Your privacy choices and rights depend on applicable law and how you interact with our Services.

Email Communications

Even if you opt out of promotional communications, we may continue to send non-promotional communications concerning customer-service matters, requests you submit, security issues, legal notices, or other business dealings with you.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

You may control certain cookies and similar Technologies through cookie or privacy controls made available on our Services and through your browser or device settings.

For detailed information about these Technologies and your choices, please review our Cookie Policy.

Changing cookie preferences generally affects future use of Technologies. Technologies already stored on your device may need to be removed through your browser settings.

Google also provides a Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on that may allow you to limit certain Google Analytics activity.

You can learn more about the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Global Privacy Control

Where required by applicable law, we recognize and honor browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”), as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information associated with the browser or device sending the signal.

Do Not Track

“Do Not Track” (“DNT”) is a browser preference that can communicate a visitor’s preference concerning online tracking.

Because there is not a universally accepted standard for responding to DNT signals, we do not currently respond to DNT signals.

This does not affect our obligation to recognize legally required opt-out preference signals such as GPC.

Location Permissions

You may control location permissions through your browser or device settings when applicable.

Disabling location access may affect the availability or functionality of certain restaurant-location features.

If we learn of a security incident requiring notification under applicable law, we may notify affected individuals electronically, by mail, through the Services, or by other legally permitted means.

7. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Personal information processed by us or our service providers may be transferred, processed, or stored in the United States or other countries.

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, provide our Services, maintain customer or business relationships, respond to customer feedback, administer promotions, resolve disputes, establish or defend legal claims, conduct audits, enforce agreements, meet legal or regulatory obligations, and pursue legitimate business purposes.

Retention periods vary depending on the nature of the information and the purposes for which it is used.

When personal information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with applicable law and our retention practices.

9. SUPPLEMENTAL CALIFORNIA PRIVACY NOTICE
