Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 13, 2026

Information We Collect

When you visit BBQ Tri Tip, we may collect certain information automatically, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages viewed. We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site.

Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to analyze site traffic and understand how visitors use our content. Google Analytics places cookies on your browser to collect anonymous usage data. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Recipe Ratings

When you rate a recipe, we store your star rating along with a one-way hashed identifier so that each visitor counts once and can change their rating. To prevent abuse, we also keep a temporary hashed version of your IP address; the raw address is never stored and the hash cannot be reversed to identify you. We do not collect your name, email, or any other personal detail to accept a rating.

Email Newsletter

If you sign up for our newsletter, we collect your email address and a tag for where on the site you signed up. We use Kit (kit.com) as our email service provider, which means your email address is stored and processed by Kit on our behalf so we can send you the newsletter. We do not use it for anything else, and we do not sell or share it. Every email includes an unsubscribe link; unsubscribing removes you from the list, and you can also contact us to have your address deleted entirely.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to improve our recipes, guides, and overall site experience. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Third-Party Services

Our site may contain links to third-party websites, products, or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information collected through our site. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children’s Privacy

BBQ Tri Tip is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
