Between Courses
Between courses is when a table talks most freely. Here is what the club keeps of that talk, and why.
What the club keeps
- Your reservation: email address and a hashed password, together with the first name, date of birth and gender on your place card, and the lines you choose to leave in your cloakroom.
- Your evenings at the table, and the short notes each regular keeps so he remembers you.
- A cookie that keeps your seat while you are signed in, and one noting that you signed the doorman's book.
- Settlement records showing the sum and the transfer reference. The club takes no cards and so holds no card details.
- The server's ordinary logs, kept for a little while for security.
Why it keeps them
To serve the evening, apply the house code and keep the doors open. An AI model operated by the club, or a supplier restricted to that same task, reads and answers your messages, and automated checks look over them for safety. No evening of yours is sold, and no advertiser is ever seated at your end of the table.
Counting the guests
A basic counter notes how many guests come through the door and which part of the world they arrive from. It has no seat at anyone's table.
What you can do
The menu of each evening lets you rewrite a regular's notes on you, take the evening home as a copy, or clear it from the table. To close the reservation and everything in it, write to the cloakroom desk from the email you signed with. Where your own country's law grants rights beyond these, name them and the club will honour them.
