We receive and store information, including items and services purchased, with the date and time of the transaction, for in-store or online purchases.

OUR USE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES

Information our servers automatically collect when you access Hobees.com, such as your IP address, your browser type, your operating system, your access times, and the pages you have viewed directly before and after accessing Hobees.com.

COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES THAT WE USE

We may use cookies, beacons, embedded scripts, local shared objects, tracking pixels, pixel tags, and other tracking technologies to help customize and improve your experience in connection with Hobees.com.

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or device when you visit our website. Cookies allow a website to recognize a particular device or browser. The use of cookies is a standard practice among websites to collect information about visitors’ activities while using the website.

Beacons are a programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the website, such as links on which you click. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your computer or device from our web service or a third-party service provider, is active only while you are connected to the site, and is deactivated or deleted thereafter.

The above technologies are used in analyzing trends, administrating the website, services and products, using users’ movements around the site and in-store and gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these companies on an individual as well as an aggregate basis.

We use cookies to remember users’ settings, market products and services to users, and for authentication purposes. To manage cookies that are placed on your computer, you may configure your internet browser to refuse, accept or delete cookies from our website at any time. Most browsers are set to accept cookies by default. You can remove or reject cookies, but be aware that such action could affect the availability and functionality of the Hobee’s California Restaurant website.

Note that your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” to websites and online services you visit. There is no consensus among industry participants as to what “Do Not Track” means in this context. Like many websites and online services, Hobee’s California Restaurants does not alter its practices when it receives a “Do Not Track” signal from a visitor’s browser. To find out more about “Do Not Track”, you may wish to visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.

Information collected from our partners: We may also partner with selected third-party vendors including Facebook Ads and Google Ads to allow tracking technologies and remarketing services on the Hobee’s California Restaurant website through the use of first-party cookies and third-party cookies to, among other things, analyze and track users’ use of the Hobee’s California Restaurant website, determine the popularity of certain content and better understand online activity such as your browsing activities and interests. We share personal information with companies who provide services such as information and payment processing, delivering products to you and providing customer service. These companies are obligated to protect your information.

We do not transfer personal information to these third-party vendors. By accessing the Hobee’s California Restaurant website, you consent to the collection and use of your personal information by these third-party vendors. You are encouraged to review their privacy policy and contact them directly for responses to your questions.

As is true of most internet services, we gather some information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type and language, Internet service provider, referring and exit websites and applications, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information to analyze trends, to administer the site, to learn about user behavior on the site, to improve our product and services, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. Hobee’s California Restaurants may use this information in our marketing and advertising services.

Inside of our email messages, we use a “click-through” URL link to content on the Hobee’s California Restaurant website. When customers click one of these URLs, they are passed through a separate Web server before arriving at the destination page on our website. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you should not click text or graphic links in email messages. Pixel tags enable us to send email messages in a format a customer can read, and they tell us whether mail has been opened. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to customers.

DISCLOSURES TO THIRD PARTIES

Hobee’s California Restaurants shares personal information with companies who provide services such as information and payment processing, delivering products to you and providing customer service. These companies are obligated to protect your information.

Additionally, it may be necessary – by law, legal process, litigation, and/or requests from public and governmental authorities within or outside your country of residence – for Hobee’s California Restaurants to disclose your personal information. We may also disclose information about you, only where there is a lawful basis in doing so, if we determine that disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce the terms and conditions or to protect our operations or users. Additionally, in the event of a reorganization, merger, or sale, we may transfer any and all personal information we collect to the relevant third party.
