Our Privacy Policy applies to all of the Services offered by the Fuel Rewards® Program to Users. Our Privacy Policy is intended to describe our data collection practices in the United States. However, because the data protection and privacy laws in some jurisdictions where our Services are located may restrict our data collection and processing practices, our practices may be more restrictive subject to local laws.
Our Privacy Policy does not apply to services offered by other companies or individuals, including products or sites that may be displayed to you, or other sites linked from our Sites or Services. Our Privacy Policy does not cover the information practices of other companies and organizations who advertise our Services, and who may use cookies, pixel tags and other technologies to serve and offer relevant ads.
Please note that this Privacy Policy applies only to personal information collected in relation to Fuel Rewards as described in this policy. It does not apply to other loyalty program data or personal information that you have provided to one of our customers, partners, or a third party. For more information on how these third parties may treat the personal information that you provide to them, please review their respective privacy policy.
By accessing or using the Sites in any manner, you also agree to be bound by the Fuel Rewards® Program’s Terms and Conditions (the “Agreement”). Please read the Agreement carefully. If you do not accept all of the terms and conditions contained in or incorporated by reference into the Agreement, please do not use the Sites.
We collect information, including personal information, to provide better Services to all our Users.
The Personal Information which we collect may include, but is not limited to, the following circumstances and data elements:
If you provide us or our Third Parties with any Personal Information relating to other individuals, you represent that you have the authority to do so and acknowledge that it will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you believe that your Personal Information has been provided to us improperly, or to otherwise exercise your rights relating to your Personal Information, please contact us by using the information set out in the “How to Contact Us” section below.
We may collect your personal information in different ways. Below are some examples of how we may collect your personal information.
The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), requires us to make specific disclosures about how we collect, use, disclose the personal information (“PI”) of California residents who are subject to CCPA. CCPA also grants such California residents certain rights related to their PI. This section describes our PI practices offline and online, and contains these required disclosures and instructions for California residents who wish to exercise their rights under CCPA.
CCPA contains specific definitions for “sharing” PI and “selling” PI. These definitions only apply to this California Privacy Notice, and do not apply to the rest of our Privacy Policy. “Share” or “sharing” means, in short, sharing PI for cross-contextual advertising purposes. “Sale” or “selling” is defined very broadly and includes the disclosure of PI for monetary or valuable consideration.
During the last twelve (12) months, we have collected the following categories of Personal Information from Users.
Identifiers.
First, middle and last name, alias, postal address, telephone number, unique personal identifier, date of birth, online identifier, Internet Protocol address, driver’s license number, personal email address, business email address, account ID, user employee account data/other password, unique ID assigned by employer, PIN data, language spoken, mother’s maiden name, household income.
Personal information categories listed in the California Customer Records statute (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e)).
A name, postal address, telephone number, user employee account data/other password, driver’s license number, credit card number, debit card number, or any other financial information.
Protected classification characteristics under California or federal law.
Age, sex (including gender, gender identity, gender expression).
Commercial information.
Records of personal property, products or services purchased, obtained, or considered, or other purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies.
Internet or other similar network activity.
Browsing history, search history, information on a consumer’s interaction with a website, application, or advertisement, meta data used for matching, reward codes and tags, security codes for password resets
Geolocation Data
Physical location or movements
Profile reflecting a person’s preferences, characteristics, psychological trends, predispositions, behavior, attitudes, intelligence, abilities, and aptitudes.
We obtain the categories of Personal Information listed above from the following categories of sources:
Our PI retention criteria: CCPA requires that we disclose the criteria we use to determine how long we will retain each category of PI in the chart above. Oftentimes, our records contain several of these categories of PI combined together and therefore we consider, on a case-by-case basis, a number of factors to assess how long PI is retained. These factors include what PI is reasonably necessary to (i) provide our products and services or administer our relationship with a consumer; (ii) protect our business, employees, organization and others; (iii) fulfill our legal and regulatory obligations; and (iv) investigate and address issues which may include safety concerns, potential security incidents or policy violations.
