The security of the information we collect about you is of the utmost importance to us and we take appropriate and reasonable measures to ensure that protection, including: 

  • We keep automatically collected data and voluntarily collected data separate at all times.

  • We use internal encryption on all data stores that house voluntarily captured data.

  • We use commercially reasonable tools and techniques to protect against unauthorized access to our systems.

  • We restrict access to private information to those who need such access in the course of their duties for us.

  • We endeavor to ensure not to retain Personal Information about you for a duration greater than as provided or permitted by law, rule, or regulation.

We believe we employ security measures that adequately address the security needs of our customers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network is 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to take reasonable measures to protect your Personal Information, we cannot ensure, guarantee, or warrant the security of any information you transmit, and you do so at your own risk.

To protect the integrity of the information contained in this record, you should not disclose or otherwise reveal your password to anyone.

If you allow our mobile App to access your location information on your device, our mobile App may use your mobile device’s Global Positioning System (GPS) technology and other technology (such as wireless transmitters known as beacons) to provide you with information and offers based on the location of your device.

We may use this location information to enhance your experience by delivering push notifications and other content to your mobile device, providing navigation assistance as you move around our locations, and sending you information and offers about products, services, or activities we believe may be of interest to you.

We may share this information with third parties, including business partners, service providers, and marketing companies to provide information, offers, and services that may be of interest to you. You may prevent or limit the collection of location information by changing the settings in the App or by changing your device settings.

18. STATE SPECIFIC NOTICES: CALIFORNIA, COLORADO, CONNECTICUT, NEVADA, OREGON, VIRGINIA AND UTAH

If you are a resident of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Nevada, Oregon, Virginia, or Utah, the following state specific provisions describe our policies and practices in accordance with the applicable state consumer data protection law regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information that we obtain about you when you access or use the Websites, use our mobile application, use our Services, or through other channels (e.g., phone and e-mail conversations, viewing our emails, when you visit our locations or attend our events, or through authorized services providers or third parties).

Capitalized terms used in the following state sections shall have the meanings set forth in the applicable state consumer data protection law. Sections 1 through 17 of this Policy continue to apply except as modified by the state section applicable to you. Please read the relevant state section carefully before using the Websites and Services or otherwise submitting your Personal Information to us.

Except as otherwise noted, any capitalized terms not defined in a state-specific section have the meaning set forth in the Policy. With the exception of the California section, these state sections do not apply to Personal Information we obtain about you in a commercial or employment context.

By accessing or using the Websites or Services, or otherwise submitting Personal Information to us, you indicate your understanding that the collection, use, and sharing of your information is subject to the terms of the relevant state section, the Privacy Policy, and our Terms of Use & Service. If you do not consent to the collection, use, and sharing of your Personal Information as described, please do not use the Websites or Services or otherwise provide us with such information.

Consumer Rights. These state-specific sections include rights you may have under the applicable state law and information on how to exercise them. Where permitted by law, we reserve the right to respond only to a verifiable request to exercise a right. A verifiable request may be made by any of the following:

  • The consumer who is the subject of the request,

  • A consumer on behalf of the consumer’s minor child, or

  • A natural person or person registered with the Secretary of State authorized to act on behalf of a consumer, where permitted by applicable law.



If we request, you must provide sufficient information to verify your identity and/or authority to act on behalf of a consumer. In general, we may ask you to provide identifying information that we already maintain about you or we may use a third-party verification service. In either event, we will try to avoid asking you for sensitive Personal Information to verify your identity. We may not be able to respond to your request if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and/or confirm the Personal Information relates to you. Please note that making a consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.

Additionally, you will need to describe your request with sufficient detail to allow us to review, understand, assess, and respond. We will not use the Personal Information we collect from an individual to determine a verifiable request for any other purpose, except as required by law.

Fees.We reserve the right to charge a fee to process or respond to your request if it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that a request warrants a fee, we will attempt to notify you as to why we made that decision and provide a cost estimate before completing your request. We will attempt to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of receipt, but we may require up to ninety (90) days to respond, under which circumstances we will notify you of the need for an extension.

Response.If you have an account with us, we may deliver our written response to that account, by mail, or electronically, at your option. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the receipt of your verifiable consumer request.

  • California residents:With respect to Personal Information collected on and after January 1, 2022, and to the extent expressly permitted by applicable regulation, you may request that such disclosures cover a period beyond the 12 months referenced above, provided doing so would not be impossible or require a disproportionate effort by us.



Agents. Subject to certain limitations, you may authorize a natural person or a business registered with the applicable Secretary of State to act on your behalf with respect to exercising your rights under a state section. Unless you have provided the authorized agent with a qualifying power of attorney, you must provide your authorized agent with written permission (signed by you) to act on your behalf and verify their identity with us. We reserve the right to deny requests from persons or businesses claiming to be authorized agents that do not submit sufficient proof of their authorization. The following state- specific limitations apply to agents:

  • California: An agent may submit only a request to Know, Correct or Delete on behalf of a Consumer.

  • Colorado: An agent may submit only a request to Opt Out of the processing of Personal Data concerning the Consumer for purposes of Targeted Advertising or the Sale of Personal Data.

  • Connecticut: An agent may exercise only the right to Opt Out of processing of Personal Data concerning the Consumer for purposes of Targeted Advertising, the Sale of Personal Data, or Profiling in furtherance of solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning the consumer.

  • Oregon: An agent may exercise only the right to Opt Out of processing of Personal Data concerning the Consumer for purposes of Targeted Advertising, the Sale of Personal Data, or Profiling.
