Security & data handling
Guest trust is not decoration.
Aplateful holds reservation records, dietary and health-related preferences and past orders. That means we hold personal data. Here is exactly how we treat it.
What is stored
- Reservation details: name, party size, contact channel, notes
- Dietary and allergy information marked at the highest priority
- Course orders, pairing choices, pacing notes
- Staff usage logs, per session, tied to individual accounts
Encryption
- TLS in transit for every request between our services and yours
- AES-256 at rest for guest records and health-related preferences
- Keys rotated on a scheduled cadence, with break-glass access logged
Retention
- Reservation records held while the guest is active with your restaurant
- Inactive records purged on your configured retention window
- Guest-initiated erasure requests actioned within a working week
Compliance posture
We are an early-stage service. We do not claim certifications we do not currently hold. What we do commit to: sensible defaults, clear retention, honest disclosure and a direct line to us for any incident. If your operations team needs specific evidence, write to us and we will share what is real, not marketing.
