Categories and Sources of Personal Information We Collect
The personal information we collect depends on how you interact with us, the Services you use, and the choices you make. We collect personal information about you in different ways and from different sources, including through the Services we provide.
Personal Information You Provide to Us
You provide personal information to us in various ways, including when you create or modify an account with us, use our Services, make a purchase from us, ask us for information about our Services, sign up for an event, enter a contest or sweepstakes, contact the customer relationship center, or otherwise communicate with us. For example, we collect:
- Identifiers, such as your name, email address, billing address, delivery address, phone number, profile data, such as your username and password that you set to establish an online account with us and other information you may choose to submit or include in your account profile, such as your birthday or gender.
- Characteristics of protected classifications under California or federal law
- Demographic data (depending on your jurisdiction), such as your age, gender, marital status, household income, employment status, and nutritional preferences.
- Commercial information such as information related to your orders that you place at one of our restaurants or through the Services for delivery, outpost, or pick up; payment transactions; payment data required to process your payment (such as your credit or debit card numbers and other payment or billing information and your signature) and your order history as well as such as records of products or services purchased, obtained, considered, sold, or used (including on behalf of an entity with which you are affiliated if you interact with us in a B2B context).
- Communications data, such as information within messages we exchange when you communicate with us, when you request support, contact us with questions or feedback, communicate with us via chat features, complete our surveys, or engage with us on social media.
- Preferential data, such as your preferred communication method, language, and time zone.
- Audio/visual data, such as through audio and/or visual recordings. This includes cameras in restaurant locations that we use for loss prevention and security purposes and recordings of customer service calls for quality assurance and training purposes.
- Other information not specifically listed here, which we will use in accordance with this Privacy Notice or as otherwise disclosed at the time of collection.
Information Automatically Collected
We, our service providers, and third-party partners may automatically collect information about you and your device that you connect to the Services, including:
- Device and network data, such as the type of device, hardware model, MAC address, operating system, version, settings, configuration, network-related information (for example, IP address, mobile network provider, etc.), the website you visited before browsing to our website, and general location information such as city, state/province, or geographic area.
- Internet or other electronic network activity information, such as the following information when you browse our Website or use our other online Services: information about your online activity and interaction with our Services such as access times, webpages or content viewed, features used, how the webpage or online feature performed, and other websites visited.
- Geolocation data from your device, depending on your device and app settings.
You may use app or device controls to prevent certain types of automatic data collection. But if you choose not to provide or allow information necessary for certain Services, those Services may not function correctly or be available for use.
Information We Generate About You
We generate personal information from the personal information we collect. For example:
- Internet or other electronic network activity information, such as when you build or search for food items on our Services, we generate results that fit your criteria and allow you to save results so they are available to you in future visits. When you browse our Websites or use our Apps, we may infer your zip code/postal code, city, province, state, and/or country location based on your IP address in order to provide you with relevant information.
- Inferred preferences data, such as when we use information about your past purchases to determine your likely readiness to make a new purchase, which we may use for marketing, advertising, or other purposes. We may also infer information from your online activity and interaction with our Services (such as Websites visited, food items viewed, etc.) for the same purposes.
Information From Other Sources
We obtain personal information from others when you direct them to disclose information to us and from these sources:
- Affiliates: We receive personal information from other companies within the Red Lobster family of companies and affiliates. Our “family of companies” is the group of companies related to us by common control or ownership. Personal information is disclosed within this family of companies as part of business operations to, for example, offer Services to our customers.
- Data providers: We may receive personal information about you from information services and data licensors, where we are permitted to do so under applicable privacy laws.
- Third-Party Services: We may obtain personal information about you when you integrate your third-party account with the Services (for example, when you register with the Service you may have an option to use your Facebook, Apple, or other account provided by a third-party site or application). The third-party service operators may collect and disclose your personal information to us. When you use third party services, you are not using Red Lobster’s Services and you should review the applicable third party’s privacy practices before integrating with our Services.
- Publicly available sources: We may obtain personal information (such as demographics) from publicly available sources such as government databases or other data in the public domain as well as information that is publicly available online on social media, networking, and other sites, where we are permitted to do so under privacy laws. If you communicate with us or mention us via social media (such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Instagram) or other third-party online platforms, we may collect information about you, such as the communications, your name, your user ID, and/or username associated with that platform and any information or content you have permitted the platform to share with us. The platform provider’s privacy notice, if any, will apply to your interactions with the platform and its collection, use, sharing, and other processing of your personal information (including when you interact with pages we maintain on social media platforms). You should check your privacy settings in your social media or other third-party accounts to understand and change the information available to us through those services.
- Business partners: With your consent where required under applicable law, we receive personal information from other companies we work with to offer services to our customers or to reach potential customers with our marketing messages. Examples include:
- Advertising and Analytics Companies: Please see the Cookies and Other Similar Data Collection Technologies section of this Privacy Notice for a description of how we receive information from advertising and analytics providers.
- Joint-Marketing Partners: We may receive personal information from partners with whom we offer co-branded services or engage in joint-marketing activities, with your consent where required under applicable law.
- Third-Party Delivery Marketplaces.
- Law enforcement agencies, courts, regulatory agencies, and others: We may receive personal information from government agencies or courts for legal compliance purposes, to protect your personal safety or the safety of others, to protect Red Lobster’s or others’ rights or property, or to investigate fraud. We may also receive personal information from others; for example, in connection with litigation settlements, we may acquire information about you from third parties to meet our tax reporting obligations.
- Parties to Corporate Transactions: We may receive personal information as part of a corporate transaction or proceeding such as a merger, financing, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, or at transfer, divestiture, or sale of all or part of a business or assets.
