The owner may create anonymous, aggregated, or de-identified data from your Personal Information to analyse usage patterns and enhance our services.

Venue Data Sharing

When you make a reservation using our services, your Personal Information (e.g., name, email address, phone number) is shared with the applicable venue to facilitate your booking.

We store your tokenised payment method to a verified identifier, such as your phone number—strictly for convenience, to enable quicker transactions on your next order or visit. You may request the removal of your stored card details at any time by contacting us, and we will action your request promptly.

Connected Review Platforms (Google Business Profile and Facebook)

This section applies to restaurants and other business customers who choose to connect their Google Business Profile to the WizButler Reputation module. It explains what information WizButler receives from Google, how we use and protect it, how long we keep it, and how you can disconnect your venue at any time. Connecting is optional; WizButler only accesses your Google Business Profile after an authorised person at your business signs in with Google and grants permission.

Information we access from Google

When you connect, WizButler requests the Google permission to manage your Business Profile (the business.manage scope) and uses it to access:

  • Your Google account identity: the name and email address of the Google account used to connect, so we can show which account is connected (for example, “Signed in as …”).
  • Your business locations: the Business Profile accounts and locations you manage, including each location’s name, address and identifier, so you can choose which locations to connect.
  • Reviews of your connected locations: each review’s star rating, text, date, the reviewer’s public display name and profile photo as shown on Google, and any owner replies already posted.

We do not access your Google email, contacts, calendar, files or any Google data unrelated to your connected Business Profile locations.

How we use this information

We use information received from Google only to provide and improve the Reputation features you have chosen to use, namely to:

  • show your Google reviews alongside your WizButler guest feedback in one place;
  • analyse reviews to highlight sentiment, topics and reviews that may need urgent attention, and to alert the staff you nominate;
  • help your staff write replies, including AI-suggested draft replies that a person at your business always reviews and sends — WizButler never posts a reply automatically;
  • post the replies your staff send to your Google Business Profile; and
  • show rating, review and response statistics for your own business.

To provide the analysis and draft-reply features, review content is processed by our service providers, including our cloud hosting provider and our AI provider, solely on our behalf and under contracts that prohibit them from using it for any other purpose, including training their own models.

What we do not do

  • We do not sell information received from Google.
  • We do not use it for advertising, including personalised, retargeted or interest-based advertising.
  • We do not use it to train, develop or improve generalised artificial-intelligence or machine-learning models.
  • We do not share it with other WizButler customers or transfer it to third parties, except the service providers described above, or where required by law.
  • WizButler staff do not read your Google data unless you ask us to (for example, for support), it is necessary for security or to investigate abuse, or it is required by law.

How we store and protect it

  • Information received from Google is stored on Google Cloud infrastructure in the region that hosts your WizButler account.
  • Google access tokens are encrypted and held in a dedicated secrets store, separate from your other data, and are never exposed to web browsers.
  • All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and access is restricted to the systems and authorised personnel that need it to run the service.

How long we keep it

  • While a location is connected, we keep its reviews and replies so you can see your review history, trends and response performance.
  • When you disconnect, we revoke and delete the Google access tokens immediately and stop importing new reviews.
  • Reviews and replies imported from Google are deleted within 30 days of disconnecting, unless you reconnect within that period.
  • We may keep aggregated statistics that do not include review text or reviewer details (for example, your average rating for a past month) as part of your business’s reporting history.

How to disconnect or revoke access

  • In WizButler, go to Reputation › Platforms, choose Google and select Disconnect.
  • You can also remove WizButler’s access at any time from your Google Account at myaccount.google.com/permissions. WizButler will stop accessing your Business Profile and treat the connection as disconnected.
  • To ask us to delete imported Google data sooner, contact us at mail@wizbutler.com level 17, 300 Barangaroo Avenue, Barangaroo NSW 2000, Australia. We respond within one month, as described in “How to Exercise These Rights”.

Google API Services User Data Policy

WizButler’s use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Facebook Pages

Restaurants and other business customers may also connect their Facebook Page to the WizButler Reputation module. WizButler only accesses a Page after an authorised person at your business signs in with Facebook, chooses the Page(s) to connect and grants permission.

Information we access from Facebook

  • The connecting person’s Facebook identity: their name and Facebook user id, so we can show which account connected the Page.
  • Your Pages: the Pages you manage and choose to connect, including each Page’s name, id and profile picture.
  • Recommendations and reviews of connected Pages: whether the person recommends your business (or the rating, for older reviews), the review text, its date, the reviewer’s public name as shown on Facebook, and comments or replies already posted on it.

We do not access your personal Facebook profile, friends, messages, posts unrelated to reviews, or any Page you have not chosen to connect.

