Privacy Policy

Introduction

Mr. Kitchen Adviser (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates Mr. Kitchen Adviser, an independent, reader-supported blog that tests kitchen products and publishes honest buying guides. We have been testing tools in our own home test kitchen since 2024, and we care about your privacy the same way we care about our reviews: no tricks, no fine-print surprises.

This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect when you visit our website, read our articles, sign up for our newsletter, or contact us. By using the site, you agree to the collection and use of information as described here. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the site.

Information we collect

We collect two broad kinds of information: information you choose to give us, and information that is collected automatically as you browse.

Information you provide to us. When you subscribe to our newsletter or reach out through our contact page, you may share details such as your name and email address, along with the contents of any message you send. You only provide this information when you choose to.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we and our service providers automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, including your device type, browser, operating system, approximate location derived from your IP address, the pages you view, the links you click, and the dates and times of your visits. This information is gathered through cookies and similar technologies described below.

Cookies & similar technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites function and remember preferences. We use cookies, along with similar technologies such as pixels and local storage, to keep the site working properly, remember your choices, understand how the site is used, and support the affiliate links that fund our work.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies and warn you before new ones are set. Please note that if you disable cookies, some parts of the site may not work as intended. For more detail on managing cookies, consult your browser’s help documentation.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use Mr. Kitchen Adviser. Analytics tools measure information such as which pages are most popular, how long readers stay, which links they click, and the general region and device they visit from. We use this to improve our guides and site experience, not to identify you personally.

If you would prefer not to be included in analytics measurement, you can opt out through the provider’s available tools or browser add-ons, and through the cookie controls described above.

Advertising & affiliate links

Mr. Kitchen Adviser is supported by affiliate commissions, which means we may earn a commission when you buy a product through one of our links, at no extra cost to you. We participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program (Amazon Associates). When you click an affiliate link, the affiliate network may set cookies or use similar technologies to attribute the referral and any resulting purchase.

We do not accept paid placements or sponsored rankings; our recommendations reflect real hands-on testing. To learn more about how these links work and how we stay independent, please read our affiliate disclosure.

How we use your information

We use the information we collect to operate and maintain the site, deliver our newsletter and respond to your inquiries, understand and improve how our content performs, attribute affiliate referrals, protect against fraud and abuse, and comply with our legal obligations. We do not use your information to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only in the limited circumstances described here:

Service providers. We work with trusted vendors who help us run the site, such as our hosting, email, and analytics providers. They may process information on our behalf and are expected to protect it and use it only for the services they provide to us.
Legal and safety. We may disclose information when required by law, to respond to lawful requests, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our readers, our team, or the public.
Business transfers. If our business is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this policy.

Third-party links & sites

Our articles frequently link to retailers, manufacturers, and other websites. Once you leave Mr. Kitchen Adviser, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party sites, and we encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you visit.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information.

EEA and UK (GDPR). If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal data, to object to certain processing, and to data portability. You may also withdraw consent at any time and lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Legal bases for processing (EEA/UK). Where the GDPR applies, we rely on the following lawful grounds: your consent (for example, to send our newsletter and to set non-essential cookies), which you may withdraw at any time; our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving the site, measuring analytics, and attributing affiliate referrals, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights; and compliance with a legal obligation where the law requires us to process or retain certain information.

California (CCPA/CPRA). If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request access to or deletion of that information, to correct inaccurate information, and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. We do not sell personal information. You will not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@mrkitchenadviser.com. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law and may need to verify your identity before acting on your request.

Data retention & security

We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this policy, or as required to meet legal, accounting, or reporting obligations. For example, we retain newsletter subscriptions until you unsubscribe. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children’s privacy

Mr. Kitchen Adviser is intended for a general, adult audience and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under 16 where a higher age applies). If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at hello@mrkitchenadviser.com and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

International visitors

We operate from Florida, United States, and our servers and service providers may be located there or elsewhere. If you access the site from outside Florida, United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in a country whose data protection laws may differ from those of your own. By using the site, you consent to that transfer and processing.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Significant changes may be communicated more prominently, such as through a notice on the site.

Contact us

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your information, we would genuinely like to hear from you.
