Taste & See Bakery

Privacy Policy

Last updated October 27, 2026

This policy explains what information Taste & See Bakery collects when you visit our website, order cake pops or get in touch, how we use it, and who else handles it. We have tried to write it plainly and to describe only what our website actually does.

1. Who we are

Taste & See Bakery is a Texas cottage food operation in Heath, Texas, making cake pops to order (Texas DSHS cottage food registration No. 19857). In this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” mean Taste & See Bakery.

2. Information we collect

When you order online

Our order panel sends these details to our website’s server so it can price your order and open a secure Stripe checkout page:

• the flavors and number of dozens you chose;
• your pickup date;
• any notes you type (for example colors, the occasion, or allergy questions);
• your answers to the optional questions, if you choose to answer them: the occasion, how you heard about us, and your birthday month (we never ask for the day or the year);
• whether you ticked either marketing box, and when; and
• that you agreed to our Terms, Refund & Cancellation Policy and Order & Pickup Policy.

On the Stripe checkout page you then enter your email address, phone number, card details, name on the card, and billing country and ZIP code. Those go to Stripe, not to our website. See Payments and Stripe.

Please don’t put sensitive health information in the notes field beyond what we need to answer an allergy question.

When your payment succeeds, Stripe tells our website, and we record the order in our own database: your name, email address, phone number and billing ZIP code as you gave them to Stripe, the flavors, how they are packed, your pickup date, your notes, the totals, and a reference to the Stripe payment. This is the bakery’s own record of what to bake and who to hand it to. It never includes your card number or security code.

When you send a quote request

Our “Contact” form sends your name, email address, phone number and your notes to our website, where we store them so we can reply and quote. You can also add up to three photos or PDFs, such as an invitation, a color palette or a photo of your decor. We store them with your request, and they are emailed to us with it. Photos are made smaller on your device before they are sent. It asks nothing else, and it does not ask for marketing consent. The form also contains one hidden field that people never see; if anything is typed into it we treat the message as automated spam and do not store it.

If sending fails, your own email app opens with the same message already written, so you can send it yourself.

When you email us

We receive whatever you choose to share, along with your email address.

Collected automatically

Our website is hosted by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical information needed to deliver and protect the site, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages requested and the time of the request.

We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits. When a page loads, a small Cloudflare script reports usage information such as the page viewed, the referring website, your browser and device type, your approximate country, and how quickly the page loaded. Because the report is sent over the internet, Cloudflare also receives your IP address with it. It does not set cookies or use browser storage, and we don’t use it to identify you.

We also use Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use our website, so we can find what is confusing or broken. It records how each page is used (clicks, taps, scrolling and mouse movement, the pages viewed, the referring website, browser and device type, and approximate location based on your IP address) and shows it to us as heatmaps and replays of visits. Anything you type into a form field and your choices in drop-down lists are never sent to Clarity, and numbers and email addresses shown on the page are hidden. Clarity does not run on our order confirmation page or on Stripe’s checkout page. Its cookies are on by default in the United States and most other places, and you can turn them off at any time; in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland they are used only if you accept them. Without its cookies, each page you view is recorded as a separate visit. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we don’t load Clarity at all. We don’t use Clarity to identify you, and we do not use advertising or social media tracking tools. See our Cookie Policy.

We also use Google Analytics, on our website at www.tasteandseebakery.co, to see which pages and sources (such as searches or links) bring visitors. It reports the pages you view, how you arrived, roughly how long you stay and how far you scroll, clicks on links that leave our site, your browser and device type, and your approximate location. Anything you type into our forms is never sent to it, it does not run on our order confirmation page, and Google Analytics does not log or store IP addresses. It is loaded only while Analytical cookies are on (on by default in the United States and most other places; in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland only if you accept them), and not at all if your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal. We have switched off Google’s advertising features (Google signals, ad personalization and advertising storage), so we don’t use it for advertising or to identify you.

What we don’t collect

There are no customer accounts or passwords on this website, and our website never receives your full card number or security code. The two marketing boxes are the only sign-up we offer; they are never ticked for you, and leaving them alone does not affect your order.

