Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 23, 2026

El Ranchito ("we," "us," "our") operates elranchitoatx.com and provides live-cooking taco catering for private parties and events in the Austin, Texas area. This page explains what information we collect when you use our website, why we collect it, and how it's handled.

Information We Collect

When you submit our booking form, we collect the information you provide directly: your name, phone number, email address, event date, guest count, ZIP code, protein and tortilla preferences, optional add-ons, and any notes you include. We do not ask for or collect payment or financial information through this website.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information you submit solely to respond to your party request, prepare a quote, and coordinate your event. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Third-Party Services

Our booking form is processed by Formspree, a third-party form-handling service, which delivers your submission to us by email. Formspree's own privacy practices apply to the transmission of that data; you can review their policy at formspree.io.

We also use the Meta (Facebook/Instagram) Pixel on this site to measure how visitors use our site and to help us run more relevant advertising. The Pixel may collect standard technical information about your visit (such as pages viewed and general device/browser information) and, where enabled, a cryptographically hashed version of identifying details you enter in our form (such as email or phone number) to help match visits to advertising outcomes. This data is handled under Meta's own data policy, available at facebook.com/policy.php.

Cookies & Tracking

This site uses cookies and similar technologies associated with the Meta Pixel for analytics and advertising purposes. You can control cookies through your browser settings, and you can manage how Meta uses your data for ads through your Facebook or Instagram ad preferences.

Data Retention

We retain booking submissions only as long as needed to respond to your request and fulfill your event, or as needed for our business records.

Your Choices

You can ask us to review, correct, or delete the information you've submitted to us at any time by contacting us directly using the information below.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "last updated" date.
