Privacy Policy

Effective date: 15 July 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Cheesecake Factory Menu USA ("we", "us", "our"), operating the website thecheesecakefactorymenu.us (the "Site"), collects, uses, and shares information about visitors. We aim to be honest and specific: we describe only what actually happens on this Site.

1. Who we are

Cheesecake Factory Menu USA is an independent editorial reference site about the publicly available menu, nutrition, allergen, and location information of The Cheesecake Factory restaurant chain. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by The Cheesecake Factory Incorporated. Questions about this policy can be sent to privacy@thecheesecakefactorymenu.us.

2. Information we collect

We do not require you to create an account and we do not ask you to submit personal information to read this Site. Information is collected in the following ways:

Server logs. Our hosting infrastructure automatically records standard request data such as your IP address, user agent, referring URL, requested page, and timestamp. This is used for security, abuse prevention, and diagnostics.
Cookies and similar technologies. The Site itself sets no cookies of its own. Where third-party services described in Section 4 are active, those services set their own cookies on your device.
Information you send us. If you email us at the addresses listed on the Site, we receive the content of your message and your email address so we can reply. We do not add you to any marketing list.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the applicable minimum age in your jurisdiction). If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

3. How we use information

To operate, maintain, and secure the Site.
To understand which pages are popular so we can improve editorial coverage.
To respond to messages you send us.
To comply with legal obligations, enforce our terms, and prevent abuse.

4. Third-party services, advertising, and cookies

Current status. As of the effective date above, the Site serves no advertising and runs no analytics or tracking scripts. The only third parties involved in delivering a page to you are our hosting provider and the font service referenced in the page stylesheet. The disclosures below describe what would apply if advertising or analytics were introduced; we will update the effective date at the top of this page when that happens.

If the Site displays advertisements served by third parties, the following applies (this reflects the disclosures Google requires publishers to make):

Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
Users may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices.
Third-party vendors and ad networks other than Google may also serve ads on this Site and use their own cookies. You can review the participating networks at aboutads.info and networkadvertising.org/choices.

If analytics services (such as Google Analytics) are introduced to understand aggregate usage, those services set their own cookies and process data under their own privacy policies (see Google's Privacy Policy). None are running today.

The Site loads web fonts from Google Fonts. Requesting a font file discloses your IP address and user agent to that service, which is inherent to loading a resource from another host.

5. Managing cookies and consent

Most web browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through browser settings. Because the Site currently sets no cookies of its own and loads no advertising or analytics, there is at present nothing for a consent banner to gate, and no consent notice is shown.

Before any advertising or analytics service is introduced, visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland will be presented with a consent notice for non-essential cookies, and those services will load only after consent is given, as required by applicable law and by Google's EU user consent policy.

6. Legal bases for processing

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we rely on the following legal bases: legitimate interests for server logs used to keep the Site available, secure and free of abuse; consent for any non-essential cookies, advertising or analytics, should they be introduced; and legitimate interests for handling correspondence you initiate, so that we can reply to you. You may object to processing based on legitimate interests at any time using the contact details below.

7. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

The Site does not track visitors across other websites, so there is no cross-site tracking for a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal to switch off. If advertising or analytics are introduced, an opt-out preference signal such as Global Privacy Control will be honoured where applicable law requires it.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights over the personal information we hold about you, including the right to access, correct, delete, restrict processing of, or receive a copy of your information, and the right to object to certain processing. Residents of California have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information is collected and the right to request its deletion; we do not sell personal information as defined by the CCPA. Residents of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland have rights under the GDPR / UK GDPR.

To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@thecheesecakefactorymenu.us. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law. We do not charge a fee for a reasonable request, and we do not discriminate against anyone for making one.

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom and you believe we have not handled your information properly, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection supervisory authority. We would appreciate the chance to address the issue first.

9. Data retention and security

Server logs are retained for a limited period sufficient to serve the purposes above and then rotated or deleted. Emails you send us are retained for as long as necessary to handle your request and comply with legal obligations. We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information, but no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

10. International transfers

The Site is hosted on infrastructure that may process data in the United States and other countries. Where required, we rely on appropriate legal mechanisms for cross-border data transfers.

11. Links to other sites

The Site links to external websites, including The Cheesecake Factory's own pages. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. Please review their policies before providing information.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the effective date at the top of this page. Material changes will be announced on the Site.

13. Contact

Questions or requests can be sent to privacy@thecheesecakefactorymenu.us or the general address hello@thecheesecakefactorymenu.us. You can also use the Contact page.
