We always strive to protect your personal data in accordance with data protection laws and to ensure we comply with statutory regulations.

This Data Policy applies to all TBS applications, be it web-based via the Internet to end consumer products (PC, MAC) or via mobile applications and describes how, why and where we collect data and, where applicable, publish it and possibly disclose it to third parties

TBS, explicitly table-booking.com is a worldwide restaurant search engine with a real-time booking system with a combined Gourmet’s Community for all of those who like going out for a meal or drink and a restaurant guest management system with CMS. The software TBS is based on was developed by TBS meaning no data whatsoever (not even hidden) is disclosed to third party software providers.

COLLECTION AND USE OF DATA ON TBS

• 1) RESTAURANT INFORMATION
  All data regarding the restaurants published on table-booking.com (also descriptions, menus and pictures) are collected from generally accessible sources or passed on to TBS by the restaurant operator and published.

• 2) THE USER’S PERSONAL DATA
  The online table-booking system via the restaurant websites or “calendar apps” is linked directly to the web-based restaurant guest management of the individual restaurant and in the event of enquiries, automatically compares all booking details for each individual restaurant. This occurs either in addition to the common „reservation books in paper form“ or independent of them as a complete system
  for all received bookings, whether by telephone, personally, per online booking or enquiry. Guests can make an online booking as unregistered users, change these or cancel them and invite other guests to a meal by means of an e-card.

  When booking, the guest’s first name and surname, telephone or mobile number and email address are requested. TBS automatically passes this data on to the respective restaurant. If you are registered in the TBS community and register yourself, the registration data will
  be added to or changed in your TBS profile.

• 3) USER DATA
  You can also register as a TBS Gourmet’s Community member and simply log in to the portal with your user name and password to be
  able to send other members messages, upload or rate restaurants or write articles in the Gourmet’s World. With this user name and password, you can make a booking via table-booking.com in whatever restaurant you want. If you are a member of the TBS Gourmet’s Community, the data stated in your profile will be automatically passed on to the restaurant. When booking, messages can be written to the restaurant which are then automatically passed on to the restaurant.

  We do not use any data in a personified form, not even for the gathering of statistics for the restaurants or TBS. This includes data from which we can retrieve how often a guest has booked for how many people in which month or which websites he has visited.

  It is irrespective which data is collected in a restaurant; it is never disclosed to another restaurant unless a chain of restaurants or restaurants with the same owner are involved and he has explicitly requested the transfer of the data.

• 4) COMMUNITY DATA

He can change these settings at any time by clicking on “edit profile” and clicking the respective option in the boxes.
