Overview
Sobremesa respects your right to privacy. This policy summarizes what personally identifiable information we may collect, and how we might use this information. This policy also describes other important topics relating to your privacy.
This Privacy Policy (this ‘Policy’) describes how Sobremesa protects your privacy when we collect personal information on the Sobremesa website. As used in this Policy, the term ‘personal information’ refers to information that identifies you personally, alone or in combination with other information available to us.
It is Sobremesa’s policy to comply with all applicable privacy and data protection laws. This commitment reflects the value we place on earning and keeping the trust of our employees, customers, business partners and others who share their personal information with us.
We understand and appreciate that you are concerned about privacy, particularly in relation to the use and disclosure of personal information. We are committed to providing a high level of privacy in relation to all personal information that is collected by us. The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to tell you what kind of information we may gather about you when you visit our site, how we may use that information, whether we disclose it to anyone, and the choices you have regarding how we will use your personal information, and your ability to correct this information. Our goal is to provide you with a satisfying experience while allowing you to control your privacy and to give you the means to voice any questions or concerns you may have.
This Policy has been adopted to guide how we collect, use and disclose the personal information acquired during conducting our business and fulfilling our professional responsibilities. When applied to Sobremesa’s website, this Policy applies only to the specific web-pages of Sobremesa. Please be aware that Sobremesa web site may contain links to other sites, that are governed by other privacy statements that may differ somewhat and/or contain information as required under local law applicable to each member firm. We encourage users to review the privacy policy of each web site visited before disclosing any personal information. Below we explain how we collect, use, and share information about you, along with the choices that you have with respect to that information.
Any information we may collect from you will be treated with strict confidentiality. Please do not provide sensitive personal information to Sobremesa, unless you consent to our use of that information for its legitimate business purposes and consent to the transfer and storage of the information to and in a Sobremesa database. If you wish to question the necessity of providing sensitive information for any particular purpose, please contact us at info@sobremesa.me.
If you have any questions regarding this Policy, please contact us at info@sobremesa.me.
Your Consent
By using a Sobremesa website or providing personal information to us, you are consenting to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Policy and any applicable Country or Website Privacy Statements.
If you do not consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Policy (and any applicable Country or Website Privacy Statements), do not use Sobremesa websites or any Sobremesa contact us, information request, or order forms.
You consent to your personal information being used in accordance with the privacy policy by visiting our website, by entering information on a webform on our website, by purchasing our services, and/or by providing us with your personal information on the website.
Information Collected and How It May Be Used
Information is collected from you primarily to make it easier and more rewarding for you to use our website and services. Depending on the service you are accessing, you could be asked to provide information such as your name, email address or information about what you like and do not like. It is entirely your choice whether to respond to these questions or not.
When you access and use a Sobremesa website, there are 3 ways we may collect information about you:
1. Information Sent to Us by Your Web Browser
Sobremesa collects information that is sent to us automatically by your web browser. This information typically includes the IP address of your internet service provider, the name of your operating system and the name and version of your browser. The information we receive depends on the settings of your web browser. Please check your browser if you want to learn what information your browser sends or how to change your settings.
The information provided by your browser does not identify you personally. We use this information to create statistics that help us improve our sites and make them more compatible with the technology used by our online visitors.
2. Information Collected By Placing a ‘Cookie’ On Your Computer
Sobremesa may obtain information about you by installing a ‘tag’ on your computer’s hard drive. This tag is known as a ‘cookie’.
Sobremesa website may use ‘session cookies’. A session cookie is used to tag your computer with a computer-generated, unique identifier when you access our site. A session cookie does not identify you personally and expires after you close your browser. We use session cookies to collect statistical information about the ways visitors use our sites – which pages they visit, which links they use and how long they stay on each page. We analyse this information (known as ‘clickstream data’) in statistical form to better understand our visitors’ interests and needs to improve the content and functionality of our sites.
Sobremesa website may also use ‘persistent cookies’. These cookies do not expire when you close your browser; they stay on your computer until you delete them. By assigning your computer a unique identifier, we are able to create a database of your previous choices and preferences, and in situations where these choices or preferences need to be collected again, they can be provided by us automatically, saving you time and effort.
If you do not wish to receive cookies, you may set your browser to reject cookies or to alert you when a cookie is placed on your computer. Although you are not required to accept cookies when you visit a Sobremesa website, you may be unable to use all of the functionality of the site if your browser rejects our cookies.
