5. Affiliate Disclosure

AirFryer Recipes may participate in affiliate marketing programs, including the Amazon Associates Program, which means we may earn a commission on qualifying purchases made through links on our site — at no additional cost to you. Affiliate links may appear within recipe posts, product recommendations, or buying guides. We only recommend products we genuinely believe add value for our readers.

6. Comments & Embedded Content

When you leave a comment on our site, the data shown in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser user agent string, is collected to help detect spam. An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. After approval, your profile picture may be visible to the public alongside your comment.

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos, Pinterest pins, Instagram posts). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you visited that website directly, and those sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with the embedded content.

7. Email & Newsletter

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address to send you recipe updates, new posts, and occasional promotions. You may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link included in every email, or by contacting us directly at airfryersrecipe1@gmail.com.

• When required to comply with a legal obligation, court order, or government request.
• To protect the rights, property, or safety of AirFryer Recipes, our users, or the public.

9. Data Retention

We retain comment data and its metadata for as long as needed so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically, rather than holding them in a moderation queue. Newsletter subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe. Analytics data is retained according to the default settings of our analytics provider.
