  • Personal Information we collect through automatic data collection technologies.

Also, when you visit our Online Services, we may collect certain information via automated means, as well as through the use of common online tracking tools such as pixels, web beacons and “cookies.” For example, our systems may collect information about your device and your activity on the Online Services (e.g., pages you visit, traffic and usage data, address of a referring website (if any), geographic locations, device identifiers, and Internet Protocol (IP) address). We use such information to ensure that the Online Services function properly, to understand how the Online Services are used, to improve the Online Services, our services to you, and your relationship with us, and for other purposes. When you consent and allow access, we also may collect information using precise, real-time location-based data services. You may decline or allow access when the prompt appears while using the Online Services.

Both we and third parties that deliver advertising on our behalf may use automatically-collected information, including your approximate location, to help tailor the ads you may see and the messaging you receive when you access and use the Online Services and third-party websites and apps. You may also receive ads, served by third-party advertising companies, based on information relating to your access to and use of the Online Services and other websites and apps on any of your devices. These companies place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser (including through the use of pixel tags). They also use these technologies, along with information they collect about your online use, to recognize you across the devices you use, such as a mobile phone and a laptop. For more information about this practice, and to learn how to opt out of it in desktop and mobile browsers on the particular device on which you are accessing this Policy, please visit

We use automated devices and applications, and other tools, such as Google Analytics, to measure and evaluate usage of our Online Services. We also use these tools to help us improve our Online Services, our performance, and user experiences. These entities may use cookies and other tracking technologies to perform their services. You can learn about Google’s practices by going to www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/ and exercise the opt-out provided by Google by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at

For most mobile devices and computer systems, you are able to withdraw your permission for us to collect this information by using the device or web-browser settings. For example, you may be able to set your browser to notify you when you receive certain types of cookies, and you may also be able to set your browser to decline certain types of cookies. Please note that if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use all the features of our Online Services.

We may use and disclose automatically collected information for any purpose, except where we are required to do otherwise under applicable law. If we are required to treat such information as Personal Information under applicable law, we may use and disclose such information for the purposes for which we use and disclose Personal Information, as detailed in this Policy. In some instances, we may combine automatically collected information with Personal Information. If we do, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information as long as it is combined.

4. Personal Information We Share with Others.

  • Zaxbys Corporate Family

Zaxbys may disclose Personal Information to our subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively, the “Zaxbys Family”). These disclosures typically will allow a member of the Zaxbys Family to improve our restaurants and provide a better service to our customers by performing one of the functions listed above in

of this Policy.

  • Franchisees

This Policy does not apply to Personal Information processed solely by our franchisees on their own behalf in connection with restaurants and does not apply to any websites or applications they may own and independently operate. We share information with our franchisees to process orders you make at a franchisee restaurant through our Online Services and to provide a better service to our customers.

  • Service Providers Who Help Us Perform Our Business Purposes

We may provide your Personal Information to our service providers who help us perform our business purposes and operations, such as payment processing, aggregate analytics and business intelligence for our delivery of marketing and advertising communications, technology companies who assist us in maintaining, protecting and enhancing our Online Services, and to our customer service and communications systems providers.

  • No Sale of Personal Information to Third Parties for Payment

Zaxbys does not sell your Personal Information to unaffiliated third parties for payment. As described above, Zaxbys engages in interest-based advertising, which may be deemed a “sale” under certain state privacy laws.

  • Government or Law Enforcement

Except as otherwise set forth in this Policy, Zaxbys does not sell, transfer, or disclose Personal Information to third parties outside of the Zaxbys Family unless we are required or requested to transfer or disclose Personal Information in cooperation with an ongoing law enforcement investigation, in response to judicial process, to comply with other legal requirements, or to assist on any matter relating to public safety or health. Zaxbys may use and disclose Personal Information to enforce our terms and conditions and to protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property and/or that of you, the Zaxbys Family, or others.

