Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 4, 2026

TEKKOS ("TEKKOS", "we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our point-of-sale platform, online ordering system, delivery integrations, and related products and services (collectively, the "Services"). Our Services are primarily designed for restaurant businesses and their operators, though this policy also covers information we collect about end consumers who interact with our platform.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

We collect information you provide directly to us, including: your name, email address, phone number, business name, and billing information when you create an account or make a purchase. We also collect any communications you send to us, such as customer support requests or feedback.

Information Collected Automatically

When you use our Services, we automatically collect certain information, including: device information (such as your hardware model, operating system, and unique device identifiers), log information (such as access times, pages viewed, IP address, and the page you visited before navigating to our Services), and information collected through cookies and similar tracking technologies.

Information from Third Parties

We may receive information about you from third parties, such as payment processors, delivery platforms, and publicly available sources. When a restaurant connects third-party delivery services (such as Uber Eats, DoorDash, GrubHub, or Slice) through our platform, we may receive order details, customer names, delivery addresses, phone numbers, and payment transaction information from those services to facilitate order processing.

AI-Assisted Phone Orders

Our Services may include an AI-powered phone ordering system. When this feature is enabled by a restaurant, incoming phone calls may be recorded and processed by our AI system to take orders. Callers are informed at the beginning of the call that the call may be recorded. Call recordings and transcripts may be stored to fulfill orders, improve service accuracy, and resolve disputes.

2. How We Use Your Information

Service Delivery

We use the information we collect to provide, maintain, and improve our Services, including to process transactions, send you technical notices and support messages, respond to your comments and questions, and provide customer service.

Communications

We may use your information to send you marketing communications, such as information about products, services, and events offered by TEKKOS and others, that we think may be of interest to you. You may opt out of receiving marketing communications at any time.

Analytics and Improvement

We use aggregated and de-identified information to analyze trends, administer and improve our Services, and gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. This helps us understand how our Services are being used and how we can make them better.

Legal Compliance

We may use your information to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal processes, to protect the rights, privacy, safety, or property of TEKKOS, our users, or the public, and to detect, prevent, or address fraud, security, or technical issues.

3. How We Share Your Information

Service Providers

We share information with third-party vendors, consultants, and other service providers who perform services on our behalf. These may include payment processors, cloud hosting providers, email delivery services, and analytics tools.

Delivery Platforms

Our Services may integrate with third-party delivery platforms such as Uber Eats, DoorDash, GrubHub, and Slice. When a restaurant enables these integrations, we transmit menu data, order information, and related details to the connected platforms as necessary to fulfill delivery orders. Each delivery platform has its own privacy policy governing its use of this data.

Business Transfers

If TEKKOS is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice on our website of any change in ownership or uses of your information.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to a subpoena or court order, or if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to comply with the law, protect our rights, or protect the safety of our users or the public.

With Your Consent

We may share your information with third parties when you give us explicit consent to do so, such as when you authorize a third-party application to access your account.

4. Data Security

Security Measures

We take reasonable measures to help protect your information from loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include encryption of data in transit and at rest, access controls, and regular security assessments.

Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you Services. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Incident Response

In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you in accordance with applicable laws. We maintain incident response procedures to promptly address any security incidents.