We may combine personal information about you that we receive from any of the above sources and use that combined information for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice.
Information About Others
If you send us another person’s personal information (such as when placing an order for delivery to a personal or household address that is not yours), we will collect and process such personal information for the purposes for which you provided us such personal information. When you share the personal information of others with us, you are responsible for ensuring that you have their permission to do so.
When you purchase one of our gift cards on-line, we collect your name, the recipient’s name, the shipping and billing address(es) and phone number (or email address, for e-gift cards), credit card information (including CVV and expiration date), amount of the gift card, and the personal message you choose to provide. This information is used to process and fulfill your gift card order.
Cookies and Other Similar Data Collection Technologies
Our websites, mobile apps, and other online Services use cookies, pixels, tags, trackers, and similar digital technologies to operate and to help collect data.
- Cookies are small text files placed on your device to store data that can be recalled by a web server in the same domain that placed the cookie. The text in a cookie often consists of a string of numbers and letters that uniquely identifies your device, but it can contain other information as well. Cookies on our Services are used, for example, to store your preferences and settings, help authenticate your account and enable you to sign in to our Services, provide interest-based advertising, combat fraud, analyze how our Services perform, personalize your experience and the content you see on our website (such as by displaying menu items you have viewed or searched for or by conveniently auto-filling data fields in online forms), and fulfill other disclosed or otherwise lawful purposes.
- Web beacons (also called single-pixel gifs or clear GIFs) that we use to help deliver cookies on our websites, count users who have visited those websites, and gather usage and performance data. We also include web beacons in our promotional email messages or newsletters to determine whether you open and act on them, and in our ads appearing on other sites to measure the performance of those ads. You may be able to disable web beacons in email messages by changing the settings on your email client to prevent the automatic downloading of images.
- Software development kits, or SDKs, which are used to incorporate third-party computer code into our App that allows our service providers and advertising partners to collect personal information from our App for a variety of purposes, including to provide us with analytics regarding the use of our App, to integrate with social media, add features or functionality to our App, or to facilitate online advertising.
Our Websites and Apps often include web beacons, cookies, pixels, tags, trackers, and similar digital technologies from third-party vendors. Sometimes, that is because we have hired the third party to provide services on our behalf, such as site analytics or advertising. In other cases, it is because our Websites and Apps contain third-party content (such as embedded videos, maps, plug-ins, or ads) that use digital technologies to track the content’s operation and performance, as well as your interaction with the content to determine its effectiveness. When your browser connects to a third party’s web server to retrieve content and/or web beacons, that third party can set or read its own cookies on your device and may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites or online services that also have that third party’s content or web beacons.
For example, our Websites and Apps use third-party tools (such as Snapchat, AdRoll, Google Analytics, and other Google services), to support the operation and performance of our online Services and to analyze your interactions and experiences with our Services.
You can find out how Google Analytics uses data here and how to opt out of Google Analytics here. For more information on how Google uses data when you use our Websites, click here. You can learn more about how Facebook uses data here. You may be able to opt out‑out of personalized ads from Google by following steps set forth here, or from Facebook by following steps set forth here.
For more information about the privacy practices of the other third parties, please review their privacy notices.
Interest-Based Advertising
On some pages of our Websites we allow third-party advertising partners to use cookies, web beacons, and other digital technologies to collect or receive information regarding your activities on those Websites (e.g., your IP address, page(s) visited, time of day, and other identifiers). We may also disclose such information we have collected to advertising and analytics companies. These companies may use this information (and combine it with information collected over time and across other websites, apps, or other digital services) to deliver targeted advertisements to you, to provide measurement services when you use our Services, and when you interact with other (non-Red Lobster) websites and online services. This practice is commonly called “interest-based advertising” or “online behavioral advertising.” Please refer to section titled, How to Exercise Your Privacy Rights for information on opting out of the use of your data for advertising purposes.
Industry-wide opt-outs. Many advertising and analytics providers are members of associations, which provide a way to opt out of analytics and/or ad targeting, which you can access at:
- United States: Network Advertising Initiative and Digital Advertising Alliance
- Canada: Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada
We may also work with companies that do not participate in the opt-out mechanisms described above. Even after using these opt-out mechanisms, you may still receive interest-based advertising from other companies.
Please note that even if you opt-out of interest-based advertising by a third party, these tracking technologies may still collect data for other purposes including analytics and you will still see ads from us, but the ads may be less relevant to you and your interests. To successfully opt out, you must have cookies enabled in your web browser (see your browser’s instructions for information on cookies and how to enable them). Your opt-out only applies to the web browser you use so you must opt-out of each web browser on each computer you use. Once you opt out, if you delete your browser’s saved cookies, you will need to opt-out again.
Mobile advertising ID controls. Apple and Android mobile devices each generate an advertising identifier that can be accessed by apps and used by advertisers in much the same way that cookies are used on websites. Each operating system may provide options to limit tracking and/or reset the advertising ID.
Browser controls. Web browsers vary on whether they are set to accept or allow various types of cookies and similar digital technologies by default. You can go to your browser settings to learn how to delete or reject cookies. If you choose to delete or reject cookies and similar digital technologies, this could affect our ability to provide certain features or services of our Websites. If you choose to delete digital technologies, settings, and preferences controlled by those digital technologies, including advertising preferences, may be deleted and may need to be recreated.
Do Not Track. Some browsers have incorporated “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) features that can send a signal to the websites you visit indicating you do not wish to be tracked. Because there is not a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal, our Websites do not currently respond to browser DNT signals. Instead, you can use the range of other tools to control data collection and use, including the cookie controls and advertising controls described above. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” you can visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.
