Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

Who We Are

The Flat-Top Wok (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates theflat-topwok.com, a website featuring Chinese recipes cooked on the Blackstone flat-top griddle, along with related videos, a free sauce guide, a paid eBook, and product recommendations. This policy explains what information we collect from visitors and how it’s used.

Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

• Email signup: If you join our mailing list (for example, to receive the free Sauce Guide), we collect your email address, and optionally your name, through our email service provider.
• Purchases: If you buy our eBook, your payment is processed by a third-party checkout provider (Payhip), not by us directly. We do not see or store your card details. Payhip may share your name, email, and order details with us so we can provide customer support.
• Contact form: If you contact us directly, we collect whatever information you choose to include (typically your name, email, and message).
• Automatic data: Like most websites, our hosting provider and analytics tools may automatically collect standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited, for security and performance purposes.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Send you the content you signed up for (such as the free Sauce Guide) and deliver digital products you’ve purchased
• Send occasional emails about new recipes, videos, or products — you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email
• Respond to questions or support requests sent through our contact form
• Maintain the security and performance of our website

We do not sell your personal information to anyone.

Third-Party Services We Use

We rely on a small number of trusted third-party services to run this site. Each has its own privacy policy governing how they handle your data:

• Email marketing provider — used to store your email address and send newsletters or automated emails (such as delivering the free Sauce Guide) if you sign up.
• Payhip — used to process payments and deliver our eBook. Payhip handles all payment card information directly; we never receive or store it.
• WordPress / Hostinger — our website hosting provider.
• Google Fonts — used to load the fonts on this site.

Affiliate Links

Some links on this site, particularly on our Kit page, are affiliate links (including Amazon Associates links). If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. We only recommend products we genuinely use and would suggest regardless of any commission.

Cookies

Our website may use small text files (“cookies”) for basic functionality and to understand how visitors use the site. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not work as intended if you do.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and to withdraw consent to marketing emails at any time. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below, or use the unsubscribe link included in any marketing email.

Children’s Privacy

This website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13.

Changes To This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “last updated” date.
