Privacy Policy
Last Updated: March 16, 2026
At Crave Protein Cafe, we are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of our visitors. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data.
1. Who We Are
Our website address is: https://craveproteincafe.com. This policy applies to all visitors, registered users, and customers of our platform.
2. Information We Collect Automatically
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies to improve your experience and support our marketing efforts:
- Essential Cookies: For site functionality, such as login sessions (2 days) and screen display preferences (1 year).
- Temporary Cookies: Set on our login page to determine browser compatibility; these contain no personal data and are discarded when the browser closes.
- Engagement Cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name and email for convenience. These last for one year.
Embedded Content
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor has visited the other website. These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interaction.
3. Advertising, Hashing, and Cross-Device Tracking
To provide a seamless experience across all your devices, we utilize third-party advertising services, including AdRoll and its affiliates.
- Hashed Identifiers: When you provide your email address to us (via newsletter sign-up or checkout), we use a one-way cryptographic hash to de-identify this information before sharing it with AdRoll.
- Cross-Device Linking: This “fingerprint” allows AdRoll to recognize you across different browsers and devices (e.g., matching your mobile activity to your laptop) without storing your actual email address.
- Behavioral Data: We collect information on pages visited, products viewed, IP addresses, and engagement with our advertisements on mobile apps and Connected TV (CTV).
4. How We Use and Share Your Data
- Spam Detection: Visitor comments are checked through an automated spam detection service.
- Gravatar: An anonymized hash of your email may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it (view their privacy policy at https://automattic.com/privacy/).
- Password Resets: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
5. Data Retention and Your Rights
- Retention: Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely. For registered users, we store the personal information provided in their user profile.
- Your Rights: You can request an export of the personal data we hold about you or request that we erase it. This excludes data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
6. Your Opt-Out Options
We honor your right to privacy and provide the following ways to opt out of targeted tracking:
- AdRoll Preferences: Manage your settings at the AdRoll Privacy Center.
- Industry Opt-Outs: Visit the DAA WebChoices Tool or the NAI Opt-Out Page.
- Global Privacy Control: We honor “Do Not Track” and GPC signals where required by law.
