Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit https://meaningfulmacros.com.
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://meaningfulmacros.com. This site is owned and operated by Meaningful Macros, a U.S.-based fitness and nutrition blog focused on high-protein meal prep recipes and macro-friendly lifestyle content.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string (a “hash”) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at automattic.com/privacy. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from images.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience and will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will determine if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
Upon logging in, we’ll set up several cookies to save your login info and screen preferences. Login cookies last for two days; display option cookies last for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” will persist your login for two weeks. Logging out will remove these cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. It contains no personal data and simply shows the post ID of the edited article. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other sites behaves in the exact same way as if you visited the other site directly.
These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content—especially if you have an account and are logged in to that site.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. Otherwise, we do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties except where legally required.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, it and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments.
For registered users (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. All users can see, edit, or delete their information at any time—except usernames. Admins can also see and edit that data.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold, including any data you’ve given us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This excludes any data we must retain for administrative, legal, or security reasons.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
