Not exactly in-depth reporting here, but I wouldn't expect much more of Vogue. In all honesty, I'm not surprised that restaurants you have to make reservations with want to know everything about you before you walk in - our world's economy is all based on personal information; the "customer" is the most valuable product. Heck, if I'm to be perfectly honest, I would not be surprised if there was a restaurant out there that ran reverse image searches on every guest; with the speed of it now and the huge number of images indexed, you can find out more than ever before.
However, my takeaway here is pretty simple: avoid booking a reservation over a website. Doubly so if they want private data, and triply on the same account from which you booked another table. Then again, I'm a bit of a nut and I like my private information to stay private.
- dannyw 9y agoTo be fair, some people may like their experiences to be personalised.
- Endy 9y agoThat might be true. Their preference for a personalized experience should not allow the establishment to impact on my privacy. It should be strongly opt-in, not "avoid and never patronize this restaurant to opt-out".
