We may also use cookies and similar tools to target and collect metrics about our advertising and content across our Services and third party sites and services. You have certain choices about our use of cookies, pixels and tracking within the Services, as described in this section.
A. Cookies, Pixels and Analytics
Cookies. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your device's hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our Services, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process, support the security and performance of the Services, or allow us to track activity and usage data within Service.
Pixels. Pixel tags (sometime called web beacons or clear GIFs) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. While cookies are stored locally on your device, pixel tags are embedded invisibly within web pages and online content. We may use these, in connection with our Services to, among other things, track the activities of users, help us manage content and compile usage statistics.
We may also use pixels these in HTML e-mails we send, to help us track e-mail response rates, identify when our e-mails are viewed, and track whether our e-mails are forwarded.
Third-Party Analytics and Tools. We use third party tools, such as Google Analytics, which are operated by third party companies. These third-party analytics companies may collect usage data (using cookies, pixels and similar tools) about our Services in order to provide us with reports and metrics that help us to evaluate usage of our Services and improve performance and user experiences. You can also download the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent their data from being used by Google Analytics at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
B. Targeted Advertising
We work with third parties, such as ad networks, channel partners, mobile ad networks, analytics and measurement services and others (“third-party ad companies”) to personalize content and display advertising within our Services, as well as to manage our advertising on third-party sites, mobile apps and online services. In order to do so, we may share certain information with these third-party ad companies, and we and these third parties may use cookies, pixels, and other tools to collect usage and browsing information within our Services, as well as on third-party sites, apps and services, such as IP address, location information, device ID, cookie and advertising IDs, and other identifiers, as well as browsing information.
In addition, if you have push notifications enabled in the Dutch App we may send you special offers and other promotional notifications and where you have location services enabled we may send you location-based offers.
C. Managing Your Preferences
We make available several ways for you to manage your preferences regarding targeted advertising and cookies within our Services. Many of these are browser and device specific, which means that you need to set the preference for each browser and device you use to access our Services; in addition, if you delete or block cookies, you may need to reapply these preferences. Further, opting out of cookies and advertising as discussed below does not mean that you will no longer receive advertising content from us. You may continue to receive generic or “contextual” ads.
Browser Preferences. You can set or communicate your preferences for cookies, tracking and targeted advertising on our website as described below. Please note that these preferences are browser and device specific, which means that you need to set the preference for each browser and each device you use to access our website.
- Website preference manager: You can review or change your preferences for targeting cookies on our Website by adjusting your cookie settings here.
- Browser signals: If our website detects that your browser is transmitting a “global privacy control”—or GPC— signal, we will apply that to opt that browser on your device out of targeting cookies on our Website. If you come to our Website from a different device or from a different browser on the same device, you will need to apply GPC for that browser and/or device as well. Our Website does not recognize or respond to browser “do not track” signals.
Most browsers also allow you to block certain cookies, review and delete cookies and receive notifications when a third party cookie is set. You can find more information through the “Help” menu of your browser. Visitors to our Services who disable cookies may browse the Site, but some features may not function.
Mobile Privacy Settings. Most mobile devices allow you to control or disable the use of precise location services and push notifications by any application on your mobile device through the device's settings menu. However, in order to use certain mobile application functionality, such as mobile order and payment and other location-based services and technology requiring location data, you must either (1) enable “location services” in our mobile application, or (2) set the permissions in your mobile device to allow communication of this location data information. Some services or features may not function properly without this location information.
Industry Ad Choices Programs. You can also control how participating third-party ad companies use the information that they collect about your visits to our websites and use of our mobile applications, and those of third parties, in order to display more relevant targeted advertising to you. Users in the US can obtain more information and opt out of receiving targeted ads from participating third-party ad networks at aboutads.info/choices (Digital Advertising Alliance). You may also download the DAA AppChoices (https://youradchoices.com/appchoices) tool in order to help control interest-based advertising on apps on your mobile device.
