CALIFORNIA’S CONSUMER PRIVACY ACT


  1. California Residents’ Rights Under the California Consumer Privacy Act

    If you are a California resident, you have certain rights regarding information that is treated as Personal Information under the CCPA.

    • The right to know what categories of Personal Information are being collected, sold, or disclosed and the categories of sources of that Personal Information.

    You have the right to know what categories of Personal Information we collect, sell, or disclose about you, as well as the categories of third parties who purchased or received your Personal Information and the categories of sources of that Personal Information. These categories are described below in the “Categories of California Consumers’ Personal Information Collected, Sold, or Disclosed” section below. We are also required to provide to you, before or at the point of collection, with a general notice about the categories of Personal Information collected by us and how we intend to use the collected Personal Information.

    • The right to access collected Personal Information

    You have the right to request that we provide a copy of your Personal Information that we collected, sold, or disclosed in the preceding twelve (12) months. Only you, or someone you legally authorize to act on your behalf, may make a request related to your Personal Information. You may submit a maximum of two requests in a 12-month period.

    You must provide sufficient information to enable us to reasonably verify your identity or that of your authorized agent. We will only use the Personal Information provided in your request to verify your identity or that of your authorized agent. Please note that we cannot provide any Personal Information in response to a request if we cannot verify your or your authorized agent’s identity, or your authorized agent’s authority to make the request on your behalf, and/or if we cannot confirm that the collected Personal Information relates to you.

    You are not required to create an account with us before submitting a verifiable request. You can submit your request using the online request form found at moes.truyo.com or by calling our toll-free number at 1-877-848-9787.

    After receiving and verifying your request, we will provide the following information (depending on your request):

    • The categories of Personal Information collected about you in the preceding twelve (12) months.
    • The sources of that Personal Information by category.
    • The business or commercial purpose(s) for collecting or selling that Personal Information.
    • The categories of third parties with whom we shared that Personal Information.
    • The specific pieces of Personal Information collected about you.

    If we sold your Personal Information or disclosed it for a business purpose, we will provide:

    • the categories of Personal Information sold in the previous twelve (12) months and the categories of third parties to whom the Personal Information was sold; and
    • the categories of Personal Information disclosed for a business purpose in the previous twelve (12) months and the categories of third parties to whom the Personal Information was disclosed.

    See the “Methods for Submitting CCPA Requests to Moe’s” section below for information on how you can exercise your right to access collected Personal Information. For more information, see also the “Response Timing and Format” section below.

    • The right to request deletion of Personal Information

    With certain exceptions, you have the right to request that we and our service providers delete Personal Information we or our service provider collected or maintained. Once we receive and verify your request, we will delete and instruct any applicable service providers to delete your Personal Information from our records, unless an exception applies.

    We and our service providers may deny a verified deletion request if we must maintain your Personal Information to:

    • Complete the transaction or provide a good or service requested by you for which we collected the Personal Information, or otherwise perform a contract between us.
    • Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for that activity.
    • Debug to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality of our systems.
    • Exercise a legal right provided for by law, including exercising or ensuring free speech rights.
    • Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (California Penal Code sections 1546 to 1546.4).
    • Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest if:
      • the research adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws;
      • deleting the Personal Information is likely to make the research impossible or seriously impair it; and
      • you provided informed consent during the initial data collection.
    • Enable our internal use in a manner that you would reasonably expect based on your relationship with us.
    • Comply with our legal obligations.
    • Otherwise use your Personal Information internally in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which you provided the information.

    See the “Methods for Submitting CCPA Requests to Moe’s” section below for information on how you can exercise your right to delete collected Personal Information.

    • The right to opt-out of the sale of Personal Information

    You have the right to opt-out of the “sale” of your Personal Information to other businesses or third parties. The CCPA defines “sell,” “selling,” “sale,” and “sold” to include selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means.

    Once we receive an opt-out request, we will act upon the request as soon as commercially reasonable, but no later than fifteen (15) business days from the date we receive the request. We will also notify all third parties to whom we have sold the Personal Information after receiving the request, but before we are able to comply with the request, that you have exercised your opt-out right and instruct them not to resell the Personal Information.

    However, if we have a good-faith, reasonable, and documented belief that the request is fraudulent, we will deny the request and provide you with an explanation of our rationale.

    You may elect to opt-in to the sale of Personal Information after opting-out. In the event that a transaction requires the sale of your Personal Information as a condition of completing the transaction, we will inform you of this and provide instructions on how you can opt-in.

    See the “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” section below for more on how to opt-out of the sale of Personal Information.

