Privacy Policy
Last updated: 10 September 2026
How information is handled when you browse I Want Takeaway or get in touch through social media.
About this policy
This policy covers I Want Takeaway, operated by the site owner. We handle personal information under applicable UK data protection law, including the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, as amended.
You do not need a visitor account to read or print our recipes. The public site does not offer a checkout, newsletter sign-up or contact form.
Information from browsing
When your browser requests a page or searches for a dish, technical information is sent to the website and its hosting services. This can include your IP address, browser details, the page or search requested, and the time of the request. Server and security logs may contain this information.
This information helps deliver pages, return search results, investigate faults and protect the site against misuse. IP addresses and similar online identifiers can be personal information.
Messages through social media
If you message an I Want Takeaway social profile, we receive the profile information and message content that the platform makes available to us. We use this to read and respond to your enquiry. Please avoid sending sensitive personal information in public comments.
The social platform also handles information under its own privacy policy.
Why information is used
Our legitimate interests in operating a reliable, secure recipe website and responding to enquiries are the basis for processing technical information and messages. Where processing is necessary to meet a legal obligation, that obligation is the basis.
If we introduce an optional activity that requires consent, we will explain it and request consent before it begins.
Service providers and other websites
The site is hosted with 20i. Hosting, maintenance, security and backup providers may process technical data to deliver and support the website. Information may also be disclosed where required by law.
Social links and sharing buttons open the service you choose. Any information you provide to that service is covered by its own privacy policy, including its storage locations and international data transfers.
How long information is kept
Information should be kept only for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected. Relevant factors include whether an enquiry is resolved, whether information is needed to investigate a security incident or technical fault, and any applicable legal requirements. Hosting logs and backup copies are also subject to the provider’s retention arrangements.
Your privacy rights
Depending on the circumstances, you can ask to access, correct or erase personal information, restrict its use, or receive a portable copy where that right applies. If processing relies on consent, you can withdraw it without affecting the lawfulness of earlier processing.
You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests.
Privacy enquiries can be raised with the site owner through an I Want Takeaway social profile. Include enough information to identify your enquiry; do not post identification documents publicly. We may need to verify your identity before releasing personal information.
You can also raise a concern with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
