PRIVACY POLICY
Complete Seating, LLC. (“Complete Seating”) is committed to safeguarding your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes Complete Seating’s policies and procedures on the collection, use and disclosure of the information collected through Complete Seating's websites and hospitality operation’s websites that utilize our services, and mobile applications as well as any other sites owned or operated by Complete Seating (hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Complete Seating websites").
About the Complete Seating Network
Each of the restaurants, wineries, resorts or other hospitality operations that use the Complete Seating service have adopted Complete Seating’s proprietary Electronic Reservation System (“the Complete Seating System”) to replace their traditional pen-and-paper reservation books. These businesses may be owned in part or in whole by groups that include multiple businesses and other affiliated businesses (hereinafter referred to as “hospitality group”).
The hospitality group's websites interact with the Complete Seating Systems to find available tables, to secure, change or cancel online reservations, communicate via email, SMS/text messaging, phone, and to confirm that reservations were honored.
An online reservation may also be made through a hospitality operation’s website or via a Complete Seating affiliate’s web link. Similarly, your personal information, including but not limited to name, telephone number, email and contact preference, is passed through from these sites onto the Complete Seating System.
This document describes how Complete Seating System user information is collected, stored, used and shared with hospitality operations via their Complete Seating System.
You will be asked to provide a name and either a telephone number or email address in order to complete the reservation. Complete Seating will use your telephone number or email address to send automated service messages pertaining to your reservation based on your registered preference.
The hospitality operation and their ownership have the right to use your personal information as they see fit.
Complete Seating will use this email address for no other purpose unless you have consented to receive marketing communications from Complete Seating.
Complete Seating users may have certain information (such as VIP status) shared throughout the Complete Seating network of hospitality groups. Hospitality groups cannot access the information or visit histories of Complete Seating users other than guest's histories in their specific hospitality group.
Users outside of the United States should understand that all information shared during the registration and reservation processes is sent to and stored on secure servers that are located in the United States. The United States has data protection laws that may not be consistent with those of other countries. If Complete Seating transfers your information outside of your host country, Complete Seating will take steps to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected.
What information is accessible to hospitality operations:
When you make a reservation using the hospitality operation’s website with Complete Seating’s widgets, your personal information is provided to that hospitality group. You also have the option of providing special preferences or comments regarding your reservation, which Complete Seating will pass on to that hospitality group.
Complete Seating will only share the information specified above with the hospitality group at which you have made reservations using the hospitality operation’s website or telephone numbers. hospitality groups cannot use their Complete Seating System to access information pertaining to guests or visit histories from other hospitality groups, with the exception that hospitality operations under the same partial or whole ownership may elect to share guest information between properties.
Email, SMS/text messages and phone calls from Complete Seating:
Complete Seating sends automated service messages pertaining to upcoming or recent reservations, such as confirmations, reminders, and/or invitations to provide guest feedback. You cannot unsubscribe from any service messages.
Email, SMS and phone calls from hospitality operations:
You may also consent to receive marketing communications from the hospitality operation at which you've made a reservation. Complete Seating plays no role in the content, frequency, timing or un-subscription process of any hospitality operation's marketing communications. If you would like to unsubscribe from a hospitality operation's marketing communications, please contact the appropriate hospitality operation directly.
Location data:
Complete Seating hospitality operation websites can provide helpful information based on where you are. If you tell us or the hospitality group where you are (i.e., by allowing your mobile device to send us your location), we may use that information to provide you with location-based information. If you want to deactivate this feature, you can disable location services on your mobile device, please contact your carrier for more information.
Social Media:
You can choose to access certain third party social media web sites and services through the hospitality operation websites. When you do so, you are sharing information with those sites, and the information you share will be governed by their privacy policies. You can modify your privacy settings with those third parties directly. Complete Seating does not control the privacy policies of such third parties and assumes no responsibility or liability for the actions of such third parties.
Purposes of use of your personal information:
Complete Seating may use your personal information for the following purposes:
- to secure your reservation at the Complete Seating hospitality operation you've selected, by providing your name, personal contact telephone number and email to that hospitality operation,
- to provide services which guests are entitled to under applicable terms and conditions,
- to produce aggregate statistical data for the improvement of services offered by the Complete Seating network and affiliated hospitality group websites,
- to provide hospitality groups with information about your usage of their facilities to improve the management of those affiliated businesses,
- for any other purposes related to those above.
