Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 27, 2026

Introduction

This privacy policy explains how Max's Bistro ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and shares your information when you visit our website at maxsbistro.com.

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. Please read this policy carefully. If you do not agree with any part of it, please discontinue use of our website.

What Information We Collect

Information You Give Us

When you use our catering inquiry form, we collect your name, email address, and any details you provide about your event. We only use this information to respond to your inquiry.

Information We Automatically Collect

When you visit our website, your browser automatically sends certain technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and operating system. We also use Google Analytics — a basic, non-intrusive setup that was installed years ago to briefly measure traffic to a catering page. We do not actively monitor or analyze this data.

We also use an embedded TripAdvisor widget to display customer reviews. TripAdvisor may set cookies when you interact with this widget. These cookies are blocked by our consent banner until you give permission.

Cookies & Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We use cookies to help our site function properly and to understand basic visitor patterns.

For a full list of the cookies we use and their purposes, please see our Cookie Policy.

Do Not Track Requests

We honor "Do Not Track" signals. When a DNT signal is received, we ensure no tracking scripts are loaded.

Why We Collect Information

  • To respond to catering inquiries you submit
  • To understand basic visitor patterns (non-intrusive analytics — not actively monitored)
  • To display TripAdvisor reviews when you choose to interact with them

How Long We Keep Your Data

We retain catering inquiry submissions for up to 6 months. Analytics data is retained according to Google's standard data retention policies. If you have any concerns about data retention, please contact us.

Sale or Sharing of Information

We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties. We never have, and we have no intention of doing so.

Children's Privacy

Our website is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

  • Right to Correct: You may request that we correct any inaccurate personal information we hold about you.

We take reasonable security measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
