Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

El Jalisco is a family-owned Mexican restaurant located at 107 College Park Plaza, Johnstown, PA 15904. We are the data controller for this website — meaning we are the business responsible for how visitor information is collected and used here.

This website is designed and maintained on our behalf by Young Web Co., a local web design business (youngwebco.com). Young Web Co. acts as a data processor in this arrangement — they have technical access to this website for maintenance and updates, but they do not use any visitor data collected here for their own purposes. Technical questions about this website may be directed to Young Web Co. at hello@youngwebco.com. Privacy and data questions should be directed to El Jalisco using the contact information in Section 11.

2. What information we collect

We collect information only when you voluntarily submit it. Through this website we may collect:

• Your name
• Your phone number or email address
• Any message or question you send us through a contact form

We do not collect payment information through this website. We do not run advertising scripts, behavioral tracking, or analytics on this site. We do not use tracking cookies. Standard web server logs (IP addresses, page requests, browser types) are collected automatically by our hosting provider, Cloudflare, as part of normal operations — we do not directly access or control these logs.

3. How we use your information

Any information you submit through this website is used solely to:

• Respond to your question, request, or inquiry
• Follow up on reservations, catering inquiries, or other matters you contact us about

We will not add you to any mailing list, contact you for unrelated purposes, or share your information with third parties for marketing. We will not contact you more than twice after an initial inquiry if you have not responded.

4. Google Maps

This website includes an embedded Google Map to help you find our restaurant. This map is provided by Google LLC. When you view or interact with the embedded map, Google may collect information about your visit — including your IP address and location data — in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.

We do not control, access, or receive any data that Google collects through the map embed. If you prefer not to interact with the Google Map, you can instead use the address below to find us in your preferred maps application:

5. How we store and protect your information

Contact form submissions on this website are processed by Web3Forms (web3forms.com) and delivered to our email inbox. Web3Forms does not permanently store submission data beyond the delivery process. You can review Web3Forms' privacy practices at web3forms.com/privacy.

Messages received are stored in our email system and retained for up to 2 years for business purposes, after which they may be deleted.

This website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages, which provides HTTPS encryption, DDoS protection, and enterprise-grade security. All data transmitted between your browser and this website is encrypted in transit.

We take reasonable precautions to protect your information. However, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security against circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

6. Who we share your information with

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Your information passes through the following services only as necessary to operate this website:

• Web3Forms — processes contact form submissions (privacy policy)
• Cloudflare — hosts and secures this website (privacy policy)
• Google — powers the embedded map on this site (privacy policy)
• Young Web Co. — our web designer and site maintainer, who has technical access to this website for upkeep and updates only

Each of these services is an independent third party with its own privacy practices. El Jalisco is not responsible for the data practices of these third-party services.

7. Do Not Track

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal to websites. Because this website does not use behavioral tracking cookies or advertising scripts, your browsing activity here is not tracked regardless of your DNT setting. We honor the intent of DNT by design.

8. Your rights

You have the right to:

• Access — request a copy of any personal information we hold about you
• Correct — request that inaccurate information be corrected
• Delete — request that we delete your personal information from our records
• Opt out — opt out of any follow-up communication at any time by replying "stop" to any message from us

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information in Section 11. We will respond within 30 days at no charge.

9. Children's privacy

This website is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has submitted personal information through this site, please contact us immediately and we will delete it promptly.

10. California residents (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) grants you additional rights, including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to request deletion, and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information. To submit a CCPA request, contact us using the information in Section 11. We will respond within 45 days as required by law.

11. Contact us

For privacy questions, data requests, or concerns about how we handle your information, please contact El Jalisco directly. For technical questions about this website, contact our web designer, Young Web Co.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Your continued use of this website after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
