Privacy Policy

1. The Short Version

We collect only what we need to give you an incredible dinner experience. We don't sell your data. We don't share it with people you wouldn't want at your table. This policy explains the details.

2. What We Collect

Information you give us:

• Name and email when you reserve a seat, sign up for our newsletter, or create a membership
• Phone number if you provide it on a reservation form
• Dietary restrictions and food allergies so our chefs can take care of you
• Payment information when you purchase tickets or memberships (processed securely through our payment provider)
• Feedback and messages you send us through our website

Information collected automatically:

• Basic browsing data like your IP address, browser type, and which pages you visit
• Cookies that help us remember your preferences and keep you signed in

3. How We Use It

Your information helps us:

• Process your reservations and manage your event experience
• Communicate dietary needs to our chefs so your meal is perfect
• Send you event confirmations, reminders, and updates
• Keep you in the loop about upcoming dinners and news (if you've opted in)
• Manage your membership and billing
• Improve our website and events based on feedback and usage patterns
• Respond to your questions and requests

4. Who We Share It With

We keep your information close. We only share it with:

• Service providers who help us run things — payment processing, email delivery, website hosting. They only access what they need and are bound by their own privacy obligations.
• Our chefs — dietary restrictions and allergy info only, so they can prepare your meal safely.
• Legal requirements — if required by law or to protect our rights.

We never sell your personal information. Period. Not to advertisers, not to data brokers, not to anyone.

5. Cookies

We use cookies (the digital kind, though we wish they were edible). These small files help us:

• Remember your login and preferences
• Understand how visitors use our site
• Improve your browsing experience

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Just know that disabling them may affect some functionality of our site.

6. How We Protect Your Information

We take reasonable precautions to keep your data safe, including encryption for data in transit, secure payment processing, and limited access to personal information within our team.

That said, no method of online transmission or storage is 100% secure. We do our best, but we can't guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct any inaccurate information
• Delete your data (subject to legal obligations we may have to retain certain records)
• Opt out of marketing emails at any time by clicking “unsubscribe” or emailing us
• Request a copy of your data in a portable format

To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@thedinnerpartyproject.com.

8. Third-Party Links

Our site may link to other websites (like Instagram or TikTok). We're not responsible for their privacy practices. We recommend checking their policies before sharing any personal information.

9. Children's Privacy

Our services are intended for adults 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn we have, we'll delete it promptly.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as our practices evolve. When we make significant changes, we'll update the date at the top and, where appropriate, notify you by email.
