Privacy Policy

Who we are Our website address is: https://demo.culinaryventureskc.com.

We are a catering company that provides food and event services. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our site and submit inquiries through our contact forms.

Contact Forms When you submit a contact form on our website to request information, a quote, or catering services, we collect the information you provide. This typically includes:

  • Your name
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Event details (such as date, number of guests, venue/location, type of event, menu preferences, and dietary requirements)
  • Any additional message or notes you include

We do not offer user accounts, logins, registrations, comment sections, forums, or any user-generated content features on this website. All personal data collection occurs only through voluntary contact form submissions.

To help protect our forms from spam and automated abuse, and for marketing tracking and attribution purposes, we may create and use a cryptographic hash (an anonymized string) of your email address. This hashed data is used solely for:

  • Anti-spam detection and form protection
  • Marketing performance tracking and conversion attribution (for example, with advertising platforms that support hashed data)

We do not share your actual email address when using hashed data for these purposes.

We also automatically collect standard technical information when you visit the site, including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring page, and pages viewed. This helps us maintain security, analyze site performance, and improve the website.

Cookies We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to make our website function properly, understand how visitors use it, and support our marketing efforts.

Types of cookies we may use include:

  • Essential cookies — Required for basic site functionality and security.
  • Analytics cookies — Help us understand visitor behavior and improve the site (e.g., Google Analytics).
  • Marketing / Advertising cookies — Used to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and to show relevant offers. Some advertising platforms may receive or use hashed email data (provided by us or collected via pixels) for enhanced conversion tracking.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Some browsers also offer “Do Not Track” options. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect how the site functions.

Embedded content from other websites Our site may include embedded content such as maps (e.g., Google Maps), videos, or social media elements. This embedded content behaves exactly as if you had visited the third-party website directly.

These third-party sites may collect data about you, use their own cookies, and track your interaction with the embedded content according to their own privacy policies.

Who we share your data with We do not sell your personal information.

We share information only with trusted service providers who help us operate our business and respond to your inquiries. These may include:

  • Website hosting and contact form processing services
  • Email and customer relationship management (CRM) platforms used to respond to and manage catering inquiries
  • Anti-spam and security services (which may receive signals or hashed email data)
  • Analytics and advertising platforms (e.g., Google, Meta) that may receive hashed email data for marketing attribution and performance measurement
  • Payment processors (only if you proceed with a booking and deposit — you will receive separate notice at that time)

We require these providers to handle your data securely and only for the specific purposes we authorize. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights and safety.

How long we retain your data We keep information submitted through contact forms only as long as reasonably necessary to:

  • Respond to your inquiry and provide catering quotes or proposals
  • Coordinate your event (if you book with us)
  • Maintain business records and comply with legal or tax obligations

Hashed email data used for anti-spam and marketing tracking is typically retained for shorter periods tied to those specific purposes. You may request deletion of your data at any time (see “Your rights” below).

Your rights over your data You have rights regarding the personal information we hold from your contact form submission. These include the right to:

  • Request access to the data we have about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your data (subject to legal or legitimate business retention needs)
  • Object to or restrict certain types of processing (such as marketing)
  • Request a copy of your data in a portable format (where technically feasible)
  • Withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time

Because we do not have user accounts or logins, please contact us directly using the information below to make any of these requests. We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding.

Where your data is sent Data submitted through our contact forms is processed by us and our service providers, primarily in the United States.

Hashed email data and technical information may be shared with anti-spam services and marketing/analytics platforms (which may be located in the U.S. or other countries) for spam protection and advertising performance tracking.

Any embedded third-party content on our site is subject to the privacy policies and data practices of those external websites.

Security We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Changes to this policy We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will reflect the most recent changes. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