5. Children's Privacy.

The Online Services are intended for a general audience. We do not direct our Online Services to users under the age of eighteen (18), nor do we knowingly solicit or collect any Personal Information from users under the age of 18. If you are not at least 18 years of age, please do not use or provide any Personal Information through the use of the Online Services. If we receive actual knowledge that we have collected Personal Information online from anyone under the age of 18, we will delete that information from our records as soon as reasonably practicable. If you are a parent or guardian and are aware that your child under the age of 18 has provided Zaxbys with Personal Information online, we encourage you to contact us at privacy@zaxbys.com or the mailing address listed in

below so that we can delete your child’s Personal Information from our records as soon as reasonably practicable.

6. Information Security.

We have implemented commercially reasonable precautions designed to protect the Personal Information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

Despite our efforts, however, we are unable to guarantee that any Personal Information we collect from you will remain completely secure. No technology is foolproof, and information transmission and storage systems occasionally can be breached and accessed by third parties in violation of law. Therefore, we encourage you to use caution when using the internet or any mobile device and to take reasonable steps to protect the confidentiality of your passwords, account information, and payment information. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please immediately notify us in accordance with the “Contact Us” section below.

7. Third-Party Services.

This Policy applies only to Personal Information provided to or collected by Zaxbys. The Online Services may contain links to third-party websites or other online services that are not owned or operated by Zaxbys, and you may or may not receive notice that you are leaving the Online Services. Zaxbys is not responsible for the policies, content, or privacy, security, or other practices of such third-party services, and you visit and use such third-party services at your own risk. As a result, we encourage you to refer to the privacy policies of those websites to learn about their policies and practices.

We may permit third parties to provide tools, widgets, and plug-ins on our Online Services, which may use automated methods to collect information about how you use these features. These organizations may use your information in line with their own privacy policies.

8. Third-Party Payment Service.

The Online Services may provide functionality allowing you to make payments to Zaxbys using third-party payment services with which you have created your own account. We do not store or retain any credit card, billing or payment information. When you use such a service to make a payment to Zaxbys, your Personal Information will be collected by such third party and not by us and will be subject to the third party’s own privacy policy, rather than this Privacy Policy. We have no control over, and are not responsible for, such third party’s collection, use, disclosure, or retention of your Personal Information.

9. Updates to this Policy.

This Policy replaces an earlier version. From time to time, we may need to revise this Policy to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. The “Last Revised” legend at the top of this Policy indicates when this Policy was last revised. Any changes will become effective when we post the revised Policy on the Online Services. Where consistent with applicable law, your continued use of the Online Services and/or provision of your Personal Information constitutes acceptance of our updated Policy. Under certain circumstances (e.g., with respect to certain material changes to this Policy, including the way we use or share Personal Information previously collected from you through the Online Services), we may also elect to notify you through additional means, such as posting a notice on the front page of our website or by means of an e-mail. We encourage you to periodically review this Policy to stay informed about our use and protection of your Personal Information.

California Notice of Financial Incentive

California law defines a “financial incentive” as a program, benefit or other offering “related to the collection, deletion or sale of personal information.” We offer our customers the opportunity to participate in our Zax Rewardz program. The program’s benefits are described along with other material terms and conditions

. Our collection of program members’ Personal Information (including name and email address, as described above) allows us to operate the program and provide benefits. We use members’ Personal Information to both award and redeem points. Otherwise, the types of Personal Information we collect from members are similar to the types of Personal Information we collect from customers who are not members. The amount of Personal Information we collect from a member or non-member may vary and depends on the transactions that the member or non-member has with Zaxbys. Members may exercise their privacy rights without any effect on their eligibility to receive benefits.

We are unable to estimate the value of a member’s Personal Information to us, as we do not “sell” or “share” such information other than in connection with targeted advertising. The value of benefits to members varies, as individual members take advantage of program benefits to varying degrees.

You may sign up to the Zax Rewardz program

. You may cancel your participation at any time by writing to us at rewards@zaxbys.com.
