SITE USAGE AND TARGETED MARKETING INFORMATION

Like most web sites, this Site gathers traffic patterns, site usage information and similar data. This usage data may identify you individually and we may associate it with other personal information that we collect from you on this Site and related to any Program(s) you participate in and as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy (see Information Collected and How It Is Used section of this Privacy Policy and any applicable individual Program terms for more details on how this information is used). This usage data may also be used in anonymous and/or aggregated form. We may share anonymous and/or aggregated statistics about visitors to this Site with others outside our Company, and we may allow third-parties to collect and aggregate non-personal information through this Site and/or supplier sites accessible from or through this Site.

This Site may use cookies, pixels, web beacons (described below) or other similar technology to enhance the browsing and usage experience on this Site. The information captured about your activities on this Site will make it possible for us, among other things, (i) to speed navigation and provide you with custom tailored content; (ii) to remember information you gave to us so you don’t have to re-enter it each time you visit this Site; (iii) to monitor the effectiveness of certain of our marketing campaigns; (iv) to monitor total number of visitors, pages viewed, web address you came from and type of browser you are using, and (v) enforce limitations on downloads described for on-line coupons and other similar offers.

We may from time to time use your information and third-party service providers to implement and evaluate our marketing activities and programs, including without limitation activities on our Site and to engage in targeted and personalized online advertising on third party websites or other online or offline services operated by third parties. This marketing may be completed using data collected about you over time in connection with Programs you participate in, on this Site and other sites on the Internet, from our other marketing activities and programs, and from third parties with whom we work. This data may be collected on an individual basis, such as through information you have provided to us on this Site or through a Program, or based on the use of cookies, pixels, web beacons and other technology, as described below. This information may also be available to and/or shared with the third-party service providers and others outside our Company on an anonymous basis for their own business purposes. For information about opting out of our third party service provider cookies/pixels/web beacons and certain other targeted advertising, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative website NETWORKADVERTISING.ORG  and ABOUTADS.INFO/CONSUMERS .

“Cookies” are small files or records that are stored on your computer’s hard drive when you visit a website. To opt out of receiving most cookies related to this Site, including cookies used for targeted advertising, you can clear your browser(s) of all existing cookies, and set your browser(s) to refuse cookies. The “help” functionality of your browser(s) will explain how to do this. If you refuse cookies, your experience on this Site, some Programs, and some of our online advertising may be affected — for example you may not be able to utilize all of the functions on this Site. If you delete your cookies, change browsers or use a different computer, any opt-out cookie may no longer work and you will have to opt-out again.  We may also use a “pixel” or “web beacon” which is a line of code used by a website or third party ad server to cause a cookie to track a user’s activity on particular sites and/or using particular advertising/links, for example, to record that a user has visited a particular webpage and to collect other information about that user on that site, including without limitation the IP address of the computer (and therefore infer information, such as geolocation), web pages being viewed, date/time viewed, and user activity on a particular page.

Some web browsers allow you to turn on Do Not Track (“DNT”), which sends signals to websites you visit, telling those sites that you do not want your online activities to be tracked. Our Site is not designed to respond to DNT signals received from web browsers.

We may also use JavaScript to help our Site, especially pictures, function better. You can turn JavaScript on or off in your browser functions, but if you turn it off, you may not be able to use all of the options on our websites.

Sometimes we use technology to collect the information that your browser uses to auto-fill.  We use this to tell you if there is a mistake in registration or if the registration cannot be submitted.  You can stop this technology by turning it off in your browser, and you will still be able to use all of the options on our websites.

PROTECTING OUR COMMUNITY

The law requires that we and our suppliers may be required to share your personal information and non-personal information pursuant to judicial or governmental subpoenas, warrants or other like orders and in other ways necessary to comply with applicable law. If we are required to do so, we will, of course, obey the law. In addition, notwithstanding any term to the contrary in this Privacy Policy, we and our suppliers reserve the right to use and disclose your personal and non-personal information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, violation of third party rights, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, or any other similar situation, violations of the Statement, any Program terms and/or as required by law.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

This Site is not directed toward children under the age of thirteen, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of thirteen. We do not knowingly sell any personal information of individuals under 18 years old. If you are between the ages of 13 and 18, please ensure that you use this Site with the permission of a parent or guardian. If a child under thirteen provided this Site with personal information, we ask that a parent or guardian “Contact Us,” via email at [email protected].

SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

If you believe your account(s) have been compromised, please immediately Contact Us and take immediate action to remove the credit card, Saladworks gift card or other payment information associated with your account(s).  Personal information and non-personal information are stored on computers and servers located in the United States. The United States may not offer a level of privacy protection for personal information as great as that offered in other jurisdictions. Therefore, the disclosure of personal information is at your own risk. Email submissions over the Internet may not be secure. Please consider this fact before emailing any personal or confidential information.

TRANSFER OF ASSETS OR BUSINESS

In the event of a transfer or sale of some or all of our business or assets, Saladworks may disclose your personal information to those involved in such a transfer or sale of business or assets. We may also disclose your personal information to a third party in the event of any reorganization, merger, joint venture, or assignment of our assets or ownership interest (including any bankruptcy or similar proceedings).

CALIFORNIA PRIVACY NOTICE

If you are a California resident you may have the following rights or choices that we will accommodate where your requests meet legal and regulatory requirements and do not risk making our other data less secure or changing our other data. You may also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. You may have the right to request that we disclose the following about personal information that we collect, use or disclose to third parties for their direct marketing activities:

1. The categories of personal information we have collected about you,
2. The categories of sources from which the personal information was collected,
3. The business purpose for collecting personal information,
4. The categories of third parties with whom we share personal information, and
5. The specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.

“Legal Categories” of Personal Information: The law requires us to tell you about the personal information we collect about you in a certain way – specifically, we need to tie it back to “legal categories” of personal information that are listed in the law. To do this, we bundled up the information we gave you above in our Privacy Policy and matched the different types of personal information we collect about you with the legal category. To make things easier to understand, we’ve put this information in a chart that shows you these things:

1. The category of personal information, and types of personal information we collect about you for each legal category,
2. The source of the information, and
3. The business purposes for which we collect and may share your personal information and with whom.

We’ve included these things in the California Privacy Chart at the end of this California Privacy Notice.

Access, Erase: You may have the right to know what information is being collected about you, to access your personal information, to receive a copy of your information, and to know whether your personal information is disclosed and to whom.  You may also request that we delete any personal information about you that we have collected from you.

To make such requests, please “Contact Us” via email at: [email protected].  We verify requests for disclosures about personal information, and requests for the deletion of personal information.  Your request must include your first and last name, address, phone number and an email address.  If you have an account with us, you must provide the account information with your request.  We will compare the information you provide with your request with previous information provided by you to verify it is you making the request.  We may also contact you by telephone, text or email to complete this verification.  If you authorize an agent to make a request on your behalf, the agent must also provide documentation such as a power of attorney or other signed and notarized authorization from you to verify your agent’s right to request (and in the case of disclosure requests, right to receive information) on your behalf.  Any personal information we collect in connection with verifying your request will solely be used for that purpose.

Non-Discrimination: You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment by us because you exercise your privacy rights. We will not discriminate against a consumer because the consumer exercised their rights described above, including but not limited to, by:

1. denying goods or services to the consumer,
2. charging different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties,
3. providing a different level or quality of goods or services to the consumer,
4. suggesting that the consumer will receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

Due to the value of consumer data, we derive from consumers who provide personal information though our customer loyalty App Programs, which are not offered through our Site, but are offered through an online App, we may offer consumers who participate in these Programs discounts on purchases.  The difference in price for consumers who participate in these Programs will be reasonably related to the value of the consumer data we derive.

California Shine the Light: California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine the Light” law, permits California residents to annually request, free of charge, information about the personal information (if any) disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year. We do not share personal information with third parties to market third party products and services or for their own marketing purposes.

California Privacy Chart: The following chart describes the categories of personal information covered by this California Privacy Notice that we may collect about you and have collected in the past 12 months and, for each category, where and why we collected it, and the categories of entities with which we shared the personal information. Our products and services are provided through independently-owned and operated franchises and we obtain information from them.

We Do Not Sell Your Personal Information: In the last 12 months we have not sold any personal information. We do not and will not sell personal information.
