Effective Date: October 2021

Union Square Hospitality Group, LLC and its affiliates, subsidiaries and restaurants (collectively, “USHG”, “we”, “us” or “our”) are concerned about privacy issues and want you to be familiar with how we collect, use and disclose information. This privacy policy (and as amended from time to time as posted on our website here, “Privacy Policy”) describes our practices in connection with collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, disclosing, retaining, and transferring information that we collect through our ushg.com and other websites operated by us from which you are accessing this Privacy Policy (the “Websites”), by purchasing our products online (“Products”) or our services online, through our social media pages that we control from which you are accessing this Privacy Policy (collectively, our “Social Media Pages”), through HTML-formatted email messages that we send to you that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, including the Websites, and our Social Media Pages, the “Services”), when you interact with our digital services (including using our WiFi), and when you contact us.

Acknowledgment and Consent

By interacting with our digital services, visiting our Website or purchasing our Products or Services in any manner, you acknowledge that you accept the terms, practices and policies described in this Privacy Policy (and as updated from time to time), and you hereby consent that we may collect, use, and share your information as described herein. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use our Website or our Services. Your use of the Website and our Services is at all times subject to our Terms of Use (available here and as updated from time to time (the “Terms”)), which incorporates this Privacy Policy.

What Information Does This Privacy Policy Cover?

This Privacy Policy covers our treatment of information that identifies or that can reasonably be linked to you (“Personal Information”). The Personal Information we collect includes:

Personal Information does not include information that has been altered or aggregated so that it no longer reasonably identifies you.   

We may use a third-party payment service to process payments made through the Services. We do not collect or store your full credit card information, though we may collect tokenized payment information. If you wish to make a payment through the Services, your Personal Information may be collected by such third party and not by us and will be subject to the third party’s privacy policy, rather than this Privacy Policy. We have no control over, and are not responsible for, this third party’s collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information.

Individuals under the Age of 16

We do not knowingly collect, solicit or maintain Personal Information from anyone under the age of sixteen or knowingly allow such persons to register for our Services. If you are under the age of 16, please do not send any Personal Information about yourself (such as your name, address, telephone number, or email address) to us.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

As we improve our Website, Services, and business practices, we may need to change this Privacy Policy from time to time as well. Our current Privacy Policy will always be on our Website here and any updates will be effective upon posting. You are responsible for periodically checking our Website for updates. If you use the Website, purchase products, or use our Services after any changes to the Privacy Policy have been posted, that means you agree to the new Privacy Policy, including all of the changes. Use of information we collect now is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is collected.
