Privacy Policy
Last updated June 12, 2026
Recalled This Week (“we,” “us,” or “the site”) operates recalledthisweek.com. This page explains what information we collect, why, and the choices you have. We keep this short and in plain English because that is the whole point of the site.
Who runs this site
Recalled This Week is an independent, single-operator publication. We are not affiliated with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Food and Drug Administration, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, or any other government agency. Recall data is aggregated from those agencies and rewritten for readability.
Information we collect
Email address (only if you give it to us). If you sign up for free recall alerts, we store the email address you submit so we can send those alerts. We do not sell, rent, or trade your email address. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any alert email, or by emailing us at the address below.
Automatically collected technical data. Like most websites, our hosting provider and analytics and advertising partners may automatically receive standard technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, and the pages you view. This is used to keep the site running, measure traffic, and serve advertising.
Cookies and similar technologies
We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies (such as web beacons and local storage) to operate the site, remember preferences, measure traffic, and display advertising. A cookie is a small text file stored on your device. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect how some features work.
Advertising and third-party vendors
We display advertising to keep the site free. To do this we work with third-party advertising vendors, including Google.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website and other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and other sites on the internet.

Analytics
We may use privacy-conscious analytics to understand which recalls and pages are most useful. Analytics data is aggregated and is not used to personally identify you.
How we use information
We use the information described above to operate and improve the site, send the recall alerts you request, measure and analyze traffic, serve and measure advertising, and detect and prevent abuse.
Your choices
- Email alerts: unsubscribe at any time using the link in any alert email, or by emailing us.

Children
This site is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Data retention
We keep email addresses only for as long as you remain subscribed to alerts. Technical and advertising data is retained according to the policies of our hosting, analytics, and advertising partners.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
