Privacy Policy
Policy Updated: July 14th, 2025.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT ACCESS THE SITE.
Who we are
Our website address is: https://berryrooted.com.
Analytics
Berry Rooted uses Google Analytics and other tracking pixels to collect demographic and advertising information. None of this information is personally identifiable – it is completely anonymous. We may share this information with third parties, primarily for sponsorship purposes.
If you would like to opt-out of providing information to Google Analytics, please use the Google Analytics Opt-Out Tool.
Email addresses collected for comments are never used for anything besides comment notification and occasionally for private responses to comments by site administrators. These email addresses will not be sold or distributed to third parties, except for the winners of contests and giveaways, or if a post calls out a specific exclusion to this policy.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service: Akismet.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
Sensitive Personal Information
Please do not submit any sensitive personal information to this site. This includes things like your Social Security number, racial or ethnic background, political or religious beliefs, health details, criminal history, or anything else private and sensitive. If you choose to share this type of information, it will be handled according to our Privacy Policy—but we strongly recommend keeping that info to yourself.
Sponsorships
Berry Rooted occasionally works with brands to create sponsored content, which may include recipe development, product reviews, or other collaborations. Some of this content may include tracking pixels—tiny tools that help us understand how content is performing. These may be used in emails or blog posts to see things like when an email is opened or which links are clicked. This helps us create content that’s more relevant and useful to you. In some cases, this data may be shared with trusted third parties for marketing purposes.
Third Party Websites
Berry Rooted may include links to third-party websites, ads, or services that aren’t connected to us. When you click these links and leave our site, any information you share with those third parties isn’t covered by our Privacy Policy. We can’t guarantee how they’ll protect your privacy or data. Before sharing anything, take a moment to review their privacy policies and decide what makes sense for you. We’re not responsible for the content or privacy practices of any outside sites or services linked from Berry Rooted.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
What rights you have over your data
If you have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Policy for Children
Berry Rooted is intended for users 18 and older. If you’re under 18, please get permission from a parent or guardian before using certain features of the site. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18, and we don’t knowingly market to or request information from children under 13.
Security of your Information
We use a mix of technical, physical, and administrative safeguards to protect your personal information. While we do our best to keep your data secure, no system is completely foolproof. Any information sent online carries some risk of being intercepted or misused by others. Because of this, we can’t promise absolute security if you share personal details with us.
California Privacy Rights
If you’re a California resident, California’s “Shine The Light” law lets you request information once a year—free of charge—about any personal info we’ve shared with third parties for direct marketing in the past year. You can also ask for the names and addresses of those third parties. To make a request, just contact us using the info below.
If you’re under 18 and live in California, you have the right to ask us to remove any personal information you’ve publicly posted on this site. To do that, contact us with details about the post and a note that you live in California. We’ll take steps to remove it from public view, but please understand it might still exist in backups or cached versions of the site.

If you have a medical condition or specific dietary needs, please check with your doctor or a qualified health provider to find what’s best for you.
