1. Who We Are

Our website address is: https://bobskitchenandbar.com

2. Comments

When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form, plus the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string (hash) of your email may be shared with Gravatar to display your profile photo if you use their service. Gravatar’s policy: https://automattic.com/privacy.

3. Media

If you upload images, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as other users can extract this information.

4. Cookies

We use cookies for convenience and functionality:

  • Comments: Save your name, email, and website in cookies (1 year)

  • Login: Temporary cookie checks if your browser accepts cookies

  • Logged-in users: Cookies store login and screen preferences

  • Content editors: Post ID cookies saved for article editing (expires in 1 day)

5. Embedded Content

Articles may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube, Instagram, maps). These behave just like visiting the external site directly, which may collect data, use cookies, and track interactions.

6. Reservation System

If you use our reservation system (via widget, plugin, or third-party app), we may collect your name, email, phone number, and preferred date/time. This information is used solely to confirm and manage your reservation.

Third-party platforms (e.g., OpenTable or others) may have their own privacy policies that apply when booking.

7. Newsletter & Marketing

If you sign up for our newsletter, we collect your email address and optionally your name. This data is used to send updates, promotions, or news related to Bob’s Kitchen and Bar. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.

We do not sell or share your email with unrelated third parties.

8. Third-Party Delivery Platforms

If you order through delivery apps like Uber Eats, DoorDash, or SkipTheDishes, your data is governed by their privacy policies. We do not receive your full personal information, and we are not responsible for their data handling practices.

9. Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email. Otherwise, we do not share personal data unless legally required.

10. Data Retention

Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely. Registered user data (if applicable) is stored in their profile and editable by the user or admin (excluding usernames).

11. Your Rights

If you have an account or have left comments, you may request an export of the data we hold about you. You may also request deletion of that data, except any we are required to retain for legal or administrative reasons.

12. Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be scanned by automated spam detection systems.

13. Data Security & Disclaimer

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information. However, no method of online transmission or storage is 100% secure.

By using our website, you acknowledge and agree that Bob’s Kitchen and Bar is not liable for any damages resulting from unauthorized access, data breaches, or technical issues beyond our control.
