Definition of Personal Data

“Personal Data” means any data that relates to an identifiable person who can be directly/indirectly identified from that data.

Personal Data is comprised of information that may be used to directly or indirectly to identify you, including your name, e-mail address, physical address, phone number or other information about you such as your birth date.

Most of the Personal Data we collect is contact information about you, including e-mail address, telephone numbers, physical address or other information you provide to us. You may provide such information online or through other communications with us, including visits to our restaurant. We may combine the Personal Data that we obtain about you from these sources.

How Do We Collect Personal Data From You?

We do not share your Personal Data unless it is necessary to fulfill our responsibilities, including providing information or services to you.

Personal Data is shared with these third parties only to the extent necessary for us to process the transactions you initiate or perform other specific Services. Our partners are legally required to keep your Personal Data private and secure.

We may share your Personal Data with law enforcement or other government agencies as required by law or for the purposes of limiting fraud.
