Privacy Policy

Last Updated: December 22, 2025

At El Royalithos Catering Institute, your privacy matters to us. We understand that you're trusting us with your personal information, and we take that responsibility seriously. This privacy policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it. We've written this in plain language because we believe you deserve to understand exactly what happens with your data.

What Information We Collect

Personal Information You Give Us

When you register for our courses or get in touch with us, we'll ask for some basic information to help us serve you better. This typically includes:

  • Your full name
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Home address
  • Date of birth
  • Emergency contact information
  • Payment details (processed securely through our payment partners)
  • Any dietary restrictions or allergies (important for a catering institute!)

Information We Collect Automatically

When you visit our website, we automatically collect some technical information to help us improve your experience. This includes things like your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit, and how long you spend on them. We use this to understand how people use our site and make it better.

Photos and Videos

During classes and events, we sometimes take photos or videos for promotional purposes, social media, or our portfolio. We'll always let you know when we're filming, and you can opt out at any time. If you prefer not to be featured in our marketing materials, just let us know—we completely understand.

How We Use Your Information

We're not in the business of selling your data. Here's what we actually do with the information you share:

To Provide Our Services

We use your contact information to communicate with you about classes, schedules, cancellations, and any important updates. We need your payment information to process course fees, and we keep track of your attendance and progress throughout your training.

To Improve Your Experience

We look at how students interact with our courses and website to figure out what's working and what could be better. This helps us create better training programs and make our website easier to use.

To Keep You Informed

We'll send you important information about your courses, upcoming events, new programs we're offering, and special promotions. Don't worry—if you find our emails too frequent, you can always unsubscribe or adjust your preferences.

For Safety and Legal Reasons

Your emergency contact information is there in case something happens during class. We also need to keep certain records for legal and regulatory compliance, like attendance records and certification documentation.

How We Protect Your Information

We take security seriously. Your personal information is stored on secure servers with encryption, and we limit access to only those staff members who need it to do their jobs. Our payment processing is handled by trusted, secure payment providers who meet industry standards.

That said, no system is 100% foolproof. While we do everything we can to protect your data, we can't guarantee absolute security. If we ever experience a data breach that affects your information, we'll let you know right away.

Who We Share Your Information With

We don't sell your personal information to anyone. Period. However, there are a few situations where we might need to share it:

Service Providers

We work with trusted partners who help us run our business—like payment processors, email service providers, and our website hosting company. These partners only get the information they need to do their job, and they're required to keep it confidential.

Legal Requirements

If we're legally required to share information (like in response to a court order or government request), we will. We'll always try to notify you first unless we're legally prevented from doing so.

With Your Permission

Sometimes we might want to share your success story or testimonial. We'll always ask your permission first, and you're free to say no.

Your Rights and Choices

Your information belongs to you. Here's what you can do with it:

Access Your Information

You can ask us for a copy of the personal information we have about you. We'll provide it in a format that's easy to understand.

Update or Correct Information

If your contact details change or you spot an error in your records, just let us know and we'll update it.

Delete Your Information

You can request that we delete your personal information. Keep in mind that we might need to keep some records for legal or administrative purposes (like certification records or financial transactions), but we'll delete everything we don't legally need to keep.

Opt Out of Marketing

Not interested in promotional emails? No problem. Every marketing email we send has an unsubscribe link at the bottom. Click it, and we'll stop sending you promotional content (though we'll still send important information about your courses).

Cookies and Tracking

Our website uses cookies—small files that are stored on your device to help the site remember you and work properly. We use them to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and understand how people use our website.

You can set your browser to refuse cookies, but this might affect how well our website works for you. Some features might not function properly without cookies enabled.

Children's Privacy

While we welcome students of all ages, our website and online registration are not intended for children under 13. If you're under 18, please have a parent or guardian help you with registration. If we discover we've accidentally collected information from a child under 13, we'll delete it immediately.

How Long We Keep Your Information

We keep your information for as long as you're an active student and for a reasonable period afterward. Some information (like certification records and financial transactions) we're required by law to keep for several years. Once we no longer need your information, we'll securely delete or anonymize it.

Changes to This Policy

We might update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll let you know via email or by posting a notice on our website. The "Last Updated" date at the top will always tell you when the most recent changes were made.

Your Trust Matters: We're committed to being transparent about how we handle your information. If anything in this policy is unclear, please don't hesitate to ask us about it.
