Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information we collect when you use thegrovetyler.com, why we collect it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. The site is operated by The Grove Kitchen & Gardens, a restaurant and event venue at 3500 Old Jacksonville Hwy, Tyler, TX 75701.

It covers this website. It does not cover what happens when you dine with us, book an event over the phone, or use a separate service we link to, each of which is described where relevant below.

Information you give us

You can browse this site without telling us anything about yourself. We only receive personal information when you choose to send it, which happens in these places:

• Newsletter signup. The form in our footer asks for your email address, and nothing else.
• Catering inquiries. The form on our catering page asks for your name, email address, phone number, the date and time of your event, the type of event, the number of guests, and the address where it will be held.
• Email and phone. Our private events pages and footer link to our email address and phone number. If you contact us that way, we receive whatever you choose to include.

Please do not send us sensitive information through this website. If you need to share something confidential about an event, tell us and we will find a better way to handle it.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, ours records some technical information as you browse. Our hosting provider keeps server logs that may include your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you request, the page that referred you, and the date and time of your visit. We use this to keep the site running, diagnose problems, and understand roughly how much traffic the site receives.

Cookies and analytics

Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. We use Google Tag Manager to manage the measurement tags on this site, including analytics, which set cookies that help us see which pages are being read, which events people are interested in, and how visitors arrive. We look at this in aggregate, to decide what to put on the site. We do not use it to try to identify you personally.

You can control cookies through your browser settings, including refusing them or deleting ones already stored. Blocking cookies will not stop you using this site, though some embedded content may not behave as expected. Google also publishes a browser add-on that opts you out of Google Analytics across every site that uses it.

This site does not currently respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals, because there is still no agreed standard for what a website should do when it receives one.

Services we rely on

Parts of this site are provided by other companies, and using those parts means information passes through them. Each has its own privacy policy, which governs what they do with it:

• Basin receives and delivers the submissions from our newsletter and catering forms.
• Google provides the tag management and analytics described above.
• OpenTable powers the reservation widget on our reservations page. Booking a table there is handled by OpenTable under its own policy.
• Gumlet delivers the photographs on this site from its image network.
• Instagram supplies the embedded feed, and may set its own cookies when that content loads.
• Our gift card provider handles gift card purchases, which take place on their site rather than ours.
• Vercel hosts the site and keeps the server logs described above.

How we use your information

We use what we collect to:

• reply to your questions and plan the events you ask us about;
• send you our newsletter, if you asked for it;
• understand how the site is used so we can improve it;
• keep the site secure and prevent abuse of our forms; and
• meet our legal obligations.

How we share it

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with anyone for their own marketing. We share it with the service providers listed above, to the extent they need it to do their job for us, and we will disclose information where the law requires it or to protect the safety of our guests and staff.

Your choices

Every newsletter we send includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time. You can also contact us using the details below to:

• ask what information we hold about you, if any;
• ask us to correct anything that is wrong;
• ask us to delete it; and
• ask us to stop contacting you.

Depending on where you live, including for residents of Texas, you may have additional rights over your personal information under state law. Contact us at the address below and we will respond.

How long we keep it

We keep inquiry and event correspondence for as long as we need it to serve you and to keep records of our bookings, and newsletter subscriptions until you unsubscribe. You can ask us to delete your information sooner.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold, and the site is served over an encrypted connection. No website or method of transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security of anything sent over the internet.

Children

This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has sent us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Links to other websites

Our site links to places we do not operate, including social media, reservations, and gift cards. We are not responsible for their content or their privacy practices, and we encourage you to read the policy of any site you visit from ours.

Changes to this policy

If our practices change in a significant way, we will update this page and revise the effective date below.
