Proof Urban Italian
Effective Date: 17th September 2025

At Proof, we like to keep things simple — good food, good company, and respect for your privacy. This page explains how we handle your personal information when you visit our website, make a booking, or get in touch with us.

Who We Are

We’re Proof Urban Italian, your neighbourhood trattoria with a modern twist.

We’re the “data controller” of the personal data we collect through our website, which means we decide how and why your data is used.

The Information We Collect

When you use our site, you may share:

  • Booking details – your name, contact info, party size, and reservation time (via OpenTable).

  • Contact form info – details you send us when you reach out with a question or request.

  • Technical data – like your IP address, browser type, and cookies when you browse our site.

How We Use Your Information

We only use your information when we have a clear reason to do so, such as:

  • Handling your table bookings and enquiries.

  • Making sure our website runs smoothly.

  • Meeting our legal obligations.

We don’t sell your data or use it for anything we wouldn’t be comfortable with ourselves.

Sharing Your Data

We work with a couple of trusted partners to keep things running:

  • OpenTable for reservations.

  • Website hosting and analytics providers that help us keep things secure and user-friendly.

They’ll only ever process your data in line with GDPR.

Your Rights

Under GDPR and the Irish Data Protection Act 2018, you have the right to:

  • See what data we hold about you.

  • Ask us to correct or delete your data.

  • Limit how we use your data.

  • Object to certain uses, including marketing.

  • Request your data in a portable format.

To exercise these rights, just drop us an email at 35thomas@proof-pizza.com.

If you’re not happy with how we’ve handled your data, you can also raise it with the Data Protection Commission at www.dataprotection.ie.

How Long Do We Keep Your Data

  • Booking info: usually up to 12 months.

  • Contact form enquiries: only as long as necessary to address your request.

  • Technical/cookie data: depends on your browser settings.

Keeping Your Data Safe

We use secure systems and limit access so your information stays protected.

Updates to This Policy

We reserve the right to update this policy from time to time. If we do, we’ll post the new version here with a fresh “effective date.”
