Batumi restaurant guide — kosher, local, Asian and more
Privacy policy
Last updated: 9 October 2026
This privacy policy explains how Batumshi handles information about users of batumshi.com. The website is a restaurant information guide to Batumi, not a system for ordering meals or reserving restaurant tables. In addition to the guide, it accepts direct advertising requests. It is not a restaurant and does not operate the external services it links to.
What information may be collected
Normal website use may involve the collection of basic technical and statistical information, such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, referral source and general usage data. This information is used to understand website use and improve the user experience and content.
If you contact us by email or another method, we may receive the contact details and message content you choose to provide.
Links to external services
This website links to external services such as Google Maps, WhatsApp, Facebook, restaurant websites, external menus and other services. Following an external link is subject to that service's privacy policy and terms, outside Batumshi's control.
A WhatsApp link may open a conversation with a restaurant or external party, sometimes with a pre-filled message indicating that you arrived through batumshi.com. Sending the message is your own action and responsibility.
Cookies and analytics
Essential tools support operation, security and remembering preferences. Google analytics and marketing tools, where configured on the website, load only after affirmative consent through the banner. You can choose Essential only, or change and withdraw your choice using Cookie preferences at the bottom of the website. Further details are in thecookie policy.
Advertising requests and payment
The advertising form collects the information you provide: business name, headline and description, image, destination link, contact person, phone number, email address, language and advertising package. Order status, advertising dates and payment-verification details are also retained. The information is used to review the advertisement, handle payment, issue documents, publish the advertisement and respond to enquiries. Advertisement content intended for publication is displayed only after administrator approval.
Available payment methods are shown with the request or arranged via WhatsApp. If card payment is offered, a charge is made only after payment is authorised on the provider's secure payment page; submitting a request alone does not charge you. A bank transfer can be arranged via WhatsApp. Necessary request details may be shared with email and accounting-document providers to handle the request. Advertisement approval is emailed after approval, in the language selected during the request process.
Transaction records and accounting documents are retained for record-keeping and the obligations applicable to the business. Expiry stops the advertisement being displayed but does not automatically delete its order record.
Information retention and use
Information provided in a direct enquiry will be used to handle the enquiry, correct information, respond to the user or address an accessibility matter. We do not sell personal information to third parties.
Accuracy of website information
Website information is intended to help users, but prices, opening hours, menus, kosher information, availability, addresses and external links may change. Please confirm important details with the restaurant before visiting or ordering.

Measuring advertisements and sponsored links
Direct advertisements use aggregate impression and click counts by advertisement, day and placement. The reporting mechanism does not store IP addresses, create persistent visitor identifiers or use tracking cookies. These figures are not unique people and may include repeat views. This counting is separate from Google tools and does not allow advertisers to identify visitors.
Advertisements may link to external websites, WhatsApp, maps or other services. If an image loads from an external URL rather than the website's media library, the browser may also contact the server hosting that image.
Contact
For enquiries, questions, corrections or information removal: Contact on WhatsApp.
Direct-ad measurement
The website's direct-ad system counts ad impressions and clicks to operate advertising and provide aggregate reports to advertisers. Data is aggregated by ad, date and placement; it does not represent unique people or business enquiries.
This statistics system does not use tracking cookies or store IP addresses or user IDs. It uses a random key for each page load to prevent duplicate counting; temporary key records are scheduled for deletion after 48 hours through website maintenance tasks. Aggregate counters are retained for reporting. This information concerns the direct-ad system and does not replace the explanations above about other tools on the website.
Advertiser Privacy and Information Retention
Updated: 1 November 2026. Advertising is managed under the DiziDora brand. For privacy, access, correction or deletion requests, email Contact.
Information We Keep and Why
Advertising requests store the business and contact name, email, phone, request language, selected package, advertisement title and description, image if supplied, button text and destination link. We also store request and order identifiers, amount, processing status, terms acceptance and its time, and correspondence needed to provide the service. For a confirmed bank transfer, the transfer and receipt references entered by an administrator are retained.
We use this information to handle requests, communicate with advertisers, review content, confirm payment, display approved advertisements, handle cancellations and disputes, and meet accounting and legal obligations. Submitting a request is voluntary; the required fields are needed to process it.
Public and Private Information
An approved advertisement displays its business name, copy, image and destination link. Contact details and transfer references are not displayed as part of the advertisement unless the advertiser included them in the material intended for publication. The advertiser report shows the advertisement and its impression and click counts, not private payment references or contact details that are not part of the advertisement. Keep its dedicated access link private.
Bank Transfers and Service Providers
Available payment methods are shown with the request or arranged via WhatsApp. If card payment is offered, a charge is made only after payment is authorised on the provider's secure payment page; submitting a request alone does not charge you. A bank transfer can be arranged via WhatsApp. When sending proof of transfer, hide account details and other personal information not needed to identify the payment.
Information is accessible to authorised site administrators and providers needed to operate the service, such as hosting, security, email and accounting-document services. Service emails may contain request details and remain in the email system. Opening WhatsApp or an external website is also subject to that service's privacy policy. We do not share this information with other advertisers for marketing.
Advertising Measurement and Security
Direct advertising measurement stores aggregate impression and click counts, not visitor profiles. Temporary duplicate-counting keys are scheduled for cleanup after 48 hours through site maintenance. Request rate limiting uses a hashed IP address with an approximately one-hour lifetime. This is separate from hosting and security logs, which may contain IP addresses, and from other measurement tools described in the cookie policy and consent settings.
Retention Periods
Eligible unpaid bank-transfer requests and their matching orders are scheduled for automatic deletion once both are at least 14 days old, during scheduled maintenance and subject to successful execution and processing of the queue. The link and handling status are checked before deletion. Missing or mismatched links, payment or refund evidence, receipts, approved advertisements, unresolved enquiries and processing holds prevent automatic deletion and are retained for review. Submit a new request if you wish to continue after deletion.
Paid orders, receipts, payment references and records needed for accounting, disputes or legal obligations are excluded from unpaid-request cleanup. Paid order records are not currently deleted automatically. We assess deletion requests for information that is no longer needed; records that must be kept for legal purposes remain for those purposes.
Site cleanup does not automatically delete email copies, external conversations or backups. We handle deletion requests for copies under our control where possible. Backup copies may remain until replaced in the backup cycle and are not used for routine operations. Aggregate measurement counts that do not identify a person may remain after request details are deleted.
Access, Correction and Deletion Requests
Email Contact, preferably from the address used for the advertising request, with its request or order number if available. We may request proportionate identity verification to protect someone else's information.
We will handle the request and update you on the outcome within 14 business days of receiving it, subject to necessary identity verification and legal retention obligations, and always within any mandatory legal deadline. The period does not start only when we acknowledge your email. If some information cannot be deleted, we will explain what is retained and why, where legally permitted.
