Privacy Policy
Effective date: 6 November 2026
Who we are
Belly Full of Happiness is a food, recipe and editorial website operated by Nidhi Soin Solanki. Our website address is https://bellyfulofhappiness.com/.
For privacy questions, requests or complaints, contact bellyfulofhappiness@gmail.com. Please do not include passwords, payment details or information that is not needed to handle your request.
What information we collect
We collect information that you choose to provide and information generated when you use the website.
If you contact us through the Contact form, we may collect your name, email address, message and any other information you include. We use that information to respond to your enquiry, keep a record of correspondence and protect the website from abuse. Contact-form entries may be stored in the WordPress database and may also be delivered by email to the configured site recipient.
If you leave a comment, we may collect the information shown in the comment form, your IP address and browser user-agent information for spam detection and moderation. If you use Gravatar, an anonymised string created from your email address may be sent to that service to check whether you use it. After a comment is approved, your profile image may be visible beside the comment.
If you create or use an administrator or other account, we collect the account information needed to provide that access. Public visitor registration is currently disabled.
We may collect technical information such as IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP address, dates and times of visits, and information about interactions with the website. Some of this information is collected through server logs, security tools, caching, cookies and analytics services.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the website to operate, remember preferences, protect forms and accounts, manage consent, maintain security, and improve performance through caching and image optimisation.
The site may use Google Analytics through tools including MonsterInsights and Google Site Kit, subject to configuration and consent controls. These tools may collect information about visits, page views, traffic sources, device information and interactions. Google explains its Analytics privacy disclosure requirements in its Analytics privacy disclosure guidance.
Third-party content, such as embedded videos, social content, maps or other external media, may set cookies or collect information when loaded or interacted with. You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where available, the website’s consent controls. Disabling some cookies may affect website functionality.
How we use information
We may use personal information to provide and maintain the website; respond to enquiries; publish and moderate comments; administer accounts and website security; detect spam, fraud, abuse and technical problems; understand website use and improve recipes, content and user experience; measure marketing and audience growth where tools are enabled; comply with legal obligations; and protect our rights.
We do not sell personal information as a standalone data product. If the website later introduces advertising, affiliate tracking, sponsorship campaigns, newsletter services, competitions, digital products or other commercial activities, this policy will be updated to describe the relevant information handling where required.
How we disclose information
We may disclose information to service providers that help us operate the website, including hosting, website security, spam prevention, form delivery, email, analytics, consent management, caching, image optimisation and embedded-content providers.
Depending on the services enabled, these providers may include Bluehost or its hosting-service providers, Google Analytics or Google Site Kit services, Automattic/Jetpack services, CookieYes or related consent tools, WPForms or WordPress components, spam-prevention services, and providers of embedded media.
We may also disclose information where required or authorised by law, to protect the website or another person from harm, or as part of a business transfer such as a sale, restructuring or acquisition. Some service providers may process information outside Australia.
Recipe content, images and embedded material
Recipe pages may include photographs, videos, social links, embedded media and recipe-structured data. Interacting with embedded content may allow the relevant third party to collect information in the same way as if you visited its service directly.
Please do not submit personal information about another person through a form or comment unless you are authorised to do so.
How long we keep information
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to maintain business and security records, or to meet legal obligations.
Ordinary contact-form enquiries are intended to be reviewed for deletion after 12 months, unless the enquiry is part of an ongoing relationship, dispute, transaction, legal obligation or security investigation. Comments and their metadata may be retained while the related content remains published or while needed for moderation and security. Analytics retention is controlled by the relevant analytics account settings.
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical and organisational measures to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
If we become aware of a data breach that requires notification under applicable law, we will follow the relevant notification requirements.
Access, correction and deletion requests
You may ask us to access or correct personal information we hold about you. In some circumstances, you may also ask us to delete information, subject to legal, security, record-keeping and operational exceptions.
To make a request, contact bellyfulofhappiness@gmail.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding. We aim to respond within a reasonable period and will explain any limitation or refusal where required.
Complaints
If you have a privacy concern, contact us first at bellyfulofhappiness@gmail.com so we can investigate and try to resolve it.
If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
The Australian Privacy Principles are described by the OAIC at Australian Privacy Principles.
External links
The website may link to third-party websites, services, social platforms, retailers or other resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content or security of those third parties. Review their privacy policies before providing information or using their services.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our website, services, technology, business activities or legal obligations change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
