Privacy Policy

Last Updated: April 29, 2021

Which Wich, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (“Which Wich,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) value your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes our privacy practices regarding the use of information that we collect from you and that you share with us when you visit Which Wich’s websites (each a “Site” and collectively the “Sites”), mobile applications (each an “App” and collectively the “Apps”), and the services available through our Sites and Apps including, but not limited to, the administration of our loyalty program “Vibe ClubTM Rewards” and Project PB&J, an initiative of the nonprofit Which Wich Cares Foundation (collectively, the “Services”). This Privacy Policy only applies to the Sites, Apps, and Services and does not apply to any websites or mobile applications operated or owed by any Which Wich franchisee or any third-party applications or social media platforms you may access through the Sites, Apps, or Services.

By using any of our Sites, Apps, or Services, you agree to the collection and use of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our Privacy Policy, do not use the Sites, Apps, or Services. This Privacy Policy may change from time to time and will be posted here with the “Last Updated” date above. Your continued use of the Sites, Apps, and Services after we make changes to our Privacy Policy is an acceptance by you of the Privacy Policy including any changes, so please check this Privacy Policy periodically for any updates.

  1. Information We Collect

The type of information we collect from you depends on your interaction with us and your use of our Sites, Apps, and Services but may include information by which you can be personally identified such as your name, address, email address, telephone number, date of birth, payment information, or any other information the Sites, or Apps collect that is defined as personal or personally identifiable information under applicable law (“Personal Information”). Generally, Personal Information that you provide through the Sites or Apps is information we may seek to provide the Services including online ordering, online purchases, administration of our loyalty program, to enhance our customers’ experience, and respond to your requests.

We generally do not require your Personal Information to visit and view the Sites and Apps. However, you may be required to register for an account with us and provide your Personal Information to use the Services, such as placing orders, making purchases, providing feedback through the Sites or Apps, or to register for our loyalty program. While you are not required to provide your Personal Information, you may not be able to participate in certain Services or access certain areas of the Sites or Apps if you choose not to provide your Personal Information.

1.1 Service Providers

We may also receive Personal Information about you from our service providers who collect your information on our behalf to operate, maintain, or improve the Sites and Apps, facilitate your interaction with the Services. If a service provider collects user data on our behalf, that information is governed by this Privacy Policy. We require our service providers to maintain the confidentiality of the personal information they collect on our behalf and use it only to facilitate, improve, or provide information about the Services.

1.2 Payment Information

If you register with us or make purchases through the Sites or App, we or our service providers may collect and store your payment information needed to process your transaction. We may also collect additional Personal Information such as your postal code, mobile number, and details of your transaction history which are required to provide the Services. Payment processors usually provide us with limited information about you to enable you to make future purchases using the information they have stored. The information collected during credit card transactions is not released to third parties.

BY ACCEPTING OUR PRIVACY POLICY, YOU EXPRESSLY AUTHORIZE US TO USE AND SHARE THE INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE WITH OUR SERVICE PROVIDERS, WHICH MAY BE LOCATED OUTSIDE OF YOUR COUNTRY OF RESIDENCE, EVEN IF SUCH INFORMATION IS COVERED BY LOCAL BANKING LAWS AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE YOUR RIGHTS UNDER SUCH BANKING LAWS WITH REGARD TO US AND ANY OF OUR SERVICE PROVIDERS. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE SHARING OF SUCH INFORMATION IS NECESSARY TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES AND THIS CONSENT IS GIVEN FOR THE DURATION OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH US.

1.3 Automatic Information Collection and Tracking

When you use the Sites, Apps, or Services, we may use technology that collects information about how you access and use the Services which may be combined with other information we have collected about you. The information that we may collect includes:

  • Information about your use of the Services, including order history, browsing behavior, traffic data, location data as allowed by your browser and mobile device settings;

1.4 Tracking Technologies

The technologies we use for automatic information collection may include cookies or mobile cookies—small files placed on your smartphone or device. You may be able to refuse to accept these mobile cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your smartphone; however, if you select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of the Sites, Apps, or Services. Some features of the Sites, Apps, or Services may use locally stored objects or Flash cookies to collect and store information about your preferences and navigation to, from, and on the Sites, Apps, or Services. For example, to recognize your device when you return to the Sites or Apps or otherwise use the Services. Flash cookies are not managed by the same browser settings as browser cookies.

The Sites, Apps, Services, or our automated emails may also contain small electronic files called web beacons (also known as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifts) that permit us to count users who have visited pages within the Sites or Apps, or opened an email, and collect other related application statistics such as recording the popularity of certain application content and verifying system and server integrity.

1.5 Your Mobile Device

We may also ask you to voluntarily provide information through or about your mobile device or require access to certain applications on your mobile device to offer additional features through the Sites, Apps, or Services. Acceptance of this Privacy Policy does not mean you have granted us permission to access this information. We will ask your permission before accessing such information and providing such information is not required to use the Services. If you grant us permission to access these applications, it does not mean that you are granting us unlimited access to that information. We will only access applications and content that you specifically choose to share.

1.6 Submissions

Through your use of the Sites, Apps, and Services, you may provide other types of information that we collect including information submitted through comments, feedback forms, requests for information, and other correspondence. We also collect information you submit related to potential employment with Which Wich.

We may also ask you to provide additional information if you enter a sweepstakes, contest, or promotion (“Promotions”) sponsored by us. A Promotion may be held under a privacy policy or terms and conditions that are in addition to or separate from this Privacy Policy. If the terms of the Promotion’s privacy policy or terms of use conflict with this Privacy Policy, those additional or separate provisions will control.

1.7 Third Party Applications

If you choose to interact with these platforms or third-party applications, we may receive anonymous aggregated information related to your activity on the platforms and applications, in addition to information about your publicly available activity including posts and reactions on social media platforms. We may use cookies, widgets, and other technology to collect this information. Any collection and use of data by these third-party websites, applications, or social media platforms is governed by the privacy policy of those third parties and we are not responsible for the privacy practices, policies, or content of any such third-party websites.
