    • Embedded Scripts. An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Services, such as the links on which you click.

    • Social Media Plug-Ins. Del Taco may offer social media plug-ins for companies that include Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, YouTube and Instagram.

    We do not sell your Personal Information; however, we may share your Personal Information as described in the Section above titled "Disclosure of Your Personal Information." Like many organizations, Del Taco engages third parties to help us deliver internet-based advertisements to you and may make use of third-party tracking technologies or other online marketing services. In doing so, we may make available or transfer your Personal Information (e.g., identifiers such as IP address, geolocation data, and Internet, application, or other similar network activity) to third parties, such as advertising agencies, advertising services, sponsored content providers, social media platforms and other similar technology companies. Making such Personal Information available to these entities may constitute a "sale" of data under the CCPA. Please see your "California Privacy Rights" and "Your Rights and Choices" for more information on how you can adjust your preferences.

    • Your Rights and Choices

    Under the CCPA, California consumers have the following rights, which can be exercised directly or in certain cases, through an authorized agent (as discussed below in the "How to Exercise Your CCPA Rights" subsection):

    Right to Know About Personal Information Collected, Disclosed, or Sold
    You have the right to request that we provide certain information to you about our collection and use of your Personal Information over the past twelve (12) months. Specifically, you have the right to request disclosure of the categories of Personal Information and specific pieces of Personal Information we have collected about you over the last 12 months. Upon the submission of a verifiable consumer requests, we will disclose to you:

    • The categories of Personal Information we collected about you;
    • The categories of sources from which Personal Information was collected;
    • The business or commercial purpose for collecting Personal Information; and
    • The Categories of third parties with whom we sold or disclosed the category of Personal Information for a business purpose.

    We will also provide the specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you, subject to certain exceptions under applicable law, if you also requests access to such information.

    Right to Request Deletion of Personal Information
    If you are a California resident, you also have the right to request that we delete any of your Personal Information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will conduct a reasonable search of our records in order to locate any Personal Information we have collected about you that is eligible for deletion, and delete such Personal Information. To the extent we have shared any Personal Information collected about you with service providers that is eligible for deletion, we will direct those service providers to delete that Personal Information as well. Del Taco may not be able to comply entirely with your request to delete all of your Personal Information as set forth under the CCPA. Specifically, we are not required to delete any Personal Information we have collected about you that is necessary for us and our service provider(s) to:
    • Complete the transaction for which the Personal Information was collected, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, provide a good or service requested by you, or reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform a contract between Del Taco and you.
    • Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; or prosecute those responsible for that activity.
    • Debug to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
    • Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise his or her right of free speech, or exercise another right provided for by law.
    • Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act pursuant to Chapter 3.6 (commencing with Section 1546) of Title 12 of Part 2 of the Penal Code.
    • Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when our deletion of the information is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of such research, if you have provided informed consent.
    • Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with your expectations based on your relationship with us.
    • Comply with a legal obligation, such as retaining records for a period of time as set out in local, state, or federal laws.
    • Otherwise use your Personal Information, internally, in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which you provided your information.

    Right to Opt Out of Sales of Personal Information
    You have the right to opt out of the sale of their Personal Information, and to request information about whether we have sold their Personal Information in the past twelve (12) months. We do not sell Personal Information, and we have not done so in the last year. Should this change, we will notify users and provide an ability to opt out as required.

    Right to Non-Discrimination
    We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights. Unless permitted by applicable law, we will not:
    • Deny you goods or services.
    • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
    • Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
    • Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

    How to Exercise Your CCPA Rights
    To exercise the rights described above, please submit a request to us by:
    • Toll free number: 800-628-1386, ext. 6166
    • Sending us a request through the California Consumer Privacy Act Contact Form

    Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information. You may, however, make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child if necessary. Additionally, you may only make a verifiable consumer request for access twice within a 12-month period. Your verifiable consumer request must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you. We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. However, we would consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified if the request relates to Personal Information associated with that specific account.
    • Your Rights and Choices

    We will make our best effort to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. Within ten (10) days of receiving the request, we will confirm receipt and provide information about its verification and processing of the request. We will maintain records of consumer requests made pursuant to the CCPA as well as our response to said requests for a period of at least twenty-four (24) months.
    If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the receipt of your request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
    We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

    Shine the Light
    In addition to your rights under the CCPA, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits California residents to request information regarding our disclosure, if any, of their Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. If this applies, you may obtain the categories of Personal Information shared and the names and addresses of all third parties that received Personal Information for their direct marketing purposes during the immediately prior calendar year (e.g., requests made in 2020 will receive information about 2019 sharing activities). To make such a request, please provide sufficient information for us to determine if this applies to you, attest to the fact that you are a California resident and provide a current California address for our response.
    To make such a request, please contact us at Del Taco LLC, 25521 Commercentre Drive, Lake Forest, California 92360; (800) 852-7204.