Disclosures for Business Purposes: In the past twelve (12) months, we have disclosed each of the categories of PI identified in the chart above for “business purposes,” as defined in CCPA. We have not disclosed this information to third parties (e.g., non-service providers) in the past 12 months other than as directed by you or with your consent.
California resident rights under CCPA. Subject to certain exclusions included in CCPA, and as relevant to our operations, California residents have the rights listed below with respect to the PI that we maintain about them. We may take steps to verify your identity, as permitted or required under CCPA, before we process your request. Verification may include asking you to provide information about yourself that we can match against information already in our possession.
California residents who wish to exercise their rights under this section may either 1) submit a request using this form via email to privacy@fuelrewards.com, or 2) call 888-474-3924 to submit your request.
Agents. Agents that you have authorized to act on your behalf may also submit CCPA requests as instructed above. The agent must also provide evidence that they have your written permission to submit a request on your behalf. If we are unable to verify the authenticity of a request, we may ask you for more information or may deny the request.
Notice of Financial Incentive. We offer various financial incentives in relation to the Services. For example, we may provide discounts, coupons and other benefits for customers who join our loyalty program. When you participate in a financial incentive, we collect Personal Information from you. This may include the various Personal Information described in this Privacy Policy. You have the ability to opt-out of the financial incentive, or our subsequent use of your personal information in connection with a financial incentive, at any time by contacting us at privacy@fuelrewards.com. The value of your personal information is reasonably related to the value of the offer or discount presented to you. In some instances, or for some programs, we may provide you with additional terms or conditions relating to a financial incentive.
Additional Information about your California Rights. If you reside in California, you have the right to ask us one time each year if we have shared PI with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make a request, please send us an email at privacy@fuelrewards.com. Indicate in your email or letter that you are a California resident making a “California Shine the Light” inquiry.

We may use your Personal Information in ways that are compatible with the purposes for which it was collected or authorized by you, including for the following purposes:
We and our Service Providers may use IP addresses and other technologies to understand the locations from which our Users are accessing the Services. Except where prohibited by applicable law or regulation, we may combine information collected through one source with information obtained through other resources. We also may supplement the information we collect with information obtained from third parties. This may include information collected offline with information we collect through the Sites. We will treat any information that we combine with your personal information as Personal Information pursuant to this Privacy Policy.
To the extent we rely on consent for the processing of your Personal Information, we will seek such consent at the time we collect your personal information. We may also use the Personal Information we obtain about you in other ways for which we provide specific notice at the time of collection.
We and our Third Parties use various technologies to collect and store information when you visit one of our Sites or Services, and this may include using cookies or similar technologies to identify your browser or device. We also use these technologies to collect and store information when you interact with services from our Third Parties, such as advertising services. Our third-party advertising and analytics providers include Google Analytics, Salesforce, and similar partners.
The technologies we use for this automatic information collection may include:
Cookies. A cookie is a small file placed on the hard drive of your computer. You may refuse to accept browser cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser. However, if you select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of our Services.

Web Beacons. Pages of our Services or our e-mails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags and single-pixel gifs) that permit us, for example, to count Users who have visited those pages or opened an e-mail and for other related website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server integrity).

Clickstream information may include information such as the page served, the time spent viewing the page, source of the request, type of browser making the request, the preceding page viewed and similar information. Clickstream information permits us to analyze how visitors arrive at the Sites, what type of content is popular, what type of visitors in the aggregate are interested in particular kinds of content on the Sites.
Your provision of Personal Information is required in order to use certain Services and third-party programs. In some instances, if you fail to provide such Personal Information, you may not be able to access and use our Services or parts of our Services or third-party programs.
We use and retain your Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it is being processed, to carry out legitimate business interests, as well as on the basis of applicable legal requirements (such as applicable statutes of limitation).
After expiry of the applicable retention periods, your Personal Information will be deleted. If there is any information that we are unable, for technical reasons, to delete entirely from our systems, we will put in place appropriate measures to prevent any further use of such information.
All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
We may share your personal information with the following categories of recipients:
We may disclose your Personal Information for legal reasons. Specifically, we will share Personal Information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of the Fuel Rewards® Program if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to:
We attempt to notify you about legal demands for your Personal Information when appropriate in our judgment, unless prohibited by law or court order or when the request is an emergency.
