Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 13, 2026

Bloomin' Bagels of Shamokin Dam ("we," "us," or "our") is a local bagel shop located in Shamokin Dam, Pennsylvania. We specialize in made from scratch, boiled, and freshly baked bagels, along with sandwiches, salads, coffee, and more. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling any personal information responsibly and transparently.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with (if anyone), and your choices.

1. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information needed to serve great bagels and run our shop safely:

Information you provide directly:

Name (for loyalty/rewards sign-up, special orders, catering, or holding a pick-up order)
Phone number (for order updates, confirmations, or contact)
Email address (for newsletters, promotions, or receipts if requested)
Delivery/pick-up address (only for large catering orders or if using delivery services)
Payment information (processed securely via our point-of-sale system; we do not store full credit/debit card numbers)
Order preferences and notes (e.g., favorite bagels, cream cheese choices, allergy information you voluntarily share)

Information collected automatically:

If you visit any future website or online ordering page: basic data like IP address, browser type, and pages viewed (via standard tools)
In-store security camera footage (video only, for safety, theft prevention, and loss prevention — footage is typically retained for a short period)

From third parties:

If you order through apps like Uber Eats, DoorDash, or similar, we receive order details from those platforms
Payment processors (e.g., Square, Toast, or similar) handle transactions securely

We do not collect sensitive personal data like Social Security numbers, precise location tracking, health records (beyond voluntary allergy notes), or anything unnecessary.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information solely to:

Prepare, fulfill, and deliver your orders (in-store, phone, or via third-party apps)
Manage our loyalty or rewards program (if offered)
Send occasional promotions, new menu items, or event updates (only if you opt in)
Communicate about your order, respond to questions, or handle feedback
Process payments securely
Prevent fraud, theft, or safety issues (e.g., reviewing camera footage if needed)
Comply with legal requirements (tax records, food safety, etc.)
Improve our service and menu based on general trends (not individual tracking)

3. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information to marketers or third parties.

We share information only when necessary:

With trusted service providers that help operate the business (payment processors, delivery platforms, email/text services if used)
With third-party delivery services if you place an order through them
To comply with laws, subpoenas, or protect our rights/safety
In the rare case of a business sale or transfer (not currently applicable)

4. Data Retention

We keep information only as long as reasonably needed:

Loyalty/rewards accounts — while active + up to 12 months after last visit
Order and payment records — typically 1–3 years (for accounting, taxes, or allergy follow-up)
Camera footage — usually 30–90 days (then overwritten)
Marketing lists — until you unsubscribe

5. Your Choices & Rights

Opt out of marketing — Unsubscribe from emails (via link) or texts (reply STOP) anytime.
Delete or access your info — Ask us to review, correct, or delete what we hold about you (some records like tax-related orders may need to be retained).
We do not sell or share personal data in ways requiring opt-out notices under laws like CCPA/CPRA for small businesses like ours.
Pennsylvania residents: We comply with applicable state privacy laws. Contact us for any concerns.

6. Security

We use reasonable safeguards for a small business (secure payment systems, limited staff access, etc.). While no method is 100% secure, we follow standard practices to protect your data.

7. Children's Privacy

Our shop and services are not aimed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally (e.g., if we add online ordering). Check back here — we'll note the updated date.
