Guest data that stays in Canada
· The TurboResto team
A reservation file is intimate. You hold a name, a mobile number, a peanut allergy, a note that someone uses a wheelchair, sometimes a card for a deposit. That is not a lead list. It is the reason a guest trusts you with Friday night.
Canadian restaurants already live under privacy laws such as PIPEDA and Law 25. Guests can ask what you hold, ask you to correct it, and expect you to say where it sits. "The software is in the States" is a weak answer at the host stand.

What we host, and where
TurboResto is hosted in Canada. Guest records do not cross the border for storage. We do not resell them. When you want to leave, you export the book. The file stays yours.
That is a product choice, not a slogan. The receptionist, the texts, and the floor plan all read the same record. If that record lived in another country, every Saturday night would depend on someone else's rules.
What your team can actually say
Law 25 is not a privacy policy nobody reads. It is the conversation when a regular asks why you still have their old number, or when a new hire wonders who can see the allergy list.
Give the floor a sentence they can repeat. The data is hosted in Canada. Access is limited to people running the room. A guest can ask for a copy or a correction through you, and you can pull it.
French first is part of the same promise
A privacy page in English only is a Law 25 problem wearing a different hat. TurboResto ships the product, the receptionist, and support in French. The person who sets you up can do the walkthrough in the language the room actually uses.
