With Whom We Share Personal Data
In order to provide the Services, Sweet Paris shares your personal data to third parties who perform services on our behalf, or the website enables third party providers to collect personal data directly from you on our behalf, including without limitation our technology providers, analytics providers, electronic communication providers and professional advisors. Sweet Paris’ relationship with such third parties is contractual in nature, as each such third party is a third-party vendor to Sweet Paris, and they are not subject to Sweet Paris’ direction or control; thus, the relationships are not, and should not be construed as, one of fiduciaries, franchisors-franchisees, agents-principals, employers-employees, partners, joint venturers or the like.
We utilize the services of Toast, our point-of sale provider, for our online food orders and loyalty and rewards program registration. When you place an online order or register for our loyalty and rewards program, you are consenting to use the services of Toast. Toast has its own privacy policy and terms of use that you should review prior to completing an online order. Toast may, in turn, have their own service providers that process your personal data on Toast’s behalf.
We utilize the services of Securetree App, to administer our gift card system. Please see the privacy disclosures and terms set forth on https://sweetparis.securetree.com/terms-and-privacy/.

We may share your data with a third party in the event of any reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer, liquidation or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets or stock with such third party.
We may share aggregated and de-identified information with third parties for analytical, research or other similar purposes.

Storage and Protection of Your Personal Data
We retain the personal data we collect for so long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which the data was collected and to perform our contractual and legal obligations. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, we store email addresses and phone numbers until the user requests their information to be removed from our systems.
Sweet Paris does not collect or store payment card information; rather we utilize the Toast platform and payment processors and store only an electronic receipt that sets forth confirming payment details, such as purchase date, the expiration date of the payment card and the payment ID, but not complete payment card information. If you create a Toast account, you have the option to have Toast store and remember your payment card information for future purchases. You may update your card information or cancel this authorization to Toast any time via the “My Account” page of the Toast Online Ordering website.
We take reasonable administrative, physical and technical precautions to protect your personal data and communications between us. This includes, when required or as we deem appropriate and feasible under the circumstances, encryption and written commitments from third parties that may have access to your data that they will protect the data with reasonable safeguards that are substantially equivalent to those used by us.
No Internet or e-mail transmission is ever fully secure or error free, however. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security of your data, and we are not responsible for processes and networks that we do not control. Users assume the risk of security breaches and the consequences resulting from them. Please be careful in deciding what information you send to us via email or over the Internet.
