Privacy Policy
10/6/2026
Emily Weinberger, Private Chef ("I," "me") prepares and delivers home-cooked meals for families. This policy explains what information I collect, how I use it, and how I protect it.
Information I collect
When you use my client app, you may give me:
Contact details: your name, email address, mobile number, and delivery address
Household details: the number of adults and children, and children's ages
Allergies, dietary needs, and related details you choose to share
Food preferences, favorite dishes, and notes about your family's needs
Your responses to proposed menus and your ratings and comments on meals
Your text message preferences
Payment information, which is handled by my payment processor (see Payments below)
Information about children is provided by their parents or guardians. I do not collect information directly from children.
How I use it
I use your information only to:
Plan, prepare, and deliver your meals safely
Keep allergens and foods you avoid out of your meals
Communicate with you about menus, deliveries, and payments
Bill you for your meals and send receipts
Improve my menus based on your feedback
Who can see it
Only I see your information. I also use trusted service providers to run my app, send emails and text messages, and process payments. They handle your information only to provide those services.
I do not sell or rent your information, and I do not share it for advertising.
Payments
Clients pay Emily Weinberger, Private Chef directly by Zelle or by check. We never collect, see or store credit card numbers or bank account numbers, and no payments are processed through our client app. The app shows each weekly bill and its status (due, sent or paid). We keep a copy of bills and payment records in our bookkeeping software, QuickBooks Online, for accounting and tax purposes.
Text messages
If you choose to receive text messages by ticking the box on your client profile, we will text the mobile number on your profile about your weekly menu, deliveries and payments, including payment reminders. Texts are optional and are never used for marketing. Message frequency varies, usually a few messages a week. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP at any time to stop receiving texts, or HELP for help. You can also turn texts off on your profile. Your mobile number and your consent to receive texts are never sold or shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messages are sent through our messaging provider, Twilio.
How I protect it
Your information is stored in a secure, password-protected system. Each family can see only its own account. No system is perfectly secure, but I take reasonable steps to protect your information.
How long I keep it
I keep your information while you are a client and for a reasonable time afterward in case you return. I keep billing records as long as required for tax and accounting purposes. You can ask me to delete everything else at any time.
Your choices
You can view and update your information, and turn text messages on or off, in the app at any time. To request a copy of your information or have it deleted, email me at the address below.
Client app
Clients we invite can sign in to our client app at app.emilyweinberger.com using an emailed sign-in link or code. The app stores your family’s name, contact details, household information, food preferences, allergies, menu responses and meal ratings, so we can plan and prepare your meals. This information is stored securely with our service providers (Supabase for data storage, Vercel for hosting and Resend for email) and is used only to provide our services. You can view and update your information at any time on your profile, and you can ask us to delete your family’s information by emailing emily@emilyweinberger.com.
Changes to this policy
If I make changes, I will update the date at the top and let current clients know about any significant changes.
