The Services are not directed to individuals under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information from any children under age 13. If you are under age 13, please do not submit any Personal Information to us. If you are a parent or legal guardian and think your child has given us information, you can contact us to remove the information.

We do not have actual knowledge about selling or sharing Personal Information of persons under the age of 16.

8. COOKIES/WEBSITE USAGE

You may have the choice whether or not to disclose Personal Information; however, some parts of the Services and some services or activities may be more difficult or impossible to use if you choose not to disclose Personal Information.

We also collect information pertaining to web pages visited and general usage patterns through the use of “cookies”. We use technologies and online tools such as "cookies", "pixel tags," and “GIF files” to automatically collect certain information. Cookies are text files that a web server can store on a user’s hard disk. Cookies enable us to customize your experience and provide greater convenience.

Many advertisers and service providers that perform advertising-related services for us and third parties participate in voluntary programs that provide tools to opt-out of such interest-based advertising such as the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (“DAA”) Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising. To learn more about how you can exercise certain choices regarding interest-based advertising for DAA members, visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/, and http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices for information on the DAA’s opt-out program for mobile apps. Some of these companies also are members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). To learn more about the NAI and your opt-out options for their members, see http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/.

Please be aware that, even if you are able to opt out of certain kinds of interest-based advertising, you may continue to receive other types of ads. Opting out only means that those selected, participating members should no longer deliver certain interest-based advertising to you but does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or ads (e.g., from other ad networks). Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit these opt-out webpages, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different device or web browser or use a non-browser-based method of access (e.g., mobile app), your browser-based opt-out may not, or may no longer, be effective.

9. JURISDICTION-SPECIFIC TERMS

If you are a resident of California or Virginia (starting Jan. 1, 2023), Colorado or Connecticut (starting July 1, 2023), or Utah (starting Dec. 31, 2023), the law in those states provides you with the following rights with respect to your Personal Information:

Your California Privacy Rights:

The right to correct inaccuracies in your Personal Information, taking into account the nature of the Personal Information and the purposes of the processing.
The right to request that we delete any Personal Information we have collected about you.
The right to opt-out of the selling or sharing of your Personal Information, which you can exercise through the contact form available on our website or by modifying your privacy preferences (e.g., Global Privacy Control), available through certain internet browsers and extensions, that signal your preference to opt out. Please note that clearing your cookies at any time will remove the signal of your selected privacy preferences.

To submit any of the above requests, you may contact us at 833.442.2637 or use the contact form available on our website. You may also designate an authorized agent to make a request for correction on your behalf on our website through our contact form. When you exercise these rights and submit a request to us, we will verify your identity by asking you to provide us with additional information such us your email address, transaction history, or the last four digits of a credit or debit card used to make a purchase. We also may use a third-party verification provider to verify your identity. We will endeavor to honor such requests unless such a request conflicts with certain lawful exemptions under California’s consumer privacy law. Please note that we are only required to honor requests to know twice in a 12-month period.

We do not discriminate against California residents who exercise any of their rights described in our Privacy Policy. Your exercise of these rights will have no adverse effect on the price and quality of our goods or services.

In addition, and as set forth below, California law requires us to identify, for the 12-month period prior to the date of this Privacy Policy, what information we may have “sold” or “shared” about you. For the 12-month period prior to the date of this Privacy Policy, Raising Cane’s has not sold any Personal Information about its customers. For the 12-month period prior to the date of this Privacy Policy, Raising Cane’s has only shared Personal Information about its customers as described above. Raising Cane’s does not use or disclose sensitive Personal Information, as defined in applicable laws, for any purposes other than those permitted by applicable law.

Opt-Out Preference Signals: We have enabled Global Privacy Control (GPC) as an additional way for you to submit a request to opt-out of the sale and sharing of your personal information through browsers and/or browser extensions that support such a signal. You can opt-out of the use of third-party cookies for personalized advertising by setting your cookie preferences on our website or on your browser.

This Privacy Policy describes how we may share your information for marketing purposes, as described above. If you are a California resident, the Shine the Light law permits you to request and obtain from us once per calendar year information about any of your Personal Information shared with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes, including the categories of Personal Information and the names and addresses of those businesses with which we have shared such Personal Information. To request this information and for any other questions about our privacy practices and compliance with California law, please contact us as described below.

10. NOTICE OF FINANCIAL INCENTIVE

In connection with our Caniac® Club, we may offer financial incentives or service differences (“Incentives”) to members in exchange for our use of your Personal Information.

To offer these Incentives, we must track the Personal Information you provide when you sign up or engage in activities in connection with the Caniac Club, such as your email address, purchase history, and engagement with Raising Cane’s (“Caniac Club Data”), as described in the Caniac Club Terms and Conditions of Participation.

The value of Caniac Club Data is calculated by determining the approximate additional spending per member, per year compared to individuals who have not participated in the Caniac Club. The value of Caniac Club Data is reasonably related to the costs associated with offering the Incentives. You can register for the Club here, and you can withdraw from or cancel your registration at any time by contacting us at www.hicanes.com.

11. SECURITY, PROTECTION, AND RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We have implemented measures designed to secure your Personal Information from accidental loss and unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via online and mobile platforms is never completely secure and we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information. Any transmission of Personal Information is at your own risk. We urge you to be careful online. This includes not sharing your usernames and passwords.

We will retain your personal data for as long as needed or permitted in light of the purposes for which it was obtained. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include: (a) the length of time we have an ongoing relationship with our Customers and provide services, (b) whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject, and (c) whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position (such as in regard to applicable statutes of limitations, litigation or regulatory investigations).

12. CHANGES

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes to this Privacy Policy, we will post the new Privacy Policy with an updated "effective date" at the beginning of the Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy each time you use the Services to see if the Privacy Policy has been revised since your last visit. By using any Service after we post changes, you agree to the terms of the Privacy Policy as modified.