We may dispute such demands when we believe, in our discretion, that the requests are overbroad, vague or lack proper authority, but we do not promise to challenge every demand.
The Fuel Rewards® Program only has operations in the United States. The Fuel Rewards® Program will transfer data within the United States and to Mexico. The information and Personal Information that we collect may be transferred to, and stored at, a location outside of your local jurisdiction. The jurisdiction where your Personal Information will be processed may or may not have laws that seek to preserve the privacy of Personal Information. Your Personal Information may also be processed by staff operating outside of your jurisdiction who work for us or for one of the organizations outlined in this Privacy Policy in connection with the activities outlined in this Privacy Policy. By submitting your Personal Information using the Sites, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps necessary to ensure that your Personal Information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We have put in place commercially reasonable technical and organizational procedures to safeguard the information and Personal Information we collect on the Sites.
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, California residents have specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes Californians’ rights and explains how California residents can exercise those rights. To help protect your privacy and maintain security, we will take steps to verify your identity before granting you access to the information.
Below we further outline specific rights which California residents may have under the California Consumer Privacy Act.
If you are a California resident who chooses to exercise your rights, you can:
You may also designate an agent to exercise your privacy rights on your behalf. In order to designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf, you must provide a valid power of attorney, the requester’s valid government-issued identification, and the authorized agent’s valid government issued identification.
Our Response to Your Request
Upon receiving your request, we will confirm receipt of your request by sending you an email. To help protect your privacy and maintain security, we may take steps to verify your identity before granting you access to the information. In some instances, such as a request to delete personal information, we may first separately confirm that you would like for us to in fact delete your personal information before acting on your request.
We will respond to your request within forty-five (45) days. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.
In some cases our ability to uphold these rights for you may depend upon our obligations to process Personal Information for security, safety, fraud prevention reasons, compliance with regulatory or legal requirements, listed below, or because processing is necessary to deliver the services you have requested. Where this is the case, we will inform you of specific details in response to your request.
We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our Service Providers to:
You may have certain choices when it comes to how we use your information and we want to provide you with information to make the choices that are right for you.

The Sites may contain links to webpages operated by parties other than the Fuel Rewards® Program. We do not control such websites and are not responsible for their contents or the privacy policies or other practices of such websites. Our inclusion of links to such websites does not imply any endorsement of the material on such websites or any association with their operators. Further, it is up to the User to take precautions to ensure that whatever links the User selects or software the User downloads (whether from this Site or other websites) is free of such items as viruses, worms, trojan horses, defects and other items of a destructive nature. These websites and services may have their own privacy policies, which the User will be subject to upon linking to the third party’s website. The Fuel Rewards® Program strongly recommends that each User review the third party’s terms and policies.
If you have any questions about the privacy practices of other websites, you should contact the relevant parties controlling these websites for more information.
The Fuel Rewards® Program maintains administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect the User’s Personal Information and other information against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use. For example, we and/or our Service Providers use commercially reasonable security measures such as encryption, firewalls, and Secure Socket Layer software (“SSL”) or hypertext transfer protocol secure (“HTTPS”) to protect Personal Information.
Although we take reasonable steps designed to protect your Personal Information, please be advised that no security system or means of transmitting information over the Internet can be guaranteed to be entirely secure (including without limitation with respect to computer viruses, malicious software and hacker attacks). We cannot and do not guarantee or warrant the security of your Personal Information or any information you disclose or transmit to us. We are not responsible for the acts of those who gain unauthorized access, and we make no warranty, express, implied or otherwise, that we will prevent such access, and we are not responsible for any damages or liabilities relating to any such incidents to the fullest extent permitted by law. Where required under law, we will notify you of any such loss, misuse or alteration of Personal Information that may affect you so that you can take the appropriate actions.
For your own privacy protection, we urge you to keep all passwords confidential. We also recommend that you do not include sensitive information such as passwords, social security numbers or payment information, in any emails that you send to us. If you become aware of any breach of the terms of this Privacy Policy or of the security of the Services, please notify us by email at privacy@fuelrewards.com.
