As is standard and a best practice, we collect anonymous data from every website to monitor traffic and fix bugs. When we ask you to share your email to receive a Familia Kitchen newsletter or if you are submitting a recipe to help complete our national collection of Latinx favorite family traditional recipes, we may ask you to log in and provide certain personal information (such as your name and email address).

To access these or any other login based features, we use cookies to store session information for your convenience. In order to take advantage of certain features of FamiliaKitcen.com, you may also choose to provide us with other personal information, such as a family tradition food story, or write an article or opinion column. We are grateful, thank you and invite you to do so, but please know that your decision to use these features and provide such data is and will always be voluntary.

We only use your personal information for FamiliaKitchen.com services or to communicate with you about our content offerings or a partner service.

As to any content you may choose to submit to us for possible publishing, please know we take your privacy and confidentiality 100% seriously. If you choose to make content submitted by you public, we recommend you redact any and all references to people and addresses, as we can’t protect public data and we are not responsible for any violation of privacy law you may be liable for.

We do not share personal information you have provided to us without your consent, unless doing so is required: 1) to carry out your request; 2) to enforce our terms of service, or is legally required; 3) to detect, prevent or address fraud, security or technical issues; 4) to protect our property, legal rights, or that of others. This website may include links to other website resources, which have their own privacy policies. Please review before engaging with them.

Famila Kitchen employs industry standard techniques to protect against unauthorized access of data about you that we store, including personal information. We do our very best and are committed to keeping your information safe and secure, but please be aware, that any and all information you share with Familia Kitchen is at your own risk.
