INFORMATION WE MAY COLLECT FROM YOU:

It is your choice whether or not to provide us with personal information. Personal information (or ‘personal data’) means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).
The information we may collect from you includes, but is not limited to:

It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please advise us if your personal information changes during your relationship with us.

We may provide you with the option to select whether you would like to receive information from us by opting in or out of receiving promotional offers. In some circumstances, you will not have the option to opt out, for example, when we are administering a transaction requested by you, or if we are satisfying a legal requirement.

Data Privacy and Security

It’s important for bakeries to comply with data protection regulations such as the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) or CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act). This involves:

Obtaining Consent: Ensuring customers agree to their data being collected and used.
Transparency: Clearly informing customers how their data will be used.
Data Security: Protecting collected data through secure storage and encryption.
Access and Control: Allowing customers to access their data and request its deletion if needed.

By implementing these practices, bakeries can effectively collect and use customer information while respecting privacy and maintaining trust.
