7. Internet Users - Cookies, Internet Protocol (IP) Address, Aggregate Information - (Top)
Internet Users - Cookies, Internet Protocol (IP) Address, Aggregate Information
Cookies - In addition to Personal Information, we use data collection devices
such as "cookies" on certain web pages to help analyze our web page flow and
measure promotional effectiveness. A cookie is a text-only string of information
that a website transfers to the cookie file of the browser on your computer's
hard disk so that the website can remember who you are. A cookie will typically
contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the 'lifetime' of
the cookie, and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number. This helps
us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also
allows us to improve our site and services.
A few important things you should know about cookies are that:
- We offer certain features that are available only through the use of cookies.
- We use cookies to help identify you and maintain your signed-in status.
- Most cookies are "session cookies," meaning that they are automatically deleted
from your hard drive at the end of a session.
- You may encounter cookies from third parties on certain pages of the sites
that we do not control. (For example, if you view a web page created by another
user, there may be a cookie placed by that web page.) For detailed information
about cookies and how they are used on our website, please see our Cookie Policy
located at: http://www.subway.com/cookiepolicy/cpeng.us.pdf. Disabling/enabling
cookies - You have the ability to accept or decline cookies by modifying the
settings in your browser. However, you may not be able to use all the
interactive features of our site if cookies are disabled. For further
information about disabling or blocking cookies, please see our Cookie Policy
located at: http://www.subway.com/cookiepolicy/cpeng.us.pdf.
Web Beacon - Also called a Web bug or a pixel tag or a clear GIF. We use pixels
tags or transparent GIF files, to help manage our online advertising and
promotions. These tags collect anonymous (not personally identifiable)
information about which advertisements and promotions bring users to our
website. With both cookie and tag technology, the information that we collect
and share is anonymous and not personally identifiable. It does not contain your
name, address, telephone number, or email address. Used in combination with
cookies, a Web beacon is an often-transparent graphic image, usually no larger
than 1 pixel x 1 pixel, which is placed on a Web site or in an e-mail that is
used to monitor the behavior of the user visiting the Web site or sending the
e-mail. When the HTML code for the Web beacon points to a site to retrieve the
image, at the same time it can pass along information such as the IP address of
the computer that retrieved the image, the time the Web beacon was viewed and
for how long, the type of browser that retrieved the image and previously set
cookie values.
Web beacons are typically used by a third-party to monitor the activity of a
site. A Web beacon can be detected by viewing the source code of a Web page and
looking for any IMG tags that load from a different server than the rest of the
site. Turning off the browser's cookies will prevent Web beacons from tracking
the user's activity. The Web beacon will still account for an anonymous visit,
but the user's unique information will not be recorded.
Internet Protocol (IP) Address - an Internet Protocol (IP) Address is associated
with your computer's connection to the internet. DAI may use your IP address to
help diagnose problems with DAI’s server, to administer the Website and to
maintain contact with you as you navigate through the Website. Your computer's
IP address also may be used to provide you with information based upon your
navigation through the Website. DAI does not link IP addresses to any Personal
Information.
Aggregate Information – is used to measure the visitors’ interest in, and use
of, various areas of the Website and the various programs that DAI administers,
DAI will rely upon aggregate information, which is information that does not
identify you, such as statistical and navigational information. With this
aggregate information, DAI may undertake statistical and other summary analyses
of the visitors' behaviors and characteristics. Although DAI may share this
aggregate information with third parties, none of this information will allow
anyone to identify you, or to determine anything else personal about you.
8. Compliance with the Digital Advertising Alliance - (Top)
The SUBWAY® Group uses the Evidon assurance platform to comply with the
cross-industry Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising as
managed by the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) (http:///aboutads.info). As
part of this service, The SUBWAY® Group’s online advertisements and Web sites
are sometimes delivered with icons that help consumers understand how their data
is being used and provide choice options to consumers that want more control.
The list of our advertising partners may be updated from time to time. To
opt-out of internet-based advertising by all DAA-participating companies, please
visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/.
9. Interest-Based/Online Behavioral Advertising
- (Top)
On some pages of our site we may allow third-party advertising partners to set
web tracking tools (e.g., cookies and web beacons) to collect anonymous,
non-personally identifiable information regarding your activities on those pages
(e.g., your IP address, page(s) visited, time of day). We may also share such
information we have collected with third-party advertising partners. These
advertising partners may use this information (and similar information collected
from other websites) for purposes of delivering future targeted advertisements
to you when you visit other (non-SUBWAY®) sites within their networks. This
practice is commonly referred to as "interest-based advertising" or "online
behavioral advertising." Pages of our website that collect information that may
be used by such advertising partners for interest-based advertising purposes may
be identified by a link to AdChoices on the page.
