In this context, orders can be placed via the dean&david application to be downloaded onto your mobile phone (smartphone), via a web application on our website (e.g. on deananddavid.de and deananddavid.ch) or via an app on one of our “self-order kiosks” (all three each an “Application”) at various participating franchisees of dean&david (“dean&david FN”). With such orders, you can also collect points, if applicable, which you can redeem for rewards – as described in section 7 below. Furthermore, dean&david may send you coupons which we generate in the back-end system and which we then send to you, for example, as push messages. You may redeem these coupons on the customer app for mobile device users, on the web application on a website or via an app on a “self-order kiosk”. dean&david provides these services exclusively based on these terms of use.
1.2 The dean&david application is an ordering and payment service for the food, drinks, and other services available at dean&david participating restaurants.

2. Service
2.1 You can be given the opportunity to order at participating independent and independent restaurants at dean&david (“Participation Application”) via the dean&david application to be downloaded to your mobile phone (smartphone), via a web application on a website (e.g., on deananddavid.de and deananddavid.ch) or via an app on a “self-ordering kiosk” (all three each an “Application”), to retrieve location-specific restaurant menu information or other information at participating, independent and autonomous restaurants at dean&david (“Participating Restaurants”), to place orders for meals, beverages, or other consumption at the Participating Restaurant via the Application and to pay for these. The Application may also enable Participating Restaurants to allow you to pay for orders placed with service staff. Further, Participating Restaurants may allow you to place and pay for home delivery orders using the Application (other than using the App on a self-ordering kiosk).
2.2 dean&david has no control over which restaurants participate in the Service and does not guarantee that your restaurant will be able to use the Service.
2.3 The Application may therefore enable you to browse and order meals and drinks from a Participating Restaurant. Your order triggers a process at the Participating Restaurant which informs the Participating Restaurant, dean&david and its agent MENU accordingly of your personal data, e.g., your contact details, such as telephone number, and your order. When your order is ready for collection at the counter, you will be informed either via a push message (for orders placed via the mobile app) or via SMS message (for orders placed via the web app). If the restaurant you are visiting uses guest localization, your table number or your location in the participating restaurant will also be detected by means of placed transmitters or antennas. To receive push notifications, you must have activated push notifications on your smartphone and to enable the detection of your location, you must have activated Bluetooth on your smartphone and give the application permission to detect your location. For orders placed via the self-order kiosk, the puck will tell you when your order is ready for collection at the counter.

You hereby authorize dean&david to disclose and process your orders, personal data and in particular your location data to Participating Restaurants.
