Loaf & Lore (“we,” “our,” or “us”) values your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website, make a reservation or order request, or engage with our content.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information in several ways:
a. Information You Provide
When you make a reservation, an order, subscribe to emails, or contact us, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, pickup details, and preferred payment method.
If you subscribe to our newsletter through Hostinger Reach, we store your email and name (if provided) for communication and marketing purposes.
b. Automatically Collected Data
Through Google Site Kit (which includes Google Analytics and Search Console), we collect:
- Device and browser information
- IP address (anonymized where possible)
- Pages visited and time spent on the site
- Referral sources and general geographic location (not precise)
This helps us understand how visitors use our website and improve content and usability.
c. Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Maintain your browsing and cart experience in WooCommerce
- Analyze traffic via Google Analytics
- Track affiliate links for Amazon Associates
You can manage or disable cookies in your browser settings, though some site features may not function properly without them.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Process and confirm reservation or order requests
- Send updates and respond to inquiries
- Improve our website performance and user experience
- Share updates, recipes, and promotions (only if you opt in)

3. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell or rent personal information. However, we share limited data with trusted partners for specific functions:
- WooCommerce for displaying product listings and managing order inquiries
- Hostinger Reach for managing newsletters and marketing campaigns
- Google for analytics and performance tracking
- Amazon Associates for affiliate link tracking and commission reporting
These services only access the data needed to perform their tasks and are required to protect it.
4. Affiliate Disclosure
Loaf & Lore participates in the Amazon Associates Program, which allows us to earn small commissions from qualifying purchases. These links use cookies to track referrals but do not store personal data beyond what Amazon collects under its own privacy policy.

- Unsubscribe from our marketing emails at any time
To make a request, contact us at Mel@loafandlore.com.
7. Data Security
We use SSL encryption and trusted hosting through Hostinger to protect data during transmission and storage. However, no online method is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Children’s Privacy
Our site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors.
9. Updates to This Policy
