Privacy Policy

Last updated: 9 August 2026

This policy explains what personal information The Mixologist ZW (“we”, “us”) collects, why we collect it and what we do with it. It applies to this website and to enquiries made through it.

Information we collect

We collect only what we need to respond to you and deliver a service:

• Enquiry details — your name, email address, phone number, preferred contact method, and the event information you provide (type, date, venue, guest count, beverage preferences, budget range and notes).
• Files you upload — mood boards or event briefs you choose to attach to an enquiry.
• Messages — anything you send through the contact form.
• Newsletter details — your email address, if you subscribe.
• Limited technical data — the page an enquiry came from and a one-way hashed form of your IP address, used only to prevent spam and abuse. We do not store your raw IP address.

How we use it

• To respond to your enquiry and prepare a quote.
• To plan and deliver the service you book.
• To send you a confirmation and any updates about your enquiry.
• To send newsletters, where you have subscribed.
• To protect the site from spam and abuse.

We do not sell your information. We do not use it for advertising profiling.

Who we share it with

We share information only with the service providers required to run this site and communicate with you — our hosting provider, our database provider, our transactional email provider and our media storage provider. Each processes data on our instructions only.

We may also disclose information where we are legally required to do so.

How long we keep it

Enquiries and event records are retained while we have an active relationship with you and for a reasonable period afterwards, so we can honour follow-ups, invoicing and records obligations. Newsletter subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe.

Your choices

• You can ask us what information we hold about you.
• You can ask us to correct anything that is wrong.
• You can ask us to delete your information, where we are able to.
• You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time.

To make any of these requests, email admin@themixologistzw.com.

Cookies

This website does not use advertising or third-party tracking cookies. We use only what is necessary for the site to function — including a temporary browser storage entry that saves your booking form progress so you do not lose it, and a secure session cookie for administrators signing in to the dashboard.

Security

We use encrypted connections, restricted administrator access and hashed credentials. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information.

Children

This website is not directed at children, and our services are provided to adults arranging events.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last changed.
