Where required, promotional email communications will provide an opportunity to unsubscribe.

Depending on the consent you provide, messages may include:

Upcoming class and camp information

Consent to receive marketing text messages is not a condition of purchasing or registering for a class.

We do not sell or share your mobile phone number or SMS consent information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

5. Information About Students

The Art of Foods provides culinary programs for students, including minors. We may collect information about a student from a parent or legal guardian when necessary to register the student for a class or provide appropriate instruction and safety.

We use student information only for legitimate business, educational, administrative, and safety purposes. We do not knowingly request or collect personal information directly from children for marketing purposes.

Parents and guardians are responsible for providing accurate information and notifying The Art of Foods of relevant changes.

6. Food Allergies and Dietary Information

Parents and guardians may provide information regarding food allergies, dietary restrictions, or other food-related considerations so that we can take appropriate precautions during classes.

This information is used only as reasonably necessary to support the student's participation and safety. Because The Art of Foods is not an allergen-free facility, providing allergy information does not guarantee that a student will not encounter an allergen or experience cross-contact.

7. Payments

When you register for a class, payment information may be collected or processed through third-party payment or registration services.

The Art of Foods does not intend to store complete credit card numbers on its own website. Payment information is handled through the applicable payment processor according to that provider's privacy and security practices.

8. Third-Party Services

Our website and business operations may use third-party services, such as website hosting, registration, payment processing, email communication, analytics, or other services.

These providers may have access to information necessary to perform services on our behalf and are expected to handle information according to their own privacy policies and applicable requirements.

We do not sell personal information to third parties.

9. Cookies and Website Technologies

Our website and third-party services may use cookies or similar technologies to provide website functionality, understand website usage, improve the user experience, and support certain website features.

You may be able to adjust cookie settings through your browser or through applicable website privacy controls.

10. Information Security

We take reasonable measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

11. How Long We Keep Information

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our services, maintain business and financial records, communicate with families, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

When information is no longer reasonably needed, we may delete or securely dispose of it.

12. Your Privacy Choices

You may contact us to:

Request information about the personal information we maintain about you
Request correction of inaccurate information
Ask questions about how your information is used
Opt out of promotional email communications
Opt out of SMS marketing messages by replying STOP
Request that we update your contact information

Some information may need to be retained when required for legal, accounting, safety, or legitimate business purposes.

13. Children's Privacy

Our programs are designed for students, including minors, and registration is handled by parents or legal guardians.

We do not knowingly use children's personal information for independent marketing purposes. Parents or guardians may contact us with questions or requests regarding information provided about their child.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.

We encourage you to review this page periodically for updates.