3. Information You Knowingly and Voluntarily Provide
Sobremesa collects the information you knowingly and voluntarily provide when you use a Sobremesa website, for example, the information you provide when you sign up to receive e-mail alerts, when you complete a survey, or when you ask us a question or e-mail feedback. In many cases, this information will be personal information.
Sobremesa uses this information for the purposes for which you provide it. For example, if you provide your e-mail address when you sign up to receive e-mail alerts, we use your e-mail address to deliver the e-mail alerts you request.
We may also use the information we collect on Sobremesa websites for various business purposes such as customer service, fraud prevention, market research, improving our products and services and providing you and your company with information and offers we believe may be of interest to you. We may also remove all the personally identifiable information and use the rest for historical, statistical or scientific purposes.
With this information, Sobremesa can provide a variety of personalized and enhanced services that are not available to anonymous users. We hope that you will find it beneficial to provide individually identifiable information about yourself to us because it will make our website and its services more relevant to you.
Sometimes, we may specifically ask for personal information about you when you request information or order services. This may be done through webforms, emails, surveys, or social media interactions. Certain information may be required, such as your name, age, internet address or screen name, billing and/orservice address, type of computer or smart device, payment information, in order to provide that service or product to you.
This information may also be used to inform you of additional products and services which may interest you. We may also ask about your interests, but it is your choice whether to respond. How much of your personal information that you choose to disclose to Sobremesa is completely up to you. The only way we know something about you personally is if you provide it to us.
Use of Anonymous Information
Sobremesa automatically gathers anonymous information to monitor the use of our website like the numbers and frequency of visitors. For example, the following information may be logged for statistical purposes, your internet protocol address, the date and time of your visit to our site, the pages that you have accessed and the documents downloaded, and the type of browser you were using.
Tracking technologies such as cookies may be used on our website to recognize your browser each time you visit our site and to track the pages your visit. Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to a computer’s hard disk for record-keeping purposes. Most web browsers are set to accept tracking technologies such as cookies. These tracking technologies do not personally identify you. If you do not wish to receive any cookies, you may set your browser to refuse them. However, your use of our website may be affected.
We only use such data in the aggregate. This collective data helps us determine how much our visitors use parts of the site, so we can make improvements and offer relevant information and services to as many users as possible. We may publish or provide this aggregate data to other people.
We obtain personal information about you only if you choose to provide it, such as contact information to register for certain services. In some cases, you may have previously provided your personal information to Sobremesa. If made available, and you choose to register or login to our web site through a third party single sign-in service, we may collect any information or content needed for the registration or log-in information that you permit the social media provider to share with us, such as your name and email address. Other information we collect may depend on the privacy settings you establish with your social media provider, so please review the privacy statement or policy of the applicable service.
By registering and/or submitting personal information to Sobremesa, you are also agreeing to the use of this information in accordance with this Policy.
Your personal information is not used for other purposes, unless we obtain your permission, or unless otherwise required or permitted by applicable law or professional standards.
If you submit, upload, or share content that includes files that contain personal data on shared hosting servers, Sobremesa Tablescape Parties and Entertainments Services is not responsible for noncompliance.
Additional considerations toward your privacy:
Adverts and Sponsored Links
This website may contain sponsored links and adverts. These will typically be served through our advertising partners, to whom may have detailed privacy policies relating directly to the adverts they serve.
Clicking on any such adverts will send you to the advertisers website through a referral program which may use cookies and will track the number of referrals sent from this website. This may include the use of cookies which may in turn be saved on your computer’s hard drive.
Users should therefore note they click on sponsored external links at their own risk and we cannot be held liable for any damages or implications caused by visiting any external links mentioned.
Downloads & Media Files
Any downloadable documents, files or media made available on this website are provided to users at their own risk. While all precautions have been undertaken to ensure only genuine downloads are available users are advised to verify their authenticity using third party antivirus software or similar applications.
We accept no responsibility for third party downloads and downloads provided by external third party websites and advise users to verify their authenticity using third party antivirus software or similar applications.
Contact & Communication With us
Users contacting this us through this website do so at their own discretion and provide any such personal details requested at their own risk. Your personal information is kept private and stored securely until a time it is no longer required or has no use. In those cases, where we have clearly stated and obtained your consent, we will use your details to send you products/ information through a mailing list system.
