Privacy and what we hold

This notice covers the Firecourse website and the records that arise from engagements. Last revised 1 June 2026.

What we collect

• Enquiries: the details you type into the enquiry form or send by email.
• Engagement records: invoices, POS exports, recipe and yield data, timing sheets and photographs taken in your kitchen with your permission.
• Site logs: address, page, time and user agent, for security and capacity. No analytics script, no advertising tag, no cookie set by this site.

Your operating data

Purveyor invoices, sales mix and costings are commercially sensitive and we treat them as such. They are held on firm systems, not on personal devices; they are never shared with another client, a purveyor or a broker; and they are not used in anonymised benchmarking unless you agree in writing at the start of the engagement. About half of clients agree, and their data appears only as a range across at least eight restaurants.
