6. Your California Privacy Rights

As a California resident, you have the following rights regarding your personal information:

6.1 Right to Know

You have the right to request that we disclose:

  • Categories of personal information we collected about you
  • Specific pieces of personal information we collected
  • Categories of sources from which we collected personal information
  • Business or commercial purpose for collecting personal information
  • Categories of third parties with whom we share personal information
  • Categories of personal information we sold or disclosed

6.2 Right to Delete

You have the right to request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions such as:

  • Completing a transaction or providing requested services
  • Detecting security incidents or protecting against fraud
  • Debugging to identify and repair errors
  • Exercising free speech or ensuring another's right to free speech
  • Complying with legal obligations
  • Internal uses reasonably aligned with your expectations

6.3 Right to Opt-Out of Sale/Sharing

You have the right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for targeted advertising. Because we do not sell or share personal information, there is currently nothing to opt out of, and we therefore do not display a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link. If we ever begin selling or sharing personal information, we will add that link and honor Global Privacy Control signals before doing so.

6.4 Right to Correct

You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal information we maintain about you.

6.5 Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Information

You have the right to limit our use and disclosure of sensitive personal information to purposes necessary to perform services or provide goods reasonably expected by you.

6.6 Right to Non-Discrimination

You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising your CCPA rights. We will not:

  • Deny you goods or services
  • Charge different prices or rates
  • Provide a different level or quality of services
  • Suggest you will receive different prices or quality of services

7. How to Exercise Your Rights

7.1 Submitting a Request

To exercise your rights, you may submit a verifiable consumer request by:

7.2 Verification Process

To protect your privacy, we must verify your identity before processing your request. We may ask you to:

  • Provide identifying information (name, email, phone number)
  • Confirm recent interactions with our services
  • Provide additional documentation for sensitive requests

For deletion requests, we may require additional verification steps.

7.3 Authorized Agent

You may designate an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf. The agent must:

  • Provide proof of written authorization from you
  • Verify their own identity
  • Provide contact information

We may still require you to verify your identity directly or confirm you gave the agent permission to submit the request.

7.4 Response Timeframe

We will respond to verifiable consumer requests within 45 days of receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period.

8. Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

We do not sell or share your personal information, so there is no opt-out to submit and no opt-out link in our footer. We do not run advertising or analytics technology on this website.

We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal. Should our practices ever change, we will publish a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link, process GPC signals as valid opt-out requests, and refrain from asking you to reauthorize any sale or sharing for at least twelve (12) months after you opt out.

You may always contact us using the details below with any question about how your information is handled.

9. Retention of Personal Information

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to:

  • Fulfill the purposes described in this notice
  • Comply with legal obligations
  • Resolve disputes and enforce agreements
  • Maintain business records

Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and purpose of collection. When personal information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.

10. Children's Privacy

Our services are intended for restaurant owners and business users, and are not directed to individuals under 18 years of age. Consistent with COPPA, we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. We do not sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age — and, as stated above, we do not sell or share the personal information of any consumer.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe we have collected personal information from your child, please contact us immediately.

  • Value of the incentive

You may withdraw from any financial incentive program at any time by contacting us.
