The Grill on the Alley Privacy Policy

Grill Concepts, Inc., its subsidiaries and affiliates (referred to collectively as "We," "our", "us", or "GCI") recognizes and respects the privacy of visitors to this Site and has created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our commitment to your privacy. We are committed to providing you with services that you are confident in using. We want you to be fully informed about the information that we collect, why we collect it, and with whom we share it. It is our hope that, after reading this notice, you will understand our commitment to privacy and be confident that we will use your information responsibly. By accessing this Site or otherwise using GCI's services, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy will change from time to time to reflect changes in how we do business and changes in services available to you through our Site. You may access the most recent policy by clicking on the "Privacy Policy" link on our home page. Because this policy may be revised from time to time, we encourage you to check here periodically for policy updates.

Information We Collect

We collect and use information about you where we reasonably believe it will help us administer our business or provide products, services or other opportunities to you. Among other things, we use the information we learn about you to help us personalize and improve the experience you have with us, to respond to your requests and to communicate with you. The types of information we collect, retain and use include the following:

You are free to visit parts of our Site anonymously (without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself), but if you choose to make a purchase or submit information to join our team you may be required to register as described below.
We gather usage information while you use the Site and transfer the information to our servers as frequently as nightly. Our web servers track and collect the visitor's domain name and IP address, but not the email address. This information is aggregated to measure the number of visits, average time spent on the Site, pages viewed, the items you may have purchased or bid on, and so on.
GCI may use this information ("Site Usage Information") to measure the use of our Site and to improve the content of our Site. We may share with third parties such as marketing or service providers' experiential information or other data which does not personally identify you or other users of our Site. This might include product or service preferences of all visitors to our Site, for example.
GCI does not collect any other information about you online which would personally identify you other than the Personally Identifiable Information described below.

Like many web sites we use "cookies" to identify your computer and to enable us to remember your password, to help us identify the portions of our Site that may be the most relevant for your needs, and to help us identify other products or services that may be of interest to you or others. A cookie is a small piece of information that a web site can store on your web browser and then retrieve at a later time. We use cookies to track the portions of our Site you visit. However, we do not use cookies to examine your surfing behavior before or after you leave our Site. There are products commercially available that are designed to help you disable cookies. Although we want you to be aware that such products exist, please note that if you choose to use them we will not be able to provide you with a personalized service, and it may result in certain features and services not being available to you.

GCI collects certain information from you if you choose to submit it on our Site or if you send us an email or make a purchase from us online ("Personally Identifiable Information"). This information helps us to identify you and to personalize our services to you.

We welcome you to join our email list by submitting your name, address, email address and closest restaurant location. If you send us an inquiry or request by e-mail, we will retain your e-mail address after we respond to your request or inquiry. We may use your e-mail address to contact you in the future with product or service information which we believe may be of interest to you.

The Grill Concepts loyalty programs ("The Grill on the Alley VIP", "Daily Grill VIP", and "Public School A-List", known collectively as the "Programs") are promotional programs that are offered as a benefit for GCI's loyal guests at participating locations, subject to the Programs' terms and conditions and all applicable laws. Please visit us at www.thegrill.com, www.dailygrill.com or www.psontap.com to join, review the current Terms and Conditions, participating locations or any other additional information regarding the Programs.

If you make a purchase on our Site, we might ask you for your credit card information in addition to the registration Information. This will include the credit card number and expiration date, billing address and name on the account ("Credit Card Information"). GCI does not keep your Credit Card Information on file and you will need to re-enter your Credit Card Information each time you make a purchase provided that for certain transactions such as on-line ordering, you might have the option of saving your credit card information for future use through a third party on-line ordering service. For additional information regarding this, please review the on-line orders section below.

You may look for job openings and submit your job application using the SilkRoad.com service on our Site. We collect information through your application including work authorization status, education, employment history, gender, ethnicity, military and disability status in addition to your Personally Identifiable Information. Access to this feature is limited to registered users who must use their email address and a password to enter. When you provide information on www.SilkRoad.com you are submitting the information under SilkRoad.com's own privacy policy. SilkRoad.com is not owned or controlled by GCI and their privacy policy may differ from ours. We encourage you to read their privacy policy before providing information.

You may make reservations at many of our restaurants using a third party reservation service on our Site such as OpenTable. These services may require you to provide your name, telephone number and email address when you make a reservation. When you provide information in this way you are submitting the information under the privacy policy of that third party service, which is not owned or controlled by GCI and their privacy policy may differ from ours. We encourage you to read their privacy policy before providing information.

You may purchase gift cards for our restaurants using the service on our Site provided through CashStar. You will be asked to provide your name, email address, Credit Card Information and other information when you place the order. When you provide information to CashStar, you are submitting the information under CashStar.com's own privacy policy. CashStar is not owned or controlled by GCI and their privacy policy may differ from ours. We encourage you to read their privacy policy before providing information.
