Privacy Policy

Last updated: 19 April 2025 · Effective immediately

ResEat is committed to protecting the privacy of our customers and their guests. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights under Australian law.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly, including when you create an account, add guest records, or contact us for support.

Account information: Name, email address, business name, and billing details when you subscribe to a paid plan.

Booking data: Reservation details, guest profiles, contact information, and visit history that you enter into ResEat for your venue.

Usage data: How you interact with the platform, including pages visited, features used, and session duration — collected via standard web analytics.

Communications: Records of any support requests or emails you send us.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the ResEat platform
• Process subscription payments and send billing-related communications
• Send service notifications, updates, and support responses
• Analyse usage patterns to improve the product
• Comply with legal obligations under Australian law

We do not sell your data to third parties. Ever.

3. Guest Data You Enter

Any guest data you store in ResEat (names, contact details, preferences, visit history) is your data. You remain the data controller for this information.

We act as a data processor on your behalf. We will not access this data except to provide the service or as required by law.

You are responsible for obtaining any necessary consent from your guests to store their information, in accordance with the Australian Privacy Act 1988.

4. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored on servers located in Australia. We use industry-standard security measures including:

• TLS encryption for all data in transit
• Encryption at rest for sensitive data
• Access controls and authentication requirements
• Regular security reviews

While we take reasonable precautions, no system is completely secure. If you become aware of any security concerns, please contact us immediately at security@reseat.com.au.

5. Third-Party Services

We use a limited number of trusted third-party services to operate the platform, including payment processors, email delivery services, and analytics providers. These providers are contractually bound to handle data securely and only as directed by us.

We do not use your data for third-party advertising.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you cancel your account, we will retain your data for 90 days, after which it is permanently deleted.

You can request deletion of your data at any time by contacting hello@reseat.com.au.

7. Your Rights

Under the Australian Privacy Act 1988, you have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate or outdated information
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC)

To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@reseat.com.au.

8. Cookies

We use essential cookies to keep you logged in and remember your preferences. We may also use analytics cookies to understand how the platform is used — you can disable these in your browser settings.

We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by email or via an in-app notification. The date of the most recent update is shown below.
