Privacy Policy

Effective date: August 26, 2026 Last updated: August 26, 2026

KYMA Soho LLC, doing business as Selene ("Selene," "we," "us," or "our"), operates the restaurant at 23 Grand Street, New York, NY 10013 and the website at www.selenerestaurants.com (the "Site"). This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.

By using the Site, making a reservation, submitting an inquiry, or joining our mailing list, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information we collect

Information you give us directly

Newsletter sign-up. Your email address and the information you provide in the "I want to know more" field.
Reservations. Name, email address, phone number, party size, date and time, visit history, and any notes or preferences you submit. Reservations are handled by SevenRooms.
Private events and group inquiries. Name, email, phone, event date, guest count, event type, budget range, and any details you include. Handled by Tripleseat.
Gift cards. Purchaser name, recipient name and email, message text, and payment information. Handled by Toast. Selene does not receive or store your full payment card number.
Career inquiries. Our Jobs page routes to email. Any resume, work history, or contact information you send us arrives as ordinary email and is retained in our mail system.
Collaboration and press inquiries. Any information you choose to submit, including portfolios and social handles.
Direct contact. Anything you send us by email or by phone at 212.279.9199.

Information collected automatically

IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, time on page, and approximate location derived from IP address.
Cookies, pixels, and similar technologies set by our website platform (Wix), by Google Analytics, by the Meta Pixel, and by embedded third-party content.

Information from third parties

SevenRooms, Tripleseat, and Toast share reservation, event, transaction, and guest history data with us.
Meta and Google provide aggregate campaign, audience, and engagement reporting.

Information we do not collect

We do not knowingly collect Social Security numbers, government identification numbers, biometric data, precise geolocation, or health information. Please do not send us this information. If you tell our team about a food allergy or dietary restriction so we can serve you safely, we use it only for that purpose and retain it only as long as needed to serve you.

2. How we use your information

To confirm, modify, and manage your reservation.
To respond to event, press, career, and collaboration inquiries.
To process and deliver gift cards.
To send marketing emails about menus, seasonal offerings, events, and openings.
To recognize returning guests, note preferences, and tailor both our hospitality and our marketing to your visit history.
To build and target advertising audiences on Meta platforms and to measure whether our advertising works.
To operate, secure, and improve the Site and understand which pages and campaigns perform.
To comply with legal obligations, enforce our terms, and protect our rights, our guests, and our team.

3. Cookies, pixels, and advertising technology

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies for essential functions (page loading, security, session management), for analytics, and for advertising.

Google Analytics collects information about how visitors use the Site, including pages viewed, session duration, and traffic source. You can opt out across all sites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

The Meta Pixel records actions you take on the Site — such as viewing a page or clicking to reserve — and reports them to Meta so we can measure our advertising and show ads to you, and to audiences resembling you, on Facebook and Instagram. You can manage this through your Meta account's Ad Preferences and Off-Facebook Activity settings.

Because we use the Meta Pixel, we "share" personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as that term is defined under California law. We do not sell personal information for money. See Section 8 for how to opt out.

You can refuse or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may break parts of the Site. Where a cookie banner is presented to you, your choices there govern non-essential cookies. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where required by law. We do not respond to browser Do Not Track signals, because no common standard for interpreting them has been adopted.

4. Third-party services

Each of the following processes data under its own privacy policy:

When you click through to a reservation, gift card, or events page, you leave our Site and that provider's policy governs.

Our menus are published as PDF files. Opening a PDF may involve your browser or a third-party PDF viewer that we do not control.

5. How we share information

We share personal information with:

Service providers who perform functions on our behalf, under contract, and only for those functions.
Advertising and analytics partners, specifically Meta and Google, as described in Section 3.
Professional advisors such as counsel and accountants, where necessary.
Authorities, where required by law, subpoena, or court order, or where necessary to protect against fraud or harm.
A successor entity, in the event of a sale, merger, financing, or transfer of all or part of the business.

We do not rent or trade guest lists.

6. Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected, and to meet legal, tax, and accounting requirements. Marketing contacts are retained until you unsubscribe. Reservation, event, and gift card records are retained under the schedules of the platforms that hold them. Career inquiries sent to us by email are retained for up to two years unless you ask us to delete them sooner.

7. Security

We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information, consistent with the New York SHIELD Act. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted over the internet.

8. Your rights and choices

Everyone. You may ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and you may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the link in any email or by contacting us. Unsubscribing does not stop transactional messages such as reservation confirmations.

Opting out of targeted advertising. To opt out of our sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, email us with the subject line "Opt Out of Sharing," adjust your Meta Ad Preferences, or send a Global Privacy Control signal from your browser.

California residents. Under the CCPA/CPRA you have the right to know what personal information we collect, use, disclose, and share; to request deletion or correction; to opt out of sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising; to limit the use of sensitive personal information; and to be free from discrimination for exercising these rights.

Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, Oregon, and other states with comprehensive privacy laws. You have comparable rights of access, correction, deletion, and portability, the right to opt out of targeted advertising and profiling, and the right to appeal a denied request.

Residents of the EU/EEA and UK. Where the GDPR applies, our legal bases are consent (marketing and non-essential cookies), contract performance (reservations, events, gift cards), and legitimate interests (security, service improvement, guest recognition). You have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection, the right to withdraw consent at any time, and the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority.

To exercise any right, email jragonese@selenerestaurants.com with the subject line "Privacy Request." We will verify your identity before acting and respond within the timeframe the applicable law requires. An authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf with written authorization.

9. Children

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

10. International visitors

Selene operates in the United States. If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where data protection law may differ from that of your jurisdiction.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be posted on this page.
