Ikara Restaurant ("we", "our", "us") operates the website www.ikararestaurant.com. This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information we receive from users of the site, including how we use that information for our own marketing and advertising and how we share it with third-party marketing and advertising partners.

Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us when you fill out our contact, reservation, newsletter, or event enquiry forms, including your name, email address, phone number, and message. We also automatically collect certain technical information when you visit our site, such as your IP address, device and browser type, pages viewed, and referring website, typically through cookies and similar tracking technologies (see "Cookies & Tracking Technologies" below).

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to respond to your enquiries, process reservations, send you newsletters or promotional communications you have signed up for, and improve our services. We also use this information, and share it with the third-party advertising and marketing partners described below, to advertise to you and to people similar to you, measure the performance of our marketing campaigns, and better understand how visitors use our site.

Sharing Your Information With Third-Party Marketing & Advertising Partners

We do not sell your personal information in exchange for money. We do, however, share certain information with third-party advertising, analytics, and marketing platforms so that we can advertise to you, reach people like you, and measure how well our advertising works. Depending on how you interact with us, this may include your name, email address, phone number, and technical/usage data described above. Our current marketing partners include:

  • Google (Google Ads, Google Customer Match, and Google Analytics) — we may securely upload a hashed (encrypted, not plain-text) version of your email address and/or phone number to Google so that we can show ads to you and to audiences that share similar characteristics ("lookalike" or "similar" audiences) across Google Search, YouTube, Gmail, and the Google Display Network. We also use Google Analytics to understand site traffic and campaign performance. Google's use of this data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy and Google's Ads Data Processing Terms.
  • Meta (Facebook and Instagram) — we may share a hashed version of your contact information, or use the Meta pixel on our site, to build Custom Audiences, deliver retargeting ads, and reach similar audiences on Facebook and Instagram. Meta's use of this data is governed by the Meta Privacy Policy.
  • Brevo (our email marketing and transactional email platform) — we use Brevo to send newsletters, promotions, and confirmations you have requested or signed up for. Brevo processes your contact information on our behalf under its own Privacy Policy.
  • Other service providers — including our reservation/booking system, spreadsheet and CRM tools we use to manage enquiries (such as Google Sheets), reCAPTCHA/spam-prevention services, hosting providers, and other marketing or analytics tools we may add from time to time. We only share what is reasonably necessary for these providers to perform services on our behalf or, where noted above, to deliver and measure advertising.

We do not knowingly share sensitive categories of personal information (such as government IDs, financial account numbers, or health information) with any advertising partner.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Our site uses cookies, pixels, and similar tracking technologies to enhance user experience, remember your preferences, analyze site traffic, and support the advertising described above (for example, the Google Ads/Analytics tags and the Meta pixel). Some of these technologies are placed by us directly, and some are placed by our third-party advertising partners once you visit our site or interact with our content. By using our site, you consent to our use of cookies and similar technologies in accordance with this policy. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; disabling cookies may affect certain features of our site.

Your Choices & Opting Out of Interest-Based Advertising

You have several ways to control how your information is used for marketing:

  • Email marketing: every promotional email we send includes an unsubscribe link, or you can email us at the address below to opt out.
  • Google ad personalization: visit Google Ads Settings to opt out of personalized advertising.
  • Meta ad preferences: visit your Facebook Ad Preferences to control how your data is used for advertising.
  • Industry opt-out tools: you can also opt out of many advertising networks at once via optout.aboutads.info or optout.networkadvertising.org.
  • General requests: you may also contact us directly to ask what personal information we hold about you, to request that we correct or delete it, or to ask that we stop sharing it with our marketing partners, and we will honor reasonable requests to the extent required by applicable law.

Opting out through these tools may not stop all advertising and does not opt you out of non-advertising communications, such as reservation confirmations.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements, after which it is deleted or anonymized.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the marketing and advertising partners we use, or applicable law. We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