Please note that opting out of participating ad networks does not opt you out of being served advertising. You may continue to receive generic or 'contextual' ads on our Services. You may also continue to receive targeted ads on other websites, from companies that do not participate in the above programs.
7. DUTCH REWARDS: NOTICE OF FINANCIAL INCENTIVES AND BONA FIDE LOYALTY PROGRAM
Dutch Bros may offer certain perks, such as rewards, exclusive offers and other incentives —including Dutch Rewards and other programs, such as sweepstakes, contest, or other similar promotional campaigns or offers (each a “Program”)—that are considered a “financial incentive” under the California Consumer Privacy Act or a “Bona Fide Loyalty Program” under the Colorado Privacy Act and its implementing regulations. For example, you can choose to sign up for Dutch Rewards by downloading the Dutch App and creating a Dutch account—once you sign up, you can start earning rewards using the Dutch App, subject to our Terms of Service, including the applicable Dutch Rewards Program terms. We will not include you in a Program without your consent. You are not required to create an account or use the App to make a purchase.
The incentives we provide generally include complimentary or discounted products and other special offers (“Rewards”). If you are a California resident, pursuant to the CCPA, the value of your personal information we process as part of a Program is related to the value of the free or discounted products or services, or other benefits that you obtain or are provided as part of the applicable Program, less the costs and expenses associated with making the Rewards available to Program participants.
When you sign up for Dutch Rewards or other Programs, we typically ask you to provide your name, email, mobile number, zip code, and birthday (optional), and we will also collect and maintain records about your purchases, rewards and redemptions. Dutch Bros collects, shares, uses and retains the personal information it collects, including information related to these Programs, as described in our Privacy Policy. For example, your personal information may be collected and retained, and may be shared with our franchisees and other third party partners, in order (a) to administer and promote the Program, (b) maintain records of rewards and redemption, (c) provide tailored offers and rewards; (d) contact you about available rewards and special offers; (d) improve our marketing and ad campaigns and reach you with more relevant, targeted ads and offers, and (f) send your information and offers about third party products and services you may be interested in, and (g) for research and analytics purposes. You may opt out of a Program at any time.

To learn more about Dutch Rewards, please see our Terms of Service.

Submitting CCPA Requests to Know/Access, Correct or Delete. California residents may exercise their rights to know/access, correct and delete their personal information by:
- Submitting a request through our webform.
- Calling us at +1-833-539-4700 (toll free).
When you submit a request to know/access, correct or delete, we will take steps to verify your identity and request by matching the information provided by you with the information we have in our records. In some cases, we may request additional information in order to verify your identity, or where necessary to process your request. If we are unable to verify your identity after a good faith attempt, we may deny the request and, if so, will explain the basis for the denial.
You may also designate someone as an authorized agent to submit requests and act on your behalf. Authorized agents will be required to provide proof of their authorization and we may also require the relevant consumer to directly verify the identity and the authority of the authorized agent.
Opting Out of Sales and Sharing under the CCPA. You may exercise your right to opt out sales and sharing by:
- Webform. You may submit a request through our webform. We will apply your opt out to the personal information in our records that is linked or reasonably linkable to the information provided in your request. You may also access our webform by clicking the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information“ link at the bottom of our Website.
- Browser and opt out signals. Turning on “Global Privacy Control” signals for your browser, which our website will process as a request to opt out of sales and sharing for the relevant browser and device. If we detect that your browser is transmitting a GPC signal, we will opt that browser out of cookies that result in a “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information. More information about GPC is available at: globalprivacycontrol.org. You may also turn off “optional cookies” in our cookie preference manager, accessible here, which will opt your browser out of cookies that are not required for our Website to function properly.
If you come to our Website or use our Services from a different device or from a different browser on the same device, you will need to opt out of optional cookies or set GPC signals for that browser and device as well.
California Shine the Light Rights. California's “Shine the Light“ law (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.83) permits California residents who provide us certain personal information to request and obtain from us, free of charge, information about the personal information (if any) we have shared with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. To make a California Shine the Light request, please email us at [email protected]. Requests may be made once per calendar year.
