Wix Restaurants Privacy Policy

Last Revised: August 1st, 2016

Welcome to the Wix Restaurants Privacy Policy, brought to you by Wix.com!

 

This policy specifically pertains to the Wix Restaurants service, which is designated to allow visitors and customers of participating restaurant websites to place orders from such participating restaurants. It describes how we may collect and use personal information pertaining to such visitors and customers, and the rights and choices available to them regarding such information.

We strongly urge you read this policy (together with the Wix Restaurants Terms of Service) and make sure you fully understand and agree with them, before you access or use the Wix Restaurants service. If you do not read, fully understand and agree to this Privacy Policy, you must immediately avoid or discontinue all use of our services.

Capitalized terms which are not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Wix Restaurants Terms of Service.

1. Acknowledgment (please read carefully!)

This Wix Restaurants Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) describes how we (Wix.com Ltd., together with its affiliated companies worldwide – “Wix”, “we” or “us”) may collect and use information pertaining to visitors and customers (“Website Visitor(s)”, “Customer(s)”, or “you”) of restaurant websites (each, a “Participating Restaurant”) utilizing the Wix Restaurants service (the “Service”).

 

This Privacy Policy constitutes a binding and enforceable legal contract between Wix and you - so please read it carefully.

 

By accessing or using the service, you acknowledge that you read our Privacy Policy and in accessing and using the Service you have full acknowledge about how Wix collects and processes your Personal Information as defined and explained below.


Please note: you are not obligated by law to provide us with any information. You hereby acknowledge, warrant and agree that any information you do provide us is provided of your own free will and consent, for the purposes and uses described herein.

#ItsThatEasy

This policy describes Wix Restaurants’ privacy practices – what information we collect on visitors and customers of the service, how we collect it, what we do with it, how we protect it, and your rights regarding your information.

By accessing or using the service, you acknowledge that you read our Privacy Policy.

2. What Information Do We Collect?

We collect two types of information regarding Website Visitors and Customers:

  1. Un-identified and non-identifiable information pertaining to a Website Visitor or un-identified Customer, which may be made available to us, or collected automatically via his/her access a Participating Restaurant’s website and/or to the Service utilized thereby (“Non-personal Information”). Such Non-personal Information does not enable us to identify the Website Visitor or Customer from whom it was collected. The Non-personal Information collected by us mainly consists of technical and aggregated usage information, such as Website Visitors’ and Customers’ browsing and ‘click-stream’ activity on the Participating Restaurant’s website and the Service, session heatmaps and scrolls, non-identifying information regarding the Website Visitor’s or Customer’s device, operating system, internet browser, screen resolution, language and keyboard settings, internet service provider, referring/exit pages, date/time stamps, etc.

  2. Individually identifiable information, namely information that identifies an individual or may with reasonable efforts cause the identification of an individual, or may be of private or sensitive nature (“Personal Information”). The Personal Information collected by us mainly consists of contact details (e.g., e-mail address or phone number), billing details (name, physical billing address, payment method and transaction details), details regarding a browsing or usage session (IP address, Geo-location and/or device unique identifier), details regarding connected third-party accounts (such as the e-mail or username for a connected PayPal, Google or Facebook account), scanned identification documents provided to us (such as an ID card, driver’s license, passport or official company registration documents), correspondences (including those made through or uploaded to our Services), and any other Personal Information provided to us by Visitors and/or Users through their access to and/or use of the Services. For the avoidance of doubt, any Non-personal Information that is connected or linked to Personal Information (for example, in order to improve the Services we offer) is deemed and treated by us as Personal Information, as long as such connection or linkage exists.

#ItsThatEasy

We collect two types of information: Personal Information (which could be used to uniquely identify an individual) and Non-personal Information (which is non-identifying).

 

We collect such information regarding visitors and customers of participating restaurants’ websites, and anyone else who may provide it to us.

3. How Do We Collect Such Information?

There are two main methods we use:

  1. We collect information through your use of the Services. In other words, when you access or use our Service, including when you browse the Participating Restaurant’s website, we are aware of it any may gather, collect and record such uses, sessions and related information, either independently or with the help of third-party services as detailed in Section ‎6 below, including through the use of “cookies” and other tracking technologies, as further detailed in Section ‎7 below.

  2. We collect information which you provide us voluntarily. For example, we collect the Personal Information you provide us when you sign-up or sign-in to our Service; when you access and use our Service; and/or when you contact us directly. 

#ItsThatEasy

When you visit or use our services – you may also provide us with certain information (either automatically through your uses, or by manually submitting it).

4. Why Do We Collect Such Information?

We collect such Non-personal and Personal Information for the following purposes:

  1. To provide and operate the Service, including for identifying Customers and enabling them and Participating Restaurants to place and accept Orders;

  2. To further develop, customize and improve our Service, based on Website Visitors’ and Customers’ common or personal preferences, experiences and difficulties;

  3. To enable Participating Restaurants to better interact and engage with their Website Visitors and Customers (and vice versa), and provide everyone with a better user experience;

  4. To To be able to contact Customers with general or personalized service-related notices and promotional messages (as further detailed in Section ‎8 below);

  5. To create aggregated statistical data and other aggregated and/or inferred Non-personal Information, which we, Participating Restaurants or our business partners may each use to provide and improve any of our respective services;

  6. To enhance our data security and fraud prevention capabilities; and

  7. To comply with any applicable laws and regulations.

5.2. U.S. – E.U. and U.S. – Swiss Safe Harbor and Privacy Shield Frameworks:

Wix complies with the U.S. – E.U. Safe Harbor framework and the U.S. – Swiss Safe Harbor framework, as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal data from European Union member countries and Switzerland. Wix has certified that it adheres to the Safe Harbor Privacy Principles of notice, choice, onward transfer, security, data integrity, access, and enforcement. To learn more about the Safe Harbor program, and to view Wix’s certification, please visit http://www.export.gov/safeharbor. While the validity of the U.S. – E.U. Safe Harbor framework has been recently rejected by the EU Court of Justice, Wix continues to adhere to its core principles, solely as a supplementary measure for further protecting and enhancing our Website Visitors’ and Customers’ privacy (and without derogating from our commitment to follow all applicable legal requirements). If you have any questions about our Safe Harbor participation, please contact us using the information below.

For example, if we learn that you reside in the Russian Federation, we may be required to maintain your Personal Information there, whether independently or with a local data storage and processing provider.
