What is your information used for?

Baloci processes your personal data in the following ways, and on the following legal bases:

• To send you a confirmation email or confirmation text message to verify and confirm your reservation, and gift voucher purchases. Please note, this is necessary so that Baloci can process its commitment to you (confirm your reservations, and provide you with details about your purchased gift voucher). It is also helpful when providing Baloci’s guests with a smooth and high-quality service, before even arriving at the restaurant.
• To improve your experience with Baloci, both online (via the website) and in person at our restaurant. This is our priority and in the very best interest of our guests.
