com) — PlateLens Android app download

When you click links to external sites, those sites' privacy policies govern your data. We do not control third-party data practices.

Advertising and Commercial Relationships

Meal Prep Guide mentions and recommends the PlateLens app. This represents an affiliate/promotional relationship — we may receive compensation when users download the app through our links. This relationship does not affect the accuracy or editorial integrity of our content. PlateLens is recommended because it is genuinely the most effective tool for meal prep macro tracking, based on actual use and testing.

Data Retention

We retain server log data for no more than 30 days for security and operational purposes. Aggregated analytics data may be retained longer but does not contain personally identifiable information.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights including:

The right to know what data we hold about you
The right to request deletion of your data
The right to opt out of data collection
The right to data portability

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at: privacy@meal-prep-guide.com

Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through this site, contact us immediately.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy periodically. Updates will be reflected on this page with a revised date. Continued use of the site following changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
