Your privacy is important to DinersDreams. This Privacy Notice describes how DinersDreams Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively “DinersDreams”, “we”, “us” and/or “our”) collect and manage your personal information. Privacy laws generally define “personal information” as any information that is linked or reasonably linkable to an identified or identifiable natural person. 

This Privacy Notice covers the following persons (collectively, “you” and/or “your”):

• Visitors: any person who visits www.qrtusker.com and any other DinersDreams applications, websites and social media accounts, and/or where a link to this Privacy Notice is included, such as websites created for referral or promotional purposes (collectively, the “Websites”).

Please note that our Merchants are independent third parties that maintain their own business practices and policies that are separate from their relationship with us and their use of our Services. As a result, unless provided otherwise in this Privacy Notice, we are not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of our Merchants, who may maintain separate policies and practices. 

Please note that certain locations where we operate have laws requiring us to disclose certain privacy practices relating to individuals in such locations.

We may amend this Privacy Notice from time to time in accordance with the “Changes to this Privacy Notice” section below. To the extent permitted by law, your continued use of the Services and Websites constitutes your acceptance to those amendments and the updated Privacy Notice.

Please be aware that information you freely submit in these boxes may reveal to us and the relevant Merchants with whom we share personal information about you (as detailed in the “How we share information” section below), and certain information that may be considered sensitive personal information under applicable law (for example, about any allergies or dietary restrictions).

These cookies may be set by us or third parties that collect information on our behalf, such as Google Analytics.

Do not track

DinersDreams tracks users when they cross from our primary website (DinersDreams.com) to other properties, as well as when visitors to our website enter through a marketing landing page. We also keep a record of third party websites accessed when a visitor is on a DinersDreams site and clicks on a hyperlink. We do not track users to subsequent sites and do not serve targeted advertising to them. Some browsers have “Do Not Track” features that allow you to tell a website not to track you. However, these features are not all uniform and we do not currently respond to those signals.

1. Personal information collected from other sources

We may collect personal information about you from third parties including our business partners, online advertising companies, identity verification services, credit bureaus, banks and other financial institutions, credit card companies and publicly available sources (e.g., social media channels).

Our Services and Websites are not targeted or directed at children under the age of 16. No one under age 16 may use the Services or provide any personal information to the Websites. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 16. If we learn that we have collected the personal information of a child under 16, we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 16, please contact us using the contact details as provided in the “How to Contact Us” section below.

You are responsible for the personal information you choose to submit in these instances. For example, if you list your name and email address in a forum posting, that information is public. Please take care when using these features.

5. Security

DinersDreams takes precautions — including administrative, technical, and physical measures — to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft, and misuse, as well as against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

DinersDreams Services use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption and/or other features where personal information is collected. When making online purchases, you should use an SSL-enabled browser such as Safari, Firefox, or Internet Explorer. Doing so is intended to protect the confidentiality of your personal information while it’s transmitted over the Internet. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we take steps to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Websites. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Websites.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Websites, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the Websites like message boards, which any Website visitor can view.

1. Location of Services

We use service providers located outside of Canada to process personal information. Personal information may be stored on the servers of cloud-based service providers located in the United States.

1. Retention of Personal Information

We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law or our document retention policies and procedures.

If you correspond with us by email, post service, or via any other form of communication, we may retain the correspondence and information contained in it and use it to respond to your inquiry; to notify you of updates or Services that may be relevant to you; or to keep a record of your complaint, request, and the like. If you would like us to remove you from our contact list or exercise your rights related to your personal information, please contact us at [email protected]

We will need to verify your identity before granting access or otherwise changing or correcting your information.  Applicable law may allow or require us to refuse to provide you with access to some or all of the personal information that we hold about you, or we may have destroyed, erased, or made your personal information anonymous in accordance with our record retention obligations and practices. If we cannot provide you with access to your personal information, we will inform you of the reasons why, subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions.

We take your privacy concerns and preferences seriously. Where you have contacted DinersDreams and/or registered an interest in receiving information about DinersDreams Services (including pricing or quotations) or have provided your personal information for marketing purposes (including event registration, subscribing to our blog, or content downloads), you have given your consent to receiving communications by phone, e-mail, or otherwise from DinersDreams in response to your inquiries.

You can also opt out by contacting us as described in the “How to Contact Us” section below. Opting out of receiving communications may impact your use of the Services. If you decide to opt out, we may still send you non-promotional communications, such as digital receipts and messages about your account or our ongoing business relations.

We require the authorized agent to provide us with proof of the individual’s written permission (for example, a power of attorney) that shows the authorized agent has the authority to submit a request for the individual. We will additionally require the authorized agent to verify his/her own identity and we will confirm the agent’s authority with the individual about whom the request was made.

