2. Privacy Policy
2.1 Types of Information Collected
2.1.1. When an order is placed, the Restaurant stores the customer's name, phone number, delivery address (for delivery orders), and prior order history.
2.1.2. An email address is optional and is stored only if provided by the customer.
2.1.3. Credit card data is not stored on the Restaurant's servers; it is processed directly by a PCI DSS-certified payment processor.
2.1.4. A customer may provide additional information, such as special requests (e.g., allergies or dietary preferences). This information is treated as sensitive and is retained only for purposes of fulfilling the order.
2.1.5. 🔶 Order cancellations and refunds are handled in accordance with the Restaurant's cancellation policy set out in Section 1.3 above, the FTC's Mail, Internet, or Telephone Order Merchandise Rule (16 C.F.R. Part 435), and the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act, N.J.S.A. 56:8-1 et seq.
2.2 Use of Information
2.2.1. Information is collected to process orders, improve the user experience on the site, and operate the customer loyalty program (if one exists).
2.2.2. The Restaurant may use order details to offer personalized promotions, subject to the customer's consent.
2.2.3. 🔶 Marketing messages will only be sent with the customer's consent, in accordance with applicable federal law:
-
Text/SMS marketing: governed by the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). The Restaurant will obtain the customer's prior express written consent before sending marketing text messages, will clearly state that consent is not a condition of purchase, and will honor opt-out requests (e.g., replying "STOP") immediately.
-
Email marketing: governed by the CAN-SPAM Act, which permits commercial email on an opt-out basis provided the Restaurant clearly identifies the message as an advertisement, includes a valid physical address, and provides a working unsubscribe mechanism that is honored promptly. As a best practice, the Restaurant will still seek the customer's affirmative opt-in where practical.
2.2.4. Information may be used for oversight, fraud prevention, and maintaining the security of the service.
2.3 Sharing Information with Third Parties
2.3.1. To fulfill an order, customer details (name, phone number, address) will be shared with the Restaurant's staff, suppliers, and the delivery company.
2.3.2. Where external service providers are used (payment processors, email marketing platforms, cloud storage), sharing will be done in accordance with applicable law and subject to a commitment to protect the confidentiality of the information.
2.3.3. The Restaurant does not transfer personal information to third parties for commercial purposes unrelated to the order without the customer's express consent.
2.4 Tracking Tools and Cookies
2.4.1. The site uses cookies to operate properly, remember user preferences, and improve the user experience.
2.4.2. In addition, the site uses analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) and advertising tools (such as the Meta/Facebook Pixel) for statistical analysis and to display personalized ads.
2.4.3. Users may configure their web browser to block the use of cookies, although this may affect the site's functionality.
2.4.4. If the New Jersey Data Privacy Act applies to the Restaurant (see Section 2.6 below), the site will also recognize opt-out preference signals such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC) for New Jersey residents.
2.5 Data Retention Periods 🔶
2.5.1. Information related to orders is retained for the period required to fulfill the order and issue receipts/invoices, consistent with applicable IRS and New Jersey business recordkeeping requirements. Confirm the specific retention period with your accountant — the source document used a 7-year default under Israeli tax rules, and the appropriate U.S. period should be set based on your accountant's or attorney's advice rather than assumed to match.
2.5.2. Information collected for marketing purposes will be deleted within 12 months of the customer's request for removal, or at the latest upon expiration of the applicable retention period.
2.5.3. Sensitive information (such as allergy or dietary requests) will not be retained beyond the date the order is actually completed.
2.6 User/Consumer Rights 🔶
Subject to the above, customers may:
-
Request to review the personal information the Restaurant holds about them.
-
Request correction of information that is incorrect, outdated, or inaccurate.
-
Request deletion of their information or that the Restaurant stop using it.
