Last updated: November 2, 2026

1. Overview

Val Bar Consulting ("Val Bar," "we," "us," and "our") is based in Gainesville, Florida. We provide mobile bartending, event bar service, bar consulting, cocktail menu design, and new bar opening support.

This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. It applies to our website at www.valsmobilebartending.com (the "Site"), and to the text messages, emails, phone calls, forms, and booking tools we use to communicate with you.

By using the Site or contacting us, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site or send us your information.

2. Information we collect

"Personal Information" means information that identifies you or can reasonably be linked to you, such as your name, email address, phone number, or event details. "Non-Personal Information" means information that does not identify you, such as general traffic statistics.

We collect information in three ways.

Directly from you. When you fill out a form, request a quote, book a consultation, tasting, or audit, text or call us, or hire us, you may give us:

Your name, email address, and mobile phone number

Your event date, location, guest count, style, and drink preferences

Your business name, role, and details about your bar or restaurant

Billing details needed to send an invoice or process a payment

Any messages, notes, or files you choose to send us

Automatically. When you visit the Site, we and our service providers use cookies, pixel tags, and similar technologies to collect technical information. This can include your IP address, device and browser type, pages you view, the site that referred you, and the date and time of your visit.

From third parties. We may receive information from a wedding planner, venue, or employer who contacts us on your behalf. We may also receive information from advertising platforms, social media platforms, and other service providers that help us run our business.

If you give us Personal Information about another person, such as a guest, planner, or colleague, you confirm that you have the authority to do so.

We do not need sensitive personal information to provide our services. Please do not send us Social Security numbers, government ID numbers, or full payment card numbers by email or text.

3. How we use your information

We use Personal Information to:

Respond to your questions and prepare quotes, proposals, and menus

Schedule consultations, tastings, audits, and events

Provide our services, including planning, staffing, setup, and project work

Send invoices, process payments, and keep business and tax records

Send you texts, emails, and calls about your inquiry, appointment, event, or project

Send marketing messages when you have agreed to receive them

Operate, secure, and improve the Site and our services

Measure and improve our advertising

Prevent fraud, protect our legal rights, and comply with the law

4. Text messaging

If you give us your mobile number and agree to receive texts, or if you text us first, we may text you at that number. The details of our text program are in our Terms and Conditions.

Text messages may include appointment reminders and confirmations, replies to your questions, quote and booking updates, event logistics, and project updates. If you separately agree, they may also include promotional offers and news.

Consent to receive texts is not a condition of buying anything from us.

Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.

Reply STOP at any time to opt out. Reply HELP for help.

We do not share your mobile phone number or your text message opt-in consent with third parties for marketing or promotional purposes. We do not share them for any other purpose unless you give us your express written consent or the law requires disclosure.

The only exception is the text messaging platform, carriers, and aggregators that deliver our messages for us. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any other third party.

5. Email and phone calls

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link in the email or by contacting us. We may still send you messages about your inquiry, bookings, invoices, or services.

We do not record a phone call without telling you first.

6. Cookies, analytics, and advertising

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use cookies and similar technologies, such as pixel tags, to make the Site work, remember your preferences, understand how the Site is used, and measure our advertising.

We may use analytics and advertising tools from companies such as Google and Meta. These tools may collect information about your visit, such as pages viewed and actions taken. They may use it to show you our ads on other sites and to measure results.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. You can also manage personalized advertising in the privacy settings of the platforms you use, such as Google Ads Settings and Meta Ad Preferences. If you block cookies, parts of the Site may not work properly.

Do Not Track. Some browsers send a Do Not Track signal. At this time, the Site does not respond to Do Not Track signals.

We do not sell your Personal Information for money. Under some state laws, sharing online identifiers and website activity with advertising partners for targeted advertising may be treated as a "sale" or "sharing." You can opt out at any time by following the steps in section 11. Advertising partners do not receive your text message opt-in consent.

7. When we share your information

We share Personal Information only as needed to run our business and serve you:

Service providers. Companies that help us operate, such as our customer communication and scheduling platform (LeadConnector), website hosting and design providers, email and text message providers, payment processors, accounting and invoicing tools, analytics providers, and IT and security providers. They may use your information only to perform services for us. LeadConnector's privacy policy is available at https://www.leadconnectorhq.com/privacy-policy.

Event partners. Your planner, venue, caterer, or other vendors, when needed to deliver your event and at your request or with your approval.

Legal and safety. When required by law or legal process, to protect our rights, our customers, and the security of the Site, or to prevent fraud or harm.

Business changes. If we are involved in a sale, merger, financing, or transfer of some or all of our business, your information may be transferred as part of that deal.

With your consent. Any other person or company when you ask us to or agree to it.

We do not sell your Personal Information for money. Mobile information is handled as described in section 4. We may share de-identified or aggregated information that cannot reasonably identify you.

8. How we protect your information

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect Personal Information against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. We ask our service providers to protect it as well.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you believe your interaction with us is no longer secure, contact us right away. Where the law requires, we will notify you of a security incident that affects your Personal Information.

9. How long we keep your information

We keep Personal Information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes in this Privacy Policy. That includes providing our services and meeting legal, tax, and accounting requirements. We may keep it longer if there is a complaint or a reasonable prospect of a dispute.

When we no longer need it, we delete it or de-identify it. You can ask us to delete your information as described in section 11.

10. Children

The Site and our services are for adults. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from anyone under 18, and alcohol service is limited to guests 21 and older under Florida law. If you believe a child has given us Personal Information, contact us and we will delete it.
