Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 29, 2026

This policy explains what information Wildwoods BBQ ("we", "us") collects when you visit wildwoodsbbq.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. It covers this website only. It does not cover online ordering, which is run by Toast, or our pages on Instagram, Yelp, Google and other sites, which have their own privacy policies.

1. Information you give us

When you send us an inquiry through the contact form, we collect your name, email address, phone number, the type of inquiry (for example, catering) and your message. We also have whatever you choose to tell us when you call or email us.

2. Information collected automatically

• Analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand how people use the site: which pages are visited, roughly where visitors are (city or region), what kind of device and browser they use, which site referred them, and whether they tap our Order, Call or Directions links or send an inquiry. Google Analytics does not log or store IP addresses. It does not receive anything you type into the contact form.
• Security and spam protection. The site is hosted by Cloudflare, which processes technical information such as your IP address and browser details to deliver pages and protect the site from attacks. The contact form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to check that a person, not a bot, is sending it.
• Embedded content. Our homepage includes a YouTube video and a Google Map. When they load, Google may collect information about your visit and set its own cookies, under Google's privacy policy.

3. How we use your information

• To answer your inquiry, including catering quotes and event bookings.
• To send you occasional emails about Wildwoods BBQ, such as specials, events and catering offers. Every one of these emails has an unsubscribe link, and you can also opt out by contacting us.
• To keep a record of inquiries we have received and answered.
• To understand how the site is used and make it better.
• To keep the site and the contact form secure and free of spam.
• To comply with the law and protect our rights.

We use your phone number only to respond to your inquiry. We do not send marketing text messages or make marketing calls unless you have separately agreed to receive them.

4. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with other companies for their own marketing or advertising. We share it only with:

• Service providers who run parts of the website for us: Cloudflare for hosting and security, Google for analytics, and the providers that store contact form inquiries and deliver our emails. They may use the information only to provide their service to us.
• Authorities when the law requires it, or when needed to protect the safety, rights or property of our guests, our staff or the public.
• A new owner if the restaurant is ever sold or transferred, in which case this policy continues to apply to information collected under it.

5. Cookies

Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. Wildwoods BBQ does not set any cookies of its own. The cookies on this site come from the services described above:

• Google Analytics (_ga and _ga_6R55VGCFEW) tells visits apart and counts returning visitors. These cookies last up to two years.
• YouTube and Google Maps may set cookies when the video or the map on our homepage loads.
• Cloudflare may use cookies or similar technical signals to protect the site and the contact form from bots.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and the site will still work. You can stop Google Analytics from collecting information about your visits with Google's opt-out browser add-on.

6. Do Not Track and tracking across sites

Some browsers can send a "Do Not Track" signal. There is no common standard for how sites should respond to it, so this site does not change its behavior when it receives one. Your cookie settings and the Google Analytics opt-out above still apply.

Google, through Google Analytics and the YouTube and Maps embeds, may collect information about your online activity over time and across different websites. Our pages also link to, and may preload, other sites such as Toast for online ordering, Instagram, Yelp and Google. Those companies handle information under their own privacy policies. We do not run advertising or advertising trackers on this site.

7. How long we keep information

We keep inquiries for as long as we need them to respond to you, to keep reasonable business records and to meet legal obligations, and then delete them. Google Analytics deletes visit-level data automatically after the retention period set in our account, which is no longer than 14 months.

8. Your choices and rights

You can ask us to show you the personal information we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it, and you can opt out of our emails at any time. Some states give residents these rights by law. We honor them for everyone, wherever you live. To make a request, contact us using the details below. We may need to confirm your identity before acting on it, and we will respond within 45 days.

9. Security

We use reasonable safeguards to protect the information we collect, and the site is served only over an encrypted connection. No website or email system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee that information will never be accessed without permission.

10. Children

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

11. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will post the new version on this page and update the effective date at the top. If a change materially affects how we use information we already have, we will make it clear on this page before the change takes effect.
