Look, we get it — nobody loves reading privacy policies. But this one matters, because it explains exactly what we do (and don’t do) with your information when you visit Protifyx.com. We’ve tried to make it as clear and human-friendly as possible.
This Privacy Policy is provided by ELTech Solutions LLC (“we,” “us,” “our”), the company operating Protifyx.com. If you have any questions after reading this, email us at contact@protifyx.com.

3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
We use cookies (small text files stored on your device) to remember your preferences and understand how you use our site. Here’s what we use:
Essential Cookies: Required for the site to function properly (like remembering your cookie preferences).
Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics): We use Google Analytics to track page views, bounce rates, and general user behavior. This helps us understand which recipes people love and which pages need improvement.
Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense): We use Google AdSense to display ads that help keep our site free.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to our website and other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) enables Google and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to Protifyx.com and/or other sites on the internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings at https://www.google.com/settings/ads.
- You may also opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising by visiting https://www.aboutads.info.
Social Media Cookies: If you share our recipes on Pinterest, Facebook, or Instagram, those platforms may use cookies to track the share.
You can disable or manage cookies in your browser settings, and you can adjust your consent preferences at any time using the cookie banner on our site. Some features may not work properly if you disable certain cookies.
4. Third-Party Services We Use
We work with several trusted third-party services to operate our site. Each has its own privacy policy:
Email Service (Mailchimp / ConvertKit): Manages our newsletter subscribers and sends our emails. They only have access to the email addresses you provide.
Analytics (Google Analytics): Tracks website traffic and user behavior to help us improve content.
Advertising (Google AdSense): Displays ads on our site. This network may use cookies to collect data about your browsing in order to show relevant ads, as described in Section 3.
Hosting: Our website is hosted on secure servers. The hosting provider has access to basic server logs but doesn’t actively monitor or use this data.
Social Media Platforms: When you interact with our content on Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, or YouTube, those platforms collect data according to their own privacy policies.
We only work with reputable services. If a third party has a data breach or policy change that concerns us, we’ll review the relationship and notify you if your data is affected.
5. Data Security
We take reasonable security measures to protect your information:
- Our site uses SSL encryption (that’s the “https” in our URL)
- We regularly update our software and security protocols
- Email lists are stored securely with our email service provider
- We limit team access to personal data on a need-to-know basis
That said, no online service is 100% secure. If we ever experience a data breach that affects your information, we’ll notify you and explain what happened and what we’re doing about it.
6. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA Compliance)
If you’re in the European Union (GDPR) or California (CCPA), you have specific rights regarding your personal data. But honestly, we extend these rights to everyone because it’s the right thing to do:
Right to Access: You can request a copy of all personal data we have about you. Email contact@protifyx.com and we’ll respond within 30 days.
Right to Correction: If we have incorrect information about you, let us know and we’ll fix it.
Right to Deletion: Want us to delete your data? Just ask. We’ll remove your email from our newsletter list, delete your comments/reviews, and erase any other personal information we have (except what we’re legally required to keep for accounting purposes).
Right to Opt-Out: You can unsubscribe from our newsletter anytime using the link in every email, or email us directly.
Right to Data Portability: You can request your data in a readable format (like a CSV file) to transfer elsewhere.
Right to Object: You can object to how we process your data for marketing purposes.
To exercise any of these rights, email contact@protifyx.com with “PRIVACY REQUEST” in the subject line. We’ll respond within 30 days (usually much faster).
7. Children’s Privacy
Our site is not directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you’re a parent and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at contact@protifyx.com and we’ll delete it.
8. International Data Transfers
Our servers and service providers are primarily located in the United States. If you’re accessing our site from outside the US, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States. By using our site, you consent to this transfer. We ensure that any international data transfers comply with applicable data protection laws.
9. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers have a “Do Not Track” feature. Currently, there’s no industry standard for how to respond to these signals, so our site doesn’t specifically respond to Do Not Track requests. However, you can control cookies through your browser settings and opt out of targeted advertising through the Network Advertising Initiative or the Digital Advertising Alliance.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this privacy policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make significant changes, we’ll:
- Update the “Effective Date” at the top of this page
- Send an email to our newsletter subscribers explaining what changed
- Post a notice on our homepage for at least 30 days
We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of our site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
