1. Who We Are
Table Flow Hospitality provides reservation, waitlist, guest communication, staff workflow, payment-link, integration and reporting tools for hospitality businesses. For platform administration and our own website enquiries, Table Flow Hospitality acts as controller. For restaurant guest data processed for a restaurant customer, the restaurant is usually the controller and Table Flow Hospitality acts as processor.
2. Personal Data We May Process
We may process names, email addresses, phone numbers, booking details, party size, seating preferences, accessibility requirements, special requests, arrival/check-in information, staff account details, business contact details, support messages, audit logs, IP addresses, device information and integration status. Restaurants may also record guest notes such as dietary preferences or allergies where needed for service.
3. How We Use Personal Data
We use personal data to provide bookings, send confirmations and reminders, manage waitlists, notify guests when tables are ready, support staff accounts, connect integrations, process service requests, protect the platform, keep audit records, improve the service and comply with legal duties.
4. Lawful Bases
Depending on the activity, we may rely on contract, legitimate interests, consent, legal obligation, or vital interests where important safety information such as allergy or accessibility details is needed for a booking. Marketing messages should only be sent where the restaurant or Table Flow has a lawful basis to do so.
5. Sharing Personal Data
Data may be shared with the restaurant handling the booking, authorised staff users, payment providers, email and SMS providers, hosting providers, analytics and monitoring tools, POS or calendar integrations, professional advisers, regulators, or law enforcement where required. We do not sell personal data.
6. Payments
Payment details are handled by third-party payment providers. Table Flow Hospitality does not store raw card details. We may store payment status, receipt references, deposit status and transaction identifiers needed to manage reservations and reporting.
7. International Transfers
Some providers may process data outside the UK. Where this happens, appropriate safeguards should be used, such as adequacy regulations, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, approved addendum, or equivalent protections required by UK data protection law.
8. Retention
Personal data is kept only for as long as needed for bookings, restaurant operations, account management, legal obligations, dispute handling, security and reporting. Retention periods may differ depending on the restaurant, account settings and legal requirements.
9. Security
We use technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data, including access controls, role-based permissions, audit logging, encryption in appropriate places, secure webhooks and operational monitoring. No system can be guaranteed completely secure.
10. Cookies And Similar Technologies
The website and platform may use necessary cookies or local storage for login sessions, security, preferences and service operation. Analytics or marketing cookies should only be used where legally permitted and, where required, with consent.
11. Your Rights
Under UK data protection law, individuals may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to processing, request portability, and withdraw consent where consent is used. Some requests about restaurant bookings may need to be handled by the restaurant as controller.
12. Complaints
If you have a privacy concern, contact support@tableflow.uk first so it can be reviewed. You may also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office in the UK.
13. Contact
For privacy questions, contact support@tableflow.uk. This generic privacy policy should be reviewed by a qualified legal adviser before commercial launch and updated with final company details, registered address, processor list and retention periods.
