This Privacy Policy explains what information steveyochum.com ("the Site", "we", "us") collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. The Site is a personal portfolio offering free recipes, browser games, a free educational finance class, and similar projects. We aim to collect as little personal information as possible.
| Where | What |
|---|---|
| Feedback & recipe-idea form | Your email address (required), your name (optional), and your message. |
| Money 101 finance class | The name you enter (required) and email (optional) to save and resume your quiz progress and scores. |
| Recipe likes & shares | A record that a recipe was liked or shared (no account needed). |
The Site does not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Specifically:
You can clear this at any time by clearing your browser's site data. Blocking storage will not break the Site, though the finance class may not remember your progress.
We do not sell your personal information. We share limited data only with service providers that help run the Site:
We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the Site's rights and safety.
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above. Short-lived security/rate-limit records are purged automatically (typically within a day). Feedback messages, finance-class progress, and game-session records are retained while they remain useful; you may ask us to delete data associated with you at any time (see your rights below).
Regardless of where you live, you can ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information you've given us, and you can opt out of optional analytics by blocking scripts or local storage in your browser. To make a request, contact us.
You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to processing of your personal data, and the right to data portability. Our legal bases are: consent (where you submit a form), legitimate interests (security, abuse prevention, and basic aggregate analytics), and contract/our service (saving your finance-class progress). You may also lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.
You have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. We do not sell or share your personal information as those terms are defined under California law, and we do not knowingly process the data of minors for such purposes. You will not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. The free games and finance class are designed for teens and adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The finance class only requires a first name (an email is optional), and forms ask only for what is needed to respond to you.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child under 13 has provided us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
We use reputable providers and reasonable safeguards to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. Our providers may process data on servers located outside your country, including the United States.
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