The Fuel Rewards® Program is only intended for individuals who are 18 years old or older. Children under the age of 18 are prohibited from participating in the Fuel Rewards® Program.
The Sites are not designed or intended to be used by anyone under the age of 16. If you are under the age of 16 (or a minor in the jurisdiction in which you are accessing our Sites), do not use the Sites, or make purchases via the Sites, use any interactive features of the Sites, or post or submit any Personal Information to our Sites. We do not knowingly or intentionally gather Personal information about children who are under the age of 16. If a child has provided us with Personal Information, a parent or guardian of that child may contact us to have the information deleted from our records. If you believe that we might have any information from a child under age 16 in the applicable jurisdiction, please contact us privacy@fuelrewards.com. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected the Personal Information of a child under 16, or equivalent minimum age depending on jurisdiction, we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible and cease the use of that information in accordance with applicable law.
Our Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will not reduce your rights under this Privacy Policy without your explicit consent. We will post any privacy policy changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services or programs, email notification or privacy policy changes).

The Site is hosted on servers located in the United States of America and is intended for use by individuals and entities who are United States residents. YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND CONSENT THAT YOUR DATA MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO VARIOUS LOCATIONS AND THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS, AND MAY BE MAINTAINED AND PROCESSED ON COMPUTERS LOCATED OUTSIDE OF YOUR STATE, PROVINCE, COUNTRY, OR OTHER GOVERNMENTAL JURISDICTION WHERE THE PRIVACY LAWS MAY NOT BE AS PROTECTIVE AS THOSE IN YOUR JURISDICTION.
You may visit our Site without expressly submitting any information that can be used to identify you (“Personal Information”). However, if you wish to register as a participant in the Program, you will be required to submit Personal Information as further set forth below.
If you register in the Program, the Personal Information we collect may include your name, email, mailing address, phone number, and other information requested on the registration page. We will also collect the primary account number for the eligible credit and/or debit card(s) that you use to enroll in the Program (“Linked Card”). We do not collect your Linked Card’s expiration date or card security code. The primary account number is the 14, 15, or 16 digit number that appears on the front of your Linked Card (“Linked Card Number”). We need the Linked Card Number to monitor your Linked Card activity for transactions with participating merchants (“Participating Merchants”) that are eligible for Program rewards. Accordingly, you are authorizing us to obtain and receive information about your Linked Card transactions with Participating Merchants from a payment card network (“Payment Card Network”) such as American Express®, Mastercard®, Visa®, Discover®, or a payment card processor.
We may also collect Personal Information about you from Rewards Partner or a bank issuing a credit card on Rewards Partner’s behalf that automatically enrolls you in the Program as a benefit (collectively, “Rewards Partner Information”). If you are automatically enrolled with Rewards Network by Rewards Partner, Rewards Network will only receive, maintain and use the Rewards Partner Information that Rewards Network needs to operate the Program.
You may need to create a user name and password for your Program account with us. We may assign you a unique identification number so that we may more easily identify you and your transactions.
You have the option to also provide us with the month and day of special dates (e.g., birthday, anniversary), dining preferences, and information regarding your personal accounts and/or profiles on third-party social networking sites such as Facebook® and Twitter®, as further described below.
Additionally, we or Rewards Partner (or a non-affiliated third-party supplier, vendor, or contractor on our behalf or on behalf of the Rewards Partner) may collect Personal Information when you send us an inquiry, comment, or request relating to the Program, including any email or mailing address or telephone number you provide, and will use the information you have provided to respond. We may also add this information to your Program profile and use such information as contemplated in this Privacy Policy.
We or Rewards Partner (or a non-affiliated third-party supplier, vendor, or contractor on our behalf or on behalf of the Rewards Partner) use your Personal Information only to operate the Program, including to send you emails, mailings, or other forms of communications (that may be real-time) that relate to the Program, Participating Merchants.
