This Privacy Policy explains how David Arnold Culinary Consultants, a United States-based consulting business, handles information in connection with ChefDavidArnold.com, professional inquiries, free resources, and related communications. Contact David Arnold at david@chefdavidarnold.com with privacy questions or requests.
Information you provide
- Consulting and speaking inquiries: your name, email address, organization, contact details, and information you choose to provide about an operation, event, location, timing, or project.
- Resource and toolkit access: the email address and other details requested when you register, subscribe, or ask for access to a download. Records may include access status and the preferences or permissions you provide.
- Correspondence: messages, attachments, and information exchanged while answering your questions or discussing professional services.
Please provide only information relevant to your request. Do not send payment-card details, passwords, employee medical records, or other sensitive personal information through a general inquiry form or ordinary email.
Website, cookie, and analytics information
The website and its hosting, security, and delivery services process technical information needed to serve pages, operate forms and account access, and investigate errors or abuse. This can include IP addresses, browser and device information, requested pages, referring pages, timestamps, and server or security logs.
The website uses Google Analytics through its Google integrations to understand visits and improve content and usability. Google Analytics can use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about device and browser characteristics and interactions with the website. Google describes its handling of information at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. Google also provides an Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
You can use your browser settings to block or delete cookies and clear locally stored information. Blocking storage may affect sign-in, resource access, saved preferences, or locally saved tool data. Browser “Do Not Track” signals do not have a single universally adopted standard; this notice does not promise that every website service responds to those signals.
How information is used
- To respond to inquiries, discuss projects or events, and provide requested professional support.
- To provide requested resources, administer access, and send necessary service or account communications.
- To send resource updates and marketing communications associated with a subscription or registration, subject to your choices and applicable law.
- To understand website use, improve content and tools, maintain security, prevent misuse, and meet applicable legal obligations.
Email preferences
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe link in a message or by emailing David. Unsubscribing from marketing does not by itself cancel eligible resource access or prevent necessary replies, account messages, or communications about an ongoing engagement. A limited record of an unsubscribe request may be kept so that the preference can be respected. We do not sell your email address to third-party advertisers.
Calculators, recipes, and local storage
The Recipe Converter and Food-Cost Calculator describe their recipe and cost-sheet storage as local to your browser and device. Those saved recipes and cost sheets are not submitted to David merely by using the local save feature. Exporting creates a file under your control; sharing or sending that file is a separate action. Clearing browser storage, switching browsers, or changing devices can remove or make local records unavailable, so keep your own backups where needed.
Some tools open on a separate hosted domain. Hosting providers may still process ordinary technical traffic information even when recipe or costing data stays on your device. If you choose to send tool data to David for assistance, it becomes part of that correspondence.
Service providers and external websites
Website hosting, email delivery, forms, resource access, analytics, and related technical services may process information as needed to provide those functions. The site uses WordPress, Hostinger services, Google integrations, WPForms, and MemberMagix. Information may also be disclosed where required by law or where reasonably necessary to address fraud, abuse, security incidents, or legal claims.
Links to Amazon, social networks, WhatsApp, and other external services take you to services with their own privacy practices. Purchases made on Amazon are handled by Amazon; do not send payment information to this website to buy a book. If third-party content is embedded, its provider may receive technical information when that content loads. Review the relevant provider’s privacy policy before using its services.
Retention and security
Retention depends on the purpose and type of record. Inquiry and project correspondence is retained for handling the request, related professional work, and necessary follow-up. Member and resource-access records are retained while needed to administer access and preferences. Technical records are subject to the needs and retention settings of the services operating the website. Records may need to be kept longer for applicable accounting, legal, security, or dispute-resolution requirements.
You may ask about retention of your particular information or request deletion using the contact address below. Some records may need to be retained for legal requirements, security, ongoing services, or to honor an unsubscribe request. No website, email system, or method of storage can guarantee absolute security.
Your choices and privacy requests
Depending on where you live and which laws apply, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information, or to exercise other applicable privacy rights. Email david@chefdavidarnold.com with your request and the email address associated with the information. Reasonable verification may be needed before information is disclosed or changed. Do not send identity documents unless specifically requested through an appropriate process.
The business is based in the United States and serves an international audience. Service providers may process information in the United States and other countries where they operate; privacy protections may differ from those in your location.
Children
The website’s consulting, professional education, and resource-registration services are intended for adults and foodservice professionals, not children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact David so the matter can be reviewed and the information removed as appropriate.
Changes and related terms
This notice may be updated as the website and services change. The date at the top identifies the latest revision. Use of the website and resources is also described in the Terms and Conditions. For a professional inquiry, visit Contact.
