OpenTable's privacy policy mentions 'the possibility, under certain conditions,' of binding arbitration only in its EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework section - the DPF's standard residual-arbitration route for transfer complaints, not OpenTable's general consumer dispute clause. Whether its Terms of Use impose mandatory arbitration on US users was not verified this pass. OpenTable is part of Booking Holdings.

Terms

Arbitration

OpenTable's own privacy policy states it is subject to FTC regulatory/enforcement power for EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework transfers, and separately notes 'the possibility, under certain conditions, for an individual to invoke binding arbitration' — phrasing that is less definitive/more conditional than the clear mandatory-arbitration language found at most other companies in this tracker; recommend verifying the actual Terms of Use for the primary (non-DPF-specific) arbitration clause.
