Privacy Policy

Your privacy is very important to us. At Crazy From Scratch we have a few fundamental principles that we follow:

  • We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
  • We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
  • We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of our site.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Crazy From Scratch collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Crazy From Scratch’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Crazy From Scratch’s visitors use its website.

Crazy From Scratch also collects potentially personally-identifying information like name and email address for things like leaving comments on our blogs or signing up for updates via email. Crazy From Scratch only uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to crazyfromscratch.com choose to interact with Crazy From Scratch in ways that require Crazy From Scratch to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Crazy From Scratch gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide name and email address. Those who wish to receive Crazy From Scratch updates via email, we collect their names and emails via MailChimp. In each case, Crazy From Scratch collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Crazy From Scratch. Crazy From Scratch does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
