1. The information we collect from you through this Website;
2. How we use the information;
3. With whom we share the information and why;
4. Your choices regarding collection, use, and distribution of information;

THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT

When you visit the www.Pancheros.com website (“Website”) Pancheros records your IP address, your cookie information and the webpages within the Website that you visit. A cookie is a piece of data stored on your hard drive containing information about you. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on this Website.  Once you close your browser, the cookie simply terminates.  Pancheros is the sole owner of the information collected on this Website. Some of our business partners use cookies on this Website (for example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over those cookies.

Pancheros collects personally identifiable information from you when you register with Pancheros, purchase products from the Pancheros store or provide such information through a submission form on the Website. Such personally identifiable information may include your name, age, address, telephone number and any other additional information you voluntarily provide. Submission of personally identifiable information to Pancheros through this Website is strictly voluntary.

Pancheros does not knowingly collect data directly from anyone under 13 years of age. By submitting information to Pancheros through this Website, you are representing that you are at least 14 years of age. If you believe Pancheros has inadvertently collected any such data, please contact this Website administrator at marketing@pancheros.com for information regarding removal of any such data from our files. Pancheros reserves the right to limit certain promotions to those at least 18 years of age.

HOW WE USE THE INFORMATION

Pancheros uses cookies to enhance your Website experience. For instance, by setting a cookie on the Website, you would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time.  If you reject the cookie, you may still use the Website.  The only drawback to this is that you will be limited in some areas of the Website.  Cookies can also enable Pancheros to track and target your interests to enhance your experience on the Website.

In addition to cookies, Pancheros records your usage of the Website. Pancheros may share this information with third party analytics partners, such as Googles Analytics and Quantcast, to improve the Website and to produce advertising profiles to be shared with advertisers. We do not combine your IP address, usage data, results from third party analytics with personally identifiable information.

From time-to-time we may request information from you via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and eligibility to win requires no purchase of our services and, therefore, you have a choice whether or not to disclose this information.  Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, gender, ethnicity, date of birth, age level, etc.).  Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes.  Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this Website.

Pancheros uses personally identifiable information solely for internal purposes. Pancheros may, with your permission, use personally identifiable information to send you marketing materials, such as coupons and product information. Pancheros will not share any personally identifiable information provided by you through this Website with any nonaffiliated companies, except in furtherance of providing you goods or services that you have specifically requested. 

WITH WHOM WE SHARE THE INFORMATION AND WHY

Pancheros may share aggregate, non-personally identifiable demographic information with partners and advertisers.  Pancheros may share your personally identifiable information with our franchisees and affiliates which also adhere to the terms of this Privacy Policy.  Pancheros will not share your personally identifiable information with any nonaffiliated companies except in furtherance of providing you goods or services that you have specifically requested. 

When we share your personally identifiable information with nonaffiliated companies, we do so only under the terms of a confidentiality agreement which prohibits the nonaffiliated companies from sharing your personally identifiable information with others.  We may also share your personally identifiable information in response to subpoenas, court orders, or in exercise or defense of our legal rights.  In the event Pancheros merges with another company, Pancheros will contact you before transferring your personally identifiable information to such other company.

YOUR CHOICES REGARDING COLLECTION, USE, AND DISTRIBUTION OF INFORMATION

You have the option to ‘opt-out’ of having your information used for purposes not directly related to this Website at the point where we ask for the information. If you no longer wish to receive our special offers or promotional materials from Pancheros or its partners, you may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying with “Unsubscribe” in the subject line in the e-mail, or e-mail us with “Unsubscribe” in the subject line at marketing@pancheros.com.  Pancheros will, within a commercially reasonable period of time, remove your information from databases used to provide you with such special offers and promotional materials.

THE SECURITY PROCEDURES IN PLACE TO PROTECT THE INFORMATION

Pancheros utilizes several security measures to prevent the loss, corruption or unauthorized dissemination of information collected through the Website. Such procedures may include Secure Socket Layer encryption for sensitive information, password protection and/or database security protocols.

Regardless of the security measures undertaken, however, no website operator can guarantee the security or privacy of data collected. Accordingly, despite our efforts to constantly monitor and upgrade our security measures, there will always remain a slight possibility that the data may become compromised. If at any time you become aware of any problems with Pancheros security procedures, please contact the webmaster immediately at marketing@pancheros.com so that we may review and correct any problems.

HOW YOU CAN CORRECT ANY INACCURACIES IN THE INFORMATION

If your personally identifiable information changes (such as your zip code), or if you no longer desire our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove your personal data from our files. This can be in writing to Pancheros at:

Pancheros Franchise Corporation
2475 Coral Court, Suite B

You can also do this via telephone at 888-MEX-BEST or by e-mailing our webmaster with “Information Change” in the subject line at marketing@pancheros.com. 

MISCELLANEOUS PRIVACY TERMS

If at any time Pancheros becomes aware of any unauthorized usage of this Website, including any unauthorized political, commercial, malicious, destructive or illegal use, Pancheros may, at its discretion, purge the information and/or report any such activities to the relevant authorities.  If you become aware of any such unauthorized usage of the Website, please contact the webmaster immediately at marketing@pancheros.com.

This Website contains links to other websites. Please be aware that Pancheros is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other websites. We encourage you to note when you leave this Website and read the privacy statements of each website that collects personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy only applies to information collected by this Website.

Independently owned and operated franchises of Pancheros may have their own websites which may or may not adhere to the terms of this Privacy Policy. It is important to review the privacy terms of any such franchise website before submitting any personally identifiable information.

In the event Pancheros significantly modifies its treatment of personally identifiable information, Pancheros will notify you in writing by sending you written notice to the primary email address you have provided us or by placing a prominent notice of such modifications on this Website. Your continued use of this Website after the posting of any changes shall constitute your agreement with and acceptance of such changes.
