Last Updated: July 29, 2026

Taste Italian Kitchen (“Merchant,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) values your privacy. This Privacy Policy governs your use of the Taste Italian Kitchen Mobile Application (the “App”) and our website (collectively, the “Digital Services”). The Digital Services are powered in part by Toast, Inc. (“Toast”).

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING DIGITAL TRACKING AND CONSENT: By downloading, accessing, or continuing to use our Digital Services, or by clicking “Accept,” “Agree,” or continuing past our consent banner, you acknowledge and expressly consent to the collection, transmission, and processing of routing data, device metrics, and usage interactions as described herein.

1. Notice of Software Tools, Service Providers, and Routing Data (CIPA Notice)

To deliver digital ordering, secure payment processing, and interactive restaurant features, our Digital Services utilize essential background software technologies, APIs, and integrated service provider modules.

A. Service Provider Operations (Toast & Essential Partners)

Our App and website operate using technological infrastructure provided by Toast and authorized third-party service providers. When you interact with our Digital Services:

  • Software communications are processed through Toast and designated data processors acting strictly as our agents under contractual obligations prohibiting independent data usage.

  • Any transmission of data to Toast or essential operational partners is conducted solely to execute your requests, maintain system integrity, process orders, and prevent fraud.

B. IP Addresses and Transmission Data

  • Purpose of Transmission: To connect your device to our server and process menu/order requests, standard network protocols require the temporary receipt and routing of your Internet Protocol (IP) address, user-agent string, and essential device telemetry.

  • Consent & Acknowledgment: You acknowledge that the transmission of your IP address and standard HTTP/HTTPS header fields is an inherent function of internet protocol communications and hereby expressly authorize such transmission to us and our essential infrastructure service providers.

C. Analytics and Advertising Technologies

  • We may utilize first-party and third-party analytical tools (including, where enabled, Google Analytics, Meta tools, and advertising pixels) to measure service performance and deliver tailored marketing.

  • Prior Consent Requirement: Non-essential tracking scripts, advertising pixels, and analytics modules are deployed only following your explicit interactive consent provided via our cookie/privacy banner or App onboarding controls. You may withdraw or modify this consent at any time through your device or App settings.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information you voluntarily provide and data generated automatically during your session:

  • Contact & Account Information: Name, email address, physical address, and phone number.

  • Order and Transactional Data: Items selected, order history, timestamps, delivery locations, tip amounts, and dining preferences.

  • Payment Credentials: Tokenized payment details processed directly via PCI-compliant payment gateways (e.g., Apple Pay, Google Pay, or card processors). We do not store raw credit card numbers.

  • Precise Geolocation (Optional): If you grant permission via your mobile device, we collect precise location data to display nearby restaurant locations and provide live order tracking.

  • Usage & Device Information: Operating system version, device model, app performance logs, and interaction event counts collected for troubleshooting and feature optimization.

3. How We Use Your Information

We process personal information exclusively for legitimate business purposes, including:

  • Processing and fulfilling food, beverage, and catering orders.

  • Operating, troubleshooting, and improving our software functionality.

  • Administering loyalty rewards and gift card accounts.

  • Communicating order status, updates, and customer support responses.

  • Presenting promotional communications (subject to your opt-out preferences).

  • Protecting against fraudulent, unauthorized, or illegal activity.

4. Third-Party Disclosures & Vendor Restrictions

We do not sell your personal information for monetary consideration. We share information only under the following controlled circumstances:

  • Infrastructure & Service Providers: To contractors, service providers (including Toast), and payment processors bound by contract to process data solely on our behalf.

  • Merchant-Initiated Integrations: To third-party delivery services or partner loyalty programs that you expressly request to utilize during checkout.

  • Legal Compliance & Safety: When required by subpoena, court order, or applicable law, or to defend our legal rights and system integrity.

5. California Privacy Rights (CCPA Addendum)
