Last Updated: March 6, 2025

Welcome to Buttercut! Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit buttercut.org

What Information Do We Collect?

At Buttercut, we collect two types of information:

Information You Provide: When you subscribe to our emails, or leave comments, you may choose to share your name or email address.
General Website Data: Like most websites, we use tools that help us understand how visitors interact with our site. This includes things like which pages are visited most often and what type of device is being used. This helps us improve Buttercut and create a better experience for you.

You’re always welcome to browse Buttercut without providing personal details, but some features (like subscribing or commenting) may require basic information.

Any information you share with Buttercut helps us make your experience better. Here’s how we use it:

To Personalize Your Experience: Knowing what interests our readers helps us create content you’ll love.
To Improve Our Website: We use feedback and general site data to make Buttercut more helpful, user-friendly, and enjoyable.
To Respond to You: If you reach out with a question or comment, your information helps us reply and provide better support.

We respect your privacy and only use your information to enhance your experience with Buttercut, never for anything unrelated to what you signed up for!

Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) Compliance

Protecting the privacy of children is important to us. Buttercut does not knowingly collect or store any personal information from children under the age of 13. If we discover that we have unintentionally collected data from a child under 13, we will take immediate steps to delete it.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information on our site, please contact us at pbuttercut@gmail.com, and we will remove the information as soon as possible.

Signing Up to Receive Email Newsletters

When you subscribe to Buttercut’s email list, you’ll receive one email per week featuring new recipes, baking tips, and updates from our site. Your email is used only for newsletter purposes and is never shared or sold to third parties.

By signing up, you consent to storing and processing your data to receive these emails. Your email is securely stored with our email service provider, which has measures in place to protect your personal information.

If you ever decide to unsubscribe, simply click the “unsubscribe” button at the bottom or top of any email, or reach out to us at pbuttercut@gmail.com, and we’ll remove you from the list. If you’d like your data completely erased, you can request that too.

Comments Policy

We love hearing from you! Comments are a great way to share feedback, ask questions, and connect with the Buttercut community. To keep this a safe and enjoyable space, please follow these guidelines:

Only enter your personal details in the required fields when leaving a comment. Your email and full name will not be publicly visible, and there’s no need to include it within the comment itself.
Do not share personal information such as phone numbers, addresses, or sensitive details in the comment section, as this is a public space.
Be respectful and keep discussions friendly and relevant to the recipe or post. Spam, offensive language, or inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated.
Stay on topic to ensure the comment section remains helpful for all readers.

We reserve the right to moderate, edit, or remove any comments that do not follow these guidelines. If you have a private question, feel free to reach out via pbuttercut@gmail.com instead.
