That cookie then communicates with servers of ours or those of other companies that we authorize to collect data for us and allows recognition of your personal computer. You may use the tools available on your computer or other device to set your browser to refuse or disable all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being set.

LINKS TO THIRD PARTY SITES

Our Websites may contain links to third-party websites and services. Please note that these links are provided for your convenience and information, and the websites and services may operate independently from us and have their own privacy policies or notices, which we strongly suggest you review. This Privacy Notice applies to the Websites and Products only, and we do not accept any responsibility or liability for the policies or practices of any third-parties.

GLOBAL PRIVACY CONTROL SIGNALS

When you use our Websites, third parties may collect information about your online activities, over time and across different internet websites, online or cloud computing services, online applications, or mobile applications. Some browsers and browser extensions provide their users with the ability to turn on a Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signal for all or specific websites.   Caruso responds to GPC signals by opting the user whose browser or browser extension sends the signal out of sales and sharing.  Caruso does not support the “Do Not Track” signal.   

SOCIAL MEDIA INTEGRATION

Our Websites may, from time to time, contain links to and from social media platforms. You may choose to connect to us through a social media platform, such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Instagram, etc. When you do, we may collect additional information from or about you through the social media platform.

Please be advised that social media platforms may also collect information from you. When you click on a social plug-in, such as Facebook’s “Like” button, Twitter’s “tweet” button or the Google+, that particular social network’s plugin will be activated and your browser will directly connect to that provider’s servers. We do not have control over the collection, use and sharing practices of social media platforms. However, you do have a right to opt out of Caruso sharing or selling your personal information to these social media platforms for cross-context behavioral advertising.  Please see below for more information.  We encourage you to review these social media platforms’ usage and disclosure policies and practices, including their data security practices, before using the platforms.

CELLULAR CARRIERS

When you visit a Caruso property, third parties, such as cellular carriers, may collect data from you in connection with your use of those carriers’ services.  While carriers may install equipment on Caruso property to improve the quality of cellular service available to you, we do not control what personal information the carriers collect or how they may use your data.  Please review your carrier’s privacy policy for more information about their data practices.

YOUR CHOICE AND CONTROL OVER YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

You may update and correct your information at any time by contacting us at info@caruso.com. Other choices you have include:

  • Disabling cookies. You can choose to disable cookies in your devices’ browser settings, although some Website features may not be available to you or may not function properly as a result.
  • Opt-out of promotional or marketing efforts. If you do not wish to receive promotional or marketing offers by email, you may opt out of receiving further offers and emails by clicking on the “unsubscribe” button in the email.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

If you are a California resident under the age of 18 and you have publicly posted any information on our Websites, California Business and Professions Code § 22581 gives you the right to request and obtain removal of content or information you have publicly posted. If you wish to make such a request, please send an email with a detailed description of the specific content or information to info@caruso.com.

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights when it comes to your personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by California Privacy Rights Act (together, the “CCPA”), including:

Notice of Financial Incentive. Caruso operates a Loyalty Rewards Program to Caruso shopping and entertainment center guests and community residents to earn points redeemable for events and experiences at Caruso properties. 

Material Terms of the Loyalty Program. The Loyalty Rewards Program is a points-based loyalty program through which members are able to earn points. For more details about the program, please see the Caruso Signature Program Terms. In exchange for the points in the Loyalty Rewards Program, Caruso collects California resident personal information, including name, mailing address, location information, zip code, email address and other optional information such as telephone number. Caruso will also collect reward program participation information, and certain transaction information to facilitate the program.  

How The Loyalty Program Points Are Calculated

Our Loyalty Rewards Program provides certain points that may be redeemed for events and experiences at Caruso properties. The financial incentive tied to the points is calculated based upon our reasonable but sole determination of the estimated value of the personal information California residents provide, which takes into consideration, without limitation, estimates regarding the anticipated revenue generated from such information, the anticipated expenses which might be incurred in the collection, storage, and use of such information in the operation of our business, and other relevant factors related to the estimated value of such information to our business, as permitted under applicable law.

Opt-In To The Program

When you sign-up for the Loyalty Rewards Program, you are affirmatively opting in to the program, and agreeing to the Caruso Signature Program Terms. As a member, you may choose to link your eligible credit or debit cards to the Program, which enables you to earn rewards for qualifying purchases.  By registering a payment card in connection with transaction monitoring, you authorize Caruso to share your payment card information with Visa, Mastercard and AMEX (“Payment Networks”) so it knows you enrolled. You authorize Mastercard and Visa to monitor transactions on your registered card(s) to identify qualifying purchases in order to determine whether you have qualified for or earned an offer linked to your payment card, and for the Payment Networks to share such transaction details with Caruso to enable your card-linked offer(s) and target offers that may be of interest to you.  You may opt-out of transaction monitoring and information sharing about your linked cards and qualifying purchases under the Program at any time by de-linking the linked card from your Program account or withdrawing from and canceling your membership in the Program.  

