Privacy Policy

Introduction

At FoodFantasia (foodfantasia.space), your privacy is our priority. We are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us as you engage with our mindfulness and self-care resources. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, store, and safeguard your data, ensuring transparency and compliance with applicable laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and other relevant regulations.

FoodFantasia is a platform dedicated to mindfulness and self-care rituals, offering content such as daily meditations, self-care routines, creative activities, wellness guides, and seasonal practices. As we prepare to partner with Mediavine through Grow for ad monetization, we uphold the highest standards of data privacy to maintain your trust. This policy applies to all users of our website, newsletter, social media channels, and related services.

By using our website, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at privacy@foodfantasia.space.

“We believe that protecting your privacy is an essential part of nurturing your well-being, just like the mindfulness practices we share.”
