    Del Taco may use and disclose your Sensitive Personal Information for purposes other than those provided for under California Privacy Law. In such instances, you have the right, subject to certain exceptions, to limit how Del Taco uses and discloses your Sensitive Personal Information.
    Once you make a limit request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to reauthorize the use or disclosure of your Sensitive Personal Information for purposes other than those for which you exercised your right to limit.

    How to Exercise Your California Privacy Law Rights

    To exercise the rights described above, please submit a request to us by:
    
    • Calling our toll free number: (800) 852-7204
    • Sending us a request through our online request portal
    
    To exercise your right to know, delete, or correct your Personal Information as described above, we need to verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you. Only you, your parent, guardian (if you are under 13 years of age), conservator, a person to whom you have given power of attorney pursuant to California Probate Code sections 4000 to 4465, or an authorized agent 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 to access your Personal Information 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 will consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified if the request relates to Personal Information associated with that specific account.
    
    

    Response Timing and Format for California Privacy Law Requests

    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 California Privacy Law, 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. 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 California Privacy Law, 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 2023 will receive information about 2022 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.
    
    

    Data Retention

    We may retain all categories of your Personal Information described above for as long as needed to carry out the purposes described herein or as otherwise required by applicable law. Unless we are required or permitted by law to keep your Personal Information for a longer period of time, when your Personal Information is no longer necessary to carry out the purposes for which we process it, we will delete your Personal Information or keep it in a form that does not permit identifying you. When determining the retention period, we take into account various criteria, such as the nature of the use of our Services, your general relationship with us, the impact on our ability to provide you Services if we delete your Personal Information, mandatory retention periods provided by law and the statute of limitations, and our use of your Personal Information for aggregated market research.
    
    

    Notice of Financial Incentive

    We may offer you various incentives, including special offers, discounts, rewards and coupons pursuant to certain rewards and loyalty programs (each, a "Rewards Program"), throughout the year for providing us with your Personal Information. Categories of Personal Information that may be collected pursuant to a Rewards Program, include, but are not limited to: identifiers such as name, postal address, email address and telephone number; categories of Personal Information described in the California Customer Records statute, and commercial information.
    We do not assign a monetary value to the data we collect, but based on a good-faith estimate, we believe the value received from your Personal Information is reasonably equal to the value of the benefit we offer you pursuant to a Rewards Program. This estimate is not specific to any specific individual who participates in a Rewards Program (a "Member") and may vary by Member. We have calculated such value by taking into consideration, without limitation, relevant factors related to the estimated value of such information to us, as set forth under California Privacy Law.
    If eligible, you may opt in to a Rewards Program by following the instructions set forth in a Rewards Program’s terms and conditions and, if applicable, by creating a member account on the Rewards Program’s website. Material terms of participating in a Rewards Program, including all terms and conditions concerning the collection, use and retention of a Member’s Personal Information, the required arbitration of any disputes Members have, and the waiver of Members’ ability to bring claims in class action format, are set forth in the applicable terms and conditions, this Privacy Policy, and/or our Terms of Service and should be carefully reviewed prior to participation in a Rewards Program.
    You have the right to cancel your membership and participation in a Rewards Program at any time. To opt out of a Rewards Program, including the receipt of marketing emails provided pursuant to your status as a Member of a Rewards Program, please click here.
