What Personal Information About Customers Does
JoesBarGrill.com
Gather? top
The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and
continually improve your shopping experience at
JoesBarGrill.com
. Here are the types
of information we gather.
- Information You Give Us: We receive and store
any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way.
Click here to
see examples of what we collect. You can choose not to provide certain
information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our
features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as
responding to your requests, customizing future shopping for you, improving our
stores, and communicating with you.
- Automatic Information: We receive and store
certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like
many Web sites, we use "cookies", and we obtain certain types of information
when your Web browser accesses
JoesBarGrill.com
.
Click here to
see examples of the information we receive. A number of
companies offer utilities designed
to help you visit Web sites anonymously. Although we will not be able to
provide you with a personalized experience at
JoesBarGrill.com
if we cannot recognize
you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.
- E-mail Communications: To
help us make e-mails
more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open
e-mail from
JoesBarGrill.com
if your computer supports such capabilities. We also
compare our customer list to lists received from other companies, in an effort
to avoid sending unnecessary messages to our customers. If you do not want to
receive e-mail or other mail from us, please adjust your
Customer Communication Preferences.
- Information from Other Sources: We might
receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account
information. Click
here to see examples of the information we receive.
What About Cookies?
top
- Cookies are
alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer
to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to
recognize your browser and to provide features such as storage of items in your Shopping Cart between
visits.
- The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will
tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have
the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies
altogether. However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of some of
JoesBarGrill.com
's coolest features, and we recommend that you leave them turned on.
What About PopUps?
top
- PopUps are new browser windows that are displayed or "Popped Up" when you access a website
- The information displayed can be from another site or information about the current site depending
on how the webmaster chooses to market their site.
- Many webmasters have choosen to use these popups as an advertising tool.
This has caused many to block all Popups in general.
- We at
JoesBarGrill.com
use popups in a way to expand the product
information through the use of images and words. And you as a consumer will missout
on these features if a popup blocker is installed.
- It is recommended that before you complete your shopping cart you
disable all popup blocking software or check for blocked sites if you experience any odd behavior.
Does
JoesBarGrill.com
Share the Information It
Receives? top
Information about our customers is
an important part of our
business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share
customer information only as described below and with subsidiaries
JoesBarGrill.com
,
Inc. controls that either are subject to this Privacy Notice or follow
practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Notice.
- Affiliated
Businesses We Do Not Control: We
work closely with our affiliated businesses. In some cases, these businesses operate stores at
JoesBarGrill.com
or sell offerings to you at
JoesBarGrill.com
. In other cases, we operate
stores, provide services, or sell product lines jointly with these businesses.
Click here for
some examples of co-branded and joint offerings. You can tell when a third
party is involved in your transactions, and we share customer information
related to those transactions with that third party.
- Third-Party Service Providers: We
employ other
companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include
fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail,
removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing
marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid
listings and links), processing credit card payments, and providing customer
service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their
functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
- Promotional Offers: Sometimes we send offers
to selected groups of
JoesBarGrill.com
customers on behalf of other businesses. When
we do this, we do not give that business your name and address.
- Business Transfers: As we continue to develop
our business, we might sell or buy stores, subsidiaries, or business units. In
such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred
business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing
Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in
the unlikely event that
JoesBarGrill.com
, Inc., or substantially all of its assets
are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred
assets.
- Protection of
JoesBarGrill.com
and Others: We
release account and other personal information when we believe release is
appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our
Conditions of Use and other
agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of
JoesBarGrill.com
, our
users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and
organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously,
however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise
disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial
purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy
Notice.
- With Your Consent: Other than as set out
above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third
parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the
information.
How Secure Is Information About
Me? top
- We
work to protect the security of your information
during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which
encrypts sensitive information you input.
- We reveal only the last five digits of your credit
card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit
card number to the appropriate credit card company during order
processing.

unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off
when finished using a shared computer.
