Your Profile on Restaurants Info
When you register, subscribe to a service, or set up a business profile, we use the information you provide—such as your name, business name, and business location—to create a searchable profile on your behalf. This profile helps promote your business or profession.

We offer features allowing you to send invitations via Restaurants Info or email to connect with others. The names and email addresses of those you invite are used to send invitations and reminders, expanding your network.
When you invite someone to connect, they will see your email address. Your email address will also be accessible to your connections. You may only send invitations to individuals you know and trust.

By providing information for account creation, profile setup, or interaction with Restaurants Info services, you consent to our processing of this data and its availability to others where applicable.
