It is important that you read this Privacy Policy together with any other privacy notice or fair processing notice we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing information about you so that you are fully aware of how and why we are using your data.

This Privacy Policy is provided in a layered format so you can click through to the specific areas set out below.

 

 

INFORMATION COLLECTION

 

We may collect the following types of information about you:

•               Identity Data, which includes name or other similar identifiers.

•               Contact Data, which includes address, email address, and telephone numbers.

•               Financial Data, which includes credit card, debit card, or other payment card details.

•               Transaction Data, which includes details about payments to and from you.

IF YOU ARE IN THE EU OR THE UK, PLEASE SEE THE SECTION "ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES FOR THE EU AND THE UK" THAT PERTAIN TO OUR COLLECTION, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AND ADDITIONAL RIGHTS YOU HAVE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

 

We may collect information about you in various ways, including through:

 

Direct interactions: You may give us your information by registering or contacting us. This includes information you provide when you:

•               create an account with us;

•               subscribe to Our Services or publications;

•               make a purchase through Our Services;

•               request marketing to be sent to you; or

•               give us feedback.

 

Using Our Services: As you interact with Our Services, we may automatically collect Technical Data and Usage Data about your use of Our Services. Some of the ways in which we may collect information are further described below:

•               Cookies and other technologies: The Services may use cookies, a type of technology that installs a small amount of information on a website user’s computer or other device to permit a website to, for example, recognize future visits using that computer or device. The Services may use other similar technologies (including, without limitation, tracking pixels, as described further below, and other anonymous identifiers) to gather information about you, such as IP addresses and location data, to customize your visit, to enable us to enhance Our Services, or for other purposes.

•               Interest-Based Advertising: We may engage third-party vendors to use your information in connection with their own information to deliver targeted advertising to you when you visit our website or other websites. Cookies, described above, may be used in this process. For example, if you are searching for information on a particular product, our vendor may cause an advertisement to appear on other websites you view with information on that product. This form of advertising is called "Behavioral Advertising." We believe that such advertising is helpful because you will see ads that are relevant to your interests. However, if you would like to opt out of these interest-based advertisements, please see the "CUSTOMER CHOICES" section below.

•               Clickstream Data: When you use the internet, websites collect information about the type of computer and browsing software you use and the address of the website from which you linked to the website. The Services may collect and use clickstream data as a form of aggregate information to anonymously determine how much time visitors spend on each page of our website, how visitors navigate throughout the website and how we may tailor our website to better meet the needs of visitors. This information may be used to improve Our Services. Any collection or use of clickstream data will be anonymous and aggregated and will not intentionally contain any information about you.

•               Location Data: When you give us consent, we will collect the latitude and longitude coordinates of your device. This information is only collected while on the website. We may use general geographic data to identify the city a user is visiting to make the Services more relevant. If you would like to opt out of location tracking, please see the "CUSTOMER CHOICES" section below.

 

Collection of personal information/personal data from third-party sources: We also collect personal information/personal data about you from various third parties and public sources.

•               If you register for Our Services using Facebook, Twitter, or other social media sites, we will import your information from those social media sites.

 

 

INFORMATION USE AND SHARING

 

We use information held about you to perform our services and for other purposes outlined below. Specifically, we use your information for a variety of purposes:

•               To complete a purchase with you;

•               To perform specific services that you have requested;

•               To respond to your direct inquiries;

•               For joint marketing with other entities;

•               For our affiliates’ everyday business purposes;

•               Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests;

We will only disclose information that we collect about you to third parties with your consent or as provided below:

•               To use certain Services, payment card information may be requested. We may ask you for credit card, debit card, or other payment information. By submitting your payment information through Our Services, to the extent permitted by applicable law, you expressly consent to the sharing of your information with third-party payment processors and other third-party service providers.

•               To third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them, if we are part of a bankruptcy proceeding or other change in control.

•               To third parties to whom we need to share your information to investigate suspected fraud, abusive or unlawful uses or activities, harassment or other violations of any law, rule or regulation, or the policies for the Services, or to protect the security or integrity of the Services.

