Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information we collect, why we use it, and how website form submissions are processed.

Last updated: October 14, 2026

About This Policy

Personal Chef Ana LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates personalchefana.com and provides personal chef and related food services. This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through this website, its forms, and direct communications related to our business.

We are a food-service business, not a healthcare provider. If you share dietary, allergy, or health-related information, we use it to discuss and provide the requested food service. We do not use it to provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

  • Name, email address, phone number, city, and service address or location.
  • Service, event, household, schedule, guest-count, and other details included in your request.
  • Food preferences, dietary restrictions, allergies, ingredient restrictions, and related instructions you choose to share.
  • Kitchen access details, direct communications, and other information needed to discuss or provide an agreed service.

Chef Applications

If you submit the application form on our My Chefs page, we collect your name, email address, optional phone number, cuisine specialty, experience range, and any information you choose to include in your application message. We use this information to review and respond to your application and to communicate with you about potential work opportunities.

Media Inquiries

If you submit the form on our Media & Press page, we collect your name, work email address, and message, plus any publication or outlet, request type, deadline, or phone number you choose to provide. The submission may also include the page URL, the page where your visit began, campaign parameters in the URL, and timing information associated with the submission. We use this information to evaluate and respond to the media request, coordinate a possible interview or asset request, protect the form from misuse, and maintain appropriate business records. A media inquiry does not enroll you in marketing communications.

Form and Request Context

When you submit a website form, the submission may include the form name, the page URL, the page where your visit began, campaign parameters in the URL, time associated with the submission, and limited technical request information. We use this context to understand and respond to the request, protect forms from misuse, and maintain business records.

Payment Information

Our website inquiry and application forms do not ask for payment-card or bank-account numbers. If a payment is arranged through a payment provider, that provider processes payment information under its own terms and privacy policy.

How We Use Information

  • Respond to inquiries and prepare service proposals.
  • Plan, schedule, and provide agreed chef services.
  • Customize menus around preferences and restrictions you share.
  • Review and respond to chef applications.
  • Respond to media inquiries and coordinate interviews, fact checks, and approved asset requests.
  • Maintain business and service records.
  • Protect the website and forms from abuse or fraud.
  • Meet legal, accounting, insurance, or safety obligations.
  • Respond to privacy questions and requests.

How We Handle Website Forms

When you submit a form, we use your contact details and the information you choose to share to respond to your service inquiry, chef application, or media request. We also use relevant information within our team to coordinate an agreed service.

Cloudflare helps deliver and protect our website and process form submissions on our behalf. We may use business communication services to receive and respond to your request. Cloudflare processes information under its own Privacy Policy.

Information Sharing

We do not sell personal information or share it for third-party targeted advertising. We may disclose information only as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy, including to:

  • Cloudflare and other hosting, security, communications, or business-record service providers that support the website and our operations.
  • Payment providers when you choose an available payment method for an agreed service.
  • Chefs, contractors, or vendors when necessary to coordinate or provide an agreed service.
  • Professional advisers, insurers, regulators, courts, or authorities when reasonably necessary or required by law.
  • A successor or other party involved in a merger, sale, reorganization, or transfer of the business, subject to applicable requirements.

WhatsApp and Direct Messaging

If you choose to communicate through WhatsApp or another messaging service, that provider processes the communication under its own policy. See WhatsApp’s Privacy Policy .

Analytics and Cookies

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand page usage and website performance. Cloudflare describes this service as measuring usage without analytics cookies or localStorage and without tracking individual visitors across websites.

We do not use Google Analytics or advertising pixels on this website. Cloudflare also processes technical request information to deliver and protect the website and may use necessary security technologies.

Google Maps

Our Contact page includes a Google Maps map. When the map loads, your browser connects to Google, which may process technical information such as your IP address and browser details under its own Privacy Policy. You can also use the written address and direct contact details on the page.

Form Context

Our media inquiry form uses temporary browser session storage to remember the page associated with your visit. When you submit a form, we may also receive the submission page, campaign information, and submission timing to understand the request and help protect the form from misuse.

Retention and Security

Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to maintain appropriate business records, resolve disputes, and meet legal, tax, accounting, insurance, or safety obligations. The period varies by the type of information and the reason it was collected.

Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to our operations. No website, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Your Choices

You may contact us to ask about personal information associated with you or request access, correction, or deletion. We will consider and respond to requests as required by applicable law and may need to verify your identity before acting.

Some information may need to be retained for an active service, transaction, legal obligation, recordkeeping requirement, security purpose, or dispute. You may also ask us to stop nonessential direct communications.

Children’s Privacy

Our website and services are directed to adults, and we do not knowingly solicit personal information directly from children under 13. An adult arranging household food service may share a child’s dietary preferences, allergies, or restrictions when needed for that service.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy when our website, forms, service providers, analytics, or business practices change. The “Last updated” date identifies the current version.
