Last Updated: January 29, 2020

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains how www.specialtyrestaurants.com and our affiliates websites , as (hereinafter collectively "Website") and any mobile applications that we may issue (the “Apps”) collect and otherwise process personally identifiable information, including Job Posting Information as defined below (collectively, "Personal Information"). You may choose to submit Personal Information (such as your name, address, e-mail address and telephone number) to us at several different points on our Website and/or through the Apps. We collect, use and disclose Personal Information for business purposes only unless otherwise set out herein. We will not share or sell for monetary gain this information in ways different from what is disclosed in this Policy. If you have any questions about this Policy, the Website or any Apps, please contact us at hrinbox@srcmail.com or call us toll free at (855) 531-4662

The Website is owned and operated by SPECIALTY RESTAURANTS CORPORATION ("SPECIALTY RESTAURANTS CORPORATION", “we”, “us” or “our”). This Policy applies only to the Website and to our Apps. SPECIALTY RESTAURANTS CORPORATION is the sole owner of the information collected on the Website or through the Apps.

The Website and the Apps may contain links to other sites whose privacy policies may differ from those of SPECIALTY RESTAURANTS CORPORATION which we recommend you carefully review and consider. We cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of other websites even if you access them using links from our Website or the Apps.

Personal Information from the Website or the Apps may be gathered in two ways: (1) indirectly, i.e., certain Website information about you, such as domain name, IP address, browser type and page views, mobile device ID and type, and geolocation which may be collected through our Website's or our Apps’ technology to provide certain functionality to you, to remember you when you return, to customize our Website to your preferences and manage content, and compile statistics about Website usage; and (2) directly, when (a) you voluntarily submit Personal Information such as, first and last names, addresses, email address(es), phone numbers, birthdate, marital status, number of children and their ages, social network and ‘handle’ data, preference information, or survey answers/opinions, in connection with various marketing and promotional activities, surveys or contests conducted on the Website or through the Apps; (b) when you register to become a user of the Website or the Apps we will collect the password and security question/answer. We also may collect personal information when you join the Loyalty Program, purchase gift cards, or provide information for Special Events. When we collect this type of information, we will notify you as to why we are asking for information and how this information will be used either in this Policy or separately at the point at which the information is collected if not described in this Policy.

The Website may include job postings from time to time for various SPECIALTY RESTAURANTS CORPORATION restaurant locations or our corporate offices. You may be given the opportunity to apply for job openings online through an applicant tracking system operated by Ulti-Pro by creating an account and submitting an application via the Website, which is usually received by the human resources department. If submitted through that tracking system, your resume or CV and other Personal Information (collectively, “Job Posting Information”) will be made available to the owner, operator or manager of the SPECIALTY RESTAURANTS CORPORATION location or SPECIALTY RESTAURANTS CORPORATION office to which you are applying (which could be a different company from SPECIALTY RESTAURANTS CORPORATION). In addition, your Job Posting Information will be stored in that tracking system in an electronic database maintained by Ulti-Pro in the United States on behalf of SPECIALTY RESTAURANTS CORPORATION and the operators, owners and managers of SPECIALTY RESTAURANTS CORPORATION locations and corporate offices.

In some cases, the Website might list the email address of a contact person at the applicable hiring company. Any Job Posting Information sent to that email address will be maintained in accordance with this Policy. If you have any questions about these practices please contact privacypolicy@srcmail.com.

All such Job Posting Information may be used by the applicable hiring company for the purpose of assessing your suitability for current and future job vacancies and to pursue your recruiting process. The use of the information provided will be governed by this Privacy Policy. 

You will also be required to create an account with a user name and password when using the applicant tracking system. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of that username and password, and for any unauthorized access or use of your user name and password, except where due to the negligence or other fault of SPECIALTY RESTAURANTS CORPORATION.

If at any time you want your Personal Information, resume or CV to be deleted, you simply need to notify SPECIALTY RESTAURANTS CORPORATION.

In certain jurisdictions, you may have the right not to provide Personal Information. However, if you elect not to provide such information, you may not be able to utilize certain services on the Website or the Apps. You also have the right to request the deletion of your information by contacting Specialty Restaurants Corporation, 150 Paularino Ave., Building C, Costa Mesa, CA 92626 or by sending an e-mail to privacypolicy@srcmail.com.

Some information that we collect about you is collected passively through the use of "cookies." Cookies are small files of information, which save and retrieve information about your visit to the Website - for example, how you entered and navigated our Website, and what information was of interest to you. We use this information to remember you when you return and to customize our Website to your preferences.

There are two types of cookies: session and persistent cookies.

Session Cookies. Session cookies exist only during an online session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser or turn off your computer. We may use session cookies to allow our systems to uniquely identify you during a session or while you are logged into the Site. This would allow us to process your online transactions and requests and verify your identity, after you have logged in, as you move through our Site.

Persistent Cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you have closed your browser or turned off your computer.

Disabling Cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Visitors to our Site who disable cookies will be able to browse certain areas of the Site, but some features may not function.

Currently, our systems allow you to decline cookies. You may, also, disable certain tracking as discussed in the cookies policy (e.g., by disabling cookies). We have a “do-not-track” system as a part of our cookie choices. 

Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on your computer’s hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on web pages.

We may also use automated devices and applications, such as Google Analytics, to evaluate usage of our Site. We also may use other analytic means to evaluate our services.