How we use it

The same way as Google reviews (see “How we use this information” above): to show your Facebook reviews alongside your other feedback, analyse them, alert the staff you nominate, help your staff write replies (a person always reviews and sends every reply — WizButler never posts automatically), post the replies your staff send to your Page, and show statistics for your own business. The restrictions in “What we do not do” and the protections in “How we store and protect it” above apply to Facebook data in the same way.

How long we keep it and how to disconnect

  • While a Page is connected, we keep its reviews and replies so you can see your review history and response performance.
  • When you disconnect, we revoke and delete the Facebook access tokens immediately and stop importing new reviews.
  • Reviews and replies imported from Facebook are deleted within [CONFIRM: same retention as Google — 30 days]30 days of disconnecting, unless you reconnect within that period.
  • To disconnect: in WizButler go to Reputation › Platforms, choose Facebook and select Disconnect. You can also remove WizButler from your Facebook account under Settings & privacy › Settings › Business integrations.

Data deletion requests

To have WizButler delete the information it received from Facebook (or Google) for your business, disconnect the platform as described above, or email us at support@resbutler.com [CONFIRM: support address] with your business name and the Page or Business Profile concerned. We confirm deletion within one month, as described in “How to exercise these rights”.

Meta Platform Terms

WizButler’s use of information received from Meta complies with the Meta Platform Terms and Developer Policies.

Sharing of Your Data

We value your privacy and do not sell your personal information. We share your personal information only as described in this policy — for example, with the venue you book, our service providers and payment processors, and where required or authorised by law. Any sharing of your information for advertising purposes is based on your consent, and you can opt out at any time.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Processing

WizButler’s Reputation features use artificial intelligence to help restaurants understand and respond to guest feedback. This section explains what is processed, by whom and where.

What the AI does

  • Analyses feedback: reads guest survey comments and reviews from connected platforms to identify sentiment, topics (for example food, service or wait time), dishes or staff mentioned, and issues that may need urgent attention (for example an allergy or illness report).
  • Suggests draft replies: drafts a reply that a person at the restaurant reviews, edits and sends. The AI never sends replies itself.
  • AI results help staff prioritise and respond; they are not used to make decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on guests.

What information is used

  • For analysis: the feedback or review text, its ratings and the type of visit (for example dine-in or takeaway). We do not send guests’ names, email addresses, phone numbers or customer ids for analysis, and we remove email addresses and phone numbers that guests type into their comments before the text is sent.
  • For draft replies to a guest’s own feedback by private message, the draft may use limited visit details (such as the guest’s first name and visit date) so the reply is personal. Draft replies for public review sites never include personal details.

Our AI service provider and overseas processing

The AI processing is performed by Anthropic, PBC, acting as our service provider. The information is processed in the United States [CONFIRM: processing location per the Anthropic DPA]. Under our agreement with Anthropic:

  • Anthropic may not use the information to train its AI models;
  • Anthropic processes it only to provide the service to us, under its Data Processing Addendum; and
  • Anthropic retains it only for a limited period [CONFIRM: retention — default period, or “does not retain it” if Zero Data Retention is arranged] before deletion.

We take reasonable steps, including these contractual protections, to ensure overseas recipients handle personal information consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles, and we remain accountable for that information. For guests in the United Kingdom or European Union, transfers are covered by the safeguards in Anthropic’s Data Processing Addendum.

Your choices

  • Restaurants choose whether to use the Reputation features [CONFIRM: whether a restaurant can switch AI analysis / drafts off separately].
  • Guests can ask a restaurant, or us, for access to or correction of their feedback, as described in “The rights of Users”.

Mode and place of processing the Data

Methods of processing

The Owner takes appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorised access, disclosure, modification, or unauthorised destruction of the Data. The Data processing is carried out using computers and/or IT enabled tools, following organisational procedures and modes strictly related to the purposes indicated. If a data breach occurs that is likely to result in serious harm, we will notify the affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) as required by the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.

In addition to the Owner, in some cases, the Data may be accessible to certain types of persons in charge, involved with the operation of this Application (administration, sales, marketing, legal, system administration) or external parties (such as third-party technical service providers, mail carriers, hosting providers, IT companies, communications agencies) appointed, if necessary, as Data Processors by the Owner. The updated list of these parties may be requested from the Owner at any time.

Legal basis of processing

The Owner may process Personal Data relating to Users if one of the following applies:

  • Users have given their consent for one or more specific purposes. Note: Under some legislations the Owner may be allowed to process Personal Data until the User objects to such processing (“opt-out”), without having to rely on consent or any other of the following legal bases. This, however, does not apply, whenever the processing of Personal Data is subject to European data protection law;
  • provision of Data is necessary for the performance of an agreement with the User and/or for any pre-contractual obligations thereof;
  • processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the Owner is subject;
  • processing is related to a task that is carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the Owner;
  • processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Owner or by a third party.

