I use google docs for some basic forms capture. The entry is transferred to a corresponding spreadsheet and is date/time stamped upon entry. Although, not website stamped. The main privacy issue is this - does the restaurant understand how to manage permission in google docs. They could very easily select the "share" option and have the entire list available to a public search. Not good. I typically use the forms for invitations or common question responses where the information being submitted is not personal or subject to any pilfering. Take care. Hey, great post.