Opting out (site pages). If you do not want your browsing while on such pages to
be used for interest-based advertising purposes, you may click on the AdChoices
link to opt-out of such uses by the listed advertising partner(s). Even if you
opt-out through this service, we may still collect non-personally identifiable
information regarding your site activities and use it for non-interest-based
advertising purposes as described in this privacy statement.
Opting out (advertisements). Advertisements on third-party sites that contain
the AdChoices link and that link to this privacy policy may have been directed
to you based on anonymous, non-personally identifiable information collected by
advertising partners over time and across websites. These advertisements provide
a mechanism to opt-out of the advertising partners' use of this information for
interest-based advertising purposes. Even if you opt-out through this service,
we may still collect and use information from the advertisements for
non-interest based advertising purposes, such as to determine the effectiveness
of the advertisements.
10. Children and Data Collection
- (Top)
At DAI, children’s privacy is important to us. DAI adheres to the federal
privacy protection standards as stated in the Children's Online Privacy
Protection Act (“COPPA”). We will not knowingly allow anyone under thirteen (13)
to provide us any personally identifying information. Children under thirteen
(13) years of age are required to obtain the express permission of a parent or
guardian before submitting any Personal Information about themselves (such as
their names, e-mail address, and phone number) over the Internet. If a child has
provided us with personally-identifiable information without the consent of a
parent or guardian, the parent or guardian of that child should contact the
Privacy Officer immediately at privacyofficer@subway.com. We will use reasonable
efforts to promptly delete the child's information from our servers.
11. A Note to Parents/Guardians - Additional Information About Children’s Privacy
- (Top)
A Note to Parents/Guardians—Additional Information about Children’s Privacy The
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") requires that we inform
parents and legal guardians about how we collect, use, and disclose personal
information from children under thirteen (13) years of age; and that we obtain
the consent of parents and guardians in order for children under thirteen (13)
years of age to use certain features of our website. Also, when we use the term
"parent", we mean to include legal guardians.
Children can participate in many of our features without providing personally
identifiable information. However, to enable their participation in certain
interactive features, we may ask children to provide us with personally
identifiable information. The types of information we may request include first
name as well as the child’s and parent’s email addresses. We use a child’s email
address to respond to a specific request to participate in an activity (e.g.,
participate in a contest or sweepstakes, respond to their question, enable them
to subscribe to a newsletter). We use parents’ e-mail addresses to obtain their
consent or notify them of their child's online activities and enable the parent
to unsubscribe the child from a newsletter or other similar activity.
Sometimes, we use third party service providers to help us conduct contests or
sweepstakes, send prizes to winners, or provide customer service related to
activities on the website. These third party service providers are contractually
obligated to adhere to this Privacy Policy. As such, these third party service
providers are required to keep the information confidential and to use it only
for the specific services they are performing on our behalf.
At any time parents can refuse to permit us to collect further personal
information from their child and can request that any personal information we
have collected be deleted from our records.
We will provide parents notice by e-mail of any material changes in the way we
intend to collect, use, and/or share their child’s personal information. Please
note that, at all times, parents should update their personal information to
provide us a current email address.
If you would like to review any personally identifiable information that we have
collected online from your child, have this information deleted, and/or request
that there be no further collection or use of your child's information, or if
you have questions about these information practices, you may contact our

18. Sharing of Personal Information - (Top)
DAI does not sell Personal Information to third parties. We may
share Personal Information with our service providers, consultants and
affiliates for our internal business purposes. Except as described in this
Privacy Policy, DAI will not share Personal Information with a third party,
unless a customer requests, consents to such disclosure, or disclosure is
required or authorized by law.
We may share your Personal Information with agents, affiliates or
service providers who act for or on behalf of DAI in connection with the
business of DAI, or for further processing the data in accordance with the
purpose(s) for which the data was originally collected, e.g., third party
maintenance of secure listing databases. We require our agents, affiliates and
service providers to agree in writing to maintain the confidentiality and
security of Personal Information they maintain on behalf of DAI and not to use
it for any purpose other than the purpose for which we retained them. We also
require any third parties we retain to protect Personal Information disclosed by
us in accordance with all applicable privacy requirements and the general
privacy principles described in this Privacy Policy.
The Personal Information you provide DAI is considered a company
asset and may be disclosed and/or transferred to a third party in the event of a
proposed or actual purchase, sale, lease, merger, amalgamation or any other type
of acquisition, disposal, or financing of all or any portion of DAI or of any of
the business assets or shares of DAI or a division thereof, in order for a
customer to continue to receive the same products and services from the third
party.
