All payments are processed through Stripe, a PCI-compliant payment processor. When you submit payment information, it is transmitted directly to Stripe using industry-standard encryption.

Your account data, order history, and preferences are stored using Supabase, a secure cloud database platform. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
We use cookies to maintain your shopping cart between visits and to keep you logged into your account. These are functional cookies necessary for the operation of our service. We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies.
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:
Service providers: With Stripe for payment processing and Supabase for data storage, strictly as needed to provide our services.
Legal requirements: When required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Chef Dorothy, our customers, or others.
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information. California residents may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information is collected and the right to request deletion of that information.

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. If you request account deletion, we will remove your data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or accounting purposes.
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information, including encryption in transit and at rest, secure authentication, and regular security reviews. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected such information, we will take steps to delete it promptly.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy on our website with a revised "Last updated" date. Your continued use of our services after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
