Privacy Policy

Effective November 12, 2026

This policy explains what information chefpepe.com collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. “We” means Pèpe International, Inc., the family company behind Vesuvio, Little Napoli, Carmel Bakery and Carmel Bakery at the Portola Hotel.

Information you give us

• Newsletter. When you sign up, we collect your email address and any name you enter. Our newsletter is sent through MailerLite.
• Feedback form. When you send feedback, we collect what you enter, such as your name, email, phone number, details of your visit and your comments. The form is run by Typeform.
• Job applications. When you apply for a job, we collect what you enter, such as your contact details, work history and the position you want. The form is run by Typeform.

Reservations, online orders and gift cards are handled on our partners’ sites: Tock for reservations, Toast for online orders and gift cards, and DoorDash for some bakery orders. When you use those sites, their privacy policies apply to the information you give them.

Information collected automatically

When you visit chefpepe.com, some information is collected automatically through cookies and similar tools:

• Google Analytics (through Google Tag Manager) records the pages you visit, the buttons you click, the site that sent you, your device and browser, and your approximate location based on your IP address.
• Microsoft Clarity records how visitors use our pages, such as clicks, scrolling and mouse movement, so we can see what works and what doesn’t.
• Our web host keeps standard server logs, such as IP address, browser type and the time of each request.

Google and Microsoft may collect information about your online activity over time and across different websites. Their use of that information is covered by their own privacy policies.

How we use information

• To answer your feedback and questions.
• To review job applications.
• To send our newsletter, if you signed up.
• To understand how our website is used and make it better.
• To keep our website secure and to comply with the law.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information only with the service providers that help us run our website and business (MailerLite, Typeform, Google, Microsoft and our web host), with our partners when you choose to use them (Tock, Toast and DoorDash), and when the law requires it. We do not share your personal information with other companies for their own direct marketing.

Your choices

• Email. Every newsletter has an unsubscribe link.
• Cookies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the site may not work as well without them.
• Google Analytics. You can opt out with Google’s browser add-on.
• Do Not Track. Our website does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals from browsers.

See, correct or delete your information

You can ask us what personal information we have about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Send your request through our feedback form or by mail to the address below. We may need to confirm who you are before we act on a request.

Children

Our website is not meant for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Keeping information safe

We use reasonable measures to protect the information we collect. No website or email is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee it. We keep information only as long as we need it for the reasons in this policy or as the law requires.

If we change this policy, we will post the new version on this page and update the effective date at the top.