•               To our present or future affiliates or affiliated companies.

•               To third-party service providers to provide website, application development, hosting, maintenance, and other services for us. These third parties may have access to or process your information as part of providing those services for us. Generally, we limit the information provided to these service providers to that which is reasonably necessary for them to perform their functions, and we require them to agree to maintain the confidentiality of such information.

THIRD-PARTY LINKS AND SOCIAL NETWORKING SERVICES

 

The Services may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins, and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy policies. When you leave Our Services, we encourage you to read the Privacy Policy of every website you visit.

 

The Services may integrate with social networking services. We do not control such services and are not liable for the way they operate or process data. While we may provide you with the ability to use such services in connection with Our Services, we are relying upon those third-party services to operate in line with their terms and conditions and privacy policies.

You should be aware that information which you voluntarily include and transmit online in a publicly- accessible forum (e.g., blog, social network) may be viewed and used by others. We are unable to control such uses of your information, and by using such services you acknowledge that the information provided by you may be viewed and used by third parties.

 

 

DATA SECURITY

 

We will keep your information confidential and limit access to your information to those who specifically need it to conduct their business activities, except as otherwise permitted by applicable law.

We require industry standard data security measures from those third parties who are authorized by us to process your information on our behalf.

 

 

DATA RETENTION

 

We will only retain your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for your information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your information, the purposes for which we process your information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

 

In some circumstances we may anonymize information about you (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use and retain this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

 

Beginning January 1, 2023, California residents who have a business or employment relationship with us may have certain rights under the CCPA, such as the right to access, deletion, and nondiscrimination in the event you exercise these rights. The CCPA requires that we verify the requests we receive from you or your authorized representative when you exercise certain of the rights listed above. Once those rights become available, we will update our Privacy Policy to reflect any changes, including descriptions of how we verify your identity and how to exercise your rights.

 

We do not offer an opt out of sale link on our homepage for the purposes of the CCPA. We may share personal information with our service providers, with third parties with whom we jointly offer products or services, with third parties from whom you request a product or service through us, in the context of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or other corporate transaction, or as otherwise permitted by the CCPA. Wallace, Martin, Duke & Russell, PLLC will update its disclosure for California residents as state regulation evolves.

 

 

ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES FOR THE EU AND THE UK

 

Personal Data:  Some of the data that we collect from individuals in the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom (UK) may identify or be identifiable to an individual. This information is considered “personal data” in the EU and the UK, and subject to additional protections.

 

Legal basis for our processing of your personal data:  Below are the types of lawful bases that we will rely on to process your personal data

•               Performance of Contract means processing your data where it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract.

•               Legitimate Interest means the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service/product and the best and most secure experience.

•               Comply with a legal or regulatory obligation means processing your personal data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation to which we are subject.

•               With your consent.

 

Change of purpose:  We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so. Please note that we may process your personal data without consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

 

Withdrawing your consent:  If we are relying on your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at [email protected].

 

Use of your personal data for marketing purposes:  We provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising:

•               Promotional offers from us: We may use your personal data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services, and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing). You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or used our services and have not opted out of receiving that marketing. For the EU and the UK, you must opt in to receive marketing communications.

•               Third-party marketing: We will get your consent before we share your personal data with any company outside our company for marketing purposes.

•                

To see how you can opt out of marketing communications, please see the "CUSTOMER CHOICES" section.

 

Rights of data subjects:  Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. You have the right to:

•               Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

•               Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

•               Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

•               Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

•               Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data's accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

•               Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

•               Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

 

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

 

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

 

We will respond to requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made several requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

 

If you are situated in the EU or the UK and have any complaints regarding our privacy practices as a data controller or want to exercise your rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected]. You may also contact the local Supervisory Authority or seek legal remedies.

 

Additionally, if you would like a vendor to delete information it has collected about you, we encourage you to contact the vendor directly. If you are unsuccessful in reaching the appropriate contact at the restaurant, please contact us at [email protected] and we will do our best to connect you with the right person who can help you.