In any case, the Owner will gladly help to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing, and in particular whether the provision of Personal Data is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract.

Place

The Data is processed at the Owner’s operating offices and in any other places where the parties involved in the processing are located.

Depending on the User’s location, data transfers may involve transferring the User’s Data to a country other than their own. To find out more about the place of processing of such transferred Data, Users can check the section containing details about the processing of Personal Data. We may disclose your personal information to recipients located overseas, including in the United States and the European Union, where some of our service providers and payment processors operate. Before disclosing your personal information overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure the overseas recipient handles it consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles.

Users are also entitled to learn about the legal basis of Data transfers to a country outside the European Union or to any international organisation governed by public international law or set up by two or more countries, such as the UN, and about the security measures taken by the Owner to safeguard their Data.

If any such transfer takes place, Users can find out more by checking the relevant sections of this document or inquire with the Owner using the information provided in the contact section.

Retention time

We keep personal data only for as long as we need it for the purpose for which it was collected, and then delete or de-identify it. Specific periods apply:

Transaction records, including the fee charged, the rate applied, the channel and the payment method, are retained for seven years, because they are company financial records under section 286 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

Booking and order history is retained for seven years for the same reason.

Marketing preferences are retained until you withdraw your consent, and a suppression record is retained after that so we do not contact you again.

Website, device and system log data is retained for 24 months.

After six years, being the general limitation period for consumer claims, we remove or pseudonymise direct identifiers from transaction records where we no longer need them.

Therefore:

  • Personal Data collected for purposes related to the performance of a contract between the Owner and the User shall be retained until such contract has been fully performed.
  • Personal Data collected for the purposes of the Owner’s legitimate interests shall be retained as long as needed to fulfill such purposes. Users may find specific information regarding the legitimate interests pursued by the Owner within the relevant sections of this document or by contacting the Owner.

The Owner may be allowed to retain Personal Data for a longer period whenever the User has given consent to such processing, as long as such consent is not withdrawn. Furthermore, the Owner may be obliged to retain Personal Data for a longer period whenever required to do so for the performance of a legal obligation or upon order of an authority.

Once the retention period expires, Personal Data shall be deleted. Therefore, the right to access, the right to erasure, the right to rectification and the right to data portability cannot be enforced after expiration of the retention period.

The rights of Users

Users may exercise certain rights regarding their Data processed by the Owner.

In particular, Users have the right to do the following:

  • Withdraw their consent at any time. Users have the right to withdraw consent where they have previously given their consent to the processing of their Personal Data.
  • Object to processing of their Data. Users have the right to object to the processing of their Data if the processing is carried out on a legal basis other than consent. Further details are provided in the dedicated section below.
  • Access their Data. Users have the right to learn if Data is being processed by the Owner, obtain disclosure regarding certain aspects of the processing and obtain a copy of the Data undergoing processing.
  • Verify and seek rectification. Users have the right to verify the accuracy of their Data and ask for it to be updated or corrected.
  • Restrict the processing of their Data. Users have the right, under certain circumstances, to restrict the processing of their Data. In this case, the Owner will not process their Data for any purpose other than storing it.
  • Have their Personal Data deleted or otherwise removed. Users have the right, under certain circumstances, to obtain the erasure of their Data from the Owner.
  • Receive their Data and have it transferred to another controller. Users have the right to receive their Data in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format and, if technically feasible, to have it transmitted to another controller without any hindrance. This provision is applicable provided that the Data is processed by automated means and that the processing is based on the User’s consent, on a contract which the User is part of or on pre-contractual obligations thereof.

Lodge a complaint. You may complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au. If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you may also complain to your local supervisory authority or to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.

Details about the right to object to processing

Where Personal Data is processed for a public interest, in the exercise of an official authority vested in the Owner or for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Owner, Users may object to such processing by providing a ground related to their particular situation to justify the objection.

Users must know that, however, should their Personal Data be processed for direct marketing purposes, they can object to that processing at any time without providing any justification. To learn, whether the Owner is processing Personal Data for direct marketing purposes, Users may refer to the relevant sections of this document.

How to exercise these rights

Any requests to exercise User rights can be directed to the Owner through the contact details provided in this document. These requests can be exercised free of charge and will be addressed by the Owner as early as possible and always within one month. If you wish to make a privacy complaint, please contact the Owner using the details in this document. We will investigate and respond to your complaint. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at www.oaic.gov.au.
