Privacy Policy

Preferred Sonoma Caterers
Last updated: November 13, 2026

This policy describes how Preferred Sonoma Caterers (“PSC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information associated with sonomacaterers.com and information you choose to provide when contacting us or applying for work.

Information collected when you visit the website

Our website is hosted by IONOS. IONOS may process technical information needed to deliver, maintain, and protect the site, such as the page or file requested, the referring page, browser and device details, and the time of access. IONOS states that its standard web-hosting logs anonymize IP addresses and are retained for up to eight weeks. The exact processing depends on the IONOS service and hosting contract used for this website.

IONOS SiteAnalytics

We use IONOS SiteAnalytics to review general website traffic and help maintain and improve the site. IONOS says SiteAnalytics may process the referring page, requested page or file, browser type and version, operating system, device type, access time, and an IP address that is anonymized when received and used only to estimate location. IONOS says SiteAnalytics does not use cookies and uses this information for statistical evaluation and technical optimization. SiteAnalytics reporting and retention depend on the IONOS service and contract.

Information you provide to PSC

If you contact us by email or phone, we receive the contact details and message information you choose to provide, including details about an event or catering inquiry. The Contact page currently provides email and phone links; it does not submit an inquiry form to PSC through the website.

If you apply for a job, we receive the information you include in your application or résumé. This may include your name and contact details, availability, employment and education history, references, and the last four digits of your Social Security number requested on PSC’s current application. We use application information to review candidates, communicate with applicants, and administer hiring.

How we use information

We use information to respond to inquiries, provide and manage catering services, consider job applications, operate and protect the website, review general site performance, and meet legal or recordkeeping obligations.

When information is shared

We provide information to service providers when needed to operate the website, deliver business email, protect our systems, or support our business operations. IONOS provides website hosting and SiteAnalytics. Email and communications providers process messages sent to PSC. We may also disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect PSC, our customers, applicants, or others.

PSC does not sell personal information. We do not use IONOS SiteAnalytics data to identify individual visitors or to serve advertising based on their activity across other websites.

Links to other websites

Some pages link to third-party websites and services, including map, social-media, review, venue, and vendor sites. The Contact page’s map is an outbound link, not an embedded Google Map. When you choose to follow an external link, that provider may receive information from your browser and handles it under its own privacy policy. PSC does not control those third-party practices.

Cookies and browser privacy signals

IONOS states that SiteAnalytics does not use cookies. We do not currently respond to browser “Do Not Track” signals. Based on PSC’s current website configuration, we do not knowingly use third-party tools to track visitors’ activity across unrelated websites.

Retention and security

We keep email, inquiry, and job-application information for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described above, to maintain business records, and to meet legal obligations. IONOS handles hosting logs and SiteAnalytics data under the terms and retention practices for the applicable IONOS service. We use reasonable safeguards for information we maintain, but no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure.
