1. Introduction & Overview
Welcome to The Darbhanga Table. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle your information when you visit our website, use our Smart Menu, pre-book meals, or reserve tables online.
2. Information We Collect
We only collect the absolute minimum data required to facilitate seamless hospitality and dining reservations:
- Identity Data: Full name, provided during table reservation or Google SSO authentication.
- Contact Data: Phone number (WhatsApp contact) and email address.
- Reservation Data: Date, time, seating preferences, dietary requirements, and special occasion notes.
- Technical Data: Essential local browser storage (`localStorage`) utilized to save your cart items and personal preferences across visits.
3. WhatsApp Communication & Order Processing
Our website utilizes a direct, secure WhatsApp checkout handshake. When you place a food pre-booking or reserve a table, your order details are compiled into a receipt and transferred directly to the restaurant's official WhatsApp Business number. We do not store sensitive payment information or credit card data on our servers.
4. Google Single Sign-On (SSO)
If you choose to authenticate using Google SSO, we receive basic public profile information (name, email, and profile picture) provided by Google. This data is strictly used to personalize your dashboard greeting and pre-fill your reservation forms.
5. Data Sharing & Security
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data with any third-party marketing agencies or external corporations. Your information is accessed exclusively by authorized restaurant staff for the sole purpose of fulfilling your reservation and preparing your meal.
6. Cookies & Local Storage
We use local storage (`localStorage` and `sessionStorage`) rather than intrusive tracking cookies. This allows your device to remember your active theme (e.g., Warm Terracotta) and cart contents without tracking your browsing activity across the web.
