Privacy Policy

86 Empty Seats (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through our website at 86emptyseats.com, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

Information you give us. When you fill out our contact form or book a call, we collect the details you choose to provide, your name, restaurant name, email address, phone number, city and state, your website (if you share one), and the message you send. When you book a call, our scheduling provider collects the information needed to schedule and confirm your meeting.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we may automatically collect limited technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device, the pages you visit, and how you arrived. If we use website analytics (such as Google Analytics), it collects this kind of usage data, including approximate location, through cookies and similar technologies, to help us understand how visitors use the site.

How we use your information

• To respond to your inquiry and contact you about your request
• To schedule and hold the calls you book
• To provide, operate, and improve our services and website
• To keep the site secure and prevent abuse
• To meet our legal obligations

We do not use the information you submit to send you unrelated marketing without your consent.

How we share your information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with the service providers that help us run the site and respond to you, and only as needed to do that:

• Web3Forms delivers our contact-form submissions to us (privacy policy).
• Calendly powers our “book a call” scheduling (privacy notice).
• Google Analytics, if enabled, provides website analytics (privacy policy).
• Cloudflare hosts and secures our website (privacy policy).

We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, safety, or property.

Cookies and tracking

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies, primarily for analytics, to understand how the site is used. You can control or disable cookies in your browser settings. If we use Google Analytics, you can also opt out with Google’s browser opt-out add-on.

Data retention

We keep the information you submit only as long as needed to respond to you, provide our services, and meet legal or recordkeeping requirements, then we delete or anonymize it.

Data security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information and rely on reputable providers who maintain their own safeguards. No method of transmitting data over the internet is completely secure, however, so we can’t guarantee absolute security.

Your choices and rights

You can ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information you’ve given us, just reach out through our contact page. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights. California residents have the right, under the CCPA/CPRA, to know what personal information we collect, to request its deletion or correction, and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. We do not sell or share your personal information, and we won’t discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.

Children’s privacy

Our website and services are intended for business owners and are not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Third-party links

Our site links to other websites and references third-party tools. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to review their policies.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our site and practices evolve. When we do, we’ll revise the “last updated” date above.