Although we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we reserve
the right to disclose Personally Identifiable Information to a third party in
certain limited circumstances, specifically: to comply with a law, regulation,
search warrant, subpoena, judicial proceeding, a court order, or as otherwise
may be required by law, to enforce our policies or contracts, to collect amounts
owed to us, to protect users of our sites from fraudulent or abusive use, during
emergencies when safety is at risk, as determined by DAI, or otherwise where
necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. In
addition, from time to time, server logs may be reviewed for security purposes;
for example, to detect unauthorized activity on the web site. In such cases,
server log data, containing IP addresses, would be shared with law enforcement
bodies in order that they may identify users in connection with their
investigation of the unauthorized activities. As described above, DAI, its
affiliates within the SUBWAY® Group, third party service providers, and SUBWAY®
Development Agents may share and exchange Personal Information in order to
process franchisee applications, administer the SUBWAY® franchise system, and
protect the integrity of the SUBWAY® franchise system and trademarks. Personal
Information may be provided to a courier or freight forwarder to fulfill an
order, which may have been requested from us.
SUBWAY® Development Agents and other service providers are
prohibited from using Personal Information for any purpose other than to provide
assistance to DAI and its affiliates within the SUBWAY® Group. Development
Agents are required to protect Personal Information disclosed by us and to
comply with the general privacy principles described in this Privacy Policy.
19. Security
- (Top)
We endeavor to protect your Personal Information using physical,
electronic or procedural security measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the
information in our control. We safeguard your Personal Information on the
Internet by using industry-standard practices. Although "guaranteed security"
does not exist either on or off the Internet, we make commercially reasonable
efforts to make the collection and security of such information consistent with
our Privacy Policy and all applicable laws and regulations. Currently, our
website utilizes a variety of different security measures designed to protect
Personal Information of users both inside and outside SIBV, including the use of
encryption mechanisms (e.g., Secure Socket Layers or SSLs), password protection,
and other security measures to help prevent unauthorized access to your
personally identifiable information. This helps maintain the confidentiality,
privacy, and integrity of your transactions, and helps to protect your
confidential information - such as credit card numbers, online forms, and
financial data from loss, misuse, interception and hacking.
Phishing-Identity theft and the practice currently known as
“phishing” are of great concern to DAI. Accordingly, safeguarding information to
help protect you from identity theft is a top priority. We do not and will not,
at any time, request your credit card information, your account ID, login
password, Social Security Number or National Identification numbers in a
non-secure or unsolicited e-mail or telephone communication. For more
information about phishing, visit the Federal Trade Commission’s website.
20. Storage, Retention and Accuracy of Personal Information - (Top)
All reasonable steps are taken to safeguard your Personal
Information against loss; unauthorized access, use, modification, disclosure; or
any other misuse. We take all reasonable steps to insure that your Personal
Information is accurate, up-to-date, complete, relevant and not misleading. DAI
will retain your Personal Information only for as long as necessary to fulfill
the purpose(s) for which it was collected and to comply with applicable laws and
your consent to such purpose(s) remains valid after termination of our
relationship with you.
21. Access, Control and Update Information About You - (Top)
You may contact the Privacy Officer to access, correct or delete
your Personal Information. If necessary, the Privacy Officer will contact
another individual to assist in completing your requested task. We want to be
sure that we keep only the most accurate and up-to-date Personal Information in
our records. You can email us at privacyofficer@subway.com to update your

25. Your California Privacy Rights -
(Top)
A California resident who has provided personal information
to a business with whom he/she has established a business relationship for
personal, family, or household purposes ("California customer") is entitled to
request information about whether the business has disclosed personal
information to any third parties for the third parties' direct marketing
purposes. In general, if the business has made such a disclosure of personal
information, upon receipt of a request by a California customer, the business is
required to provide a list of all third parties to whom personal information was
disclosed in the preceding calendar year, as well as a list of the categories of
personal information that were disclosed. However, under the law, a business is
not required to provide the above-described lists if the business adopts and
discloses to the public (in its privacy policy) a policy of not disclosing
customer's personal information to third parties for their direct marketing
purposes unless the customer first affirmatively agrees to the disclosure, as
long as the business maintains and discloses this policy. Rather, the business
may comply with the law by notifying the customer of his or her right to prevent
disclosure of personal information and providing a cost free means to exercise
that right.

same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the
information. When we transfer your information to other countries, we will
protect that information as described in this Privacy Policy. Further
