Privacy Policy

Hudson Social ("we," "us") is a restaurant and bar at 128 Bedford Street, Stamford, CT 06901. This policy explains what personal information we collect when you visit hudsonsocialct.com, book a table, send us an event inquiry, order online or sign up for our emails, and what we do with it.

By using our website or giving us your information, you agree to this policy.

What we collect

When you book a table. Reservations are handled by OpenTable. We receive your name, phone number, email address, party size, date and time, and any notes you add (allergies, occasions, seating requests). If a deposit or credit card hold applies, OpenTable and its payment processor handle the card details. We do not see or store your full card number.

When you inquire about a party or private event. Our Book a Party form collects your name, email, phone number, company (if any), event date, guest count and the details you share. We use this to plan your event and send you a proposal and agreement.

When you order online or buy a gift card. Online orders are processed by Toast. Toast collects your name, phone number, email, order details and payment information to fill and charge your order.

When you sign up for our emails. We collect your email address and, if you give it, your name.

When you dine with us. We may note preferences you share with us, such as allergies, favorite tables or special occasions, so we can take care of you on your next visit.

When you browse our website. Like most websites, ours automatically collects basic technical information: device and browser type, IP address, general location (city level), pages viewed, time of visit and the site that referred you. This comes from cookies and similar tools described below.

How we use it

• To confirm, manage and remind you about reservations, orders and events.
• To answer your questions and inquiries.
• To send booking confirmations and, after a visit, the occasional feedback request.
• To send news, events and offers, only if you have signed up for them.
• To keep records our business needs, and to improve our food, service and website.
• To protect our guests, staff and website from fraud and misuse.

Who we share it with

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share it only with the companies that help us run the restaurant, and only as much as they need to do their job:

• OpenTable for reservations.
• Toast for online ordering, gift cards and payments.
• Squarespace, which hosts our website, forms and email list.
• Google for website analytics, maps and email.

Each of these companies has its own privacy policy and handles your information under it. We may also share information if the law requires it, or to protect the rights and safety of our guests, staff or business.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files a website saves in your browser. We use them to keep the site working properly, remember your choices, and understand how visitors use the site (for example, which pages are most popular). Some cookies are set by the services listed above, such as Google Analytics and OpenTable.

When you first visit, our cookie banner lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of the site, like the booking window, may not work as well.

Your choices

• Marketing emails. We will not send you marketing emails unless you signed up. Every email has an unsubscribe link, or you can write to us and we will remove you.
• Your information. You can ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email info@hudsonsocialct.com. Some records, such as receipts, we may need to keep for legal or tax reasons.
• Reservation accounts. If you have an OpenTable account, you can manage it directly with OpenTable.

How long we keep it

We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the reasons above, or as long as the law requires. Event files are generally kept for repeat bookings and accounting, and email sign-ups are kept until you unsubscribe.

Our website uses SSL encryption, and payments are processed by our providers using their own secure systems. We do not store full card numbers on our website. No system is completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information.
