BLINET CHEF · YOUR DATA
Privacy policy
Last updated: 19 September 2026
Who is responsible for your data?
Martin Blinet EI, trading as Blinet Chef, SIREN 923 251 276, is the controller for enquiries and customer relations. Address: 3 square de Champagne, 77450 Montry, France. For privacy questions and requests: martinblinetpro@gmail.com.
What information is used?
The form asks for your first name, the requested experience and the location. These fields, marked with an asterisk, are required to prepare your enquiry; the form cannot continue without them. The date, number of guests and message are optional. A town or city is enough for an initial enquiry. When you send a message, Martin also receives the contact details provided by your messaging service, including your WhatsApp number or email address, and your correspondence.
Please do not enter medical information, bank details or confidential information about your guests in this form. If a dietary adjustment requires health information, arrangements will be agreed separately before collecting it.
How do the WhatsApp and email options work?
“Continue by email” opens your email application with a prefilled subject and message addressed to martinblinetpro@gmail.com. Your answers are passed to that application and, depending on how it works, to your email provider, including for drafts. You must confirm sending the message yourself. The website sends no email automatically. A configured email application is required; otherwise, contact the address shown directly.
Your message is prepared in your browser only; the website does not store it in a database. Clicking “Continue on WhatsApp” includes the fields in the link you open. They are transmitted to WhatsApp when the link opens, before you send the message. You then confirm sending it to Martin in WhatsApp. The link may remain in your browser history. You can email Martin instead if you prefer not to use WhatsApp.
Purposes and legal bases
Information is used to answer your enquiry, prepare a quotation and organise the requested service. The legal basis is taking steps at your request before a contract, then performing the contract if you book (GDPR Article 6(1)(b)). Necessary billing records are retained to meet legal obligations (Article 6(1)(c)). Retaining information strictly necessary to defend legal claims relies on Martin Blinet’s legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)).
The website has no newsletter sign-up, personalised advertising, automated decision-making or profiling. Using the form does not subscribe you to marketing.
Who receives your information?
Martin Blinet receives the enquiries you send him. Messaging providers transmit and process correspondence under their own terms: WhatsApp for WhatsApp messages and Google for the professional Gmail address. Information needed for billing may be shared with authorised accounting providers and authorities where required by law. Data is not sold.
WhatsApp and Google may process some information outside the European Economic Area. Their policies explain the countries and applicable safeguards, including standard contractual clauses where relevant, and how to obtain information about those transfers. Their policies are linked below.
Retention periods
Enquiries that do not lead to a booking: correspondence and contact details are deleted no later than 12 months after the last exchange. For completed services, operational information is kept during the contractual relationship; afterwards, only records required for legal obligations or claims are archived with restricted access. Invoices and accounting records are kept for 10 years from the financial year-end; evidence of contractual commitments is generally kept for 5 years, subject to specific applicable periods and ongoing disputes.
The website does not store form fields on its server. WhatsApp and Google also apply their own retention policies. Martin deleting correspondence does not automatically remove copies held by those services or by you.
Cookies and hosting
The website code adds no cookies, advertising trackers or analytics tools. Images, fonts and videos are served with the website. WhatsApp and Instagram content is not embedded: those services only open when you follow their links.
The website is hosted by Hostinger International Limited, 61 Lordou Vironos, 6023 Larnaca, Cyprus, on a server in the Netherlands. Hostinger processes connection data (IP address, date and time, requested resource, browser and server response) to deliver and secure the website, based on the legitimate interest in its availability and security (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)). Martin does not maintain a permanent copy of these logs. Technical retention depends on Hostinger’s settings and obligations; an exact period has not yet been confirmed. Please contact us for this detail. Hostinger’s privacy policy and data processing agreement explain safeguards for any transfers outside the EEA.
Your rights
Subject to the GDPR’s conditions, you may request access, correction, erasure and restriction of processing. Portability applies to automated processing based on a contract or consent; you may object to processing based on legitimate interests. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it at any time for the future. Legal retention duties can limit erasure.
Write to martinblinetpro@gmail.com or the postal address above, describing your request and providing enough information to locate your correspondence. Proportionate identity verification may be requested if there is reasonable doubt. Requests are normally answered within one month; complex or numerous requests may require an additional two months, with notice within the first month. You may also complain to the French data protection authority, CNIL.
