California Privacy Notice
Effective date: 2026
Dolce by Tina (“Dolce by Tina,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a home-based cottage food bakery operating in Irvine, California. This California Privacy Notice explains how we collect, use, and share personal information about California residents, and describes the rights you have under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (together, the “CCPA”). It applies only to residents of California.
If anything below conflicts with our general Privacy Policy, this notice controls for California residents on the topics it covers.
Who This Notice Applies To
This notice applies to California residents whose personal information we collect when they place an order, contact us, sign up for our email or text updates, or visit our website at dolcebytina.com. It does not apply to information that is exempt from the CCPA, such as publicly available information, deidentified or aggregated information, or information already covered by certain other laws.
Personal Information We Collect
In the course of running a small cottage food business, we collect a limited amount of personal information. Over the past 12 months, we may have collected the following categories:
• Identifiers and contact details, such as your name, email address, phone number, and delivery address.
• Order information, such as the items you ordered, order notes, pickup or delivery details, and your communications with us.
• Marketing preferences, such as whether you have subscribed to our email or SMS updates.
• Website and device information, such as basic analytics data, general location inferred from your device, and how you interact with our site.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.
Payment card details are handled directly by our ordering and payment provider, Toast. We do not store your full payment card information.
Where We Get This Information
We collect personal information from the following sources:
• Directly from you, when you place an order, request delivery or pickup, email or call us, message us on Instagram, or sign up for updates.
• From our service providers, such as our ordering platform (Toast) and our email and text messaging platform (Klaviyo), when you interact with those services in connection with Dolce by Tina.
• Automatically, through basic website and analytics tools when you visit dolcebytina.com.
How We Use Your Information
We use personal information for ordinary business purposes, including to:
• Take, prepare, and fulfill your orders, including pickup and delivery.
• Communicate with you about your order, respond to questions, and provide customer service.
• Send you marketing messages by email or text if you have asked to receive them, and let you opt out at any time.
• Operate, maintain, and improve our website and our small business.
• Keep basic records and comply with applicable laws, including cottage food and tax requirements.
• Protect against fraud, and keep our business and customers safe.
Who We Share Information With
We are a very small business and we share personal information only with the service providers that help us run it. These providers are permitted to use the information only to perform services for us. They include:
• Toast, our online ordering and payment processor, which handles orders and payment card processing.
• Klaviyo, our email and text message marketing platform, which sends updates to subscribers.
• Framer, which hosts our website, dolcebytina.com.
We may also disclose personal information if required by law, in response to a valid legal request, or to protect our rights, our customers, or the public.
We Do Not Sell or Share Your Personal Information
Dolce by Tina does not sell your personal information, and we have not done so in the past 12 months. We also do not share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and we do not exchange it for money or other valuable consideration. Because we do not sell or share personal information in this way, we do not offer a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link.
Your California Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, you have the following rights, subject to certain limits under the CCPA:
• The right to know. You may request that we tell you what categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, where we got it, why we use it, and who we have shared it with.
• The right to delete. You may request that we delete the personal information we have collected from you, subject to legal exceptions (for example, information we need to complete an order or keep for our records).
• The right to correct. You may request that we correct inaccurate personal information we hold about you.
• The right to opt out of sale or sharing. As explained above, we do not sell or share personal information, so there is nothing to opt out of. This right is included for your reference.
• The right to non-discrimination. We will not treat you differently, deny you products or services, or charge you a different price because you exercised any of your privacy rights.
How to Submit a Request
You may submit a request to know, delete, or correct your personal information by contacting us:
• Email: info@dolcebytina.com
• Phone: (949) 942-5549
Please tell us that you are making a California privacy request and describe what you would like us to do.
How We Verify Your Request
To protect your information, we need to confirm your identity before we act on a request. We will typically do this by asking you to confirm details we already have on file, such as the name, email address, or phone number associated with your orders or subscription. We only use the information you provide for verification to process your request. If we cannot verify your identity, we may not be able to fulfill your request, and we will let you know.
We will respond to verifiable requests within the timeframes required by the CCPA. There is normally no charge to submit a request.
Authorized Agents
You may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf. If you do, we may ask the agent for proof that you gave them written permission to act for you, and we may still ask you to verify your own identity directly with us before we complete the request.
