Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 22, 2026

The Bayou Belle (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information may be collected when you visit purejoyliving.net, how it may be used, and the choices available to you.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Information you provide: We may collect information you choose to submit, such as your name, email address, messages sent through our contact form, newsletter sign-ups, comments, membership details, or other information you provide directly.

Information collected automatically: Our website and service providers may automatically collect limited technical information, including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, referring pages, approximate location, and interactions with the site. Cookies and similar technologies may be used to keep the site working, remember preferences, measure traffic, and understand how visitors use the website.

HOW WE USE INFORMATION

We may use information to operate and improve the website; respond to questions and messages; send newsletters or updates you requested; provide memberships, products, or services; understand site performance; prevent misuse or fraud; comply with legal obligations; and protect our rights and visitors.

EMAILS AND NEWSLETTERS

If you subscribe to our email list, we may send recipes, blog updates, promotions, or other Bayou Belle news. You may unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link in an email. Transactional or account-related messages may still be sent when necessary.

COOKIES AND ANALYTICS

This website is hosted by Squarespace, which may use cookies and related technologies to provide site features, security, analytics, and performance services. Additional services connected to the site may also use cookies. You can manage or block cookies through your browser settings, although some features may not function properly afterward.

AFFILIATE LINKS, ADVERTISING, AND THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Some pages may contain affiliate links. If you make a purchase through one of those links, The Bayou Belle may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. We may also use third-party services for hosting, email delivery, analytics, memberships, advertising, payments, social media, or shopping. Those providers process information under their own privacy policies.

The website may link to outside websites or services, including Pinterest, TikTok, Shopify, retailers, and recipe or product partners. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of websites we do not control.

HOW INFORMATION MAY BE SHARED

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with trusted service providers that help us operate the website or provide requested services; when required by law or a valid legal process; to protect our rights, safety, property, visitors, or services; or as part of a business transfer. Service providers are permitted to use information only as necessary to perform their services or as described in their own policies.

PAYMENTS AND SHOPPING

If products, paid memberships, or other purchases are offered, payment details are generally processed by third-party payment or commerce providers rather than stored directly by The Bayou Belle. Purchases made through a connected Shopify store or another external seller are also subject to that provider’s policies and terms.

DATA RETENTION AND SECURITY

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, to meet legal or business obligations, or to resolve disputes. We use reasonable safeguards, but no website or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.

YOUR CHOICES

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time. You may also request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information that we control, subject to applicable exceptions. Cookie controls are available through your browser and, when provided, the website’s cookie settings.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can review and remove it when appropriate.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this policy as the website and our services change. The effective date at the top will be revised when material updates are made.