Links to Third-party Websites and Other Content
Sobremesa website may contain links to third-party websites and other third-party content that are not operated or downded by Sobremesa. These links are provided as a service and do not imply any endorsement of the activities or content of these sites, nor any association with their operators. Sobremesa does not control these websites and is not responsible for their content, security or privacy practices. We urge you to review the privacy policy posted on websites you visit before using the site or providing personal information.
Social Media and Other Communications
We maintain a presence on several social networking and blogging platforms including but not limited to Facebook, Instagram, Google, LinkedIn, Twitter, Snap, Telegram, TikTok, WhatsApp, and Pinterest. We may incorporate some third-party social networking features into our Services (allowing users to interact with others and share content and information on social media platforms) or utilize third-party provided platforms to publish or manage the Services or portions thereof. Through these platforms and features, we receive or may share information about you, and this Privacy Policy applies to that information as well. In addition, some providers of third-party social media or blogging platforms we utilize have their own privacy policies which explain how the third parties that provide them may collect, use and protect your information (e.g., if you establish an account with such platform providers directly).
By using social features, you agree to those third parties’ privacy policies and terms of use. If you choose to communicate with us or another user through social features available on our websites or mobile applications or through our social media pages, or other similar communication or messaging features or services, such information may be made publicly available. For security purposes, please do not include any password, social security number, card or other sensitive information via these features. We have the right, but not the obligation to monitor messages and communications between and among users for security and training purposes. We may, but are not obligated to, remove any content we deem inappropriate. Users are advised to conduct themselves appropriately when engaging with us on social media.
There may be instances where our website features social sharing buttons, which help share web content directly from web pages to the respective social media platforms. You use social sharing buttons at your own discretion and accept that doing so may publish content to your social media profile feed or page.
Cookies
A cookie is a small piece of data or message that is sent from an organization’s web server to your web browser and is then stored on your hard drive. Information from cookies may include information relating to your use of our websites, information about your computer (such as IP address and browser type), and demographic data.
This website uses cookies to monitor the performance of our website and to improve user experience. If you choose not to accept our cookies, some of the features of our site may not work as well as we intend.
Sobremesa uses Google Analytics and other similar products to track performance and unique visitors to our website. For example, we may track visitor sessions and referral sources to our sites. We use this data to understand site performance to serve you better. We may also track the performance of promotional links to our site. No personal information is passed to Google Analytics.
Most internet browsers have a mechanism notifying you when you receive a new cookie, and telling you how to reject new cookies or disable cookies altogether (if you wish to do so). Note that Google Analytics stores its data within the United States of America and is therefore subject to US laws. Those wishing to opt out of Google Analytics data collection should use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Choices
You have several choices available when it comes to information about you:
Limit the information that you provide: If you have an account with us, you can choose not to provide the optional account information, profile information, and transaction and billing information. Please keep in mind that if you do not provide this information, certain features of our Services — for example, premium themes that carry an additional charge — may not be accessible.
Limit access to information on your mobile device: Your mobile device operating system should provide you with the option to discontinue our ability to collect stored information or location information via our mobile apps. If you choose to limit this, you may not be able to use certain features, like geotagging for photographs.
Opt out of marketing communications: You may opt out of receiving promotional communications from us. Just follow the instructions in those communications or let us know. If you opt out of promotional communications, we may still send you other communications, like those about your account and legal notices.
Set your browser to reject cookies: At this time, Sobremesa’s webhosting provider does not respond to “do not track” signals across all of their services. However, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies before using Sobremesa’s website, with the drawback that certain features of Sobremesa’s website may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
How and Why We Use Information
We use information about you for the purposes listed below:
- To provide our Services. For example, to set up and maintain your account, host your website, backup and restore your website, provide customer service, process payments and orders, and verify user information.
- To ensure quality, maintain safety, and improve our Services. For example, by providing automatic upgrades and new versions of our Services. Or, for example, by monitoring and analyzing how users interact with our Services so we can create new features that we think our users will enjoy and that will help them create and manage websites more efficiently or make our Services easier to use.
- To place and manage ads in our advertising program. For example, to place ads on our users’ sites and some of our own sites as part of our advertising program, and understand ad performance.
- To market our Services and measure, gauge, and improve the effectiveness of our marketing. For example, by targeting our marketing messages to groups of our users (like those who have a particular plan with us or have been users for a certain length of time), advertising our Services, analyzing the results of our marketing campaigns (like how many people purchased a paid plan after receiving a marketing message), and understanding and forecasting user retention.
