Such information will be collected from you automatically when you visit the Sites. We may also collect any information you enter, share or that can be obtained from your use of our apps, games, contests, or promotions. We may use "cookies" of different types to recognize your computer. A cookie is a small text file that a website, online application, or e-mail may save to your internet browser and/or your computer's hard drive for use in subsequent visits to the Sites or other sites. See “Cookies Policy” below for more information.

We may use web beacons, match scripts, pixel tags or similar technologies that allow us to know if a particular web page was visited, an e-mail opened, links in the email utilized or if the advertisements on the Sites or other sites were effective. In some instances, these technologies may allow us to match activities with particular users.

The purpose of Fast n’ Friendly collecting the information described in this Section 3 is to provide you with access to certain areas and features of the Sites, tailor content, advertisements, and offers we provide you, and improve the Sites and/or for internal business purposes.

We may use a device identifier to, among other things, administer the Sites, help diagnose problems with our servers, analyze trends, track users’ web page movements, help identify you and your shopping cart, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.

We may share the information described in this Section 3 with third parties that analyze data, host, or operate our Sites.

4. Location information, such as the physical location of your device based on, for example, satellite, cell phone tower or Wi-Fi signal. Our mobile applications may collect geo-location information, including from the GPS function on your mobile device. You can opt-out of sharing your geo-location information by changing the settings on your mobile device.  If you choose to opt-out, it may disable certain features of our mobile applications.

We may use location information in a variety of ways, including to determine which of our store locations may be closest to you, whether you are within the allowed geographical ordering range of one of our stores, and to offer products and services to you. The recipients of your location information are the same recipients set forth in Section 1 (“Identifying Information”) above.

Other Sources

We may receive your personal information from other persons if that person has sent you a gift card or product via the Sites.

Combined Information and Internet Based Advertising

Information you provide at Fast n’ Friendly retail stores may be combined with information that you provide online at the Sites, as well as with information about your interests and purchases we collect automatically. The information you provide to Fast n’ Friendly may also be combined with demographic and other information that is available from other sources in order to allow Fast n’ Friendly to better communicate with you and enhance our customer service and your shopping experience.

We participate in interest-based advertising and we or others may use information about you to deliver to you or allow you to see certain advertising based on your interests, searches you perform, information you provide, or your activity on the Sites or other websites.

Fast n’ Friendly may also use this information to analyze and manage its businesses. Aggregate or combined data is collected from online and offline facilities and may be used to enhance the ability of Fast n’ Friendly to communicate with you and to support business functions such as internal business processes, marketing, authentication, customer service, fraud prevention, and public safety and legal functions. See below for more information.

Record Retention

We will retain your information for as long as needed to provide you services, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Opt-Out

If you provide us with your email or postal address, or have done so in the past, we will ask you if we can use it to send you updates on the latest Fast n’ Friendly news. If you do not want us to contact you, you can choose to "opt out," and Fast n’ Friendly will respect your wishes.

If you opt out of receiving promotional communications from us whether online or on your mobile device, we may still send you non-promotional communications such as emails about your Fast n’ Friendly account, if you have one, or our ongoing business relations.

Sharing In Connection with Business Transfers

In the event that a store, division or part or all of Fast n’ Friendly is bought, sold or otherwise transferred, or is in the process of a potential transaction, customer information will likely be shared for evaluation purposes and included among the transferred business assets.

Sharing To Comply with Laws

Fast n’ Friendly may also disclose specific information when such disclosure appears necessary to comply with the law, a subpoena or other litigation process or to protect the interests or safety of its visitors and customers, Fast n’ Friendly employees or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

Promotions

Any sweepstakes, raffles, surveys, games, or similar promotions offered by Fast n’ Friendly may be governed by specific rules and terms and conditions that are separate from and in addition to this Privacy Policy. By participating in any such sweepstakes, contest, raffle, survey, game, or similar promotion, you will become subject to those rules, including but not limited to receiving emails containing promotional communications and/or Fast n’ Friendly Rewards information.

Do Not Track

Do Not Track (DNT) is a privacy preference that users can set in some web browsers, allowing users to opt out of tracking by websites and online services. At the present time, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has not yet established universal standards for recognizable DNT signals and therefore, Fast n’ Friendly and the Sites do not recognize DNT.

