1. Who We Are

The Daily Starter ("we," "us," or "our") is a small-batch bakery that accepts online orders for in-person pickup. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

2. Information We Collect

When you place an order or subscribe to notifications, we may collect:

• Name — to identify your order at pickup
• Phone number — to send order confirmations and, if you opt in, bake day announcements via SMS
• Email address — to send order confirmations and, if you opt in, marketing notifications
• Order details — items, quantities, payment method, and pickup time

3. How We Use Your Information

• Order fulfillment — processing your order, confirming details, and coordinating pickup
• SMS notifications — order confirmations and, with your consent, bake day announcements. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies. Text STOP to opt out at any time.
• Email notifications — order confirmations and, with your consent, promotional updates. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in any email.
• Improving our service — understanding order patterns to better plan our bake days

4. SMS/Text Messaging

By providing your phone number and placing an order or subscribing to notifications, you consent to receive text messages from us. These may include:

6. Data Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure password storage, and access controls. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, but we do our best to protect your data.
