This page explains what personal information our website collects, why, and what we do with it. We follow the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020.
Booking and dinner requests
When you send a group booking request or reserve dinner seats, we collect your name, email address and, for group bookings, your phone number, the date, time, group size and any notes you add.
The website sends these details straight to our café email inbox so we can confirm your booking. The website itself doesn’t keep a copy. We only use your details to reply to you and manage your booking, and we don’t share them with anyone else or use them for marketing.
