About CRCRS.JaredFernandez.com:

The Sample Restaurant (“the Restaurant”) uses a Reservations System (“the System”) to track and confirm restaurant reservations by you (“the Guest”). The Guest accessible functions available at CRCRS.JaredFernandez.com (“the Site”) interact with the Restaurant’s System to find available tables, as well as to secure, change, or cancel online reservations. While the Restaurant’s table inventory is accessible to the Site to perform these functions, other Guest information may be stored by the Restaurant (for example, credit card numbers, dining history, and other Guest preferences) but is not accessible to the Site. In contrast, the Site will pass pertinent information to the System in the Restaurant as required to secure or cancel online reservations, for example.

This document describes how Guest information is collected, stored, used, and in specific instances, shared with the Restaurant.


Information you may be asked to provide when using the Site:

If you choose to use the Site, you may be asked to provide a name, a telephone number, an email address, and other pertinent information.

Although we do not automatically collect the e-mail address or other personal information about visitors to the Site automatically, we do store the e-mail addresses of those who communicate with us via e-mail use the Site to finalize a reservation. We also aggregate information on what pages consumers access or visit, information volunteered by the consumer, and name, address, telephone number, payment (e.g., credit card number and billing address), and reservation information.

For select events and/or holidays, a valid credit card number may be required to secure a reservation through the Site. All such credit card transactions are fully encrypted by the Site and certified by Comodo® and processed by Sample Hotel. In either case the credit card information will be shared with the Restaurant at which the reservation is being made, just as would occur with a phone reservation requiring credit card information. When your card information is entered into the system, it is encrypted and employees of the restaurant and hotel cannot access anything but the last four digits for identification. The entire card is only revealed to those users or parties responsible for processing any authorized charges to the card.

Guests making reservations from outside of the United States should understand that all information shared during the registration and reservation processes is sent to and stored on a secure web server (“the Server”) that is located in the United States. The United States has data protection laws that may not be consistent with those of other countries. If the System transfers your information outside of your host country, we will take steps to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected.


Information accessible to the Restaurant:

When you make a Restaurant reservation using the Site, your information is provided to the Restaurant, just as would occur if you were making a reservation over the phone. You may have the option of providing special preferences or comments regarding your reservation, which the System will pass on to the Restaurant.


Email from the Restaurant System:

The System sends automated messages pertaining to upcoming or recent restaurant reservations, such as confirmations, cancellation notices, reminders, and/or invitations relating to special offers and/or special events. You may unsubscribe from the Restaurant e-mail list at any time by following the directions provided in the email communications, by replying to the message with "Unsubscribe" in the subject line, or by contacting us using one of the means listed at the top of this page.


Purposes of obtaining your personal information:

The System may use your personal information for the following purposes:

  1. to secure your reservation at the Restaurant, by providing the details of your reservation to the Restaurant,
  2. to produce aggregate statistical data for the improvement of services offered by the Restaurant,
  3. for any other purposes related to those above.

Changing your personal information:

Once a reservation is made using the Site, a profile is created by the System for the convenience of the Guest. This information will be used by the Restaurant to provide a higher quality of service by tracking how many visits a specific Guest has made to the Restaurant, and well as track any dining preferences that may be expressed. Any Guest may change the following personal information at any time: name, email address, phone number, birthday (if it has been provided by the user), address (if it has been provided by the user), special requests that should be forwarded to the Restaurant when making reservations (if they have been provided by the user), and whether that user would like to receive communications from the Restaurant. The Guest may at any time may contact the Restaurant to request that all personal information be deactivated.


Cookies and Site Logging:

Log-in areas on the Site require that your browser accept cookies. A cookie is a small amount of information that is sent from the Site’s Server to your browser and stored on your computer's hard drive. The Site uses cookies to verify that you are properly signed in and to highlight your pending reservations, for example. The Site may also use cookies from time to time to measure your response to new aspects of the Site and/or e-mails in an effort to continually improve customer service and website usability.

Please be aware that a cookie cannot spread computer viruses, retrieve any other data from your hard drive, or capture your email address.

You can erase or block cookies from your computer if you wish to do so (your internet browser help screen or manual will thoroughly explain this process), but certain parts of the website may not work correctly or will not work at all if your browser is set not to accept cookies.

