Effective Date: May 15, 2026
Beth's Cafe LLC, operating as Beth's Cafe and located at 7311 Aurora Ave N, Seattle, WA 98103 ("Beth's," "we," "us," or "our"), respects your privacy.

SMS Text Messaging
When you call Beth's Cafe at 206-782-5588 and the call is unanswered, you may receive an automated text message from us in response. By voluntarily calling our publicly published phone number, you provide implied consent to receive a direct SMS reply at that same phone number. Our text replies are strictly customer service in nature and provide information you have requested or are likely to find useful (hours, menu, parking, reservations, catering, etc.). We do not send promotional or marketing SMS under this service.
Standard message and data rates from your mobile carrier may apply. We send messages through a third-party SMS service provider that processes message contents on our behalf for delivery purposes only.
To opt out of SMS communications at any time, reply STOP, UNSUBSCRIBE, END, QUIT, or CANCEL to any message we send. You will receive a final confirmation message and will not receive further SMS from us. To opt back in later, simply call our business number again.
Sharing Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with:
- Service providers who help us operate the business (SMS service provider, website host Popmenu, point-of-sale and gift card provider Toast, analytics providers). These providers are contractually limited to using your information only to perform services for us.
- Legal authorities when required by law, subpoena, or to protect our rights or the safety of others.
Data Retention
We retain phone numbers and SMS conversation records only as long as needed to provide the service and comply with legal obligations. Inactive conversation records are deleted within 18 months unless retention is required for a legitimate business reason.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Request access to the personal information we have about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your information
- Opt out of communications (see SMS opt-out instructions above)
