Your privacy matters to me

Hi! I'm Priyanka, the person behind The Cozy Desi Mom. This privacy policy explains what information I collect when you visit my website, how I use it, and how I keep it safe. I've written this in plain English because legal jargon gives me a headache too.

What information I collect

Information you give me directly:

  • Your name and email address when you subscribe to my newsletter

  • Your name, email, and message when you contact me through the contact form

  • Any comments you leave on blog posts

Information collected automatically:

  • Basic website analytics — like which pages are visited, how long people stay, and what country visitors are from. This helps me understand what content you find useful. I use Squarespace's built-in analytics for this.

  • Cookies — small files stored on your device that help the website function properly (more on this below)

How I use your information

I use your information only to:

  • Send you new blog posts, recipes, and updates if you've subscribed to my newsletter

  • Reply to your messages and emails

  • Understand which content is helpful so I can write more of it

  • Keep the website running properly

I will never sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. Ever.

Cookies

My website uses cookies to function. These are small, harmless files that help the site remember your preferences and load properly. You can turn cookies off in your browser settings, but some parts of the site may not work as well.

Newsletter & email

If you subscribe to my newsletter:

  • You'll only receive emails from me — no spam, no third-party promotions

  • You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any email

  • I use Squarespace Email Campaigns to send newsletters. Your email is stored securely on their platform.

Third-party services

My website is hosted on Squarespace, which has its own privacy policy. If you'd like to know how Squarespace handles data, you can read their policy at squarespace.com/privacy.

I may also use:

  • Google Analytics — to understand website traffic (anonymized data only)

  • Instagram — if you follow me or engage with my posts there, Instagram's own privacy policy applies.

Your rights

You have the right to:

  • Ask what personal information I hold about you

  • Request that I delete your information

  • Unsubscribe from my emails at any time

To make any of these requests, just email me at thecozydesi@gmail.com and I'll take care of it promptly.

Children's privacy

My blog is intended for adults. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted information to my site, please contact me and I will delete it immediately.

Changes to this policy

If I ever update this privacy policy, I'll post the new version on this page with an updated date at the top. I'll always keep it simple and honest.