Data Security

Fast n’ Friendly is fully committed to data security. We use security techniques on the Sites to help protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information collected from you at the Sites. When you access your account information or transmit personally identifiable data to the Sites, that information is stored on servers that the Sites have attempted to secure from unauthorized access or intrusion. "Secure Socket Layer" software encrypts personal information you transmit to the Sites. However, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure the security of the information you transmit to us. In this regard, we urge you to take every precaution to protect your personal data while you are on the Internet. At a minimum, we encourage you to make sure that you are using a secure browser as you surf the Internet.

Cookies Policy

The Sites use "cookies," which are small pieces of information stored by your browser or other application on your computer's browser or hard drive. The cookies are used to connect your computer with information stored about your online activity, searches, preferences and product purchases both within the same website visit and from one visit to the next on Fast n’ Friendly and/or other websites. (Some examples of this data include your account preferences, user specific information on pages accessed, searched terms or addresses entered, and previous visits to the site.) The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive new cookies or how to disable cookies altogether. If you reject cookies, you may not be able to participate in certain activities or receive a promotion tailored to you. The Sites do not control and do not guarantee the effectiveness of browser-based tools for managing cookies.

We or our partners may also use Flash cookies (also known as Local Stored Objects) or other similar technologies. A Flash cookie is a small data file placed on a computer using Adobe Flash or similar technology that may be built into your computer or downloaded or installed by you to your computer. We use these technologies to personalize and enhance your online experience, facilitate processes, and personalize and store your settings. Flash cookies may help our website visitors to, for example, set volume preference associated with a video experience, play games and perform surveys. They help us improve our Sites by measuring which areas are of greatest interest to customers. They may be recognized by other sites or by our marketing or business partners. Flash cookies are different from browser cookies and the cookie management tools provided by your browser may not remove Flash cookies. Click hereto learn how to manage privacy and storage settings for Flash cookies. If you disable Flash cookies or other similar technologies, please be aware that you may not have access to certain features and services that make your online experience more efficient and enjoyable.

We may also use web beacons, which are electronic images that may be used on our websites or in our emails. We use web beacons to deliver cookies, count visits, understand usage and campaign effectiveness and to tell if an email has been opened and acted upon.

Social Media

We maintain a social media presence, such as a Fast n’ Friendly Facebook page. You can interact with us through social media, such as by entering our contests, posting content, sharing material from Fast n’ Friendly’s websites, and using our social media plug-ins. When you interact with us using social media, we may receive information such as your user ID, your profile picture, photos you post, and similar information, which is often determined by your privacy settings at social media sites. We may use the information for the same types of purposes we describe throughout this Privacy Policy. Your use of social media sites is primarily governed by the site operators’ privacy policies and terms of service, and the information you share with us and with others is largely controlled by the privacy settings you have established at those sites.

Network and Interest-Based Advertising

We may also enter into agreements with third parties that possess technology that allows the Sites to use targeting or advertising cookies to see which areas and features are popular, count visits to our Sites and customize the advertising and marketing messages you receive on the Sites. This information may be shared with these third parties for this purpose. The Sites may use Google Analytics and the third-party cookie DoubleClick to optimize our Sites based on the traffic we receive and assist with marketing. To learn more about Google Analytics, including options for opting out and/or managing the ads you may see online please visit: www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners.

We also provide interest-based advertising about our products and services on other parties’ websites. We may use third-party advertising companies that use tracking technologies to serve our advertisements across the Internet. These companies may collect information about your visits to the Sites and other websites and your interaction with our advertising and other communications. These advertising companies serve ads on behalf of us and others on non-affiliated sites, and some of those ads may be personalized, meaning that they are intended to be relevant to you based on information collected about your visits to the Sites and elsewhere over time. Other companies may also use such technology to advertise on our Sites. You have the choice to tell us not to collect and use this information. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices concerning interest-based ads, visit https://www.networkadvertising.org/understanding-online-advertising/what-are-my-optionsor www.aboutads.info/choices

Children’s Privacy

The Sites do not knowingly solicit or collect personally identifiable information online from children under the age of 13 without prior verifiable parental consent. If Fast n’ Friendly learns that a child under the age of 13 has submitted personally identifiable information online without parental consent, it will take all reasonable measures to delete such information from its databases and to not use such information for any purpose (except where necessary to protect the safety of the child or others as required or allowed by law).
