Last updated: October 27, 2026

Who we are

DKG Creations Kitchen is a recipe and kitchen information website operated by Deborah Griffin under the DKG Creations brand. Our website address is https://kitchen.dkgcreations.com. If you have questions about this privacy policy or how your information is handled, email kitchen@dkgcreations.com.

Contact form

When you use our contact form, we receive the name, email address, and message you provide. We use this information to respond to your inquiry. Messages are delivered through our email services and received in our Gmail inbox. Contacting us does not subscribe you to a newsletter. Please do not include sensitive personal information in your message.

Comments

When you leave a comment or submit a recipe review through the comment form, we collect the information you enter, including your name, email address, comment, and any rating you provide. WordPress also records your IP address and browser information to help identify spam. Comments are reviewed before publication. Once approved, your display name, comment, and any accompanying recipe rating are publicly visible. Your email address is not displayed publicly.

If you leave a comment, a coded version of your email address (called a hash) may be sent to Gravatar to check whether you have a profile image. If an image is available, it may appear publicly beside your approved comment. Gravatar is provided by Automattic. You can read its privacy policy at https://automattic.com/privacy/.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies by checking the box on the comment form. These cookies make commenting more convenient by remembering your details for a future visit. They last for one year.

WordPress also uses cookies when authorized users visit the login page, sign in, or edit content. These support login sessions and administrative preferences. Visitors do not need an account to browse recipes or submit comments.

Embedded content from other websites

If a page includes embedded content from another website, such as a video, that service may collect information about your visit, use cookies, and track your interaction with the content. If you are signed in to that service, it may associate that activity with your account. The provider’s own privacy policy applies to its handling of that information.

Who we share your data with

We use Hostinger to host this website and provide email services, and Gmail to receive and respond to contact messages. These providers process information as needed to provide their services. If you leave a comment, Gravatar may also process information as described above.

How long we retain your data

Approved comments and their associated information are generally retained unless we remove them or receive a deletion request that we can fulfill. Contact messages may be kept for correspondence and reference, then deleted when no longer needed.

What rights you have over your data

You can contact kitchen@dkgcreations.com to request a copy of, correction to, or deletion of personal information you have provided through comments or the contact form. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request. Some information may need to be retained for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Information submitted through this website is processed by the hosting, email, and other service providers described in this policy. Depending on the provider, information may be processed or stored outside your state or country.
