Privacy Policy

What we collect

If you use the contact form, we receive the details you choose to send: typically your name, email address, message, and — for private dinners or events — an approximate date and guest count. You may also contact us directly by phone or email; those conversations are handled the same way.

Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically receive basic technical data such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited, used only to operate and secure the site.

How we use it

We use contact information to reply to your inquiry, schedule a consultation if you want one, and provide our private chef services. We do not sell your information, and we do not use it for unrelated marketing lists.

Who helps us process it

Form submissions are emailed to us through our email delivery provider (currently Resend). The website is hosted by our hosting provider (currently Vercel), which also provides privacy-focused web analytics so we can understand how the site is used. Those vendors process data only to provide their service to us.

Cookies & tracking

We use Vercel Web Analytics to understand aggregate traffic — page views, referrers, and similar site usage. It is designed to be privacy-friendly and does not use advertising cookies that track you across other websites. We do not currently use Google Analytics or ad pixels. If we add advertising or cross-site tracking later, we will update this page and, where required, ask for your consent.

How long we keep it

Inquiry messages are kept as long as needed to respond and, if we work together, to manage the client relationship. You can ask us to delete a message or update your details at any time.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
