Reviews
The Services include customer reviews. You should be aware that any information or content you post in a review may be available to others and may be retrievable by third-party search engines, and third parties may also be able to download or share your reviews to social media websites or elsewhere. We recommend that you guard your privacy and anonymity and not upload any information in your review that you wish to remain confidential. Any third party with access to your information via your review will be permitted to use the information in the same manner as if you submitted the information directly to that third party. Publicly posting any information in a review is entirely voluntary on your part, and we recommend you carefully consider the information you choose to make publicly available.

To request removal of your personal information from our customer reviews, contact us at [email protected]. In some cases, we may not be able to remove your personal information, in which case we will let you know if we are unable to do so and why. Additionally, removal of your information from our customer reviews may not remove the information from other third party search engines, social media, websites, or elsewhere.

Precise Geolocation Information
We may collect information about the precise location of your device (e.g., GPS latitude and longitude), consistent with your device settings. We may also use location-based technology in our retail locations, to collect information about the presence of your device, if your Bluetooth is turned on and your device settings allow for this. We may collect this location information or derive it from your GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth or other location-based technology for purposes of facilitating our services, such as to provide you with information about stores near you or to support and improve our loyalty programs. Without this information, we may not be able to provide you with all the requested services.

Social Media Widgets
The Services include social media features, such as the Facebook Like button. These features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our website, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on the Services. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the social media platform providing it. Any information, data, or other content obtained from or through a social media platform (“Platform Data”) may be deleted or modified by contacting us at [email protected] or through the social media platform itself. We may also delete Platform Data if requested directly by the social media platform.

Third Party Websites
The Services may provide links to websites operated by third parties for your convenience and information. All of these websites and applications operate independently from us, and we do not control their privacy practices. City BBQ does not endorse or make any representations or warranties concerning, and will not in any way be liable for, any informational content, products, services, software, or other materials available on an external website, even if one or more pages of the external website are framed within a page of this Service. City BBQ is not responsible for the privacy practices of any external website. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites and applications that you use to better understand their privacy practices.

Third Party Cookie Integration
We may use third party companies to provide advertising services and/or to collect certain information when you visit and interact with our website. These third-party companies may collect and use non-personally identifiable information (e.g., click stream information, browser type, time and date, subject of advertisements clicked or scrolled over) during your visit to this website [and/or other websites] in order to provide advertisements about goods and services likely to be of greater interest to you. These third-party companies may use cookies and other technologies to recognize your browser to collect and record information about your web surfing activity including your activities on this website. You may visit the Network Advertising Initiative, www.networkadvertising.org/choices or the Digital Advertising Alliance, http://www.aboutads.info/, to learn more about interest-based advertising, or to opt out of receiving advertisements tailored to your interests on your browser, from their respective members and participants.

How We Protect Personal Information
We maintain reasonable security procedures to help protect against loss, misuse, or unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of the personal information you provide through the Services.

Among other safeguards, we use Secure Sockets Layer ("SSL") technology to help protect transmissions over the internet of your payment card data.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet or stored on a server can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you disclose or transmit to us online and cannot be responsible for the theft, destruction, or inadvertent disclosure of your personal information. The safety and security of your personal information also depends on you. You are responsible for maintaining the security and confidentiality of your personal information.

If you prefer to not transmit your credit card number over the internet, you can contact us using the toll-free number listed on the website from which you want to order. If you have any questions regarding security, you can contact us at [email protected].

We will notify you in the event we become aware of a security breach involving your personally identifiable information (as defined by the applicable state and federal laws) stored by or for us. By disclosing your email address or mobile telephone number to us for any reason, you expressly consent to receive electronic notice from us in the event of such a security breach.

Updates to Our Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to modify the Privacy Policy at any time. If we do this, we will post the revised policy on this page and will indicate the date that it will become effective. We will attempt to give you advance notice of any substantive changes, but we reserve the right to make such modifications immediately, if required. It is your responsibility to check to determine if there have been changes to the Privacy Policy and to review such changes. If we make any material changes, we will notify you by email (sent to the e-mail address specified in your account) or by means of a prominent notice on this website prior to the change becoming effective. Changes to the Privacy Policy will become effective and will apply to the information collected starting on the date we post the revised Privacy Policy on the Service. Your continued use of the Service after any change has become effective will constitute your acceptance of any change.

Children's Privacy
Our Services are not directed to and not intended for persons under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with personal information without their consent, he or she should contact us via the contact details listed below. If we become aware that a child under 16 has provided us with personal information, we will delete such information from our files.
