Privacy Policy - Caring Casseroles

Last updated: November 13, 2026

Who we are

Caring Casseroles (https://caringcasseroles.com) is owned and operated by Skip to My Lou LLC, based in Topeka, Kansas. In this policy, “we,” “us,” and “our” mean Caring Casseroles and Skip to My Lou LLC.

We share recipes and simple tools that help people care for others with food. We try to collect only what we need to make those tools work, and we never sell your personal information.

What we collect and why

Meal kit events

When you create a meal kit event with our Meal in a Bag Organizer, we collect your name, your email address, and the event details you enter (such as the event name, date, location, address, directions, and any additional information). We use this to run your event and to email you your event links.

When you sign up to help with an event, we collect your name, email address, the items you plan to bring, and any notes you add. If you choose text reminders, we also collect your mobile number and record your consent. We use this to confirm your sign-up, send your reminder, tell you about important changes to the event, and let you edit or cancel your sign-up.

Who sees your sign-up: the event organizer can see your name, email address, phone number (if you gave one), items, and notes so they can coordinate the event. The public sign-up page shows only the event details and how many of each item are still needed. It does not show volunteers’ names, emails, phone numbers, or notes.

My Caring Casseroles accounts

If you create a My Caring Casseroles account, we collect your email address and, if you give it, your name. We email you a one-time sign-in link instead of using a password. If you choose “Keep me signed in,” a cookie keeps you signed in on that device for up to 30 days. Your account lets you see the events you organize in one place. You never need an account to volunteer.

Email newsletter

If you subscribe to our emails, we collect your email address and name so we can send you recipes and tips. Our newsletter is sent through Flodesk. Every email includes an unsubscribe link.

Comments, forum posts, and contact forms

When you leave a comment, post in our forum, or send us a message through a form, we collect what you enter (such as your name, email address, and message) along with your IP address and browser information to help prevent spam. Comments and forum posts, along with the name you choose, are visible to the public. Your email address is not shown publicly.

E-cards

If you send an e-card, we collect your name and email address and the recipient’s name and email address so the card can be delivered. We use the recipient’s information only to deliver that card.

Site statistics and security

We use Google Analytics and Burst Statistics to understand how people use the site, such as which pages and recipes are most popular. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects information like the pages you visit, how long you stay, your general location, and your device and browser type. Google handles this information under its own privacy policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics with Google’s browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Burst Statistics runs on our own server.

We also use security software that records IP addresses and visit details to block attacks and spam.

Text messages (SMS)

Text reminders are optional. You only receive texts from Caring Casseroles if you choose text reminders when you sign up for an event, enter your mobile number, and check the box agreeing to receive them.

What we send: reminders about meal kit events you signed up for, and important updates if an organizer changes the date, time, or location. We do not send marketing or promotional texts.
How often: message frequency varies with your sign-ups, usually 1 to 3 texts per event.
Cost: message and data rates may apply.
To stop: reply STOP to any message. You’ll get one confirmation text and no more texts after that.
For help: reply HELP, or email [email protected].

Your mobile number stays private. We use your mobile number only to send the event texts you asked for. No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties. We share your number only with our text messaging provider, Twilio, so it can deliver your messages.

Text message terms

By opting in, you agree to receive automated text messages from Caring Casseroles about the meal kit events you sign up for. Consent is not a condition of signing up; you can always choose email reminders instead. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to cancel at any time, or HELP for help. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. If you change or give up your mobile number, please reply STOP first or update your reminder choice using your private Manage My Sign-Up link.

Who we share information with

We never sell or rent your personal information. We share it only with:

Event organizers, for the events you sign up to help with, as described above.
Service providers that help us run the site: our web host, our email delivery service, Flodesk (newsletter), Twilio (text messages), and Google (site analytics). They may use your information only to provide their service to us.
When required by law, or to protect the safety of our users or the site.

Cookies

We use cookies to keep you signed in, remember comment details if you ask us to, measure site traffic with Google Analytics, and keep the site secure. Some links on our site are affiliate links, including links to Amazon. If you click one, that company may set its own cookies so we can earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Their privacy policies apply on their sites.

Embedded content

Some pages include embedded content such as videos. Embedded content behaves the same way as if you visited the other website, and that site may collect data about you under its own privacy policy.

How long we keep your information

We keep event and sign-up information so organizers can look back at their events and so you can manage your sign-ups. Comments and forum posts are kept until they are removed. Newsletter information is kept until you unsubscribe. You can ask us to delete your information at any time.

Your choices

You can change or cancel a volunteer sign-up with your private Manage My Sign-Up link, unsubscribe from emails with the link in any email, and stop texts by replying STOP. You can also email [email protected] to ask for a copy of the information we have about you, or to ask us to correct or delete it.

Children

Caring Casseroles is meant for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page.