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Terms or Privacy Policy, Caruso, its Service Providers (as Defined by CCPA) and its contractors (including Company’s card-linking API provider) will use transaction information solely as follows:

  • Use transaction data such as transaction amount, transaction time and merchant location to confirm a Qualifying Purchase or return to match transactions to confirm whether you qualify for rewards
  • Share transaction data with the participating merchant where a transaction occurred as needed for the merchant to confirm a specific transaction occurred. For example, the date and amount of your purchase and the last 4 digits of your card number so the merchant can verify your purchase with its records if there is a missing or disputed transaction;
  • Provide participating merchants or Third Party Service Providers aggregated and anonymized information relating specifically to registered card activity solely to allow participating merchants and Third Party Service Providers to assess the results of their campaign;
  • Create a record of the transaction data and thereafter maintain and use data in connection with operating the Program;
  • Provide information in order to respond to a request from government authority or a payment organization involved in a transaction with you or a merchant.

You authorize the sharing, exchange and use of transaction data described above and herein by and among Caruso and Caruso’s Third Party Service Providers, Caruso’s contractors, applicable Payment Card Networks and applicable Merchants.

Right To Withdraw

If you wish to withdraw from the Loyalty Rewards Program at any time, you may submit such a request by visiting the Concierge at any participating Caruso property, opting out of membership via the Caruso Signature App or Website, sending an email to Caruso at info@caruso.com or by calling 1-855-490-5500. You will receive an email from Caruso confirming cancellation of your membership.

Please note that your request is subject to verification, and that we are not obligated to provide personal information in response to such a request if a consumer makes more than two requests in a 12-month period.  In order to verify that you are the consumer to whom the personal information relates, we may request certain information from you.  To obtain information about categories of personal information, we may request that you submit two data points that match data points that we maintain about you and that we determine are reliable for purposes of verifying your identity.  To obtain specific pieces of information we may have about you, we may request that you submit at least three pieces of personal information that we can match to information we maintain along with a signed declaration under penalty of perjury. 

Right of deletion. You have a right to request that we delete your personal information, and that we direct any service providers, contractors, or, unless impossible or involves disproportionate effort, third parties to whom we sold or shared your personal information to do the same. To make such a request, you may either call toll-free at 1-855-490-5500, email info@caruso.com, or submit a request here: www.caruso.com/disclosure. Please note that your request is subject to verification. The type of verification we may require will depend on the nature of the information that you seek to delete.  We also reserve the right to deny your request if your personal information is required to:

  • Complete the transaction for which the personal information was collected;
  • Provide a Product requested by you;

Right to correct. If you are a California resident, you have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information about you that we maintain taking into account the nature of the personal information and the purpose of the processing of the personal information. To make such a request, you may either call toll-free at 1-855-490-5500, email info@caruso.com, or submit a request here: www.caruso.com/disclosure. Please note that your request is subject to verification, and our duty to correct the personal information is limited to commercially reasonable efforts. Please note that your request is subject to verification. The type of verification we may require will depend on the nature of the information that you seek to delete.  

Right of non-discrimination. You have a right to exercise your rights under the CCPA without being subject to discrimination, including, but not limited to, by:

  • Denying you goods or services;
  • Charging you different prices or rates for goods or services;
  • Providing you a different level or quality of goods or services; or
  • Suggesting you will receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level of quality of goods or services; or
  • Retaliating against an employee, applicant for employment, or independent contractor for exercising their rights under the CCPA.

This right does not prohibit us from charging a consumer a different price or rate, or from providing a different level or quality of goods or services, if that difference is reasonably related to the value provided to the business by the consumer’s data.  Further, this right does not prohibit us from offering loyalty, rewards, premium features, discounts, or club card programs consistent with the CCPA.  In certain instances, we may need your information to provide you with a particular service.  For example, if you decide to join a Caruso rewards program, you will need to provide us with certain information about yourself.  To provide you with the benefits of the rewards program, we may need to have that information on file.  If you request that we delete that information, we will honor that request, but we may not be able to provide you with the benefits of the rewards account.

We also rely on you to protect your personal information. Where we have provided you, or you have chosen, a password for access to certain parts of our Websites, you are responsible for ensuring that password is kept confidential. We ask that you do not share your password with others.  We may act on any activity undertaken under your password.  We also ask that you be careful about sharing your personal information in public spaces of the Websites like message boards. The information you share in public spaces may be viewed by other Website users or shared in other online locations.
