Our privacy commitment

Cater Plus is committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information.

We manage your personal information in an open and transparent way.

Cater Plus will only use your personal information when it is necessary for

us to deliver you a service or perform other necessary business functions and activities.

In some cases, if you do not provide the required personal information we will not be able to provide you with a service.
