Privacy Policy

Please note: This is a tailored draft, not legal advice. Have qualified counsel review it before relying on it.

This Privacy Policy explains how The Horseshoe (“The Horseshoe,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a restaurant in Benson, Arizona, collects, uses, and shares information when you visit our website, contact us, or apply for a job through our site.

1. Who we are

The Horseshoe is a restaurant located at 154 E. 4th St, Benson, Arizona, serving the community since 1936. We are the party responsible for the information described in this policy. This policy applies to our website.

2. Information we collect

Information you give us

When you use a form on our site, we collect the information you choose to provide:

• Contact form: your name, email address, and the message you send.
• Job application: your name, email address, phone number, the position you are applying for, your employment history (current and previous employers and manager contact details), your response to a question about felony convictions in the past five years and any explanation you provide, and any additional information you include.

If you call, text, or email us directly, we also receive whatever information you share that way.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the site, our hosting provider automatically records standard technical information — such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, and the date and time of your visit — in its server logs, which we use to operate and secure the site.

3. How we use it

• Respond to your messages and questions;
• Review and process job applications and contact you about employment;
• Operate, maintain, and secure our website; and
• Comply with the law and enforce our Terms & Conditions.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.

4. Cookies & analytics

This website does not use analytics tools, advertising pixels, or retargeting trackers, and it does not set marketing cookies. The site loads typefaces from Google Fonts; your browser contacts Google’s servers to do this, which means Google receives your IP address as part of that request. Because there is no industry-standard response, we do not currently respond to browser “Do Not Track” signals.

5. How we share it

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as needed to run our business:

• Service providers who work on our behalf, including Resend (which delivers the email from our website forms to us) and Vercel (website hosting and server logs), and Google (web fonts).
• Legal and safety — when required by law, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of The Horseshoe, our guests, our staff, or others.
• Business transfers — in connection with a sale or transfer of the business, subject to this policy.

6. Job applicants

Information you submit through the job application is used to evaluate you for employment. The question about felony convictions is used only in connection with hiring decisions and consistent with applicable law; providing an explanation is optional. We keep application information as needed to make hiring decisions and to meet our record-keeping obligations.

7. How long we keep it

We keep the information you send for as long as needed to respond to you, evaluate applications, maintain business records, and meet our legal obligations, and then take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it. Server logs are retained by our host for a limited period.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical measures — including HTTPS encryption and a spam/bot filter on our forms — to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your choices & rights

You can ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information you have submitted to us. Depending on where you live you may have additional rights under laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA). We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. To make a request, contact us using Section 12.

10. Children’s privacy

Our website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date above and post the revised policy on this page.
