Privacy Policy

Privacy, cookies, and reservation data handling.

This policy explains how Barton Investors Group handles website data, cookie choices, and third-party booking journeys. It should be reviewed again before launch and whenever services such as analytics are enabled.

Effective date: 11 April 2026

This privacy policy is provided as a strong website-ready draft for Barton Investors Group. It should be checked again before launch to ensure it matches the final services, cookies, booking flow, and operational practices used on the live site.

What Information We May Collect

We may collect your name, contact details, enquiry details, booking-related selections, technical device and browser information, cookie preferences, and any information you choose to send to us through forms or communications.

If you follow a booking journey from this website to OpenTable, you may also provide reservation information directly to OpenTable. That information is collected and processed on OpenTable's platform under OpenTable's own terms and privacy practices.

How We Use Personal Information

We use personal information to operate and improve the website, respond to enquiries, manage venue and booking-related communications, maintain security, remember cookie choices, and understand how the website is used where analytics are enabled with consent.

We do not use this website to complete restaurant reservations directly. Where you choose to make a booking, you will be redirected to OpenTable to complete that process.

Lawful Bases

Depending on the context, we rely on one or more of the following lawful bases: consent, performance of a contract or taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, compliance with legal obligations, and our legitimate interests in operating, maintaining, and improving the website and our services.

Where consent is required, such as for optional analytics cookies, you can refuse or withdraw that consent.

Cookies

We use necessary cookies to help the website function, including remembering your cookie preferences. Necessary cookies do not require opt-in consent.

We may also use analytics cookies in future to understand website traffic and usage. Those analytics cookies should only be activated after you have given consent through the cookie banner or any later preference controls we introduce.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings, although disabling necessary cookies may affect how the website works.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics is not currently active on this website unless and until we enable it. If we do enable it, we intend to use Google Analytics 4 to help us understand aggregated website usage, measure site performance, and improve user experience.

If Google Analytics is enabled in future, it will be subject to cookie consent for analytics and this policy will apply to that use. Google may process technical information such as IP-related data, device information, browser details, and on-site behaviour data in accordance with its own privacy terms.

OpenTable Bookings

When you use booking links or the booking journey on this website, you are redirected to OpenTable to complete your reservation. OpenTable collects and processes the booking information required to manage that reservation.

Barton Investors Group may receive reservation-related details from OpenTable so that we can administer and honour bookings. OpenTable is responsible for its own platform, cookies, and reservation processing. You should review OpenTable's privacy policy before completing a booking.

Sharing Information

We may share information with service providers who help us operate the website or related services, including hosting providers, website suppliers, analytics providers where enabled with consent, and booking platform providers such as OpenTable.

We may also disclose information where required by law or where necessary to protect legal rights, prevent fraud, or respond to security issues.

International Transfers

Some website service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where that happens, we expect appropriate safeguards to be used, such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent protections recognised under applicable data protection law.

Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including to meet legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, operational, and dispute-resolution requirements.

Your Rights

Under UK data protection law, you may have rights including the right to access personal information, request correction, request deletion, object to certain processing, request restriction, request data portability in some cases, and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

If you wish to exercise your rights, please contact us using the contact details in this policy.

Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we handle personal information, we would appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns first. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) in the United Kingdom.

Changes To This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any material changes will be reflected on this page together with an updated effective date.
