At GASTRODOME.COM.MY, we share what we know best—recipes that feel like home. From warming soups and light salads to rich desserts and satisfying mains, everything you find here comes from cooks who care about good food and the people who enjoy it.
That same care extends to your privacy.
We value every visitor and want you to feel safe using our site. This policy explains what information we collect, how it’s used, and what choices you have. Whether you’re checking out a quick brunch idea or browsing Malaysian-style drinks, your personal data won’t be handled carelessly.
What We Collect
We only gather what we need to keep your time here useful and smooth. That may include:
- Basic info: Name, email, and anything else you choose to share when commenting, subscribing, or sending us a message.
- Social login: If you use a third-party option like Facebook to log in, we may access your public profile info. That’s it. You stay in control of what you share.
- Device details: Browser, location, language, and usage patterns—automatically gathered through cookies and similar tools—to help us keep the site secure and functional.
- Payment data: If we ever offer cooking guides or recipe bundles for sale, our payment processor handles transactions securely. We never store card numbers or billing credentials ourselves.
Why We Use or Collect Your Info

Who We Might Share It With

Ads & Cookies
We use cookies to make GASTRODOME.COM.MY run better for you.
Cookies are small bits of code stored on your device. They remember what you’ve clicked, which recipes caught your eye, and how long you stayed on a page—whether you were eyeing a hearty main course, flipping through dessert ideas, or diving into a warm soup recipe.
Some cookies help our pages load faster. Others keep things seamless, like remembering if you dismissed a pop-up or signed up for updates. A few track how you move through the site—from BREAKFAST & BRUNCH to DRINKS, or SALADS to DESSERTS—so we can make your browsing smoother and more useful.
We also work with select third-party tools that use cookies to serve ads based on your food interests. You might see suggestions that match your cooking habits or location. Those tools only track behavior to help us serve better content. They don’t store personal details like your name or email.
If you don’t want cookies sticking around, your browser lets you block or clear them. Just know some features—like saving your favorite recipes or staying signed in—may not work the same without them.
Emails
If you choose to subscribe to our email list, you’ll receive updates now and then—usually a handful of helpful things like seasonal recipe picks, new category features (soups, salads, desserts, etc.), or quick cooking tips from Nadia and the team.
We won’t crowd your inbox, and you can leave anytime by clicking the unsubscribe link found in each email. No awkward goodbyes.
Keep in mind, even if you opt out of the newsletter, we may still email you with service messages—like updates to your profile or changes to our privacy terms—especially if you’ve created an account or reached out to us directly.
Your Choices
Your data belongs to you. Here’s what you’re allowed to do:
- View what we’ve collected: Want to know what info we have on you? Just ask.
- Fix any errors: If something’s outdated or wrong, we’ll correct it.
- Request deletion: Don’t want us to keep your data? We’ll wipe it clean.
- Disable tracking: Block cookies in your browser settings if that’s your call.
Reach out to contact@gastrodome.com.my for anything above. We’re real people, and we’ll reply as soon as we can.
Cooking with Google Tools
We occasionally use Google Maps APIs to help locate ingredients or markets near you. When you use that feature, you agree to their Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
Maps tools may pick up info like location or account names if you’re signed in. We don’t keep that data on our end.
Site Metrics
To better understand what recipes people love—whether it's Malaysian breakfasts or vibrant salads—we use Google Analytics and similar tools. These platforms show us how many visitors read a page, how long they stay, or whether they found us through a search for “quick nasi lemak.”
Your clicks help us shape the site without sharing who you are. We don’t trade or sell your information. Vendors only see patterns, not names or emails.
Their privacy practices are their own, so for questions, check directly with them.
International Access
Some visitors come for the main courses, others for the drinks—no matter where you're from, your data may move through servers outside your country. If you live in the EEA, we follow privacy safeguards like Standard Contractual Clauses to protect your data according to international law.
We host content using trusted services in the U.S., and any personal info we collect through forms or comments stays protected through secure channels.