Cookies, web beacons and logging:
Web pages may contain electronic images (called a "single-pixel GIF" or "web beacon") that are used to count users who have visited that page, or to access certain cookies.
Also, web pages may contain interpreted code (e.g. JavaScript) for tracking that page and the experience around those pages.
How Complete Seating uses your personal information:
Complete Seating will never sell, rent, loan or otherwise distribute any of your personal information to any third party without your prior expressed written consent, although Complete Seating will pass all information on to hospitality operations at which you make reservations as described above.
Complete Seating does use aggregate data (based partly on IP addresses of website visitors) collected through hospitality group websites to analyze website usability, system performance and usage trends. While this data, in its aggregate form only, may be shared with third parties with whom Complete Seating works to analyze it, the data will only be shared under the strictest terms of confidentiality and will never contain any personally identifiable information pertaining to any user of the Complete Seating Websites.
The information collected through the hospitality group’s websites can be collected by those hospitality groups and used as they see fit in both actual and aggregated forms.
Specifically, through an association with a company named Google, Inc. ("Google"), Complete Seating may use website code and the Google Analytics auditing software to track page views and entry and exit points to and from Complete Seating hospitality operation websites. Google may place and analyze the cookies on your internet browser to help determine the effectiveness of Complete Seating hospitality operation advertising and marketing campaigns as well as the hospitality group’s advertising marketing campaigns. Again, the data collected will only be used in an aggregate form and will not contain any personally identifiable information, and only Complete Seating, Complete Seating hospitality groups and Google will have access to this aggregate data.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this privacy policy, Complete Seating may be required to disclose user and personal information in response to inquiries by formal law enforcement, or in cases permitted by the United State's CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (CAN-SPAM), the European Union's Safe Harbor Provisions ("Safe Harbor"), Japan's Personal Information Protection Act ("PIPA"), or other related privacy laws and regulations.
How hospitality operations may use your personal information:
Hospitality operations and hospitality groups in the Complete Seating network primarily use guest information provided through their own websites to secure the desired reservations. Additionally, as noted above, the hospitality operation may use the guest’s email address and telephone number to send marketing materials.
Complete Seating hospitality groups want to provide you with the best possible service so that you will visit them again. One way hospitality groups can distinguish themselves is by recognizing returning guests and recalling their special preferences. For this reason, a hospitality group may use its Complete Seating System to take note of your special requests, allergies, special occasions or other pertinent information that will help the hospitality group serve you better during your next visit. If a hospitality group chooses to note your preferences, that information may be typed into its Complete Seating System manually just as a hospitality group might write a note on an index card. This data belongs to the hospitality group, since it is a product of that hospitality group's relationship with you. Complete Seating does not access or use this information, and it is not shared with any other Complete Seating hospitality group or third party, other than, perhaps, a hospitality operation under the same ownership. Complete Seating does create back-up copies of all information stored on the Complete Seating System for that hospitality operation, to assist in the restoration process in the event of data loss.
The hospitality groups within Complete Seating’s network are separate businesses from Complete Seating. While Complete Seating encourages them to comply with data protection requirements, Complete Seating will not be responsible if these hospitality groups fail to comply with respect to your information. Any complaints or inquiries regarding use of your information by an Complete Seating hospitality group, or marketing communications from an Complete Seating hospitality group, should be addressed directly to the hospitality group in question.
hospitality groups within the Complete Seating network have their own websites. Complete Seating is not responsible for how these hospitality groups may collect your personal information through their own websites. Please contact the appropriate hospitality group regarding its website's privacy policy (if applicable) and how it will access or use your personal information.
Changes to Complete Seating’s privacy policy:
Any changes to Complete Seating’s privacy policy will always be posted to this section of the hospitality operation’s website, along with the effective date of the new policy. All users should check this privacy policy page periodically to stay abreast of any such changes. Complete Seating will never make changes to its privacy policy that violate any applicable privacy laws, including CAN-SPAM, Safe Harbor, PIPA, or other commercial privacy standards.
Disclosure, correction, suspension of use of personal information:
If you wish to have Complete Seating disclose to you the personal information held by Complete Seating and the means through which Complete Seating obtained such information, or if you desire the information's correction, suspension of use, or to be informed of the purpose of use by Complete Seating, please contact Complete Seating. (Contact information is provided in the "Contacting Complete Seating" section below.) Upon receiving the request, Complete Seating shall meet such request pursuant to the provisions of each applicable privacy regulation after it confirms that such request has been made by you personally.