You agree that we may use your Linked Card Number in connection with our operation of the Program, including determining your eligibility for rewards and applying rewards, requesting that you receive rewards, and compliance with this Privacy Policy, the Program Terms of Use and any other applicable terms and conditions. We may disclose the Linked Card Number to Rewards Partner, Payment Card Networks, payment card processors, and payment card issuers, as well as non-affiliated third-party suppliers, vendors, or contractors that we have engaged to help us operate the Program.
We will know when you conduct a transaction with a Participating Merchant. We will collect information about that transaction, including a unique Program identification number, the date and time of your transaction, the amount of your transaction, the name and location of the Participating Merchant, and the Linked Card used for that transaction. We receive this information from Payment Card Networks. We may provide all or a portion of the information collected to a Rewards Partner or a Rewards Partner’s non-affiliated third-party suppliers, vendors, or contractors so that we and/or Rewards Partner can facilitate and administer the Program. You may receive real-time notification about the sharing of your transaction data. We may also use your transaction information to generate internal financial reporting and analysis regarding our business and for external reporting of anonymized data to market our business and the Program to third parties, including potential Participating Merchants and potential rewards partners.
We use the transaction data that we receive to match your transactions at Participating Merchants with available rewards and otherwise for Program rewards administration. In some cases, a Participating Merchant’ payment card processor may experience a lag time (approximately 24 hours) between when a credit and/or debit card is linked to a Program account and when the payment card processor is able to identify and provide us with the dining transaction data associated with that Linked Card. If you believe that you are eligible for rewards for dining at a Participating Merchant, and those rewards have not registered in your Program account within 10 days of the dine, please contact the Program’ Member Services at (855) 694-3463. We reserve the right to require that you provide a receipt from the Participating Merchant or documents reasonably required by us to evidence an eligible transaction in order to receive your reward.
By enrolling in and participating in the Program, you are authorizing us and Participating Merchants, Payment Card Networks, and payment card processors to obtain, provide, and use transaction information related to your purchases (such as date, time, and amount) at Participating Merchants in order to calculate rewards, redeem rewards, and facilitate and make the Program available. You also authorize us to, in our reasonable discretion, collect location data using your device to provide you with recommendations based on your location and past dining activity, analyze your general dining patterns and stores that you visit, and also aggregate this data to help understand general Program member patterns and trends, which we may share with third parties with our discretion.
Following your matched transaction and the processing of any reward, we may send you an email to complete a survey regarding your transaction. When you activate the survey link, you will be taken to a web page operated by us. We (or a non-affiliated third-party supplier, vendor, or contractor on our behalf or on behalf of the Rewards Partner) may collect on an anonymized basis your computer’s IP address or use cookies to collect aggregated, anonymized data related to your survey responses. We may share the anonymized survey information with the applicable Participating Merchant. We may also aggregate your survey response with other survey responses for the applicable Participating Merchant and make those results available to other participants in our rewards programs.
For certain qualifying purchases, you may be required to complete the survey in order to earn rewards.
All reviews, surveys, comments, feedback, and other information about your dining experiences, Participating Merchants, or participation in the Program that you choose to disclose, submit, or convey via the Site (which we refer to collectively as “Comments”) may be reprinted, used, displayed, redistributed, shared, transmitted, excerpted, modified, and/or disseminated (in whole or in part) by us. Your Comments must comply with our Review Guidelines. We reserve the right to remove any Comments that are inappropriate.
Your provision of Comments to us constitutes a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sub-licensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, and display such Comments throughout the world in any media.
You warrant that: (i) any use of Comments by us will not violate any right of any third party; and (ii) any Comments are not libelous, unlawful, or obscene.
Got something to say?
Rewards Network® encourages its members to give our community feedback after each verified visit to a participating location. Only members who actually dined at a restaurant can submit a review.
DO: Be authentic, accurate, and relevant.
DON’T: Be offensive or accusatory.
Rewards Network reserves the right to determine if a particular review is compliant with the content guidelines and Terms and Conditions set forth by Rewards Network. Reviews that do not meet these criteria will not be posted on our website.
