Last updated: March 10, 2026

1. Overview

Mesa (“we,” “our,” or “us”) operates the website mesacall.com and provides AI-powered restaurant reservation and phone management services. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our services.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

Information you provide directly:

  • Name, email address, and phone number when creating an account or making a reservation
  • Restaurant information (name, address, operating hours, seating layout) provided by restaurant owners
  • Reservation details (date, time, party size, special requests)

Information collected automatically:

  • Phone call recordings and transcripts when interacting with our AI phone assistant
  • Device and browser information, IP address, and usage data
  • Cookies and similar tracking technologies

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To process and manage restaurant reservations
  • To send reservation confirmations, reminders, and updates via SMS
  • To provide AI-powered phone answering services for restaurants
  • To create and manage guest profiles for personalized service
  • To improve our services and develop new features
  • To communicate with you about your account or our services

4. SMS Messaging

When you make a reservation through Mesa, you may receive SMS messages related to your booking, including confirmations, reminders, updates, and cancellation notices. You will receive up to 5 messages per reservation (confirmation, reminder, and any updates or cancellations).

Consent: By providing your phone number during the reservation process (online or by phone), you consent to receive reservation-related text messages from Mesa on behalf of the restaurant. Consent is not a condition of making a reservation.

Opt-out: You can stop receiving SMS messages at any time by replying STOP to any message. You may also contact us at support@mesacall.com.

Help: Reply HELP to any message for support, or contact us at support@mesacall.com.

Message and data rates may apply. We do not charge for SMS messages, but your carrier's standard messaging rates may apply. SMS messages are sent via Twilio. Your phone number and mobile information, including opt-in consent data, will not be shared with any third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.

5. Phone Call Recording & AI Assistant

Mesa provides an AI-powered phone assistant that answers calls on behalf of restaurants. Calls handled by our AI assistant are recorded and transcribed to process reservations, improve service quality, and maintain accurate records.

Callers are informed at the beginning of each call that the call may be recorded. By continuing the call after this disclosure, you consent to the recording. If you do not wish to be recorded, you may hang up and contact the restaurant directly.

Call recordings and transcripts are stored securely and are accessible only to the restaurant that received the call and to Mesa for service improvement purposes. Recordings are retained for the duration of the restaurant's active account.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your data with:

  • Restaurant partners — reservation details are shared with the restaurant where you booked
  • Service providers — we use third-party services for hosting (Vercel), database (Neon), phone services (Twilio/Vapi), and authentication (Google)
  • Legal requirements — when required by law, regulation, or legal process

7. Our Role as a Data Processor

Mesa acts as a data processor on behalf of restaurants (the data controllers). Restaurants determine why and how guest data is used for their operations. Mesa processes this data according to the restaurant's instructions and the terms of our service agreement. If you have questions about how a specific restaurant handles your data, please contact that restaurant directly.

8. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information. All data is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS). Database access is restricted by role-based permissions. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as necessary to provide our services and fulfill the purposes described in this policy. Restaurant owners may delete their account and associated data at any time. Guest reservation data is retained as long as the associated restaurant account is active.

10. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your information
  • Opt out of SMS communications

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@mesacall.com.

11. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to individuals under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
