Definitions Specific to this Policy

“Consumer” means a natural person who resides in California, Colorado, Virginia, Utah and Connecticut and to whom we offer information, goods, or services. For purposes of this Supplemental Policy, this term includes natural persons who reside in California and engage with us as part of business-to-business transactions.

“Personal Information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular Consumer or household. Personal Information includes “personal data” as that term is defined in the CPA, VCDPA, UCPA, and CDPA. Personal Information also includes “Sensitive Personal Information,” as defined below.

“Sensitive Personal Information” means Personal Information that reveals a Consumer’s: 1) Social security, driver’s license, state identification card, or passport number; 2) Account log-in, financial account number, debit card number, or credit card number in combination with any required security or access code, password, or credentials allowing access to the individual’s account; 3) Precise geolocation; 4) Racial or ethnic origin; 5) Religious beliefs; 6) Union membership; 7) Contents of email or text messages, unless we are the intended recipient; 8) Genetic data; 9) Biometric information used to uniquely identify the Consumer, and 10) Health, sex life, or sexual orientation. Sensitive Personal Information includes “sensitive data” as that term is defined in the CPA, VCDPA, UCPA, and CDPA.

“Sell,” “Sale,” or “Sold” means renting, releasing, or transferring an individual’s Personal Information to a Third Party for money or other valuable consideration.

“Share,” “Shared,” or “Sharing” means transferring an individual’s Personal Information to a Third Party for behavioral advertising purposes, whether or not for money or other valuable consideration.

“Third Party” means a person or organization which is not a Consumer, Vendor, or an entity owned or controlled by us and as defined by the CCPA, CPA, VCDPA, UCPA, and CDPA.

“Vendor” means a “service provider,” “contractor,” or “processor” which collects, stores, or otherwise handles data for us, as those terms are defined in the CCPA, CPA, VCDPA, UCPA, and CDPA.

These definitions apply, whether terms are capitalized or not. Other terms used in this Supplemental Policy may be defined under the CCPA, CPA, VCDPA, UCPA, or CDPA, and they shall have the meanings described in those statutes. If there are variations between such definitions in different laws, you will be covered by the definition that applies in your state. For example, if you are a Virginia consumer, terms defined in the VCDPA shall apply to you if they are used in this Supplemental Policy.

We consider the following criteria when determining how long to retain personal information: why we collected the personal information; the nature of the personal information; the sensitivity of the personal information; our legal obligations related to the personal information, and risks associated with retaining the personal information.

Your Rights to Your Personal Information

California, Colorado, Virginia, Utah, and Connecticut consumers have certain rights with respect to the collection and use of their personal information. Those rights vary by state. As required by the CCPA, we provide detailed information below regarding the data subject rights available to California consumers. Consumers in Colorado, Virginia, Utah, and Connecticut have similar rights and can find more detail by referencing the CPA, VCDPA, UCPA, or CDPA, as applicable.

You have the right to submit requests related to the personal information we have collected about you. You may make such a request twice in a 12-month span. Please note, there are circumstances when we may not be able to comply with your request. For example, we may not be able to verify your request or we may find that providing a full response conflicts with other legal obligations or regulatory requirements. We will notify you if this is the case.

You have the right to opt-out of the sale and sharing of your personal information with Third Parties, and the right to opt out of the processing of personal information for targeted advertising purposes, as defined in the CCPA, CPA, VCDPA, UCPA, and CDPA.

We sell and share personal information, or process personal information for targeted advertising purposes. In the past 12 months, we have sold or shared the categories of consumer personal information as listed in this Supplemental Policy. As a consumer, you have the right to opt-out of the sale and/or sharing of your personal information and of the processing of personal information for the purpose of targeted advertising.

To submit an opt-out request, please click here or follow the “Instructions to Exercise Your Rights,” below. We do not knowingly sell or share personal information of consumers under 16 years of age. If you opt-out of the sale of your personal information, we will wait at least 12 months before asking you if we may sell or share your personal information.

You have the right to opt-in to the sale of your personal information after you have opted out. If you would like to opt-in to the sale or sharing of your personal information, please email us at info@fivestarfranchising.com or call us at 855-550-0900. Opting-in is a two-step process in which you will first clearly request to opt-in, and then separately confirm that choice.

Separately, you have the right in CA to instruct us to limit the use and disclosure of your Sensitive Personal Information to only that which is necessary to perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected by an average consumer or for specific business purposes defined by law. We do not use Sensitive Personal Information for purposes beyond those authorized by the CCPA, or beyond your consent.

Right to Non-discrimination.

You have a right to exercise the above rights, and we will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights. Please note that a legitimate denial of a request to access, delete, or opt-out is not discriminatory, nor is charging a fee for excessive or repetitive requests.
