Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Scott's Seafood Grill & Bar(“Scott's Seafood,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares personal information when you visit scottsjls.com(the “Site”) or contact us through it. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described below.

Information we collect

We only collect personal information you choose to provide and a limited amount of technical data needed to operate and protect the Site.

Information you provide

• Contact form: your name, email address, optional phone number, and the message you send.
• Private event & catering inquiries: your name, email, phone number, event type, date, guest count, preferred room or location, and any details you include.
• Gift card purchases:your name, email, phone number, the recipient's name and (for emailed cards) email, a mailing address (for mailed cards), and your gift message. Payment card details are entered directly into Stripe's secure payment fields and are processed by Stripe — we never see or store your full card number.

Information collected automatically

• Anti-spam data: when you submit a form we record your IP address and a Google reCAPTCHA risk score to help prevent spam and abuse.
• Cookies and similar technologies: see Cookies below.

How we use your information

• To respond to your messages, inquiries, and reservations.
• To process and fulfill gift card purchases.
• To send transactional emails (confirmations and receipts).
• To prevent spam, fraud, and abuse, and to secure the Site.
• To comply with legal obligations.

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

Service providers we share data with

We share personal information only with vendors that help us run the Site and our business, under contracts that limit their use of it:

We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, safety, or property.

Cookies

We do not use advertising or analytics cookies. The Site sets only cookies that are necessary for core functions:

• Google reCAPTCHA sets a cookie to tell humans from bots when you use our forms.
• Stripe sets cookies on the gift card page to enable secure payment and fraud prevention.
• Google Maps may set cookies on the contact page when the map loads.

We also use your browser's session storage to remember which on-site announcements you have dismissed; this is cleared when you close your browser tab. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings, though some features (payments, maps, form submission) may not work without them.

Data retention

We keep form submissions and gift card records for as long as needed to respond to you, fulfill orders, meet our legal and accounting obligations, and resolve disputes, after which we delete or anonymize them.

Your California privacy rights

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by the CPRA) gives you the right to request that we:

• Disclose the personal information we have collected about you;
• Delete personal information we hold about you;
• Correct inaccurate personal information; and
• Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

Because we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, no opt-out of sale is necessary. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. We will verify your request and respond as required by law.

Children's privacy

The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Effective” date above and post the updated version on this page.
