3. SHARING OF DATA

The following provides data about entities with which we may share data

Our practices vary depending on the type of data and sharing. Affiliates. We may share data within our family of affiliated companies so that we may provide offers from those companies that may be relevant to you, better understand your preferences, and improve our Services.

Franchisees

We may share data with local owners of Burger King® and Tim Hortons® restaurants, particularly when they will work with us in delivering Services to you.

These companies may collect or receive certain data about your use of the Services, including through the use of cookies, beacons, and similar technologies, and this data may be combined with data collected across different websites and online services in order to deliver ads that are more relevant to you, both on and off our Services.

Other Parties When Required or Permitted by Law, or As Necessary to Protect Our Users and Services

We and our service providers (including affiliates) may use and share your personal data as we believe is necessary or appropriate to protect, enforce, or defend the legal rights, privacy, safety, or property of the Services, our employees or agents or users, to detect, suppress or prevent fraud or where otherwise required or permitted by applicable law or legal process, including responding to a search warrant or other legally valid requests from public and government authorities (which may include lawful access by U.S., Canadian, or other governmental authorities, courts or law enforcement agencies).

Other Parties in Connection With a Corporate Transaction

We reserve the right to transfer any data we have about you in the event that we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets to a third party, such as in the event of a merger, acquisition, or in connection with a bankruptcy reorganization.

4. ONLINE ADVERTISING AND COOKIES

We and other companies that provide advertising and other services on our Services may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to facilitate administration and navigation, to better understand and improve our Services, to determine and improve the advertising shown to you here or elsewhere, and to provide you with a customized online experience.

Interest-Based Advertisements

We may use third parties to serve advertisements on our Services and on other websites and digital platforms. These companies may use cookies, web beacons or other technologies to report certain data about your visits to our Services and other websites (such as web pages you visit and your response to ads) in order to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and to deliver ads that are more relevant to you, both on and off our Services. To learn more and to opt-out of having your data used by these companies for online behavioral advertising purposes, please see “Choices with Respect to Interest-Based Advertisements” below. We may also use services provided by third parties (such as social media platforms) to serve targeted ads to you and others on such platforms. We may do this by providing a hashed version of your email address or other data to the platform provider.

Cookies

“Cookies” are small files that are placed on your computer when you visit a website. Cookies may be used to store a unique identification number tied to your computer or device so that you can be recognized as the same user across one or more browsing sessions, and across one or more sites. Cookies serve many useful purposes. For example:

• Cookies can remember your sign-in credentials so you do not have to enter those credentials each time you visit a Service
• Cookies can help us and third parties understand which parts of our Services are the most popular because they help us see which pages and features visitors’ access and how much time they spend on the pages. By studying this kind of data, we are better able to adapt our Services and provide you with a better experience.
• Cookies help us and third parties understand which ads you have seen so that you don’t receive the same ad each time you access a Service.

Most browsers accept cookies automatically but can be configured not to do so. If you wish to disable cookies, refer to your browser help menu to learn how to disable cookies. If you disable cookies, it may interfere with the functioning of the Services.

Beacons

We, along with third parties, also may use technologies called beacons (or “pixels”) that communicate data from your device to a server. Beacons can be embedded in online content, videos, and emails, and can allow a server to read certain types of data from your device, know when you have viewed particular content or a particular email message, determine the time and date on which you viewed the beacon, and the IP address of your device. We and third parties use beacons for a variety of purposes, including to analyze the use of our Services and (in conjunction with cookies) to provide content and ads that are more relevant to you both on and off the Service.

Local Storage & Other Tracking Technologies

We, along with third parties, may use other kinds of technologies, such as Local Shared Objects (also referred to as “Flash cookies”) and HTML5 local storage, in connection with our Services. These technologies are similar to the cookies discussed above in that they are stored on your device and can be used to store certain data about your activities and preferences. However, these technologies may make use of different parts of your device from standard cookies, and so you might not be able to control them using standard browser tools and settings. For HTML5 local storage, the method for disabling HTML5 will vary depending on your browser. For Flash cookies, data about disabling or deleting data contained in Flash cookies can be found here.

Do-Not-Track Signals and Similar Mechanisms

Some web browsers may transmit “do-not-track” signals to the websites with which the user communicates. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they even are aware of them. Because there currently is no industry standard concerning what, if anything, websites should do when they receive such signals, the Services currently do not take action in response to these signals. If and when a final standard is established and accepted, we will reassess how to respond to these signals.

5. PRIVACY AND ACCESS CHOICES AVAILABLE TO YOU

Choices With Respect To Cookies and Similar Technologies

You may block cookies and similar technologies in your browser or device settings, as and if permitted by such device.

Choices With Respect To Interest-Based Advertising

6. DATA SECURITY AND OTHER IMPORTANT DATA

We have in place physical, electronic and managerial procedures to protect personal data in our custody and control against loss, theft and unauthorized access, use, modification and disclosure. However, as effective as these measures are, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our Services, nor can we guarantee that the data you provide will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet.

7. OTHER IMPORTANT DATA

Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect any personal data from children under the age of 13 without parental consent, unless permitted by law. If we learn that a child under the age of 13 has provided us with personal data, we will delete it in accordance with applicable law.
