This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from shop.wafflehouse.com (the “Site”).


PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

  • Cookies: Data files placed on your device that often include an anonymous unique identifier. To learn more about cookies and how to disable them, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

  • Log files: Track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.

  • Web beacons, tags, pixels: Electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.

Additionally, when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers), email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Order Information.”

When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking about both Device Information and Order Information.


HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to:

  • Communicate with you about your order or account;

  • Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud;

  • Provide you with marketing communications (email and SMS), when in line with the preferences you have shared with us.

We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).


EMAIL & SMS MARKETING

With your permission, we may send you emails and/or text messages about our store, new products, promotions, and other updates.

By signing up to receive SMS messages, you consent to receive recurring automated promotional and personalized marketing messages (e.g., cart reminders) at the phone number provided. Consent is not a condition of purchase. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.

  • Cart Tracking: Waffle House Merchandise’s website uses cookies to help keep track of items you put into your shopping cart, including when you have abandoned your cart. This information is used to determine when to send cart reminder messages via SMS.

  • Opt-Out: You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link included in our emails. You can opt out of SMS marketing at any time by replying STOP to any message. Reply HELP for help.

  • Third-Party Providers: We may share your contact information (email and phone number) with third-party service providers that deliver email or SMS messages on our behalf. These providers are only authorized to use your information to support delivery of our communications.

  • No Third-Party Sharing of SMS Consent: SMS opt-in data and consent is used exclusively for sending you text messages (e.g., cart reminders, order updates, and promotions) and will not be shared, sold, or transferred to third parties for any other purpose.

  • Disclaimer: We are not responsible for delayed or undelivered SMS messages. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
