Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

Who We Are

This Privacy Policy explains how Guma Bar Restaurant ("Guma", "we", "us") handles information when you visit our website or use our booking form. Guma Bar Restaurant is located at Rruga Jonianet, Sarandë, Albania. You can reach us at 069 931 6303 or via WhatsApp.

Information We Collect

Our website is largely informational — you can browse our menu, gallery, and story without providing any personal information. The only place we collect information directly is our reservation form on the Contact page, where we ask for:

• Your name
• Your phone number
• Number of guests
• Requested date and time
• Any optional notes you add (e.g. dietary requirements, special occasions)

This form does not submit data to a server or database we control. When you press "Send via WhatsApp", your browser opens WhatsApp with a pre-filled message containing the details above, addressed to our restaurant's WhatsApp number. The message is sent, stored, and processed the same way any other WhatsApp message is — subject to WhatsApp's own Privacy Policy, since WhatsApp is operated by Meta Platforms, Inc.

Third-Party Services

Our website uses a small number of third-party services to function properly:

• WhatsApp — for reservation requests and direct messaging, as described above.
• Google Maps — embedded on our Contact page to show our location. Google may set its own cookies when the map loads; see Google's Privacy Policy.
• Google Fonts — used to load the typefaces on this site. Loading a font may involve a request to Google's servers.
• Instagram — our Gallery page links out to Instagram posts. Instagram (Meta Platforms, Inc.) has its own privacy practices, covered by its own policy.

We don't control how these third parties process data, and we encourage you to review their respective privacy policies if you have concerns.

Cookies

This website does not set its own tracking or analytics cookies. Some of the third-party services above (particularly the embedded Google Map) may set cookies in your browser as part of their normal operation. You can control or clear cookies through your browser settings at any time.

Data Retention

We do not maintain a database of reservation requests submitted through our website — each request is simply a WhatsApp message sent to our restaurant's number, retained according to WhatsApp's own retention practices and your own device settings.

Your Rights

Under Albanian Law No. 124/2024 "On the Protection of Personal Data", you have the right to:

• Ask what personal data we hold about you
• Ask us to correct inaccurate data
• Ask us to delete data we hold about you
• Object to how your data is processed

To exercise any of these rights regarding a reservation you've sent us, simply contact us directly via WhatsApp or phone and we'll assist you.

Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
