1. Introduction
ChefKoko – Personal Chef & Catering (“ChefKoko,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides personal chef, catering, and cooking class services to clients in New Jersey and New York. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect through chefkoko.us, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this website or our services, you agree to the practices described here.
2. Information We Collect
Contact and booking information. When you fill out our contact form, request a quote, or book an appointment or consultation through our scheduling tool, we collect information such as your name, email address, phone number, event details (date, location, guest count, dietary preferences), and any message you send us.
Newsletter sign-up. If you subscribe to our email updates, we collect your email address (and name, if provided) through our email marketing provider.
Online orders (coming soon). Once our online store is live, purchases will require billing and shipping details and will be processed through a secure third-party payment processor. We do not store your full payment card details on our own servers.
Automatically collected information. Like most websites, we use cookies and analytics tools that collect standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, and pages visited, to help us understand site usage.
Comments. If our site allows comments, the content you submit, along with your IP address and browser user agent, is retained to help with spam detection.
3. How We Use Your Information
- Responding to inquiries and preparing quotes or proposals
- Scheduling and managing appointments, consultations, and events
- Communicating with you about your booking or order
- Sending newsletters or promotional updates, only if you have opted in
- Processing payments once online ordering is available
- Improving our website and services
- Complying with legal obligations
4. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with trusted service providers who help us operate our business, including:
- Form and booking tools used to manage inquiries and appointments
- Our email marketing platform, if you subscribe to updates
- Website analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics), which report aggregated, largely anonymized usage data

These providers are only permitted to use your information to perform services on our behalf. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, property, or safety.
5. Cookies
Our site uses cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working properly (for example, remembering your session) and to understand how visitors use the site. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; note that some site features may not work properly without them.
6. Data Retention
We keep booking, contact, and order information for as long as needed to provide our services, maintain business records, and meet legal or tax obligations, after which it is deleted or anonymized. Newsletter contact information is kept until you unsubscribe.
7. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, or to opt out of marketing emails at any time (every newsletter includes an unsubscribe link). To make a request, contact us using the details below.

Our website and services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
