We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.

Information Collection And Use

We may collect personal information about you when you use the [Brooklyn Water Bagels App] (the “App”). The information we collect falls into three categories: 

(a) information you provide us; 

(b) information we collect through automated methods, and 

(c) information we collect from other sources. 

Generally, the provision of your personal information is voluntary.  However, there may be situations where the provision of your personal information is necessary to provide a service or is required by law.  Please note that in certain cases, we may be unable to provide you with our services unless you provide the information. We will let you know when the providing of your personal information is necessary. 

We may combine the information you provide us, with information that is collected through automated methods, and with information we receive from other sources.

We collect information you provide to us

Precise geolocation data: If you give us your consent, we can collect your precise geolocation (latitude and longitude) from your device. The collection of your geolocation may occur in the background even when you aren’t using the services if the permission you gave us expressly permits such collection. If you decline permission for us to collect your precise geolocation, we will not collect it, and our services that rely on precise geolocation may not be available to you.

Our online services, App, and in-restaurant technology may collect information about the exact location of your mobile device or computer using geolocation and technology such as GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or cell tower proximity.  For most mobile devices and computer systems, you will be requested to give your permission for McDonald’s to process this information.  You are able to withdraw your permission for us to collect this information by using the device or web-browser settings.  If you have any questions about how to prevent us from collecting exact information about your location, we recommend you contact your mobile-device service provider, the device manufacturer, or your web-browser provider.  Some online services and in-restaurant technology may not work properly without information about your location.

We collect information from other sources.

We may collect information about you from other companies and organizations, including public databases, social media platforms, or third-party partners such as analytics or marketing providers. We may also collect information that is publicly available. For example, we may collect public profile information about you when you interact with us through social media. We may also hold onto your communications to us or regarding us on social media.

We may combine the information you provide us, with information that is collected through automated methods, and with information we receive from other sources.
