Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 25, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Sideworks (“Sideworks,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you use our restaurant operations platform and related websites (collectively, the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
Information you provide
We collect information you give us directly, including your name, email address, and account credentials when you register; your business and location details; and any content you create in the Service such as checklists, staff records, expenses, goals, documents, and guest feedback.
Information collected automatically
When you use the Service, we automatically collect usage data such as pages viewed, features used, device and browser type, and approximate location derived from your IP address. We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in and to understand how the Service is used.
Information from third parties
We receive limited information from our service providers, such as Stripe for payment processing and Supabase for authentication and data storage, in order to operate the Service.
How We Use Information
- To provide, maintain, and improve the Service.
- To create and manage your account and authenticate you.
- To process payments and manage subscriptions.
- To send transactional messages such as account notifications, welcome emails, and schedule alerts.
- To generate AI-assisted content and features you request.
- To monitor, secure, and troubleshoot the Service and prevent abuse.
- To comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.
How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as needed to run the Service:
- Service providers who process data on our behalf (hosting, database, email, payments, and analytics).
- Within your organization — data you create is scoped to your location and visible to authorized members of that location.
- Legal and safety — when required by law, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Sideworks, our users, or others.
- Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this Policy.
AI Features
Some features use third-party AI providers to generate content (for example, shift summaries or suggestions). Content you submit to these features may be processed by those providers solely to return a result to you. We do not use your data to train third-party models without your consent.
Data Retention
We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. We will delete or anonymize your information within a reasonable period after you close your account, unless we are required to retain it for legal, tax, or security reasons.
Security
We use industry-standard safeguards, including encryption in transit, access controls, and row-level security to isolate each location’s data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. You can update most account information directly in the Service, or contact us to exercise these rights. You may also opt out of non-essential emails using the unsubscribe link in those messages.
Children’s Privacy
The Service is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us so we can remove it.
International Users
We operate in the United States and may process your information there. By using the Service, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in countries with different data protection laws than your own.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, notify you through the Service.
