We do not sell products through the Website, do not operate affiliate programs, and do not use affiliate links on the Website. The primary personal information we collect is information you voluntarily provide when you subscribe to our newsletter or contact us.

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will use your email address to send you recipe updates, blog news, and other content related to Dish Valley. You may unsubscribe at any time by following the unsubscribe link included in our emails or by contacting us directly at [email protected].
We may use a third-party email service provider to manage newsletter delivery and subscriber lists. If we do, that provider will process your email address on our behalf and only for the purpose of sending communications related to the Website.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
The Website may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to support basic site functionality, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use the site. Cookies may also be used by analytics tools or embedded services that help us improve the Website.
You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. If you disable cookies, some parts of the Website may not function properly.
Analytics and Performance Tools
We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with the Website, which pages are most popular, and how users navigate the site. These tools may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and browsing behavior on the Website.
Analytics data helps us improve recipes, site structure, and user experience. Where required, we will use analytics in a manner consistent with applicable privacy and consent requirements.
How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information in the following circumstances:
- Service providers: With trusted vendors that help us operate the Website, send emails, host content, or analyze traffic.
- Legal compliance: If required to do so by law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or other legal process.
- Business protection: To protect our rights, safety, users, or the Website from fraud, abuse, or security threats.
Any third-party service providers are expected to use personal information only as necessary to perform services on our behalf.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. For example, we may retain newsletter subscription records until you unsubscribe, and we may retain correspondence for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry and maintain business records.
Your Privacy Rights
California Privacy Rights Under CCPA
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), may give you certain rights regarding your personal information. Subject to applicable exceptions, these rights may include:
- The right to know what personal information we collect, use, disclose, and retain.
- The right to request access to the personal information we hold about you.
- The right to request deletion of your personal information.
- The right to correct inaccurate personal information.
- The right to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information, if applicable.
- The right to be free from discrimination for exercising your privacy rights.
Because Dish Valley does not sell personal information and does not use affiliate services, we do not engage in the sale of personal information as that term is commonly understood under the CCPA. If that changes in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy accordingly.

Security
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to help protect the personal information we collect. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
