PRIVATE CHEF ALGARVE
Privacy policy
How we handle your information.
Prototype review version · 27 October 2026
About this policy
Private Chef Algarve by Chef Caetano is the commercial brand. The public contact for enquiries and privacy is info@privatechef-algarve.com. This review version describes how the website works. The provider’s full legal identity and other applicable details must be validated before commercial publication.
Enquiries and purposes
The form uses the name, contact, approximate location, preferred date, guest count and service details you choose to provide to prepare an enquiry. Preparing it does not transmit it to the business. If you choose to send the message through WhatsApp, the information is used to respond, prepare a proposal and organise a service if agreed. Do not include payment details, identity documents or health information in this general form. Discuss any necessary allergy information directly with the chef.
Lawful bases
Steps taken at your request before entering a contract and performance of a contract support enquiry and service arrangements under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Compliance with legal obligations applies where required under Article 6(1)(c). Optional third-party embedded content is activated only following your choice. An enquiry does not subscribe you to marketing.
Storage and retention
This prototype has no enquiry database and does not save form fields in browser storage. Sent enquiries are retained in the communication channel used. The business must confirm its retention schedule before public launch, including the time needed to answer enquiries, legal retention requirements and the protection of contractual rights. Cookie choices are stored in localStorage for up to six months, unless changed or removed sooner.
Recipients and external services
The hosting provider processes technical access data needed to deliver and secure the website. WhatsApp processes messages when you choose to use it. Instagram or Google services receive technical information only when enabled content is loaded or when you follow an external link. These providers may process data outside the EEA under their applicable safeguards. Actual hosting contracts, subprocessors and transfer safeguards must be verified for the final hosting configuration.
Your rights
Subject to the applicable conditions, you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability or object to processing, and withdraw consent without affecting earlier lawful processing. Contact +351 930 400 322. You may also complain to the Portuguese supervisory authority, Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados, at www.cnpd.pt. There is no automated decision-making or profiling implemented in this prototype.
Choices and updates
Use Cookie settings in the footer to review optional content choices. Required fields are needed to prepare an enquiry; optional fields may be left blank. This review version was updated on 27 October 2026. The identity and retention items above remain publication prerequisites.
External provider information
Optional widgets contact Elfsight and may display content from Google and Instagram. You can withdraw your choice in Cookie settings. This removes the widget frames and stops them running in this page. Cookies already set by external providers may need to be removed in your browser.
Optional statistics
We use Google Analytics 4, provided by Google, to understand visits and pages viewed, only after you allow statistics. Technical and browsing data may include device information and cookie identifiers. This measurement relies on your consent. Our own events do not send form field values or the prepared WhatsApp message.
Your choice is stored on the device for up to 183 days. First-party Analytics cookies named _ga and _ga_* are configured for 180 days, renewable on permitted visits. Withdrawing consent disables measurement, attempts to delete those first-party cookies and reloads the page to end tag execution. This does not erase data previously sent; contact info@privatechef-algarve.com with questions about your rights. Retention in the Google Analytics property is configured by the controller.