Outside Links
We sometimes link to ingredient sources, cookware brands, or other food blogs. Each of those sites has its own rules. We don’t control them and aren’t responsible for how they use your data.
Before entering information on those pages—whether it's signing up for a cooking class or browsing their grocery guides—read their policies.
Your Rights
If you're in a place like the European Economic Area, you have rights over your personal data. That includes:
- Looking at your info: Want a copy of what we’ve got? Ask for it.
- Fixing what’s wrong: If something’s off, tell us and we’ll correct it.
- Deleting data: We’ll erase what you no longer want us to have.
- Processing limits: You can say when and how your info gets used.
- Moving your data: Request to take your info somewhere else.
- Saying no: You may object to how your data is handled.
Reach us through the contact info below to use any of those rights. If you’ve agreed to something and change your mind, we’ll stop from then on—no hard feelings.
If you live in the EEA and think your data is being mishandled, contact your local data authority.
If You're in California
California law gives you more control over your personal information.
- Once a year, you can ask us which details were shared for marketing and with whom.
- If you’re under 18, live in California, and have posted on our site, you can request the removal of your public content.
Use the contact info below to make these requests. If you're underage, include the email tied to your post and confirm you live in California. We’ll remove the content from public view—though full deletion may not always be possible.
How Long We Keep Things
We keep personal data only for as long as it serves a clear purpose—whether that's responding to a message, keeping a comment live under a recipe, or meeting legal requirements like tax or bookkeeping rules. Once it’s no longer useful, we either delete it or anonymize it so it can’t be traced back to anyone.
In some cases, data may sit in backup storage for a little while longer. When that happens, it stays safely out of use until it can be fully removed. We don’t collect anything we don’t need, and we don’t hang onto your info longer than necessary.
Security Measures
We handle your personal information with care—just like we do every recipe we publish. Data shared through forms, comments, or site interactions is stored using secure systems with layers of technical and organizational protections. Access is limited to our small, trusted team, and only when absolutely necessary. Whether it's feedback on a soup recipe or a question about a brunch post, your info doesn’t go beyond what’s needed to keep the site working as intended.
That said, no setup is invincible. The web has its risks, and while we put strong measures in place—like secure hosting, software updates, and protective protocols—we can’t guarantee perfection. By using GASTRODOME.COM.MY, you accept that some risk exists, as it does with any online service. If anything unusual happens that affects your data, we’ll let you know quickly and clearly.
Data Protection
We protect your data with the same intention we bring to every recipe—simple, careful, and no unnecessary extras. Any personal info you share—whether through a form, a comment, or general browsing—is handled using secure systems. Hosting is trusted, software stays updated, and access is limited to those on our team who need it to keep the site running smoothly.
Still, the internet isn’t foolproof. Like a soup left on too long, things can occasionally go sideways. While we do our best to lock things down, no online system is completely risk-free. Using GASTRODOME.COM.MY means accepting that reality. If something goes wrong and your data is affected, we’ll let you know quickly and explain what’s being done about it.
Children’s Privacy
GASTRODOME.COM.MY is built for home cooks, food lovers, and anyone searching for practical, everyday recipes. We don’t design content with children under 13 in mind, and we don’t knowingly gather or store any personal data from users in that age group.
If you're a parent or guardian and think a child under 13 has submitted information to our site—whether through a form, comment, or sign-up—please let us know right away at contact@gastrodome.com.my. We’ll review the situation and delete anything that shouldn’t be here.
Our recipes may be family-friendly, but our privacy standards are built for adults.
Policy Updates
This privacy policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements, site functionality, or how we handle your information. Any updates will be posted here with a new “Revised” date at the bottom of the page. We recommend checking back occasionally so you’re always aware of how your data is handled, especially if you continue exploring recipes or interacting with our site.
Contact Us
Have a question about how your information is used? Want to make a request related to your personal data? Reach us directly at contact@gastrodome.com.my. Whether it’s a privacy concern or just something you’d like clarified, we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
