These features may include technologies called plug-ins and widgets. Plug- ins create a direct link between two websites, and widgets are interactive mini-programs that provide other companies' services on our websites.

Interest-Based Ads – Many advertising companies that collect information for interest-based advertising are members of the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) or the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), both of which maintain websites where people can opt out of interest-based advertising from their members. To opt-out of website interest-based advertising provided by each organization's respective participating companies, visit the DAA's opt-out portal available http://optout.aboutads.info/, the DAA of Canada's opt-out portal available at https://youradchoices.ca/en/tools, or visit the NAI's opt-out portal available at http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1..

If you would like to limit the websites that can store information in Flash cookies on your device, you must visit the Adobe website:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html.
Do Not Track Technology – Some newer web browsers have a Do Not Track preference that transmits a Do Not Track header to the websites you visit with information indicating that you do not want your activity to be tracked. We currently do not respond to browser Do Not Track signals, as there is no standard for how online services should respond to such signals. As standards develop, we may develop policies for responding to do-not-track signals that we will describe in this Privacy Statement.

This section provides general information about how Falafel Corner collects, stores, uses, transfers and otherwise processes personal data in or from certain countries in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland (together, for purposes of this section of the Privacy Statement, “EEA”), in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and its local implementations. This section does not supersede the applicability of any privacy policy found on the website of an EEA-based Falafel Corner affiliate with whom you have engaged, as that entity would be the data controller with respect to your personal data and the entity to which your data subject rights requests should be directed.
Lawful Bases of Processing – Where a Falafel Corner entity is acting as a data controller that determines the purposes and means of processing your personal data, such as when we collect, use, and share personal data as described in the Information We Collect, How We Use Your Information, and How We Share Your Information sections above, we must have a lawful basis for processing for doing so. Our lawful bases for processing personal data include:
to conclude or perform a contract with you, for example to:
process your purchases of or requests for products and services, including delivering gift cards in accordance with your instructions;
communicate with you about orders, purchases, returns, services, accounts, programs, contests, and sweepstakes;
for our legitimate business purposes, including to:
respond to your customer service inquiries and requests for information;
maintain, improve, and analyze our websites, mobile applications, ads, and the products and services we offer;
detect, prevent, or investigate security breaches or fraud; and
facilitate the functionality of our websites and mobile applications;
to comply with our legal obligations, for example to maintain appropriate records for internal administrative purposes and as required by applicable law, and provide important product safety information and notice of product recalls; and
on the basis of your consent, for example to send you via email and other electronic means personalized promotions and special offers or informing you about our brands, products, events, or other promotional purposes.
You can withdraw your consent at any time by modifying your promotional preferences in your Falafel Corner user account online, or by contacting us as described in the Contact Us section below.
Your EEA Data Subject Rights – Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:
Request access access to your personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you.
Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it.
Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party), or where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you.
Request the transfer of your personal information to another party, when possible.
Not be subject to automated decision-making producing legal or significant effects on an individual, which we do not engage in.
To exercise any of these rights, please see the How to Manage Your Account Information and Your Privacy Rights section above, or contact us as set forth in the Contact Us section below and specify which GDPR privacy right(s) you wish to exercise. We must verify your identity in order to honor your request, which we will respond to within 30 days of receipt.
Retention – As described in the Retention and Disposal of Your Information Section above, as a general rule, we keep your data for only as long as it is needed to complete the purpose for which it was collected or as required by law. We may need to keep your data for longer than our specified retention periods to honor your requests, including to continue keeping you opted out of marketing emails, or to comply with legal, regulatory, accounting or other obligations.
Transfers Outside the EEA – Your personal information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in a country other than the one in which it was collected, including the United States. It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for Falafel Corner or for our third-party service providers. In such cases, we will take appropriate steps to ensure an adequate level of data protection of the recipient as required under the GDPR and as described in this Privacy Statement.
Complaints – If you have any issues with our compliance, you have the right to lodge a complaint with an EEA supervisory authority (link). We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to first address your concerns and would welcome you directing an inquiry first to us per the Contact Us section below, or to our U.S.-based third-party dispute resolution provider (free of charge) at https://feedback-form.truste.com/watchdog/request. You may also contact our Data Protection Officer (“DPO”) at any time at privacy@fcorner.com.
On July 16, 2020, the European Court of Justice invalidated the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework as a transfer mechanism for data between EU and U.S. companies. On September 8, 2020, the Swiss supervisory authority similarly announced that it no longer considered the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework as adequate for personal data transfers from Switzerland to the U.S., Falafel Corner Franchising Corp. will utilize alternate appropriate safeguards going forward for such data transfers. Even though the Privacy Shield Frameworks have been invalidated, Falafel Corner will continue to honor its commitments with respect to EU and Swiss personal data transfer pursuant to Privacy Shield prior to the respective Frameworks' invalidation.
Falafel Corner Franchising Corp. participates in and has certified its compliance with the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks. Falafel Corner is committed to subjecting all personal data received from European Union (EU) member countries, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom in reliance on the Privacy Shield Frameworks, to the applicable Principles. To learn more about Privacy Shield, visit the U.S. Department of Commerce's Privacy Shield List here: https://www.privacyshield.gov/list.
Falafel Corner is responsible for the processing of personal data it receives, and subsequently transfers to a third party acting as an agent on its behalf, under the Privacy Shield Framework. Falafel Corner complies with the Privacy Shield Principles for all onward transfers of personal data from the EU, the U.K., and Switzerland, including the onward transfer liability provisions.
With respect to personal data received or transferred pursuant to the Privacy Shield Framework, Falafel Corner is subject to the regulatory enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.
