Your data

Privacy Policy

What this site collects, why, who else is involved, and how to control it.

This policy explains how 212steakhousenyc.com (“this site”, “we”) handles information about visitors. It applies to this website only, and not to any other site you reach from it.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, this site's hosting infrastructure records standard technical information when a page is requested. This typically includes your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, the page requested, the referring page, and the date and time. This information is used to operate the site securely, diagnose faults and understand aggregate traffic patterns. It is not used to build a profile of you as an individual.

Information you provide

If you email us, we receive your email address, your name if you give it, and whatever you write. That information is used solely to respond to you. It is not sold, rented, shared with third parties for marketing, or added to any mailing list. Correspondence is retained only as long as needed to deal with the matter.

This site does not operate a newsletter, a user account system, a checkout, or a booking system, and it does not ask for payment details under any circumstances.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small files stored by your browser. This site uses them in two categories.

Essential

Required for the site to function and to keep it secure. These cannot be switched off through the site.

Advertising and measurement

Set by third-party advertising partners to serve advertisements, limit how often you see the same advertisement, and measure advertising performance. These are described below.

Third-party advertising

This site is funded by display advertising served by third-party networks. Those networks act as independent controllers of the data they collect.

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve advertisements based on your prior visits to this site or other sites.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve advertisements to you based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
  • You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
  • You can opt out of personalised advertising from many other vendors at aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.eu.
  • Third-party networks may also use device identifiers, approximate location derived from IP address, and similar signals. Their own privacy policies govern that processing.

We do not have access to, and do not control, the cookies or data collected by advertising partners, and we cannot delete data held by them on your behalf. Requests of that kind must go to the vendor directly.

Analytics

Aggregate analytics may be used to understand which pages are read and how visitors arrive. Where this involves a third-party service, that service's own privacy terms apply to the data it processes. Analytics data is used in aggregate and is not used to identify individual readers.

Legal bases and your rights

Where the UK GDPR, EU GDPR or comparable law applies to you, the legal bases for processing are legitimate interests (operating and securing the site, responding to correspondence) and consent (non-essential advertising and measurement cookies, where a consent mechanism is presented).

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • Request access to personal information held about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate information.
  • Request deletion of information.
  • Object to or restrict certain processing.
  • Withdraw consent for cookie-based advertising at any time.
  • Opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information, where applicable under state privacy laws in the United States.

To exercise any of these in relation to information this site holds, email editor@212steakhousenyc.com. Note that most advertising data is held by the advertising networks rather than by us, and those requests should be directed to them.

Children

This site is intended for a general adult audience. It does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information to us, write to us and it will be deleted.

Data retention

Server logs are retained for a limited period for security and diagnostic purposes. Correspondence is retained only as long as needed. Advertising and analytics retention is governed by the relevant third party.

International transfers

This site's hosting and its third-party service providers may process data in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where required, those transfers rely on the safeguards offered by the relevant provider.

External links

Pages here link to external websites. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of any site we link to, and this policy does not apply to them.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated as the site or the law changes. The review date below always reflects the current version.