TERMS OF USE
This GUEST (or USER) Agreement (the "Agreement") and the policies referred to herein contain the complete terms and conditions that apply to your use of the hospitality operation reservation services (the "Services") being offered at this URL hosted by the hospitality group. As used in this Agreement, "Complete Seating" refers to Complete Seating, LLC. and any of its subsidiaries, and "GUEST," “USER” or "you" refers to you. USE OF THE SERVICES AND THE COMPLETE SEATING SERVICES CONSTITUTES KNOWING ACCEPTANCE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THIS USER AGREEMENT, AND COMPLETE SEATING’S PRIVACY POLICY.
Complete Seating may modify this Agreement's terms and conditions at any time without notice. Continued use of the Services after a change in this Agreement, a change in the Privacy Policy, or after implementation of any other new policy constitutes acceptance of such change or policy. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY REVISED VERSION OF THIS AGREEMENT, PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS SITE.
1. WHAT WE DO
Complete Seating provides the Services to GUEST for the purpose of assisting GUEST in securing reservations at participating third party hospitality operations (each operation that is part of a “Hospitality Group”). In response to a GUEST’s online request, the Complete Seating Service determines if a Hospitality Group can accept the reservation. The availability of reservations is determined at the time of GUEST’s query. Once a reservation is made by GUEST, Complete Seating will provide confirmation of the reservation to GUEST by email, SMS/text or phone call depending on the requested method. By using the Services, GUEST agrees to receive reservation confirmations by email after booking a reservation through the Hospitality Group’s Site.
2. NO SHOW POLICY
Complete Seating is committed to providing superior quality services to its GUESTS and Hospitality Groups. To assist us in maintaining a consistently high level of service with the participating Hospitality Groups and patrons, GUESTS are asked to cancel any reservations that they will be unable to honor at least 30 minutes in advance on the day of the reservation. You may cancel your reservation online or call the hospitality operation directly. In the case of larger party reservations, where the hospitality operation has requested a credit card, you may be required to cancel your reservation in accordance with that hospitality operation's individual cancellation policy, which will always be shared with the GUEST at the time the reservation is made.
If you are unable to keep your reservation and you fail to cancel, Complete Seating will send you an email letting you know that our records indicate that you were a no-show. By using the Services, GUEST agrees to receive no-show confirmations by email after a Hospitality Group and/or the Complete Seating Service reports your reservation was not honored, whether or not that was in fact the case. Your Complete Seating guest profile may be terminated or blocked if you no-show for four reservations within the same twelve-month period. If you receive a no-show confirmation email in error, please click here for information on how to dispute it. GUEST agrees that all final no-show determination will be made by Complete Seating and Hospitality Groups in its sole discretion.
3. PRIVACY POLICY
Complete Seating is committed to safeguarding your privacy online. Please review our privacy policy above.
4. USAGE GUIDELINES
The Services are being offered to GUEST for GUEST’s personal use. GUEST agrees to use the Services only to book reservations at participating Hospitality Operations and Hospitality Groups and then honor those reservations by arriving at the Hospitality Operations(s) on time and ordering and paying for a meal. GUEST further agrees not to book more than one (1) reservation for GUEST’s personal use during any one meal time (e.g., lunch, dinner, etc.). GUEST may be able to book multiple reservations through Complete Seating’s Administrative Assistant and/or Concierge programs. Resale or attempted resale of reservations is prohibited, and is grounds for, among other things, cancellation. Complete Seating expressly reserves all its rights and remedies under applicable state and federal law.
Any and all other uses which are unlawful or in violation of this Agreement's terms and conditions are prohibited. Complete Seating reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to refuse service, terminate accounts, remove or edit content, or cancel reservations.
5. EMAIL POLICY
GUEST acknowledges and agrees that GUEST will receive reservation confirmation emails, no-show confirmation emails, reservation change confirmation emails, reservation cancelation confirmation emails and other emails relating to reservations booked by GUEST through the Complete Seating Service and the Hospitality Group’s website, even if GUEST has opted not to receive periodic email from Complete Seating. You will never receive email from any third party affiliated with Complete Seating, such as a Hospitality Operation, unless you have affirmatively opted to receive such email. In accordance with our Privacy Policy, we do not share any of your individual information without your prior consent.
