Privacy

Click to Table (“Click to Table,” “we,” “us”) publishes tools, articles, and worksheets for catering and hospitality professionals at clicktotable.com. This page explains what information we collect through the site, why we collect it, and the choices you have.

We keep this simple on purpose: most of what Click to Table does doesn’t require collecting anything about you at all.

Information we collect

Information stored only on your device

Most of Click to Table’s free tools, the Event Packet, Fleet Manager, the Guest Meal Planner, and others, run entirely in your browser. Data you enter into these tools, along with saved favorites, recently used tools, and similar preferences, is stored locally on your device (using your browser’s local storage) and, unless you are signed in, is not sent to or stored on Click to Table’s servers. Clearing your browser data or using a different device or browser will clear it. If you are signed in, your Event Packet is also synced to Click to Table’s servers so it is available across your devices. Your Brand Kit (your company name, logo, and brand color) is synced the same way. You can clear either at any time from within the tool or by deleting your account. AI-powered features such as the Event Day Brief Generator are an exception; see “Information sent to AI services” below.

Information sent to AI services

Three Click to Table features use an AI service to generate content: the Event Day Brief Generator, the Venue Walkthrough Planner’s AI brief, and the Grazing Table Planner’s AI-assisted setup. When you use the Event Day Brief Generator, the event fields you have filled in, including any free-text notes, are transmitted to Anthropic (our AI provider) to generate the brief. When you generate the Venue Walkthrough brief, your walkthrough notes, flagged issues, and follow-up questions are transmitted in the same way. When you use the Grazing Table Planner’s AI-assisted setup, the event description you type is transmitted to generate the starting composition. In every case this happens only when you click Generate, not automatically.

Click to Table does not store that data on our servers. Anthropic retains API inputs for up to 30 days under their commercial data retention policy and does not use them to train AI models by default. You can review Anthropic’s data practices at privacy.anthropic.com.

If your event notes contain personal information about guests, such as names, dietary needs, or medical information, that information will be included in the transmission. We recommend reviewing your notes before generating a brief if they contain details you prefer not to share with a third-party service.

Information you give us directly

• Account information. If you create a Click to Table account, we receive your name, email address, and profile image from Google sign-in.
• Payment information. If you subscribe to a paid plan, payment is processed by Stripe. Click to Table does not receive or store your card number; we retain only your subscription status and Stripe customer reference so we can manage your plan.
• Newsletter signup. If you subscribe to our newsletter, your email address is sent to Klaviyo, our email provider, to send you updates.
• Direct contact. If you email us or fill out a contact form, we keep that correspondence to respond to you.

Information collected automatically

We use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used, things like which pages are visited, how long people stay, and what device or general region they’re browsing from. This is aggregate usage data; we don’t use it to build individual profiles, and we don’t use it for advertising.

How we use this information

• To operate the site and the tools you use
• To create and maintain your account, if you have one
• To process payments and manage subscriptions, if you subscribe to a paid plan
• To send the newsletter and occasional product updates, only if you've subscribed
• To understand how the site is used so we can improve it
• To respond when you contact us

Cookies and similar technologies

Click to Table uses a small number of cookies and browser storage technologies:

• Strictly necessary. A session cookie that keeps you signed in, if you have an account. The site doesn’t work without this one.
• Analytics. Google Analytics sets cookies to distinguish returning visitors and measure site usage, as described above.
• Local storage. Used to save your tool data, favorites, and preferences on your own device, as described above. This isn’t a cookie in the strict sense (it’s never transmitted anywhere), but we mention it here for completeness.

Click to Table does not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, and we don’t run retargeting or ad pixels. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings; doing so may affect features like staying signed in.

Who we share information with

We don’t sell your personal information, and we don’t share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We share information only with the service providers that help us run the site, each of whom is only given what they need to do their job:

• Google (sign-in and Analytics)
• Stripe (payment processing)
• Klaviyo (newsletter delivery)
• Anthropic (AI-powered features: when you use the Event Day Brief Generator, the Venue Walkthrough Planner’s AI brief, or the Grazing Table Planner’s AI-assisted setup, the details you submit are processed by Anthropic to generate the output; Anthropic retains this data for up to 30 days and does not use it for model training by default)

We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Click to Table or others.

Your choices

• Unsubscribe from the newsletter anytime using the link in any email we send.
• Delete your account or ask what information we have on file by emailing info@clicktotable.com.
• Clear a tool's saved data anytime from within that tool, or by clearing your browser's local storage.
• Block or limit cookies in your browser settings.

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we’ve collected, to request its deletion or correction, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. As stated above, Click to Table does not sell personal information and does not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, so there is nothing to opt out of today. You can still exercise any of these rights by emailing info@clicktotable.com, and we’ll respond within a reasonable time. We extend this same practice to residents of other states with similar privacy laws.

Data retention

We keep account information for as long as your account is active, and newsletter information for as long as you remain subscribed. If you delete your account or unsubscribe, we remove or anonymize that information within a reasonable time, except where we’re required to keep it longer (for example, payment records for tax purposes).

Children’s privacy

Click to Table is a professional resource for catering and hospitality operators. It isn’t directed at children, and we don’t knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.

Changes to this policy

We may update this page as the site changes. We’ll update the “Last updated” date above, and if a change is significant, we’ll make a reasonable effort to let registered users know.
