Overview of Our Privacy Approach
Tasty Shreds is a straightforward and user-friendly recipe site. We don’t require user accounts and we don’t actively gather personal data from you. Because of this, your information isn't ever shared or sold.
That said, some data might be passively collected by third-party tools we use. These tools enhance your experience by analyzing site interactions, customizing ads, or embedding video content. This privacy policy provides transparency on these practices to show how we protect your data and respect your privacy while using Tasty Shreds.
