Privacy Policy for Pupusas.com
Last updated: May 30, 2025
1. Who We Are
Pupusas.com (“we,” “us” or “our”) operates the website at https://pupusas.com (the “Site”). We are the global authority on pupusas, offering authentic recipes, a curated pupusería marketplace, and daily content for pupusa enthusiasts.
2. What Personal Data We Collect
2.1 Comments
When visitors leave comments on the Site, we collect the data shown in the comments form (e.g. name, email, website), along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information helps us detect and prevent spam. An anonymized hash of your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check for an associated avatar. The Gravatar privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if any) is visible to the public alongside your comment.
2.2 Media
If you upload images via our comment forms or other upload interfaces, please avoid embedding personal location data (EXIF GPS) in your images. Visitors may download and extract any embedded metadata from images made publicly available on the Site.
2.3 Cookies
- Commenter Cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience and last one year.
- Login Cookies: Visiting our login page sets a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies; it contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, we set cookies to save your login and screen-display choices. Login cookies last two days; screen-options cookies last one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies.
- Post-Editing Cookie: If you edit or publish an article, we set a cookie (containing only the post ID) that expires after one day.
2.4 Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles and pages on this Site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles). Embedded content behaves as if you visited the external site directly: those sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that content (including via your logged-in account on that external service).
3. How We Use Your Data
We use the data we collect to:
- Moderate and approve user comments;
- Personalize your experience;
- Secure the Site and prevent spam or abuse;
- Provide and improve our services;
- Send administrative emails, such as password resets.
4. Who We Share Your Data With
- Service Providers: We may share data with hosting providers, email service providers, analytics services, payment processors (e.g. Stripe for online orders), and anti-spam services.
- Password Resets: If you request a password reset, your IP address is included in the reset email.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose data if required by law or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of others.
5. How Long We Retain Your Data
- Comments: Comment content and metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and automatically approve follow-up comments.
- Registered Users: If you register on the Site, we store the personal information you provide in your user profile. You may view, edit, or delete your personal information at any time (excluding your username). Administrators may also view or edit this information.
6. Your Data Protection Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights:
- Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

7. Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam-detection service (e.g. Akismet). We also utilize analytics services (e.g. Google Analytics) to understand Site usage; these services may receive your IP address and other usage data.
8. Third-Party Links
Our Site may contain links to third-party websites. This Privacy Policy applies only to Pupusas.com, so if you click on a link to another site, you should read that site’s own privacy policy.
