WE AT SACRED PEPPER, ALONG WITH OUR AFFILIATES, RESPECT YOUR CONCERNS ABOUT PRIVACY. THIS PRIVACY NOTICE APPLIES TO PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT ON THE SACRED PEPPER WEBSITE ON WHICH WE HAVE POSTED THIS PRIVACY NOTICE.
This Privacy Notice describes the types of personal information we collect on the site, how we may use the information, with whom we may share it and the choices available to you regarding our use of the information. We also describe the measures we take to safeguard the information and tell you how to contact us about our privacy practices.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We may obtain certain personal information (such as name and other contact details) through our site. The types of personal information we may collect include:
• Contact information, such as your name, postal address, e-mail address, and telephone number;
• Names, postal addresses, e-mail addresses and telephone numbers of others to whom you ask us to send information;
• Username and password to access Sacred Pepper products and services online;

• Online order history;
• Information about your education, work and military history, legal work eligibility status, and other information relevant to specific jobs for which you may apply;
• Other personal information you may provide to us.
In addition, when you visit our site, we may collect certain information by automated means, such as cookies and web beacons. The information we collect in this manner includes IP address, browser characteristics, device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, information on actions taken on our site, and dates and times of website visits. A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a visitor’s computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. A “web beacon”, also known as an Internet tag, pixel tag or clear GIF, links web pages to web servers and their cookies and may be used to transmit information collected through cookies back to a web server. Through these automated collection methods, we obtain “clickstream data”, which is a log of content on which a visitor clicks while browsing a website. As the visitor clicks through the website, a record of the action may be collected and stored. We may link certain data elements we have collected through automated means, such as your browser information, with other information we have obtained about you to let us know, for example, whether you have opened an e-mail we sent to you. Your browser may tell you how to be notified when you receive certain types of cookies or how to restrict or disable certain types of cookies. Please note, however, that without cookies you may not be able to use all of the features of our site. See also our “Do Not Track Policy” below.
If you use site features operated by third-party social networking services (such as Facebook), we may receive information you have made available to those services, including the geographic location of your mobile device and other information about you (such as name, email address, gender, locale, time zone, languages, social media profile URL, personal website URL, biographical information, birthday, photo, list of devices, education history, work history, hometown, interests, current city, political views, favorite athlete and teams, relationship status and information, religion, name of significant other, and certain security settings information) and your contacts on those services. Some of these social networking services allow you to push content from our site to your contacts or to pull information about your contacts so you can connect with them on our site. Some of these services also will facilitate your registration for our site or enhance or personalize your experience on our site. You should make sure you understand the information your third-party social networking services may make available to our site. We may use and disclose the personal information we receive on our site through third-party social networking services as described in this Privacy Notice.

We also use this information to help diagnose technical and service problems, administer our site, identify users of our site, and gather demographic information about our users.

We may use third-party web analytics services on our site, such as those of Google Analytics. The analytics providers that administer these services use technologies such as cookies, web server logs and web beacons to help us analyze how visitors use the site. The information collected through these means (including IP address) is disclosed to these analytics providers, who use the information to evaluate use of the site. To learn more about Google Analytics and how to opt out, please visit: www.google.com/analytics/learn/privacy.html.

We also may disclose information about you (i) if we are required to do so by law, regulation or legal process (such as a court order or subpoena), (ii) in response to requests by government agencies, such as law enforcement authorities, or (iii) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity.

Please note that on occasion, third parties unaffiliated with us may conduct marketing campaigns where they offer gift cards to our restaurants, which they have purchased separately, as inducements to enroll in their programs, complete surveys or take other actions. In such cases, requests directed to us to opt out of further communications will not be effective, as we have no control over the activities of such third parties.
