Tom Evans Private Chef ("we", "us", "our") provides private dining and personal chef services in the United Kingdom. This policy explains what personal data we collect when you use this website or make an enquiry, why we collect it, and what rights you have over it.
Who we are
Tom Evans Private Chef is a UK-based sole trader. For any privacy query, you can contact us at [email protected]. We are the data controller for the personal data described below.
What data we collect
We only collect data you choose to give us. When you submit the enquiry form on this site, we collect:
- Your name
- Your email address
- Your requested event date and guest numbers
- Any message or details you include about your event
If you email us directly, we'll hold whatever information is contained in that correspondence. We do not use cookies or trackers that collect personal data, and this site does not currently run analytics that identify individual visitors.
How we use your data
We use the information you submit solely to:
- Respond to your enquiry and discuss your event
- Plan, quote and deliver a booking, if one goes ahead
- Keep basic records of past enquiries and bookings for our own reference
We do not sell your data, and we do not use it for marketing unless you separately ask us to keep you updated, in which case you may opt out at any time.
Our legal basis
We process enquiry data on the basis of legitimate interest — responding to enquiries you have proactively sent us — and, where a booking is confirmed, on the basis of performance of a contract with you.
Who we share it with
We use a small number of trusted service providers to run this website and respond to enquiries:
- Resend — delivers enquiry form submissions to us by email.
- Cloudflare — hosts this website and processes standard technical/server logs (e.g. IP address, browser type) as part of hosting and security.
We do not share your data with any other third party, and we do not transfer it outside the UK/EEA other than through these providers' standard infrastructure.
How long we keep it
We keep enquiry and booking correspondence for as long as reasonably needed to deliver a booking and for our own business records afterwards, typically no longer than 3 years, unless we're required to keep it longer (for example, for tax records). You can ask us to delete your data sooner — see "Your rights" below.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:
- Ask what personal data we hold about you and get a copy of it
- Ask us to correct inaccurate data
- Ask us to delete your data
- Object to or restrict how we use your data
To exercise any of these, email [email protected]. If you're unhappy with how we've handled your data, you can also complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
Children
This website and our services are intended for adults. We don't knowingly collect data from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time, for example if we start using a new service provider. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
