1. SCOPE AND CONSENT
By submitting an inquiry or engaging the services of 2Gathering LLC (“the Company”), you (“the Client”) expressly acknowledge and agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy. This document governs the collection, storage, and processing of personal and event-related data.

2. DATA MINIMIZATION & UTILIZATION
The Company collects personal identifiers (Name, Email, Phone) and event-specific logistics. This data is utilized solely for:

Contractual fulfillment and culinary logistics.
Regulatory tax compliance and internal record-keeping.
Secure financial processing via encrypted third-party gateways.

3. FORCE MAJEURE & EXTERNAL VULNERABILITIES
The Company maintains reasonable administrative and technical safeguards. However, the Client acknowledges that no system is infallible.

Limitation of Responsibility: The Company shall not be held liable for "Acts of God," cyber-terrorism, state-sponsored hacking, or failures in the global telecommunications infrastructure.

Third-Party Infrastructure: Since the Company utilizes third-party hosting and cloud services, any breach occurring at the provider level is governed by the provider’s liability terms, not the Company’s.

4. INDEMNIFICATION & LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of California:

Liability Cap: In no event shall 2Gathering LLC be liable for any indirect, punitive, or consequential damages. Our total aggregate liability for any data-related claim is strictly limited to the professional fee paid by the Client for the specific engagement.

Client Indemnity: The Client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless 2Gathering LLC from any claims arising from the Client’s provision of incorrect or unauthorized third-party data (e.g., guest contact lists).

5. DISCLOSURE TO OPERATIONAL PARTNERS
To ensure seamless event execution, the Company may disclose specific logistics (location, guest preferences, allergy data) to internal staff, contracted mixologists, and culinary partners. Such disclosure is strictly functional and does not constitute a "sale" of data under the CCPA.

6. STATUTORY RIGHTS (CCPA/CPRA)
As a California-based entity, we comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act. Residents maintain the right to:

Right to Know: Request disclosure of data collected.
Right to Delete: Request permanent removal of non-essential records.
Non-Discrimination: We will not deny service based on the exercise of these rights.

7. DATA RETENTION POLICY
In compliance with IRS and California Franchise Tax Board requirements, financial and contractual records are retained for a period of seven (7) years, after which they are securely purged.

8. GOVERNING LAW
This policy is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Any disputes arising from these terms shall be resolved in the jurisdiction of the courts located in San Francisco, CA.
