Disclosing Personal Information We do not sell, rent, release, disclose, disseminate, make available, transfer, or otherwise communicate your Personal Information to another organization for monetary or other valuable consideration. However, LEYE may disclose your Personal Information to a third party for one or more business purposes. When we disclose Personal Information for a business purpose, we enter a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to both keep that Personal Information confidential and to not use it for any purpose except performing the contract. In the past 12 months, we have disclosed your Personal Information with the following categories of third parties:

  • Service providers.

Sale and Sharing of Personal Information In the twelve (12) months preceding the effective date of this State-Specific Privacy Notice, LEYE has not sold Personal Information.   

Your Rights and Choices The CCPA provide consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their Personal Information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.   

Rights to Know and Access You have the right to request that LEYE disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your Personal Information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:

  • The categories of Personal Information we collected about you.
  • The categories of sources for the Personal Information we collected about you.
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or disclosing that Personal Information.
  • The categories of third parties with whom we disclose that Personal Information.
  • The specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).

  Right to Delete You have the right to request that LEYE 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 delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your Personal Information from our records, unless an exception applies.

We are not required to delete information where we are permitted or required to retain it, such as for tax, or record keeping purposes, to process orders and transactions, and for solely internal uses consistent with your relationship with us. If we deny your request to delete based on any of these exceptions, we will inform you in writing of the reason.

   Right to Correct If you believe there are any inaccuracies in the Personal Information that we have collected, processed, or otherwise obtained about you in the last 12 months, you may submit a request to us, and subject to our verification of that request, we will correct the inaccuracies, subject to applicable legal exceptions.

  Exercising Your Data Privacy Rights To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:

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 only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. We will ask you to provide certain additional information about yourself, such as name, physical address, email address and phone number, or other identifying information, to compare to information we have on file for you to verify your identity. We cannot fulfill your request if we cannot verify your identity. It may take up to forty-five (45) days to fulfill your request. If we cannot complete your request within the initial forty-five (45) day period, we will notify you in writing within forty-five (45) days of your initial request.

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. However, if you have an account, you may also exercise some of the above rights through our Mobile Application. We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Personal Information Sales and Sharing Opt-Out Rights We may disclose certain Personal Information to third parties, including third parties who may process your personal information for targeted advertising. These activities may be considered a “sale” or “share” under the CCPA.  If you are a resident of California you have the right to opt-out of sharing your Personal Information by sending a request using the Lettuce Entertain You Privacy Portal..

Non-Discrimination We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not, solely as a result of your exercise of your rights under the CCPA:

  • 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. However, we will continue to offer you discounts and other benefits if you choose to participate in the Lettuce Frequent Diner Club.
  • 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.

However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your Personal Information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time. You may voluntarily participate in our Lettuce Frequent Diner Club. If you elect to participate, we may collect certain Personal Information about you as described in this State-Specific Privacy Notice or our general LEYE Privacy Notice. As part of your participation in the Lettuce Frequent Diner Club, we may from time to time provide you with certain offers for menu items, which may result in different prices for certain menu items. You may find out more about the specific terms of your participation in the Lettuce Frequent Diner Club in our Mobile Application or on our Website.
