Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 6, 2026

Smoke Sessions Barbecue ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you visit our website or contact us for catering services.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information only when you voluntarily provide it to us. This includes:

• —Your name, email address, and phone number when you submit a catering inquiry
• —Event details such as date, guest count, and event type when requesting a catering quote
• —Basic server logs automatically recorded by our web host (IP address, browser type, pages visited, referring URL)

We also use the Meta (Facebook) Pixel, which automatically collects information about how you use our site — such as pages visited and actions taken — to help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising. See Sections 3 and 5 for details.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide solely to:

• —Respond to your catering inquiry and provide a quote
• —Coordinate event logistics and confirm booking details
• —Contact you with updates directly relevant to your event
• —Improve the functionality and content of our website

We will never sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

3. Cookies & Tracking

Our website uses:

• —A session cookie to manage site access. It contains no personally identifiable information and expires when you close your browser.
• —The Meta (Facebook) Pixel, which sets cookies and collects usage data (such as pages visited and your browser information) to help us measure advertising performance and show you relevant ads on Meta platforms.
• —Self-hosted Matomo analytics to understand how visitors use our site. Our Matomo is configured cookie-free, honors your browser's "Do Not Track" setting, and the data it collects stays on our own server — it is never shared with or sold to third parties.

Data collected by the Meta Pixel is processed by Meta under Meta's Privacy Policy. You can manage how Meta uses this data through your Facebook Ad Preferences, and opt out of interest-based advertising via AboutAds.info. Blocking cookies in your browser also limits pixel tracking.

4. Data Retention

Catering inquiry information is retained only as long as necessary to fulfill your event or respond to your request. We do not maintain long-term databases of customer personal information. Server access logs are retained for no longer than 90 days.

5. Third-Party Services

Our website loads fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com). This request may transmit your IP address to Google. We use a Google Maps embed on our location page, which is subject to Google's Privacy Policy. We also use the Meta (Facebook) Pixel for advertising measurement, as described in Section 3; data it collects is transmitted to and processed by Meta Platforms, Inc. We have no control over data collected by these services.

Links to third-party platforms (Yelp, Facebook, Instagram, Uber Eats) are provided for convenience. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.

6. Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal information we hold about you. To exercise these rights, contact us directly:

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
