*WIS does not “sell” personal information about our customers as most people would typically understand that term. However, we may allow certain third-party communications to collect information about the users of our Services to develop or improve their products and services, to detect, prevent or investigate fraud or other misuse of their services, and for legal and compliance purposes. To the extent this practice is interpreted to constitute a “sale” under the CCPA, please see the How We Share Information with Third Parties and Third-Party Analytics and Targeted Marketing sections of the Privacy Policy for more information about how, we share Personal Information within WIS and with a variety of third parties for our business purposes.

| Right to Know | You have the right to request any or all of the following information relating to the Personal Information we have collected about you or disclosed in the last 12 months, upon verification of your identity:
|
| Right to Request Deletion | You have the right to request the deletion of Personal Information that we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions. |
| Right to Opt-Out of Personal Information Sales | You have the right to direct us not to sell Personal Information we have collected about you to third parties, as the term “sell” is defined in the CCPA, now or in the future.
If you are under the age of 16, you have the right to opt-in, or to have a parent or guardian opt-in on your behalf, to such sales. |
| Right to Non-Discrimination | You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising any of the rights described above.
However, please note that if the exercise of the rights described above limits our ability to process Personal Information (such as in the case of a deletion request), we may no longer be able to provide you our products or services or engage with you in the same manner. |

How to Exercise Your California Privacy Rights
To Exercise Your Right to Know or Right to Deletion
To exercise your right to know and/or right to deletion, please submit a request by:
- Mailing a written request to: 8801 Washington Blvd, Culver City, CA 90232
- Calling us at (888) 823-1670 and asking to exercise your California privacy rights, or
- Asking the manager of a California restaurant for assistance (if available).
We will need to verify your identity before processing your request. In order to verify your identity, we will generally either require the matching of sufficient information you provide us to the information we maintain about you in our systems. Although we try to limit the Personal Information collected in connection with a request to exercise the right to know or the right to deletion, certain requests may require us to obtain additional Personal Information from you. In certain circumstances, we may decline a request to exercise the right to know and/or right to deletion, particularly where we are unable to verify your identity.
To Exercise Your Right to Opt-Out of Sales
As noted above, WIS does not sell personal information about our customers as most people would typically understand that term. However, we do allow certain third-party communications and advertising partners to collect information about the users of our Services to develop or improve their products and services, to detect, prevent or investigating fraud or other misuse of their services, and for legal and compliance purposes. To the extent this practice is interpreted to constitute a “sale” under the CCPA, please see the How We Share Information with Third Parties and Third-Party Analytics and Targeted Marketing sections of the Privacy Policy for more information about how to control the sharing of such information with third parties for our business purposes.