Reviews are anonymous – featuring only the reviewer’s first and last initial – and will appear unedited except for the neutralization of program names and rewards categories. If you prefer your feedback not appear on our website, you may opt to share the review only with the program restaurant you visited
You also may have the option to voluntarily provide us or Rewards Partner, as well as non-affiliated third-party suppliers, vendors, or contractors working on our behalf, with Personal Information in connection with participating in contests, giveaways, sweepstakes, and other promotions, or in connection with completing surveys for us. This information may be added to your member profile, and may be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy or the notice provided at the time of collection. Please review the terms and conditions for such opportunities carefully.
If your card number changes, you are responsible for updating your Linked Card in your account profile. In some cases, we may receive updated credit and/or debit card numbers associated with your Linked Card from payment card processors or Payment Card Networks. If we receive this information, we will update the Linked Card with the new credit and/or debit card number that we receive, and we will use it to operate the Program as described in this Privacy Policy.
We collect IP address information from any visitor to the Site. We log IP addresses for system administrative purposes only. IP addresses are not used for identification. This information helps us determine how often different areas of the Site are visited. We do not link IP addresses to any information that is personally identifiable.
When you visit the Site or click on a link in an e-mail from one of our Participating Merchants, we may collect usage information (“Session Data”). Session Data may include browser type and version, time zone setting, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system, platform, and what Participating Merchants you look at. We may use Session Data for a variety of reasons, including to better understand things like how the Site is navigated, how many visitors arrive at and look at specific pages, and the length and frequency of stays at our Site. We disclose such Session Data to our Participating Merchants to provide proof of attribution metrics.
We may have the ability to collect location data and provide you with push notifications based on your location and past dining activity. We utilize location information to provide you with more relevant location-based restaurant choices, track your general dining patterns and stores that you visit, and also aggregate this data to help understand general Program member patterns and trends, which we may share with third parties in our discretion. You are agreeing that we can collect and use your location data and can continue to do so until you turn off your location settings.
Your device may allow you to disable the collection of location data and push notifications by accessing your device’s application or notification settings. If you do not want us to have access to your location, you may change your location settings. You are agreeing that we can to collect location data until you turn off data collection in your device. We have no responsibility or liability for the functions of location settings within any device.

We do not sell Personal Information to any third party and we will not, without your prior express consent, disclose your Personal Information to any third party for them to market to you directly. For example, we may invite you to participate in a survey or special promotional program offered by a non-affiliated third party. Your choice to participate in such a survey or promotional program will indicate your consent for us to share your Personal Information with non-affiliated third parties in connection with the survey or promotional program. If you consent to such disclosure, any information that you provide to the third parties will be controlled by that party's privacy policy, not this Privacy Policy.
We or Rewards Partner may disclose information that we may have, identifiable or not, as necessary for defending and bringing legal actions; if required by a government authority or legal process; when we or Rewards Partner believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation or prosecution of suspected or actual illegal activity; or in the good faith belief that disclosure is otherwise necessary or advisable.
By using this Site, you agree that we may collect, use, and disclose any information collected on this Site (as described in this Privacy Policy) for any purpose not prohibited by this Privacy Policy, applicable law, or an applicable agreement.
We may share anonymized information about you that is not reasonably identifiable to you with our affiliates, rewards partners, Participating Merchants, and other third parties in our discretion. Such information could be used, for example, to provide us with statistical or other analysis and to market our business, the Program or both. This information is de-identified and cannot reasonably be used to identify you personally. This information is most often aggregated demographic and statistical information (such as information derived from use of our Site or your participation in any Program) and information submitted in connection with restaurant reviews or surveys that you submit to us.
We reserve the right to transfer all information and data in our possession, custody, or control to a successor organization in the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or other sale of all or a portion of our assets. Any acquirer will remain subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
The Site utilizes plugins from various social networking sites (such as Facebook® and Twitter®) to allow you to share and post materials between your Program account with us and your social network accounts. Social networks may use cookies and other tools to collect data regarding your browsing activity. Please be advised that your browser-related information and personal information collected in connection with your use of the social media plug-ins will be transferred to such social networking sites and will be used in accordance with each social networking site’s privacy policy. Your browser-related information may be transferred regardless of whether or not you use the plugin.
