Overview
Time Capsule Bar and Grill ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website at timecapsulebarandgrill.com. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our site.
We take your privacy seriously and are committed to being transparent about our practices. This policy applies to all visitors to our website.
Information We Collect
We collect minimal information to operate and improve our website:
- Anonymous Visit Count (no consent required): We increment a single running total of page loads. This records nothing whatsoever about you — no IP address, no device information, no identifier, and no cookie. It is one number, and there is no way to tie any part of it back to an individual visitor.
- Detailed Analytics (only with your permission): If you accept on our consent banner, we additionally collect page views, session duration, referral source, device type, and general geographic region (country/city level). If you decline, this is never loaded and none of it is collected.
- Browser Storage: We use your browser's localStorage to remember your preferences (such as cookie consent choice and menu display settings). This data stays on your device and is never transmitted to our servers.
- No Account Data: We do not require registration or collect personal identifying information from general visitors.
Analytics — Vercel Web Analytics
Our website uses Vercel Web Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. Vercel Analytics is designed to be privacy-friendly:
- It does not use cookies to track users.
- It does not track individuals across sessions or websites.
- Data collected includes: page views, referrer, browser type, operating system, and country-level location.
- No personal identifiers (name, email, IP address) are stored or linked to analytics data.

Cookies and Local Storage
Our website uses browser localStorage (not traditional cookies) to store your preferences locally on your device. This includes:
- Your cookie/analytics consent preference
- Cached menu and event data to improve page load speed
- Display preferences for the calendar and specials sections
This data is stored entirely on your device and is not transmitted to or accessible by our servers. You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings.
Detailed analytics are off until you opt in. The Vercel Web Analytics script is not loaded at all unless you choose "Accept" on our consent banner, so declining means that data is never collected — not merely hidden. You can change your choice at any time using the "Cookie Preferences" link in the footer.
Separately, we keep an anonymous tally of total page loads that runs for every visitor. It stores a single number and captures nothing about you individually, so it continues even if you decline. It sets no cookies and reads no information from your browser or device.
Third-Party Services
Our website integrates with the following third-party services. Each has its own privacy practices:
- Telephone ordering: Clicking a "Call to Order" button opens your device's phone app with our number pre-filled. We do not receive any information from your device unless you choose to place the call.
- Google Fonts: We load fonts from Google's servers. This may log your IP address per Google's Privacy Policy.
- Instagram: We link to our Instagram profile at @time_capsule_bar_and_grill. Instagram operates per Meta's Privacy Policy.
- Facebook: We link to our Facebook page. Facebook/Meta may collect data per their Privacy Policy.
- Vercel: Our website is hosted on Vercel. Vercel processes server logs and analytics data per their Privacy Policy.
Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA)
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your data:
- Right to Know: You can ask what data we collect about you.
- Right to Delete: You can request deletion of any data we hold about you.
- Right to Opt Out: Detailed analytics require your opt-in, and you can revisit the decision any time via the "Cookie Preferences" link in the site footer. The anonymous visit tally holds no personal data and therefore nothing that identifies you can be opted out of or deleted. You can also clear localStorage data through your browser settings at any time.
- Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.
Because we collect minimal data and do not maintain individual user accounts, most requests can be fulfilled simply by clearing your browser's local storage.
Data Retention
Analytics data collected via Vercel is retained according to Vercel's data retention policies. We do not maintain separate databases of personal visitor information. Browser localStorage data persists until you clear it or it is overwritten by a site update.
Children's Privacy
Our website is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us and we will promptly address it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. When we do, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page occasionally to stay informed about our practices.