3. Payments and Stripe

Taste & See Bakery does not receive or store your full card number or security code. Through our Stripe account we can see the information needed to run and support your order: your name, email address, phone number, billing country and ZIP code, the items and total, your pickup date and notes, the payment status, and limited card details that Stripe displays, such as the card brand and last four digits. Stripe also uses payment information to prevent fraud, as described in its own privacy policy.

4. How we use your information

• to make, package and hand over your order;
• to contact you about your order, including sending you the pickup address before your pickup date;
• to answer questions, quote custom orders, and respond to allergy questions;
• to process refunds and handle payment questions or disputes;
• to keep the business and tax records we are required to keep;
• if, and only if, you ticked the box for it, to send you occasional emails or text messages about new flavors, specials and seasonal ordering, and, a few days after each order is picked up, one email asking how it went and inviting you to review us on Google; and
• to protect our website, our customers and our business from fraud and misuse.

5. Who we share it with

We share personal information only with the service providers that help us run the bakery, and only for the purposes above:

We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect the safety of our customers or the public. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for targeted advertising.

Our website links to our Instagram page. If you follow that link, Instagram (Meta) handles your visit under its own policies.

6. Marketing

We send marketing emails and text messages only to people who asked for them. The two boxes — one for email, one for text messages — are separate, are never ticked for you, and are never a condition of ordering. We record which one you ticked and when.

Every marketing email tells you how to unsubscribe and carries our mailing address; the review email has a one-click unsubscribe link. We never offer anything in return for a review. You can stop marketing text messages by replying STOP, and you can ask us to stop either at any time by email or text. Messages about an order you have placed — your confirmation, your pickup address, a problem with your order — are not marketing, and you get those whether or not you ticked a box.

7. Cookies and tracking

Our website does not load advertising pixels or social media embeds. It uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts visits without cookies, and Microsoft Clarity and Google Analytics, whose cookies are on by default unless you turn them off (in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, only if you accept them). Our cookie banner and Cookie Preferences panel let you accept or reject optional cookies, or choose each kind: Analytical (Clarity and Google Analytics) and Tracking, which we don’t use today. We remember your choice in your browser’s local storage for 12 months; you can change it at any time with Cookie Preferences at the bottom of every page. Our fonts are served from our own website. Stripe’s checkout page, which is not part of our website, uses its own cookies. Details are in our Cookie Policy.

8. How long we keep it

We keep order and payment records for as long as we need them to fulfill orders, handle refunds and questions, and meet legal and tax record-keeping obligations. Stripe keeps its own records as described in its privacy policy. Microsoft keeps Clarity recordings for 30 days, and a small sample, or any recording we mark as a favorite, for up to 9 months. Google keeps Google Analytics data for up to 14 months.

Quote requests that don’t turn into an order are cleared out periodically. If you ask us to delete your information, we remove your customer record; the order itself stays in our books, without you attached to it, where tax rules require us to keep it.

We keep order records, emails and text messages for four years, then delete them.

9. Security

Our website is served only over encrypted HTTPS connections, and card payments are handled by Stripe rather than by our website. We limit who can access order information. No website or email system can be guaranteed completely secure, so please don’t send card numbers by email or text.

10. Your choices

You can ask us what personal information we have about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. We may need to keep some records, such as payment records, where the law requires it. To make a request, contact us using the details below. We will respond within a reasonable time and may need to confirm your identity first.

You can change your cookie choice at any time with Cookie Preferences at the bottom of every page, and we honor Global Privacy Control signals by not loading Microsoft Clarity or Google Analytics.

You can also change your mind about marketing at any time, without affecting anything you have ordered: use the unsubscribe link in any marketing email, reply STOP to a marketing text, or just ask us.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional privacy rights under state law.

11. Children

Our website is meant for adults placing orders. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

12. Changes to this policy, and contact

If we change how we handle personal information, we will update this page and the “Last updated” date above.