If you give us permission to use and post information about your restaurant visits, restaurant reviews, and other activities on our social networking accounts or your social networking accounts, usage of that social network site is governed by and subject to the privacy policy of that third-party social network site and any privacy settings that are available on that third-party site.
We neither own nor control any third-party sites that may be accessible through the Site, and do not control the privacy policies of such third parties. As a result, we assume no responsibility or liability for the actions of such third parties. We suggest that you review the privacy policy of any third-party site before submitting information to them.
You may opt out of receiving Program emails from us. However, doing so will affect your eligibility for all or some Program benefits. You may not opt out of receiving administrative emails related to your account except by terminating your Program participation.
If you do not wish to receive email communications from us, you can unsubscribe from the link in the email you received, change your selections within the Account Information section, or indicate your preferences within a direct communication to us. You may also email us if you wish to unsubscribe, but for your security, please do not send credit and/or debit card information via email.
Because there is not an industry or legal standard for recognizing or honoring Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals, we do not respond to them at this time.
We retain your information as long as we determine it is required for the operation of our business and Program, and to meet legal, regulatory, and other requirements.
We take reasonable steps to ensure that information is disposed of securely when we no longer require such data.
We take commercially reasonable steps to maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your information. These safeguards may include data encryption, access authorization, firewalls, and physical access control to our data centers. We use industry-standard encryption technologies when transferring and receiving identifiable information. We maintain PCI DSS compliance. You can find our listing on the Visa Global Registry of Service Providers.
We maintain a Service Organization Control (SOC) 3 report. This assessment of our security practices enables you and your stakeholders to validate that we have obtained independent auditor assurance, which attests to our alignment with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Security Trust Principles. We may elect in the future to assess our security practices through a standard other than SOC, and we will in any case maintain and routinely test our controls related to the security, integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of the information we collect, store, and process.
Rewards Network and the Program will never ask you for personal information, including financial information, via unsolicited telephone calls, emails, postal mailers, or fax transmissions.
Specifically, Rewards Network and the Program will never send you unsolicited requests for the following types of Personal Information: (i) username or password; (ii) email address; (iii) social security number; (iv) credit and/or debit card number; (v) credit card expiration date or card security code; (vi) bank account numbers; or (vii) names of your family members. This list is provided for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to include all categories of information that may be the subject of an unsolicited request for Personal Information.
Any request for personal information of this nature in a conversation not initiated by you should be considered suspicious, even if the communication includes Rewards Network or the Program logos, links to websites that look “like” the Program, or a request for you to take immediate action, such as verifying your account information. Unsolicited communications of this type are often fraudulent “phishing” communications, and could be an attempt to acquire your sensitive personal information for malicious reasons.
In order to protect your Personal Information, Rewards Network complies with the security standards (PCI DSS) required by the PCI Security Standards Council.
The Council was founded in 2006 by five prominent payment brands — including American Express®, Discover Financial Services®, JCB International®, Mastercard®, and Visa, Inc.®. This global forum is responsible for the development, management, education, and awareness of security standards for credit and debit cards.
PCI DSS applies to all entities involved in payment card processing. This includes retailers where consumer purchases are made, payment card processors, credit card issuers, and service providers. Rewards Network continually reviews its payment card security practices to ensure that those practices satisfy the requirements of the most current version of the PCI DSS compliance standards.
If you suspect that you have received a phishing or other type of fraudulent communication, you should not: (i) click on any links in the offending email; (ii) open any attachments related to the communication; (iii) call any telephone numbers provided in the communication; or (iv) follow instructions contained in the communication. If the phishing or other fraudulent communication purports to be associated with the Program, you should report the communication to Rewards Network by sending an email to security@rewardsnetwork.com. You should attach the unsolicited communication to your email report. If you received the communication by postal mail, rather than by email, you should photograph any mailer, letter, and envelope received and attach those materials to the email report that you send to Rewards Network.
You can contact us (by email, telephone, or postal mail) to request access and/or modify any information that we have for you, or otherwise modify your preferences pertaining to our marketing communications. To review, change, or update your information:
To protect your privacy and security, we will take commercially reasonable steps to verify your identity before making corrections or granting access to your information.
