Data Policy

The protection of your personal data is important to KELLARI TAVERNA. This Policy informs you about the information collection practices of KELLARI TAVERNA, including the categories of data it may collect, maintain and process, the purpose of their collection, the categories of persons to whom the data are disclosed and the rights you have. KELLARI TAVERNA makes every effort to protect your personal data, provided that the personal information you provide to us is accurate and true.

The Policy also describes indicatively the security measures taken by the company in order to protect the privacy of the data and provides certain guarantees for actions that the company will not take.

This Policy is intended to describe KELLARI TAVERNA's privacy and data-security practices for customers, website visitors, applicants, vendors and other individuals in New York and the United States. It should be read together with applicable U.S. federal law, New York State law, and any other law that applies to the specific service or transaction.

New York law, including the Stop Hacks and Improve Electronic Data Security Act (the "SHIELD Act"), requires businesses that own or license certain private information of New York residents to maintain reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards and to provide notices required by law in the event of a data breach.

Federal law, including the Federal Trade Commission Act, prohibits unfair or deceptive privacy and data-security practices. Any statements in this Policy are intended to be accurate, clear and consistent with how KELLARI TAVERNA actually collects, uses, shares, protects and deletes personal information.

If you do not agree with this Policy, you should not use the website or submit personal information through it. In some cases, if you do not provide requested information, KELLARI TAVERNA may be unable to process a reservation, respond to an inquiry, evaluate an application, complete a transaction or provide requested services.

The protection of customer privacy and data is of utmost importance. The company is committed to providing personalised services in a privacy-respecting manner.

Personal information is used by KELLARI TAVERNA, its employees, representatives and service providers only for legitimate business purposes described in this Policy, including responding to requests, managing reservations, processing transactions, improving services, maintaining security, complying with law and communicating with you.

KELLARI TAVERNA may share personal information with service providers, reservation platforms, payment processors, marketing vendors, professional advisers and other partners where reasonably necessary to provide services, operate the business, comply with law or carry out purposes disclosed at the time of collection.

KELLARI TAVERNA does not sell personal information. Where online advertising or analytics tools involve sharing identifiers or browsing activity with third parties, KELLARI TAVERNA will describe those practices accurately and provide any privacy controls required by applicable law.

Information that constitutes personal data and whose collection is not based on law or contract is collected only when you choose to explicitly consent.

Depending on your interaction with us, the following information may be collected: identification and contact information, reservation details, dining preferences, payment and transaction information, gift-card or loyalty information, employment application materials, communications with us, device and browser information, IP address, cookie identifiers, website usage data and any other information you choose to provide.

The information may be used for authentication, management and communication regarding services and products, marketing analysis and statistical production, prevention and detection of fraud or loss, and communication regarding services and products of the company or authorised partners.

KELLARI TAVERNA retains personal information for only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including to provide services, complete transactions, manage records, comply with tax, accounting, employment and legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements and maintain security.

Analytics and advertising tools may collect information such as browser type, device information, pages viewed, referring pages, approximate location derived from IP address and interactions with advertisements or website content. If KELLARI TAVERNA offers cookie or tracking controls, those controls must be configured and monitored so that they operate as described.

You may manage cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through website privacy controls. Disabling cookies may affect some website functions.

KELLARI TAVERNA generally does not conduct consumer credit checks for restaurant reservations or ordinary customer transactions. If the company ever uses a consumer report, background check or similar report for employment, credit, tenancy or another legally regulated purpose, it will do so only in accordance with applicable federal and state laws, including any required notices, authorisations and adverse-action procedures.

If you apply for employment, KELLARI TAVERNA may collect résumé information, contact details, work history, qualifications, references, interview notes and other information you provide or authorise us to obtain for recruitment and hiring purposes.

Applicant information is shared only with authorised employees, managers, professional advisers, background-check providers where applicable, payroll or human-resources providers and other service providers involved in evaluating, hiring or onboarding applicants, subject to confidentiality and legal obligations.

Applicant information may be used to evaluate suitability for a position, communicate about the application, conduct lawful reference or background checks, comply with employment laws, defend legal claims and administer hiring records.

Information may be disclosed when lawfully requested for legal or regulatory purposes or in the context of judicial proceedings.

KELLARI TAVERNA maintains reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of personal information, consistent with the sensitivity of the information and the size, complexity and nature of the business.

These safeguards may include assigning responsibility for data security, assessing reasonably foreseeable risks, training appropriate personnel, limiting access to information, selecting service providers capable of maintaining safeguards, requiring contractual security protections where appropriate, monitoring systems, protecting records during storage and disposal, and adjusting safeguards as business or technology changes.

Access is limited to authorised employees who need the data to provide products and services.

Physical, electronic and procedural safeguards shall be applied.

Notwithstanding the precautions, due to the nature of the Internet, absolute protection against unauthorised access by third parties cannot be guaranteed.

If KELLARI TAVERNA discovers a security incident involving private information that triggers a legal notice obligation, the company will provide notices to affected individuals and regulators as required by applicable federal and New York State law. In New York, covered breaches may require notice without unreasonable delay and no later than the deadline required by law.

KELLARI TAVERNA may communicate with you by e-mail, telephone, text message or other channels for reservations, service updates, customer support, marketing where permitted, security and legal matters. Standard message and data rates may apply for text communications.

If the company learns that it has collected personal information from a child under 13 without required parental consent, it will delete that information as soon as reasonably practicable.

The IP address may be stored and used in case of violation of the terms of use.

Personal account users must log out and delete cookies when using a public or shared computer.
