Privacy Policy
Effective date: 9/1/2023
Thank you for viewing BB’s Tex-Orleans’ (“BB’s,” “our,” “us,” “we”) privacy policy.
Our Privacy Policy applies when you visit or use our website, contact our customer service team, engage with us on social media, join our loyalty program, make a reservation, visit one of our locations, purchase our products or gift cards, or otherwise interact with us.
This privacy policy explains our privacy practices – the information we collect and how it’s used, the choices you can make about the collection and use of information you submit through our services and our commitment to protecting your privacy. We want you to have all the information you need to make informed decisions before you use BB’s services.
By using the website, you are consenting to this Privacy Policy. Please read it carefully. If you have any questions, please contact us as provided below.
Information We Collect
When you use our services, we, or vendors acting on our behalf, may collect your information. This generally happens in one of three ways – you provide us with information, we collect information through automated methods, or we collect information from other sources.
There are some situations in which it is necessary for us to collect your information in order to provide a service to you or to meet legal requirements. Rest assured, when you share your information with us, we only use it to give you a great BB’s experience.
Information You Provide Us
You may share certain information when you interact with us. For instance, when you call our customer service team or place an order via phone or website, you may provide us with information about you and your experience with BB’s. For example, you may provide:
• Personal identifiers such as your name, address, phone number, email address, birthdate, and other personal characteristics
• Customer records such as personal identifiers and payment card information
• Purchase details such as purchase history or tendencies
• Other information you provide such as information about a restaurant visit or transaction when you call our customer service team or interact with us on social media or other third-party websites or mobile apps
•Sensory Data such as voice recordings from calls to our customer service team
Information Collected Through Automated Methods
When you use our services, our technology has the ability to collect certain types of information. For example, when you place an order online, depending on your device’s location settings, we may use your location to determine which restaurant is closest to you to ensure you place your order from the right restaurant.
We, as well as certain vendors we work with (including those that provide content and other functionality on BB’s services) may use cookies, web beacons, and other similar tracking technologies, and the information collected from such technologies, as part of our services. We also collect:
• Internet usage data such as IP address, device identifiers, device advertising identifiers, mobile network, operating system details, language preferences, referring URLs, length of visits, anonymous traffic data, pages viewed, browsing history, search history, and information regarding interactions with our services or advertisements
• Geolocation data such as real-time information about the precise or approximate location of your device (GPS and network-based)
Information From Other Sources
Sometimes we may get information about you from other companies. For instance, when you tag or direct message us through social media, we may collect information about you. We also offer social networking sign-on services that allow you to use social networking credentials to access our services.
Compiling Information
We may combine certain information we collect, both from you or automatically, with other information we obtain about you from third parties. This information about your online activities over time and across different services gives us a better idea of the profile of a BB’s customer and helps us improve our services. For instance, we may combine information from various sources to serve personalized experiences and targeted offers that reflect your preferences and predispositions.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for various purposes – including improving our operations and providing you with our services, generating analytics, and for fraud prevention and legal purposes – which help us provide you with a better BB’s experience and learn how consumers interact with our services. For instance, using cookies can enhance your experience with our services by remembering your log-in status and viewing preferences from previous use of our services.

To Analyze and Better Understand Our Consumers
We collect and use information in connection with interest-based advertising, and we may share this information with our vendors. Our vendors, such as our advertising partners, may use, store, or access cookies, web beacons, and other storage technologies to collect or receive information from our services and elsewhere on the Internet. This information is used to provide advertising services, including advertisements targeted to your interests. For instance, we may use your personal information to:
• Personalize your experience by providing content through our services, including targeted advertising that we believe may be of most interest to you

When it comes to your information, you have options. BB’s wants to make sure you are informed about those options when it comes to trusting us with your information. You may have the ability to update your communication and marketing preferences and to review, and update or change the information you have provided to us. Certain consumers, such as California, Colorado, Connecticut, and Virginia residents, may have additional legal rights as explained below.
Update Your Communication and Marketing Preferences
If you do not wish to receive marketing communications from us, you can opt out of future marketing communications by following the instructions provided in those communications, for instance, in the unsubscribe link footer of your BB’s email. Opting out of marketing communications will not affect our administrative communications to you (e.g., communications about your transactions or policy changes).
Location Tracking
You may be able to enable or disable location tracking by adjusting the permissions on your device. Be aware that if precise location services are disabled, other means of establishing or estimating location (e.g., connecting to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, beacons, or our networks) may persist.
Your Cookie and Other Tracking Technology Choices
We and third-party vendors may use first-party cookies or other first-party identifiers, as well as third-party cookies or other third-party identifiers, to deliver advertisements, create a profile about you, measure your interests, detect your demographics, detect your location, and personalize content.
Your web browser may have settings that allow you to transmit a “Do Not Track” signal when you visit various websites or use online services. Like many websites and online services, BB’s services are not designed to respond to “Do Not Track” signals received from browsers. To learn more about “Do Not Track” signals, you may wish to visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com/.

We may also use certain third-party web analytics services, such Google Analytics, to help us understand and analyze how visitors use our services. We use this information to implement Google advertising features such as remarketing with analytics, interest-based advertising, demographics and interests reporting, user segment analysis, and impression reporting. For more information on how Google Analytics uses data collected through the BB’s services, visit: www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.

Links to Other Websites
Our Sites may include links to other websites or applications whose privacy practices may differ from ours. If you submit personal information to any of those websites or applications, your information is governed by their privacy policies. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy policy of any website you visit or application that you use.
Security
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us and have implemented reasonable technical, organizational, administrative, and physical measures to protect personal information. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security and encourage you to use websites and share information with caution.
Children’s Privacy
COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
When it comes to collecting personal information from children under the age of 13, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, and the United States Consumer Protection Agency, enforce the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.
We do not knowingly collect or store any personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If we become aware that we have collected or stored personal information from an individual under age 13, we will remove his or her personal information from our files. If you are a parent or guardian and believe we may have inadvertently collected personal information from your child, please notify us immediately by sending an email to tellBB@bbstexorleans.com.
California Online Privacy Protection Act
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared. See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf
According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:
• Users can visit our site anonymously.
• Once this privacy policy is created, we will add a link to it on our home page or as a minimum, on the first significant page after entering our website.
• Our Privacy Policy link includes the word ‘Privacy’ and can easily be found on the abovementioned page.
Processing in the United States
We are based in the United States. If you are using the website from outside the United States, please be aware that the information we obtain about you will be processed in the United States or in other jurisdictions. By using the website or our services, you acknowledge your personal information may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions outside your own, including the United States, as described in this Privacy Policy. Please be aware that the data protection laws and regulations that apply to your personal information transferred to the United States or other countries may be different from the laws in your country of residence. The United States may not afford the same level of protection as laws in your own country.

Updates to Our Privacy Policy
From time to time, we may update this privacy policy and indicate changes by updating the “Effective Date” at the top of the policy.
Your use of BB’s services after any update to this privacy policy will constitute your acceptance of the changes. To the extent any provision of this privacy policy is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed to the extent necessary for the remainder to be valid and enforceable.
