Your privacy
Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 30, 2026
This policy explains what information we collect when you visit galapagosmn.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. We keep it short and plain. If anything is unclear, email us at privacy@galapagosmn.com.
Who we are
We are Gálapagos Bar & Grill, a family-owned Ecuadorian restaurant at 3508 E Lake St, Minneapolis, MN 55406. This policy covers our website. It does not cover the separate ordering and delivery services we link to, which have their own policies (see "Ordering and payments" below).
Information we collect
Information you give us. If you contact us or fill out a form on the site, we collect what you choose to send, such as your name, email address, phone number, and your message. We only use this to respond to you.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we use cookies and analytics tools (such as Google Analytics and similar) that collect basic technical information, for example your device and browser type, approximate location, the pages you view, and how you arrived at the site. This helps us understand what is useful and keep the site working.
How we use your information
- To reply to your questions and requests.
- To run, maintain, and improve the website.
- To keep the site secure and prevent misuse.
- To meet legal obligations when required.
We do not sell your personal information.
Cookies and analytics
Cookies are small files stored by your browser. We use them for basic functionality and for analytics. You can control or delete cookies in your browser settings, and you can opt out of Google Analytics using Google's opt-out browser add-on. Turning off cookies may affect how some parts of the site work.
Ordering and payments
When you order online, you are sent to a third-party service to complete and pay for your order: Clover for pickup, and DoorDash or Uber Eats for delivery. Those companies collect and handle your order and payment details under their own privacy policies. We never see or store your full payment card information.
Who we share information with
We share information only with service providers that help us run the site (for example, our website host and analytics provider), and only as needed to provide those services. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, our guests, or the public.
Children's privacy
Our website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Your choices and rights
You can ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information you have shared with us, and you can ask questions about how we handle it. Email privacy@galapagosmn.com and we will respond. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under your state's privacy laws.
How we protect and keep information
We use reasonable measures to protect the information we hold and keep it only as long as needed for the purposes above or as the law requires. No website or method of transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date at the top. Please check back occasionally.
