Privacy Policy
How Calabash Seafood Hut handles the limited information collected through this website.
Please note: This Privacy Policy is a starting template. It must be reviewed and finalized by the restaurant's owner (and, where appropriate, a qualified attorney or privacy professional) before the website launches, with real contact details and the restaurant's actual data practices filled in. Placeholders below marked [pending] must be completed before this page goes live.
Last updated: [pending]
Calabash Seafood Hut ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website at calabashseafoodhut.net. This policy explains what information we collect through the website, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to this website only — not to in-store visits, phone calls, or third-party ordering apps, which are covered by their own practices.
What we collect
- Information you send us through a form. If you use a contact, careers, large-order, or "share a memory" form on this site, we collect the information you choose to provide — typically your name, your contact information (such as email address or phone number), and the contents of your message or application.
- Basic website analytics. We may collect limited, aggregated technical information about how the site is used (for example, pages viewed, general location, browser type, and referring links) to understand traffic and improve the site.
- No payment data. We do not take online payments on this website and do not collect card or bank details here. Ordering and payment happen on third-party services such as DoorDash under their own policies.
How we use it
- To respond to your inquiries, job applications, large-order requests, and messages.
- To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website and its content.
- To detect and prevent spam, abuse, and fraudulent submissions (for example, through bot-protection on our forms).
We do not sell your personal information.
Cookies & analytics
Where analytics are enabled, we aim to keep them privacy-friendly:
- Cloudflare Web Analytics is cookieless and does not use client-side state to track you across sites.
- Google Analytics 4 (GA4), if enabled, may set cookies or similar identifiers. Where consent is legally required, we will ask for it before non-essential analytics are loaded.
You can control or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the site function.
Third-party services
Some features of this site rely on third parties, each governed by its own privacy policy:
- DoorDash — for online ordering, delivery, and payment. When you place an order, you interact with DoorDash under its terms and privacy policy.
- Google Maps — an embedded map that loads only after you click to open it, so Google is not contacted until you choose to view the map.
- Cloudflare — for website hosting, security, form handling, and bot protection (Turnstile).
- Facebook (Meta) — we link to our Facebook page; visiting it is subject to Facebook's own policies.
Form data retention
We keep form submissions — including inquiries, large-order requests, and job applications — only as long as needed for the purpose they were sent, and then dispose of them according to the owner's retention practices. Specific retention periods are [pending] and will be confirmed by the owner before launch.
Your choices and rights
You may contact us to ask about the information you have submitted, to request a correction, or to ask us to delete a submission where we are able to do so. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws. To make a request, use the contact details below. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
Children's privacy
This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information through this site, please contact us and we will delete it.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. There is no common industry standard for responding to DNT signals, so this website does not currently respond to them. We keep our analytics use limited as described above.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Significant changes may be highlighted on this page.
