Privacy Policy

Pete’s Fish & Chips, Inc.

Effective Date: August 27, 2026

Pete’s Fish & Chips, Inc. (“Pete’s,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and otherwise handle personal information in connection with our website at www.petesfishandchips.com (the “Site”). The Site is primarily an informational website where you can learn about our restaurants, menus, history, and locations and contact us. You may also have the option to sign up to receive news and updates from Pete’s.

We do not currently use the Site to accept restaurant orders, reservations, payments, job applications, or account registrations. Our restaurants currently operate on a cash-only basis.

1. Information You Provide to Us

Contacting Us

If you contact us through the Site, we collect the information you choose to provide. Our contact form may request information such as:

  • first and last name;

  • email address;

  • subject of your inquiry; and

  • the message or other information you submit.

We use this information to respond to your inquiry, communicate with you, and maintain appropriate records of our communications.

News and Updates

The contact form may also give you the option to sign up to receive news, promotions, and other updates from Pete’s. If you affirmatively select this option, we may use your email address to send these communications. Signing up is optional. If you do not opt in, submitting a contact form will not, by itself, enroll you in our marketing communications. You can unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time as described in Section 8 below.

Sensitive Information

Please do not provide sensitive personal information through the Site unless we specifically request it. For example, we do not need financial account information, Social Security or other government identification numbers, health information, or similar sensitive information to respond to a general inquiry.

  • referring website or source;

  • dates and times of visits; and

  • information relating to Site performance, security, and errors.

Depending on applicable law and the circumstances, some of this information may be considered personal information. We use this information to operate, maintain, protect, and improve the Site, understand how visitors interact with it, identify general traffic patterns, and diagnose technical or security issues.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Site is hosted by Squarespace. Squarespace uses cookies and similar technologies to provide and secure the Site and, depending on our configuration and your cookie preferences, to provide analytics and performance information. These technologies generally fall into the following categories:

Necessary Cookies. These cookies support functions necessary for the Site to operate properly or securely. They may be placed automatically and generally cannot be disabled through the Site's cookie controls.

Analytics and Performance Cookies. These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Site, such as the number of visitors, pages viewed, traffic sources, and Site interactions. Where our cookie settings require consent, these cookies will not be activated unless you permit them.

When available, the Site's cookie banner may allow you to accept, decline, or manage non-essential cookies. You may also adjust or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain technologies may affect the availability or functionality of portions of the Site. The specific cookies and technologies used by Squarespace may change as its platform and services evolve. We do not currently use the Site for behavioral advertising, advertising retargeting, or to create advertising profiles about visitors.

4. Service Providers and Third-Party Services

We use third parties to help us operate the Site and communicate with visitors. Depending on how the Site is configured, these may include:

Squarespace. Squarespace provides our website platform and related services, which may include hosting, content delivery, security, form processing, analytics, and technical or error monitoring. Squarespace may process information on our behalf to provide these services and may also process certain information for its own purposes in accordance with its privacy practices.

Email Marketing Provider. If you sign up for news and updates, your email address may be processed by Squarespace Email Campaigns for purposes of managing our mailing list and delivering communications.

We authorize service providers acting on our behalf to process personal information as reasonably necessary to provide services to us, subject to applicable contractual and legal requirements. The Site may also contain or display content or functionality provided by third parties, such as maps, fonts, videos, or other embedded resources. Those providers may receive information about your browser, device, or interaction with their content.

5. Social Media and External Links

The Site may contain links to Pete’s pages or accounts on social media platforms and other third-party websites. If you select one of these links, you will leave our Site and interact directly with the applicable third party. That third party's collection and use of information are governed by its own privacy policy and terms. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the privacy, security, or other practices of third-party websites, platforms, or services.

6. How We Use Personal Information

We may use personal information collected through or in connection with the Site to:

  • provide, operate, maintain, and secure the Site;

  • respond to questions, comments, or other communications;

  • provide information you request;

  • send news, promotions, and updates when you have chosen to receive them;

  • administer our mailing lists and communication preferences;

  • understand Site traffic, performance, and usage;

  • identify, investigate, prevent, or address technical, security, or fraudulent activity;

  • maintain appropriate business records;

  • protect our rights, property, safety, and the rights, property, or safety of others;

  • comply with applicable laws, regulations, court orders, and lawful governmental requests; and

  • establish, exercise, or defend legal rights and claims.

7. How We Disclose Personal Information

We may disclose personal information:

  • to service providers that perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, communications, analytics, security, and data storage;

  • to professional advisers, such as attorneys, accountants, insurers, or consultants, where reasonably necessary;

  • for legal or safety purposes, including where required by law, subpoena, court order, or other legal process, or where reasonably necessary to protect rights, property, security, or safety;

  • in connection with a business transaction, such as an actual or proposed merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar corporate transaction; or

  • with your direction or consent, where appropriate.

Sale and Targeted Advertising

We do not sell personal information collected through the Site.

We also do not share personal information collected through the Site for cross-context behavioral advertising or otherwise use that information for targeted advertising as those terms are defined under applicable privacy laws.

8. Your Choices and Privacy Rights

Email Communications

If you sign up to receive news or promotional updates from us, you may unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in those communications or by contacting us. After you unsubscribe, we may retain limited information necessary to record and honor your opt-out preference. Unsubscribing from promotional communications will not prevent us from responding to an inquiry or sending other non-promotional communications you request.

Cookies

You may manage available cookie preferences through the Site's cookie controls and through your browser settings, as described in Section 3. Because we do not currently sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, we do not currently engage in the activities for which Global Privacy Control and similar browser-based opt-out mechanisms are principally designed to provide an opt-out.

Privacy Rights

Depending on where you reside and whether an applicable privacy law applies to Pete’s or to the particular processing activity, you may have certain rights concerning your personal information. These may include rights to:

  • request access to or information about personal information we maintain about you;

  • request correction of inaccurate personal information;

  • request deletion of personal information; and

  • exercise other privacy rights available under applicable law.

To submit a privacy request, contact us using the information in Section 12. We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests. We will process valid requests and will not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights as required by applicable law.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide requested communications, maintain appropriate business records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. For example:

  • contact-form information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to the inquiry and maintain an appropriate record of the communication;

  • mailing-list information may be retained while you remain subscribed to our communications; and

  • if you unsubscribe, we may retain limited information necessary to document and honor your opt-out request.

Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information, the purpose for which it was collected, and applicable legal or business requirements.

10. Information Security

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure, taking into account the nature of the information and our operations. We also rely on security measures maintained by the service providers that operate portions of the Site. However, no website, Internet transmission, or information-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or through the Site.

11. Children’s Privacy

The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. If you believe that a child under 13 has provided personal information to us through the Site, please contact us using the information below so that we can take appropriate steps to address the information.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes to our practices, the Site, our service providers, or applicable legal requirements. When we update this Privacy Policy, we will revise the Effective Date at the top of the Policy. If appropriate, we may provide additional notice of material changes through the Site or another reasonable method.