It’s important to guard your privacy when you are online. Where DinersDreams Services include links to other websites, products and services, this Privacy Notice does not govern those websites, products and services. Whether we have posted those links or other organizations or individuals have, you should read their privacy notices and make an informed decision about whether you want to use those websites, products or services.

DinersDreams uses interfaces with social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and others. If you choose to “like” or share information from a DinersDreams website through these services, you should review the privacy policy of that service. If you are a member of a social media site, the interfaces may allow the social media site to connect your site visit to your personal data.

Addendum A

IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

Last updated: 12 June 2023

California privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA“), require that we provide California residents certain specific information about how we handle their Personal Information, whether collected online or offline. The provisions below supplement the information provided in the generally applicable portion of our Privacy Notice and apply solely to individuals that are residents of California and qualify as a “Consumer” under the CCPA. Any terms defined in the CCPA or as otherwise defined in our Privacy Notice have the same meaning as used in this addendum.

Personal information, as used in this addendum, means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household.

1. Categories of Personal Information We Collect and Disclose

The table below sets out generally the categories of Personal Information about California residents that we collect, sources of this information, and whether we disclose the information to others for a business purpose.

Commercial information	Yes	Yes

2. Categories of Personal Information Sold

We do not “sell” personal information as most individuals would typically understand that term. As described in our privacy policy, we and third parties that provide advertising or other functionality on our behalf, may use cookies, web beacons and other technologies to help us advertise our Services to you as informed by your interests. The categories of personal information impacted may include:

• Identifiers;
• Internet/Network Information; and
• Inferences.

To the extent this practice is interpreted to constitute a “sale” under the CCPA, you can always restrict the placement of cookies on your computer or remove them from your browser by going to your browser settings. You can also change your cookie preference here. Additionally, you can also opt out of receiving interest-based ads from third party advertisers who are members of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) or who follow the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (DAA) Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising by visiting the opt out pages on the NAI website and DAA website. If you have any questions or concerns, please refer to the “How to Contact us” section in the Privacy Notice. We do not “sell” personal information about individuals who we know are younger than 16 years old.

3. California Residents’ Rights Under California’s Shine-the-Light Law

Under California’s “Shine the Light” law (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.83), California residents who provide us certain personal information are entitled to request and obtain from us, free of charge, information about the personal information (if any) we have shared with third parties during the immediately preceding calendar year for their own direct marketing use. Such requests may be made once per calendar year for information about any relevant third-party sharing in the prior calendar year. California residents who would like to make such a request may submit a request to [email protected]. The request should attest to the fact that the requester is a California resident, and provide a current California address. We are only required to respond to a customer request once during any calendar year. Please be aware that not all information sharing is covered by the California privacy rights requirements and only information sharing that is covered will be included in our response.

European Economic Area and United Kingdom Residents

General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) Privacy Statement (“GDPR Statement”)

This GDPR Statement applies to persons in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), including those based in the United Kingdom (“UK”). This GDPR Statement supplements our Privacy Notice; however, where the Privacy Notice conflicts with the GDPR Statement, the GDPR Statement will prevail as to persons in the EEA and the UK.

Controller of your personal information

DinersDreams is the controller of personal information we collect.

Your rights under the GDPR

• Right of Access: you may have the right to request access to personal information that DinersDreams holds about you.
• Right to Rectification: you have the right to request that any incorrect or inaccurate personal information relating to you is corrected and/or amended.
• Right to Erasure (‘right to be forgotten’): you are entitled to request for your personal information to be deleted and DinersDreams must comply under certain circumstances.
• Right to Restriction of Processing: if you request for the processing of your personal information to be restricted, DinersDreams will cease to process it if (i) the accuracy of your personal information is contested by you, for the period in which we have to verify the accuracy of the personal information; or (ii) the processing is unlawful and you oppose the deletion of your personal information and request restriction; or (iii) we no longer need your personal information for the purposes of processing, but your personal information is required by you for legal claims; or (iv) you have objected to the processing, for the period in which we have to verify overriding legitimate grounds.
• Right to Data Portability: you have the right to request to receive your personal information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and, where requested and technically feasible, transmit your personal information to another organization.
• Right to Object:  you have the right to object to processing of your personal information based on legitimate interests or the performance of a task in the public interest/exercise of official authority (including profiling); direct marketing (including profiling); and processing for purposes of scientific or historical research and statistics.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint before your national data protection authority.

You can also withdraw your consent at any time where we are relying on your consent to process your personal information. Please note that your withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain Services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

Any requests to exercise the above-listed rights may be made to [email protected].

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights described above). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive.

We may need to request further information from you to help us confirm your identity. This is a security measure to ensure that your personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. In an effort to speed up our response, we may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request.
