USES OF INFORMATION
We use information about you for responding to and fulfilling your requests for our products and services. This includes sending you automated service messages related to your upcoming or recent restaurant reservations, such as confirmations, reminders, and/or invitations to provide user reviews & ratings.

Please note that although information which you provide, when you register with Dimmi or make a restaurant reservation or submit a review or other content for publication or sharing, will not be used in any unsolicited communication or for which you do not provide consent, you automatically consent for us to treat your personal information in accordance with our privacy policy and for the purposes described below.   You should also note that for our services to operate efficiently, you cannot unsubscribe from service messages unless you unsubscribe from the service.

We might send you newsletters, promotional offers or other marketing communications (including via email) from time to time. We will only send these if you have NOT opted out to receive them. Our newsletters provide general news, information about the latest deals, and occasionally offer incentives for completing surveys or participating in competitions or promotions.

Where you have consented to receive marketing communications from Dimmi, you may from time to time receive communications relating to special offers and/or promotions.

We use information about you to help us to identify other services that might be beneficial to you, and to inform you about them and other items of interest.

We use information about you to help us with our internal accounting and administration, and to protect you and us from fraud.

We do NOT share any personal information about you with anyone other than as outlined in this agreement, as may be required by law, or as needed by us to assist in managing our relationship with you.

The Internet is not a secure environment. If you send us information, including your email address, it is sent at your own risk.
