Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Hearth & Thyme operates and outlines our absolute commitment to user privacy.

1. Static Architecture & No Personal Data Collection

Hearth & Thyme is a purely static website hosted on Cloudflare Pages. We do not require account registration, user logins, payment processing, or comment submissions. We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or physical addresses unless you voluntarily send an email to our contact address.

2. Cookies and Tracking

This website does not utilize advertising cookies, behavioral tracking pixels, third-party analytics trackers, or fingerprinting scripts. We do not sell, rent, or monetize personal information.

3. Local Device Storage

Any interactive controls on this website (such as marking ingredients off a recipe checklist or switching between US Customary and Metric units) operate purely on your local browser session using standard DOM manipulation. No personal preference data is transmitted to external servers.

4. Hosting Infrastructure

Our pages are served via Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may process basic network connection metadata (such as IP addresses and HTTP request headers) solely for the technical transmission of web assets, DDoS mitigation, and edge caching, in accordance with Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.

5. Updates

If we ever introduce optional features requiring data processing (such as a newsletter subscription), this policy will be updated transparently before such features become active.
