Information collected automatically
When you visit our website, our website platform (Squarespace) and the tools we use may collect technical information such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, how you arrived at our site, and general location (city or region).

How we use your information
- To respond to inquiries, prepare quotes, and make, deliver, and support your order.
- To process payments and gift cards and keep records of transactions.
- To send the emails you've asked for, such as First Slice welcome emails, new collections, seasonal menus, special offers, and birthday treats.
- To celebrate your birthday. We use your birthday month and day only to send birthday messages and offers.
- To understand how our website is used and improve our menu, website, and service.
- To measure how well our advertising works. We may use tools from Google, Meta (Facebook and Instagram), and TikTok to show our ads to people likely to be interested and to see which ads lead to inquiries.
- To protect against fraud and spam, and to meet our legal obligations.
Email and text messages
You will only receive marketing emails from us if you sign up for them. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can also unsubscribe by emailing us. We may still send messages about an order you placed.
If you opt in to text messages, message frequency varies and message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help. We do not sell or share your phone number or text-messaging consent with third parties for their own marketing.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only:
- With service providers that help us run the bakery, such as our website and online store platform, payment processors, our customer management and email platform, delivery partners, and analytics and advertising tools. They may use your information only to provide services to us.
- When required by law, or to protect our rights, our customers, or the public.
- If our business is sold or transferred, as part of that transaction.
