This Privacy Policy describes how Partum Events (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website (partumevents.com), inquire about services, or book a private chef event.
We respect your privacy and only collect information needed to respond to your inquiry, manage your booking, and improve our services.
Information we collect.
Information you provide directly. When you submit an inquiry through the contact form, you provide your name, email address, phone number (optional), event date, event location, guest count, event type, dietary restrictions, and any notes about the occasion. When you book and confirm a booking, you also provide a billing address and payment information processed through our payment provider.
Information collected automatically. When you visit our website, we automatically collect technical data including IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring URL. This data is collected through cookies and standard analytics tools.
Cookies and tracking. Our site uses cookies for essential site function (session, authentication), analytics (aggregate usage), and marketing measurement (Google Tag Manager, Google Ads). You can disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings.
Privacy policy: how we use your information.
- To respond to inquiries and prepare custom menu drafts and quotes
- To communicate with you about your booking, including menu confirmation, dietary updates, and arrival timing

- To manage repeat-client relationships and seasonal communications

How we share your information.
Service providers. We share information with third-party service providers who help us operate the business, including email service providers (Google Workspace) for client communication, payment processors (Square, Stripe) for booking payments, analytics providers (Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager), hosting and security providers (Kinsta), and CRM and database tools (Supabase). These providers only receive information necessary for their function and are bound by their own privacy policies and confidentiality obligations.
Legal requirements. We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect the safety and rights of clients, the business, or third parties.
Business transfer. In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of business assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
How we protect your information.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. These include encrypted hosting (SSL/TLS), secure password practices, limited access controls, and regular software updates.
No internet transmission is fully secure. While we work to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Privacy policy: your rights.

- Access the personal information we hold about you
