Welcome to CollegeMealSaver.com!
Hi there, and thanks for visiting College Meal Saver. I’m Larrouy Kary, the creator of this site and a former college student who learned to eat well on a tight budget. I want you to enjoy your time here knowing that your privacy is respected and your data is protected. This policy explains, in clear language, what information is collected and how it’s used in line with general privacy standards (including the GDPR for EU visitors) and the requirements of partners such as Google AdSense and Ezoic.
Information We Collect
- Personal data you provide: If you leave a comment or fill out a contact form, I collect your name and email address so I can reply or engage in the comments.
- Usage data: I use tools like Google Analytics and Ezoic to gather anonymous statistics—pages visited, device type, time spent, etc.—to help me understand what’s working and how to improve. These tools may use cookies or similar technologies and can include information like your IP address.
- No sensitive information: I never collect sensitive data such as payment details or physical addresses unless you choose to share them with me.
How Your Information Is Used
- To respond to your messages or comments.
- To analyse site performance and see which recipes are popular.
- To serve relevant ads through Google AdSense and Ezoic (if active).
I don’t sell or trade your personal information. Some data is processed by trusted third‑party partners like my hosting provider, Google Analytics, AdSense and Ezoic, solely for technical or performance reasons, under strict privacy terms. If I ever start a newsletter, I’ll ask for your explicit consent and you can unsubscribe at any time.
Cookies and Tracking
Like a good recipe, this site runs better with a few essential ingredients—cookies! These small files stored on your browser help me:
- Understand how visitors use the site.
- Improve the user experience and layout.
- Display more relevant ads (if applicable).
You can manage or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking them won’t break the site, but some features (like ads or preferences) may not work as expected. By continuing to use this site, you consent to the use of cookies unless you opt out.
Ezoic Partnership
This site partners with Ezoic for advertising and site optimisation. Ezoic may use cookies and collect certain data (such as IP address or browser information) to personalise ads and improve performance. You can read Ezoic’s own privacy policy here: https://g.ezoic.net/privacy/collegemealsaver.com.
Consent Management
For visitors in the EU or UK, a consent management platform (CMP) is used to comply with data‑protection regulations. When you first visit, you’ll see a consent banner that lets you accept or decline cookies and tracking for analytics and advertising. You can change your preferences at any time via the link in the footer.
Your Rights
Regardless of where you live, you have certain rights over your data, including:
- Requesting access to the information I have collected.
- Asking for your personal information to be corrected or deleted.
- Objecting to certain uses of your data.
- Requesting a copy of your data.
To exercise any of these rights, just send me a message through the contact page: https://collegemealsaver.com/contact. I’ll respond as soon as possible (usually within a few days).
Data Security
Your data is stored securely with my hosting provider’s safeguards (encryption, monitoring, etc.). While no system is 100 % hack‑proof, I take reasonable steps to protect your information. I keep data only as long as necessary—comments stay live unless you request removal, and emails are deleted once our conversation is finished. If there’s ever a security issue affecting your information, I’ll notify you quickly and explain what’s being done.
Third‑Party Services
CollegeMealSaver.com may include links or tools from other trusted platforms, such as:
- Google Analytics – to understand website traffic.
- Google AdSense and Ezoic – to display advertisements.
- Social media buttons – to connect you with Instagram, Pinterest, etc.
These services may collect data through cookies or tracking technology under their own policies. I do not control how they operate, so please review their privacy policies for more information.
Amazon Affiliate Disclosure
CollegeMealSaver.com participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon.com.
Policy Updates
As the site evolves (just like your cooking skills!), this privacy policy may be updated. I’ll always post the latest version here with a new “Last Updated” date. Major changes will be highlighted on the homepage when necessary. By continuing to browse after an update, you agree to the new version—so it’s a good idea to check in from time to time.
