Privacy & Cookie Policy

This policy explains what choosemeals.com (“ChooseMeals,” “we,” “us”) collects, how we use it, the cookies we use, and the choices you have. choosemeals.com is operated by KarKawa LLC. By using the site, you agree to this policy.

Information we collect

We keep data collection to a minimum.

• Information you give us: your email address, if you subscribe to our newsletter (“The Weekly Drop”).
• Information collected automatically: standard usage and device data such as pages viewed, the site that referred you, approximate location, and browser type, gathered through cookies and similar technologies; and server logs (including IP address and timestamps) used to operate and secure the site.
• Affiliate click data: when you click an outbound brand link, we and our affiliate partners may record that the click happened so any resulting referral can be credited. We do not collect or store your payment information. Purchases happen on the brand’s own website under the brand’s policies.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. This site is intended for adults and is not directed to anyone under 16.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies for three purposes:

• Strictly necessary: to make the site work. These cannot be switched off.
• Analytics: to understand traffic and improve the site. We use Google Analytics 4 through Google Tag Manager.
• Marketing: to measure and improve our affiliate and email programs, and potentially advertising pixels (such as Meta) in the future.

Where required, we ask for your consent through a cookie banner before setting analytics and marketing cookies, and we apply your choices through Google Consent Mode. You can change your choices at any time using the banner or your browser settings.

How we use information

• To operate, secure, and improve the site.
• To send the newsletter you signed up for (you can unsubscribe in one click).
• To measure affiliate referrals and overall site performance in aggregate.
• To comply with law and enforce our terms.

We do not sell your personal information for money.

Who we share information with

We share limited information with service providers that process it on our behalf, including:

• Google (analytics and tag management),
• Klaviyo (email newsletter delivery),
• Vercel (hosting), Cloudflare (security and content delivery), and Sanity (content management),
• Affiliate networks and brands, to credit referrals.

These providers handle data under their own privacy policies. We may also disclose information when required by law or to protect our rights and users.

Your California privacy rights

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended) gives you the right to:

• Know what personal information we collect and how we use it.
• Request access to, or deletion of, your personal information.
• Correct inaccurate personal information.
• Opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information.

We do not sell personal information for money. Some analytics and advertising cookies may count as “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising under California law. You can opt out using our cookie banner, and we honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal where required. To make any request, email us at [email protected]. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

Data retention and security

We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purposes above (for example, until you unsubscribe), then delete or anonymize it. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, though no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Links to other sites

Our site links to brand and partner websites we do not control. Their privacy practices are their own; please review their policies before sharing information with them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the current version, and material changes will be posted here.