- To protect our Services, our users, and the public. For example, by detecting security incidents; detecting and protecting against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; fighting spam; complying with our legal obligations; and protecting the rights and property of Automattic and others, which may result in us, for example, declining a transaction or terminating Services.
- To fix problems with our Services. For example, by monitoring, debugging, repairing, and preventing issues.
- To customize the user experience. For example, to personalize your experience by serving you relevant notifications and advertisements for our Services, recommending content through our Reader post suggestions, and providing new essays and stories through Longreads for your reading pleasure.
- To communicate with you. For example, by emailing you to ask for your feedback, share tips for getting the most out of our products, or keep you up to date on Sobremesa services and offers; texting you to verify your payment; or calling you to share offers and promotions that we think will be of interest to you. If you don’t want to hear from us, you can opt out of marketing communications at any time by sending a request to info@sobremesa.me. (If you opt out, we’ll still send you important updates relating to your account or requested services.)
Sharing and transfer of Personal Information
By providing personal information online to us, you are consenting to the transfer and/or storage of your personal information in this manner. Sobremesa does not sell personal information to any third parties, nor will Sobremesa transfer your personal information to any third parties for their own direct marketing use, without your express consent.
Public information is not subject to privacy legislation and therefore is excluded from this policy and is not subject to the same protections as is the case with personal information.
Sobremesa will use your information in a manner consistent with the purposes for which it was originally collected (or to which you subsequently consented) and only as permitted under this Policy, any applicable Country or Website Privacy Statements, and all applicable privacy and data protection laws.
In some instances, Sobremesa may share your personal information with outside companies, service providers or vendors. This may include the transfer of this information across geographical borders to other Sobremesa member firms or third parties working with us or on our behalf to help fulfil your requests. Sobremesa generally stores personal information in the UAE but may also store personal information in other legal jurisdictions.
We might on occasions, use this information to notify you of any important changes to our site or any special promotions that may be of interest to you, satisfaction surveys, or follow up of service inquiries or confirmations of service orders and fulfillment.
Sobremesa may also share your personal information with third parties we hire to perform support services for us. These third parties are required to use the personal information we share with them only to perform services on our behalf and to treat your personal information as strictly confidential.
In some cases, Sobremesa may share your personal information with third parties who partner with us to provide products and services to our customers. When we do so, we will require our business partners to use the personal information we share with them in a manner consistent with the purposes for which it was originally collected (or to which you subsequently consented) and only as permitted under this Policy, any applicable Country or Website Privacy Statements, and all applicable privacy and data protection laws.
In certain, limited circumstances we may share or transfer personal information to unrelated third parties. For example, we may provide personal information to a third party (i) at your request; (ii) to comply with a legal requirement or court order; (iii) to investigate a possible crime, such as identity theft; (iv) in connection with the sale, purchase, merger, reorganisation, liquidation or dissolution of Sobremesa or a Sobremesa business unit; or (v) under similar circumstances. If such an event occurs, we will take appropriate steps to protect your personal information.
Compliance with laws and regulations
Sobremesa may be required to disclose personal information in response to requests of government or law enforcement agencies or where disclosure is required by applicable laws, court orders, or government regulations. These disclosures may also be needed for data privacy or security audits and/or to investigate or respond to a complaint or security threat.

Retention of personal information
Personal information will not be used or disclosed for purposes other than those for which it has been collected, except with your consent or as required by applicable law. We do not share personal information with unaffiliated third parties, except where necessary for legitimate professional and business needs, to carry out your requests, and/or as required and permitted by applicable law or professional standards. We also make reasonable efforts only to retain personal information so long as it is necessary to comply with your request and to delete personal information if you ask us to do so.
Data Retention
Sobremesa retains the personal information collected on Sobremesa websites as long as necessary to provide the services, products and information you request or as permitted by applicable law.
We may retain other information that is not personally identifiable for backups, archiving, prevention of fraud and abuse, analytics, or where we otherwise reasonably believe that we have a legitimate reason to do so.
How We Protect Personal Information
We apply various measures from time to time to safeguard the security and integrity of your personal information collected through our Services. Despite these measures, however, we cannot and do not guarantee that information will be absolutely safe from interception or intrusion during transmission or while stored on our system, or otherwise, and you provide information to us at your own risk.
If you correspond with us by email, text message or using web forms like a “contact us” feature available through our Services, you should be aware that your transmission might not be secure from access by unauthorized parties. We have no liability for disclosure of your information due to errors or unauthorized acts of third parties during or after transmission.
