At Taj Mahal Indian specialty restaurant we handle your personal data with care. In this privacy statement we explain what data we collect when you visit our website, reserve a table, order food or contact us, why we do so and what rights you have. We adhere to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

2. What data do we process and why?

Reserve table

If you book online, we use the reservation system of Reserveren.nl for this. You provide your name, email address, telephone number, date, time and number of people, and possibly a comment (for example a wish about the court). We use this information to record your reservation, send you a confirmation and reach you if anything changes. Basis: execution of the agreement (your reservation). Reserveren.nl processes this data on our behalf.

Do you mention an allergy or dietary requirement in a comment? Then we only use that information to properly prepare your dish, and only because you give it to us yourself. You are not obliged to report this online; you can also report it to the service on site.

Order, deliver and collect food

You can order from us via our ordering site -tajmahal.nl, via Thuisbezorgd.nl, via Uber Eats or by telephone. If you order via one of these platforms, you provide your details (such as name, address, telephone number and payment details) to that platform. That platform processes your data according to its own privacy statement; we only receive what is necessary to prepare and deliver or prepare your order. Basis: implementation of the agreement.

Contact via telephone, email, WhatsApp or the contact form

If you contact us, we will use your name, contact details and your message to answer your question. If you send us a message via WhatsApp, it will be via the WhatsApp service (Meta); WhatsApp's privacy policy also applies to this. Basis: our legitimate interest to answer your question, or to take steps at your request before an agreement is concluded.

Website visit, cookies and statistics

Our website uses functional cookies that are necessary for the site to work properly, for example to remember your cookie choice. No permission is required for this.

Only if you consent to this in the cookie notification, we use Google Analytics (via Google Tag Manager) to measure how visitors use our website, such as which pages are viewed and how often buttons such as “Reserveren”, “Order” or our telephone number is clicked. This way we can improve the website. This includes processing your IP address (shortened), the type of device and browser and your surfing behavior on our site. If you do not give permission, we will not place these cookies and only anonymous signals will be sent to Google without cookies (Google Consent Mode). Basis: consent. You can always withdraw or adjust your consent via the “Manage consent” button on the website.

Google Maps maps and Instagram messages can be shown on our website. These services may place cookies; That is why we only load them once you have given permission. More information can be found in us cookie policy.

3. Who do we share your data with?

We never sell your data. We only share data with parties we need for our services:

• Reserve.nl for online table reservations.
• Thuisbezorgd.nl, Uber Eats and our ordering site if you order through that route.
• Google (Analytics, Tag Manager, Maps) – only after your permission, see above.
• Our hosting party and web builder for the technical management of the website. They only have access to data to the extent necessary for that management.

We make agreements with parties that process data on our behalf to protect your data. Some of these parties (such as Google) may process data outside the European Economic Area. This only happens with appropriate safeguards, such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. In addition, we only pass on data if the law obliges us to do so.

4. How long do we keep your data?

• Reservations: up to a maximum of 12 months after your visit.
• Contact messages: up to a maximum of 12 months after your question has been processed.
• Orders and invoices: 7 years, because the tax retention obligation requires this.
• Website statistics: maximum 14 months (the retention period in Google Analytics).

5. How do we protect your data?

We take appropriate measures to protect your data against loss and unauthorized use. Our website uses a secure connection (https), access to systems is limited to who needs them, and the website and plugins are updated regularly.

6. Your rights

You have the right to view, have corrected or have your personal data deleted. You can also object to the processing, have the processing restricted and have your data transferred. If you have given permission, you can always withdraw it. Send your request to info@tajmahal.nl. We will respond within a month. To prevent abuse, we may ask you to identify you.

Are you not satisfied with how we handle your data? Let us know and we will find a solution together. You also always have the right to file a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority.

7. Changes

We may amend this privacy statement, for example if our website or the law changes. The most current version is always on this page. At the top you will see when the statement was last updated.
