Privacy Policy
What happens to your information when you use this site.
Who this concerns
This policy explains how Ronin Chef (Nikolaos Papanikolaou, micro-entreprise, SIRET 107 610 750 00013, registered in France) collects and uses personal data submitted through roninchef.com, in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and French data protection law.
What data is collected
The contact form on this site asks for:
Contact details
Name and email address, so a reply can actually reach you.
Business context
Restaurant/business name, country or city, and covers per service — optional, but helps scope the conversation before it starts.
Your message
Whatever you write, plus your preferred contact method, biggest current challenge, and how you found Ronin Chef.
No account is created, no payment information is collected, and nothing is tracked automatically — this site does not use analytics or advertising cookies.
Why it's collected
Solely to respond to your inquiry about restaurant consulting. This is based on legitimate interest — replying to a message you chose to send — rather than any ongoing marketing use. Your details are never sold, rented, or shared with advertisers.
Where it goes
Form submissions are emailed directly to niko@roninchef.com via this site's own hosting (Hostinger International Ltd.) — no third-party form service or marketing platform is involved. Your message lives in that inbox, not in a separate database or CRM.
How long it's kept
As long as reasonably needed to handle the inquiry and any resulting consulting relationship — generally no more than a few years for non-clients, unless you ask for earlier deletion.
Your rights
Under GDPR, you can ask to:
Access
See what personal data is held about you.
Correct
Fix anything inaccurate.
Delete
Have your data removed entirely.
Object
Ask that your data no longer be used.
To exercise any of these, email niko@roninchef.com directly. If unresolved, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with France's data protection authority, the CNIL.
Fonts & external resources
This site loads typefaces from Google Fonts, which involves your browser making a request to Google's servers. Google Fonts does not set tracking cookies, but your IP address is visible to Google as part of that request, as with any external resource on the web.
