North Deering Tavern is committed to making our website usable by as many people as possible, including those with disabilities. We work to ensure our site is accessible and welcome feedback from anyone who experiences difficulty.

If you have trouble accessing any part of our website, or if you need information in an alternative format, please contact us directly. We will do our best to accommodate your needs promptly.

This Privacy Policy describes how North Deering Tavern collects, uses, and handles information when you visit our website or submit an inquiry.

Information We Collect

• Banquet inquiries: When you submit a banquet inquiry, we collect your name, phone number, event date, time slot, estimated guest count, and any notes you provide. We also record your IP address at the time of submission for spam prevention and rate limiting purposes. This information is stored securely with a third-party database provider and used solely to follow up on your inquiry and maintain the integrity of our submission system.
• Contact form submissions: When you use our contact form, your name, phone number, email address, and message are delivered to us via a third-party email service. This information is used only to respond to your inquiry and is not stored in a database.
• Site content: Information such as our menu, specials, events, and contact details is fetched from a third-party database provider each time you visit. This content describes the restaurant, not you, and is loaded fresh on each page request.
• Technical logs: Our third-party infrastructure providers may automatically log limited technical information such as IP addresses for standard security and reliability purposes. We do not use this information for tracking or marketing.

How We Use Your Information

• To respond to banquet inquiries and coordinate private event bookings
• To respond to general contact form submissions
• To prevent spam and abuse of our submission forms
• To deliver site content quickly and reliably

Data Retention

Banquet inquiry submissions — including IP address — are retained until we have responded and the inquiry is resolved or closed, after which they may be deleted. Contact form messages are not stored in a database — they are delivered by email and retained only in our email inbox. We do not keep personal data longer than necessary.

Information Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. Your inquiry data is stored with a third-party database provider solely for the purpose of delivering our services. Information may only be disclosed if required by law.

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal information we hold about you by contacting us directly at 207-878-3339.
