Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how grossbar.com ("we", "us", "the site") collects, uses and protects information when you visit the website. By using the site you agree to the practices described here.
Information we collect
Information you give us
When you use the contact form or newsletter sign-up we receive the details you enter — typically your name, email address and message. We use this only to reply to you or to send the updates you asked for. You can ask us to delete it at any time.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting provider records standard server logs: your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit, the time of the visit and the referring page. These logs are used for security and to keep the site running, and are not linked to you personally.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. This site may use:
- Functional cookies that remember basic preferences.
- Analytics cookies (for example Google Analytics) that help us understand which pages are useful. Data is aggregated and anonymized where possible.
- Advertising cookies set by Google and its partners, described below.
You can refuse or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the site may not work as intended without them.
Advertising and Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies — including the DoubleClick DART cookie — to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet. Third-party vendors and ad networks may also use cookies, web beacons or similar technologies to measure ad performance and personalize the ads you see.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.
- For details on how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
We do not control the cookies set by third-party advertisers and their use is governed by those companies' own privacy policies.
Third-party links and embeds
The site links to external services such as social media, our gift card provider, map embeds and news publications. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites, and we encourage you to read their policies.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (including under the GDPR in the EU/UK and the CCPA/CPRA in California), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell personal information. To exercise any of these rights, email us at the address below.
Data security and retention
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, including serving the site over HTTPS. Contact-form messages are kept only as long as needed to respond and handle any follow-up. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page, and the date at the top will be updated.
