Your Rights and Choices

California Consumers have the right to request: (1) that we disclose to you what Personal Information we collect, use, disclose, share and sell, including the right to request that we provide to you the categories and specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you (Right to Know); (2) that we delete the Personal Information we collect about you (Right to Delete); (3) that we correct inaccurate Personal Information we hold about you (Right to Correct), (4) to opt-out from the sharing of your Personal Information and Sensitive Personal Information to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising (i.e., targeted advertising) (Right to Opt-Out of Sharing), (5) to opt-out from the sale of their Personal Information and Sensitive Personal Information (Right to Opt-Out of Sale), and (6) that we limit the use or disclosure of your Sensitive Personal Information to purposes set forth in the statute, including that use which is necessary and anticipated to perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected by an average consumer who requests those goods or services (Right to Limit the Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information), all subject to the meanings and exceptions set forth in the CCPA and CPRA. More information on each of these rights is below.

In your request, you must provide enough information to allow us to verify that you are the person about whom we collected personal information, or their authorized representative. You must also describe your request with enough detail so that we can understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

Verifying Your Requests

We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity based upon the information you provide and the type of request you are making.

When you exercise your Right to Know, Right to Delete, and/or Right to Correct, we may ask that you provide us with information, beyond your full name and email address in order to verify your identity and fulfill your request. If we are unable to verify that the individual submitting the request is the same individual about whom we have collected information (or someone authorized by that individual to act on their behalf), we will not be able to process the request. Pursuant to the CPRA, we will not require you to verify your identity, beyond asking for the information necessary to complete your request, when you exercise your Right to Opt-Out of Sharing, Right to Opt-Out of Sale, or Right to Limit the Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information.

Authorized Agents

If you are an authorized representative submitting a request on a California Consumer’s behalf, please submit the applicable request pursuant to these instructions. We require proof that you are authorized to submit the request. Please provide proof in the form of a written permission signed by the individual who is the subject of the request authorizing you to make the request on their behalf. The written permission must state your full legal name, the full legal name of the individual who is the subject of the request and needs to be clear about the permission granted. Alternatively, you may submit a copy of a power of attorney under Probate Code sections 4000-4465. Please also indicate the nature of your request. The consumer’s identity may need to be independently verified in order for us to be able to fulfill your request. We may also ask the consumer to directly confirm with us that they provided you permission to submit a request. Please keep in mind that if we do not receive adequate proof that you are authorized to act on the consumer’s behalf, we may deny the request.

BBQGuys’ use and disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information is not for such purposes and/or falls within this list of exceptions and we, therefore, do not offer such opt-out right at this time.

Notice of Financial Incentive

Under California regulation, certain aspects of our loyalty and similar programs (Rewards Program, Pro Program), which provide benefits to consumers, may be considered a financial incentive program. We collect personal information from you in connection with our loyalty program, e.g., contact information (name, email address), commercial information (like purchase history and wishlists), and business information (business type, company name) for a number of reasons, including to administer the program, verify your identity, contact you with regard to your account (if any), to provide the benefits to you, to better serve you, for security and legal purposes, and to fulfill your requests associated with the program.

To opt into our loyalty or similar programs, as set forth herein you will need to provide certain information, register for an account and agree to the applicable program terms, or otherwise follow the instructions associated with the loyalty or other similar programs.

To the extent that we provide programs that may be considered a financial incentive because the program is directly or reasonably related to the collection, deletion or retention of consumer personal information, the value is reasonably related to the overall value we receive from the personal information participants provide specific to the program minus the costs and expenses we incur in providing the program.