Web pages may contain JavaScript code that is used to count and track users who have visited that page, or to access certain cookies. This information is used in a general way and cannot be used to personally identify the Guest’s actions.


How the Restaurant uses your personal information:

The Restaurant will never sell, rent, loan or otherwise distribute any of your personal information (including but not limited to your name, email address, phone number or any other identifiable information about you) to any third party without your prior expressed written consent, although the Site will pass certain information on to the Restaurant, only as described above. This information that we collect is used to improve the content of the Site, used by us to contact consumers for marketing purposes, used to serve our consumers as per the purposes of the Site and is only disclosed when legally required to do so, at the request of governmental authorities conducting an investigation, to verify or enforce compliance with the policies governing the Site and applicable laws, or to protect against misuse or unauthorized use of the Site.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this privacy policy, the Restaurant may be required to disclose user and personal information in response to inquiries by formal law enforcement, or in cases permitted by the United State's CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (CAN-SPAM), the European Union's Safe Harbor Provisions ("Safe Harbor"), Japan's Personal Information Protection Act ("PIPA"), or other related privacy laws and regulations.

The Restaurant may use the personal information that we collect to recognize returning diners and recall their special preferences. For this reason, the Restaurant may use the System to take note of your special requests, allergies, special occasions or other pertinent information that will help the Restaurant serve you better during your next visit. If the Restaurant chooses to note your preferences, that information will be typed into the System manually just as a restaurant might write a note on an index card. This data belongs to the Restaurant, since it is a product of the Restaurant's relationship with you. The Site does not access or use this information, and it is not shared with any other restaurants or third parties, other than, perhaps, a property under the same ownership. The System does create back-up copies of all information stored to assist in the restoration process in the event of data loss.

If you choose to provide comments on your dining experience by entering this information at the time you are making a reservation, the comments you provide will be shared with the Restaurant to let them know of your preferences.

The Site does use aggregate data (based partly on IP addresses of website visitors) collected to analyze Site usability, system performance and usage trends.

As specified previously, for select events and/or holidays, you may be required to provide valid credit card information that will be passed on to and handled in order to secure the reservation. If you supply us with your postal address on-line, you may receive periodic mailings from us with information on new products and services or upcoming events. If you do not wish to receive such mailings, please let us know by calling us at the number provided above, e-mailing us at the above address, or writing to us at the above address. Please provide us with your exact name and address and we will be sure your name is removed from the list. Persons who supply us with their telephone numbers on-line may receive telephone contact from us with information regarding reservations they have made on-line, new products and services, or upcoming events. If you do not wish to receive such telephone calls, please let us know by sending us e-mail at the above address, calling us at the above telephone number, or writing to us at the above address. Please provide us with your name and phone number and we will be sure your name is removed from the list.


How the Site protects your information:

We have appropriate security measures in place in our physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information that we have collected from you at our site. The System uses a state-of-the-art multi-layer encryption algorithm and makes its best efforts to ensure that all of your user information is secure. All transactions are secured by 128-bit encryption through a security certificate obtained by Comodo Group, Inc. This certificate guarantees our identity and ensures that all transactions are encrypted and secure. For more information about Comodo security, please visit http://www.comodo.com/about/comodo-agreements.php or click the “Lock” icon in your browser at the bottom or top of this webpage. In addition, the System stores all of your personal information on a secure server. The Restaurant employs a staff that regularly maintains the security of all personal information stored, and that continually monitors and implements changes and improvements that become available in the electronic data security industry.


Changes to the Site’s privacy policy:

Any changes to the Site’s privacy policy will always be posted to this section of the Site, along with the effective date of the new policy. All Guests should check this privacy policy page periodically to stay abreast of any such changes. The Restaurant will never make changes to its privacy policy that violate any applicable privacy laws, including CAN-SPAM, Safe Harbor, PIPA, or other commercial privacy standards. For any material changes to the privacy policy (in situations where we change the manner in which we handle your personal information), we will notify you via e-mail or by placing a prominent notice on the homepage of our Site.


Disclosure, correction, suspension of use of personal information:

If you wish to have the Restaurant disclose to you the personal information held by us and the means through which we have obtained such information, or if you desire the information's correction, suspension of use, or to be informed of the purpose of use by us, please contact us using one of the methods listed at the top of this page. Upon receiving the request, we shall meet such request pursuant to the provisions of each applicable privacy regulation after it confirms that such request has been made by you personally.
