What’s GDPR All About?
GDPR is a set of rules in the EEA that protects your personal data—like your name, email, or browsing habits. It’s there to make sure companies like us handle your info responsibly and give you control. At NineCalories, we’re all in on keeping your trust, whether you’re reading our recipes or signing up for our newsletter.
Example: When Sarah from Germany signed up for our fitness tips, she wanted to know her data was safe. Thanks to GDPR, we make sure her info is secure and she can manage it anytime!
What Data Do We Collect?
We only collect what we need to make your experience awesome. Here’s the rundown:
- Stuff you share: Like your email when you join our newsletter or your name if you fill out a contact form.
- Stuff we pick up: Things like your IP address, browser type, or which pages you visit, using tools like cookies or Google Analytics.
Why it matters: Knowing you love our workout pages helps us suggest more fitness ideas you’ll enjoy.
For the nitty-gritty, see the “What Information Do We Collect?” section in our Privacy Policy.

- Run and improve our website.

Your GDPR Superpowers
GDPR gives you some serious control over your data. Here’s what you can do:
- Access: Ask to see what data we have about you.
- Correct: Fix any mistakes in your info.
- Delete: Request we erase your data (we’ll keep what the law requires).
- Restrict: Tell us to limit how we use your data.
- Object: Say no to certain uses, like marketing emails.
- Portability: Get a copy of your data to use elsewhere.
- Withdraw Consent: Change your mind if you said yes to something (like newsletters).
- Complain: Reach out to your local data protection authority if you’re not happy.
Example: Mike in Spain emailed us to see his data. We sent him a list of his newsletter sign-up info and deleted it when he asked—easy peasy!
