Privacy Policy

We collect only the information needed to run the site and send the newsletter:

• Email address — when you sign up for our newsletter through the site or modal.
• Basic usage data — such as pages visited, browser type, device type, and general location (country/region), collected through analytics tools.
• Communications — if you email us directly, we receive whatever information you choose to include in your message.

We do not collect passwords, payment details, or other account credentials because we do not offer logins or checkout on the site today.

We use collected information to:

• Send newsletter emails you requested, including new recipes, blog posts, and site updates.
• Operate, maintain, and improve the website.
• Understand aggregate traffic and content performance through analytics.
• Respond to questions or requests you send to hello@chilledsips.com.

We do not sell your personal information.

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we store your email address so we can send you messages you opted into. Every newsletter includes an unsubscribe link. You may also contact us at hello@chilledsips.com to be removed from the list. Once you unsubscribe, we will stop sending marketing emails, though we may retain a record of your unsubscribe request to honor your preference.

We use cookies and similar browser storage for limited site functionality and analytics:

• Age verification — when you confirm you are of legal drinking age, we store a cookie on your device so we do not ask again on future visits. This cookie does not identify you and is not shared with third parties.
• Analytics — Vercel Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to collect anonymous, aggregated usage data that helps us understand how visitors use the site.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may require you to confirm your age again on each visit and may affect analytics, but will not prevent you from reading public content once you have entered the site.

We use trusted service providers to operate the site. These may include:

• Vercel — website hosting and analytics.
• Email delivery providers — to send newsletter messages to subscribers.

These providers process data on our behalf and only as needed to provide their services. Recipe and blog pages may also link to third-party websites (such as social networks or affiliate partners). Those sites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their practices.

We keep newsletter email addresses for as long as you remain subscribed. Analytics data is retained according to our analytics provider's policies. If you contact us by email, we may keep correspondence as long as needed to respond and maintain our records.

You can:

• Unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in any email.
• Contact us to ask what information we hold about you or to request deletion of your newsletter subscription.
• Adjust cookie settings in your browser.

CHilledsips is intended for adults of legal drinking age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 21 in the United States, or under the legal drinking age in their jurisdiction. If you believe a minor has provided us with their email address, please contact us and we will delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