    • The rights of California consumers who are less than 16 years of age

    We do not sell the personal information of California consumers who we actually know are less than 13 years of age unless we receive affirmative authorization from the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years of age. We do not sell the personal information of consumer who we actually know are at least 13 years of age and less than 16 years of age unless we receive affirmative authorization from the consumer.

    • The right to be free from discrimination

    You have the right to receive equal service and price and not be discriminated against if you exercise any of your CCPA rights. However, from time to time we may offer certain financial incentives, as permitted by the CCPA, that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels of our products and/or services. 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 will be required to provide all or some of the following information for verification purposes:

    • Your first and last name
    • Your e-mail address

We will require the authorized agent to provide either (1) a power of attorney; or (2) proof of your written permission to allow the authorized agent to submit the request on your behalf. In addition to proof of your written permission, we may require you to verify your own identity and directly confirm that you provided the agent permission to submit the request.

    You may also submit requests by calling our toll-free number at 1-877-848-9787.

  8. Financial Incentive Offers

    You have the right to receive equal service and price and not be discriminated against if you exercise any of your CCPA rights. However, from time to time we may offer certain financial incentives, as permitted by the CCPA, that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels of our products and/or services. 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.

    Summary of Financial Incentives Offered.

    From time to time, we offer coupons, specials, or other discounts to consumers who have opted-in to the receipt of marketing material from us by providing us with certain Personal Information, such as an email address or a phone number. Occasionally, we also offer consumers the opportunity to enter contests and sweepstakes. Consumers who share certain Personal Information with us by entering have a chance to win the contest or sweepstakes. Each contest or sweepstakes is governed by its own terms, and the specific financial incentive offered will be detailed there.

    Consumers may also join our free rewards program, Moe’s Rewards. You will be enrolled in Moe’s Rewards only after you provide prior opt-in consent. Participation in Moe’s Rewards gives consumers the opportunity to accrue points with qualifying purchases. The Moe’s Rewards program collects and retains participants’ Personal Information in order to keep track of the points you have accrued and/or purchases you have made. For details regarding the Moe’s Rewards program, including program benefits, refer to the Moe’s Rewards Program Terms and Conditions.

    Material Terms of Financial Incentives.

    When we offer a financial incentive or participation in our reward program, the offer will include an explanation of the material terms of the incentive or program. The nature and value of any such offer or financial incentive may differ depending on what information we collect and use and whether you choose to enroll in our rewards program.

     

    Whether you consent to the financial incentive and/or to enroll in our Moe’s Rewards program and whether you choose to allow us to collect and use other types of Personal Information about you affects how we communicate with you and the types and frequency of offers that you may receive. Most financial incentives that we offer and the Moe’s Rewards program will involve one or more of the following categories of personal information:
    • Personal identifiers, such as name, postal address, and email address.
    • Categories of personal information described in the California Records Statute, such as telephone numbers.
    • Protected classification characteristics, such as age.
    • Commercial information, such as favorite location and history of purchases.
    How to Provide Opt-In Consent to Financial Incentive.

    Participation in our financial incentives and the Moe’s Rewards program requires your prior opt-in consent. You can opt-in to participate in the financial incentives and/or Moe’s Rewards by checking the opt-in box when you sign up for an account, or by entering a contest or sweepstakes we sponsor.

    How to Revoke/Withdraw Consent to Financial Incentive.

    You make revoke your consent to any financial incentive (or opt-out) at any time by following the opt-out instructions contained in any promotional or information email we send to you.

    Similarly, you may deactivate your account in the Moe’s Rewards program at any time by emailing us at moerewards@moes.com with your account information and request that we delete your profile. If you delete your profile this means you will lose any points, rewards and offers that may have accrued.

    Value of California Consumers’ Personal Information.

    Our offers and financial incentives may be individualized to each consumer or a group of consumers based on one or more factors. Nonetheless, each offer or financial incentive related to the collection, retention, and use of your Personal Information is based upon our reasonable determination of the estimated value of such information, which takes into consideration, without limitation, estimates regarding the anticipated revenue generated from such information, the anticipated expenses which might be incurred in the collection, storage, and use of such information in the operation of our business, and other relevant factors related to the estimated value of such information to our business, as permitted under the CCPA. Thus, the value of a consumers’ Personal Information will depend on the offer or financial incentive and whether you enroll in the Moe’s Rewards program.

  9. Metrics Regarding CCPA Requests and Responses During the Previous Calendar Year

    At the end of each calendar year, starting in 2020, we will report as applicable regarding the number of requests to know, delete or opt-out that we received, complied with in whole or in part, or denied, and the median length of our response time.

  10. Children Under the Age of 13

    Our Websites and Application are not intended for children under 13 years of age. No one under age 13 may provide any Personal Information on the Websites or Application.
