Privacy Policy

Placeholder notice: This policy is a starting template, not legal advice. Please have it reviewed by counsel and confirm every statement matches how Le Tesserae actually handles data before publishing.

Le Tesserae (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect when you visit our website or interact with us, why we collect it, how we use and share it, how long we keep it, and the choices and rights you have — including rights available to California residents.

1. Personal information we collect

Depending on how you use the site, we may collect:

• Contact & inquiry information — name, email address, phone number, and the contents of messages you send through our contact, event, or booking forms.
• Reservation information — details you provide when you make a reservation through our reservation partner.
• Newsletter information — your email address if you sign up for marketing emails.
• Payment information — if you make a payment, it is processed by a third-party payment processor; we do not store full card numbers on our servers.
• Technical & usage information — IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and similar data collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies (see our Cookie & Tracking Notice).

Sensitive personal information

We do not seek to collect “sensitive personal information” (as defined under California law — such as government identifiers, precise geolocation, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, health information, or contents of communications) beyond what may be incidentally provided to us, and we do not use or disclose it for purposes that would trigger a right to limit. If this changes, we will update this policy and offer a Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information option. [Confirm and adjust to match reality.]

2. Why we collect it

• To respond to inquiries and provide our services.
• To take and manage reservations and event bookings.
• To send marketing communications you have requested (you may opt out at any time).
• To operate, secure, and improve our website.
• To comply with legal obligations.

3. Where the information comes from

We collect information directly from you (for example, when you fill out a form), automatically through your use of the site, and from service providers who help us operate the site (for example, our reservation, email-marketing, and analytics providers).

4. Cookies, analytics, and third-party tools

We use cookies and similar technologies and rely on a number of third-party services. Tools that may be used on this site include website security (Google reCAPTCHA), a reservation widget, an email-marketing platform, embedded social media content (such as Instagram), mapping, and web fonts. For a fuller description — including how to opt out — see our Cookie & Tracking Notice.

5. How we share information

We may share personal information with:

• Service providers who perform functions on our behalf (reservations, payments, email marketing, hosting, analytics, security).
• Third parties whose tools are embedded on our site (for example, reservation, mapping, social-media, and security providers), which may receive data such as your IP address and device information.
• Legal and safety recipients when required by law or to protect rights, property, or safety.

We do not sell your personal information for money. Some uses of online tracking technologies may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under California law (see the California Privacy Notice). You can opt out using our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page.

6. How long we keep data

We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Retention periods vary by data type. [Confirm your actual retention periods.]

7. Your choices

• You can unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in any message.
• You can manage cookies through the Cookie Preferences tool and your browser settings.
• California residents have additional rights — see below.

8. California privacy rights

If you are a California resident, you may have the right to know, delete, correct, opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, limit the use of sensitive personal information, and not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. We honor opt-out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control (GPC): if your browser sends a GPC signal, we treat it as a valid request to opt out of the sale/sharing of your personal information for that browser and device. For full details see our California Privacy Notice.

How to submit a request. You can exercise your rights through two or more designated methods: (1) our online privacy request form, and (2) by email to privacy@letesserae.com. We verify requests as described in the California Privacy Notice, and you may use an authorized agent.

California “Shine the Light” (Civil Code § 1798.83): California residents may request information about disclosures of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, contact us at privacy@letesserae.com.

9. Children’s privacy

Our website is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. We do not sell or share the personal information of consumers we know to be under 16.

10. How to contact us
