Privacy Policy

This page explains what information Ohana Belltown collects through this website, our loyalty program, and staff/customer accounts, and how it's used. It's written in plain language rather than dense legal boilerplate — if anything's unclear, contact us using the details at the bottom.

What we collect

If you create a customer account: your name, email address, and a password (stored as a one-way hash — we never see or store your actual password). If you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email, and a Google account identifier, not your Google password.

If you use the sushi punch card: your phone number, and your punch/reward history tied to it. If you submit a photo or social post for a bonus punch, we keep that photo or link along with your phone number and whatever note you include.

If you're a staff member: your name, username, an optional email address, and role — set up by an admin or by you from your account page.

Anonymous site analytics: we run our own basic, cookie-free analytics that count page visits per day (e.g. "the menu page was viewed 42 times on Tuesday"). This is aggregated traffic data, not tied to you individually, doesn't use third-party trackers or advertising cookies, and is automatically deleted after 120 days.

We do not collect or store credit card or payment information anywhere on this site. Online ordering is handled entirely by ChowNow, a separate company with its own privacy policy — we'd encourage reviewing theirs if you order through them.

How we use it

• To operate your account and the loyalty program (tracking punches, redeeming rewards).
• To let you sign in, reset a forgotten password, or verify your email.
• To review and approve bonus-punch photo/social submissions.
• To understand which pages people actually use, so we know what to improve.
• If you've given us an email or phone number, we may occasionally use it to reach you about your account or a submission you made — we don't sell or rent your information to anyone, and we don't currently send marketing email or text messages.

Who we share it with

We use a small number of outside services to run the site, each only for what they're named for:

• Google, Apple, and Facebook — only if you choose to sign in with one of them.
• ChowNow — if you place an online order, which happens entirely on their site, not ours.
• Microsoft Azure — our hosting provider, who stores the data described above on our behalf.

We don't share your information with advertisers or data brokers.

Your choices

You can deactivate your own customer account at any time from My Account, which immediately ends your session and blocks future logins. To have your data corrected or fully removed instead of just deactivated, or if you have any other privacy question, contact us using the information below.

Children's privacy

This site isn't directed at children, and we don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes in a meaningful way, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
