What we collect and why

Last updated 17 August 2026

What the booking form collects

Your name, email, mobile number, the rental address or listing name, your guest count, your menu choices and any dietary requirements you tell us about. Plus a gate code, if you send one.

All of it exists for one purpose: cooking dinner at the right house on the right night without poisoning anybody. We do not ask for anything we do not use.

Dietary and allergy information

Allergy details are health information and we treat them that way. They go to the chef cooking your booking and nowhere else, and they are deleted with the rest of the booking record.

Gate codes and access details

Deleted within seven days of your booking date. We have no reason to keep the entry code to a house we are not returning to, and holding it would be a liability for both of us.

How long we keep a booking record

Needs the owner’s terms and a lawyer’s eyes

Needs a decision and a real number: how long booking records are retained for accounting purposes, and what is deleted at that point.

Who else sees your data

Needs the owner’s terms and a lawyer’s eyes

Needs the real list once the stack is wired: the CMS or database holding booking requests, the email and SMS providers, the payment processor handling deposits, and the analytics tooling.

Each one needs naming. "Trusted third parties" is not a disclosure.

Analytics and cookies

Needs the owner’s terms and a lawyer’s eyes

Needs a decision before launch: whether analytics runs at all, and if so which tool and whether it sets cookies. If it is cookieless and aggregate, this page can say so and no consent banner is needed — which is also better for page speed.

Asking us to delete your data

Email or text us and we will delete your booking record, subject to whatever we are legally required to retain for accounting. You do not need to give a reason.

Written to be read rather than to be defensible. If anything here is unclear, ask and we will explain it in plainer words.
