Privacy
policy.

This policy describes how Thee Main Ingredient and Chef Willie Wallace (“we,” “us”) handle information submitted through theemainingredient.com.

Information you provide

When you send an event or partnership inquiry, we receive the details you enter, such as your name, email address, event type, date, location, guest range, budget range, and message. If you join the cookbook list, we receive your email address and your consent to receive the updates described beside that form.

How we use it

We use inquiry details to respond, consider availability, prepare a proposal, coordinate an event or collaboration, and maintain business records. We use cookbook-list details to send launch news and related updates. Use the Unsubscribe button at the bottom of a marketing email to leave the cookbook and promotional mailing lists. Unsubscribing does not delete your client records or stop messages about existing inquiries, bookings, or payments.

Website measurement

We measure page views, visits, broad traffic-source categories, device-size categories, inquiry-link clicks, and successful form actions to understand and improve the website. Our first-party analytics stores daily aggregate counts, not analytics cookies, IP addresses, persistent visitor identifiers, full referring URLs, query strings, names, or email addresses. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals disable this measurement. Operational hosting and third-party scheduling services may process data under their own policies.

Sharing and service providers

We may use service providers that help operate the website, store inquiry records, deliver email, or support scheduling and payment workflows. Information is shared with them only as needed to provide those services. We do not sell personal information. If you follow a link to a third-party service, that service’s own privacy policy applies there.

Retention and security

We keep information for as long as needed to respond to your request, provide services, maintain appropriate business records, and meet legal obligations. We use reasonable safeguards, but no website or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure.

Your choices and requests

You may ask us to access, correct, or delete information you submitted, subject to records we must retain. To make a request, email inquiries@theemainingredient.com. For press, television, speaking, or brand partnerships, contact partner@theemainingredient.com.

Children and changes

This site is intended for adults planning professional services. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through this site. We may update this policy; the date above identifies the latest revision.

This page is a practical website privacy notice, not legal advice. Have counsel review it against the final hosting, analytics, email, and customer-management setup.
