Privacy policy
What we keep, and what we don't.
Effective October 29, 2026
Who we are
We're Alden Kitchen LLC, a licensed cottage-food bakery in Elburn, Illinois. This policy covers aldenkitchen.com, our text alerts, and the orders you place with us.
What we collect
Your name, phone number and email when you pre-order or join our texts. What you ordered. The texts you send us — STOP, HELP, or a question.
This website itself collects nothing. No cookies, no analytics, no tracking.
How we use it
To fill your order and tell you when it's ready. To send the texts you asked for. To answer you when you write to us. Nothing else.
Text messages
Your mobile number is used only for the Alden Kitchen texts you opted into.
We do not sell or share your mobile number or SMS consent with third parties or affiliates for marketing purposes.
Who handles it for us
Three services process your information on our behalf and under our instructions, to do the things above and nothing more:
Hotplate
Pre-orders and payment for them.
Square
Card payments at the market table.
Project Broadcast
Sending and receiving our text messages.
We don't sell your information to anyone, and we don't give it to anyone else except when the law requires it.
Your choices
Reply STOP to any text to end them. Reply HELP for help.
Email hello@aldenkitchen.com to see, correct or delete what we have about you. We'll do it within 30 days.
