Collection of Personal Information
Weigel’s collects personal information in the course of providing retail goods and services, offering promotions and taking surveys of its customers. Weigel’s may collect this information when you sign up for a Weigel’s Rewards Card, when you access the Weigel’s website, when you make purchases at Weigel’s stores, when you sign up to participate in a Weigel’s promotion and when you voluntarily complete a customer survey requested by Weigel’s. By providing us with solicited and unsolicited personal information, you consent to our using such information, subject to applicable laws and the terms of this privacy policy. Please note that you always have a choice as to whether or not you provide us with your personal information, but the withholding of certain information may prevent us from providing you with certain products or services. For example, if you fail to provide us with proper identification, we will not be able to sell you age-restricted products, such as tobacco or alcohol.
Use of Weigel’s Website
When you visit or access the Weigel’s or Weigel’s Rewards website, we may require you to login or register as an authorized user in order to verify your identity and allow you to check the status of your Rewards Card account through the website. In connection with your use of the website, we may use web beacons or install cookies (alphanumeric identifiers) on your computer’s hard drive through the web browser. This allows us to automatically collect your computer’s network address and operating system, the time and date of your visit to our website, and other information. This helps us recognize you and enhance your online experience, as well as provide a more secure online experience. In addition, this also allows us to provide you with certain offers and promotions that Weigel’s may only offer through our webiste to our Rewards Card customers. Weigel’s may also use third-party software to place advertising materials on its website or implement e-mail marketing campaigns, and this third party software may also use web beacons or cookies to help manage and optimize your online experience. You may manually delete cookies from your computer, and you are free to refuse cookies if your browser settings permit, but such actions may impair or interfere with your ability to use the Weigel’s website. This is because cookies are required for customers to securely access certain portions of our website, including logging in to your Rewards Card account. To safeguard against unauthorized access to your Rewards Card account, we require you to log in to secure areas of our website with your user name and a password. If you cannot provide the correct user name or the correct password, you will not be able to access these secure areas of the website. We have created our website and related software to make sure that both your username and your password are encrypted when sent over the internet in order to further protect your personal information.

On the Weigel’s website, we may also provide links to third party websites (websites of other companies) in order to provide additional products, services or promotional opportunities to our customers. Any personal information or Weigel’s related information (such as Weigel’s Rewards Card number) that you willingly provide while accessing a third party website is subject to their privacy policy and security measures, and Weigel’s is not responsible for any information that you provide directly to a third party through a link on the Weigel’s website.

Weigel’s follows all guidelines established under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, and Weigel’s does not seek to obtain personal information regarding any child under the age of 18. However, Weigel’s cannot always determine the age of people who access and use our website. As a result, if you believe your minor child has provided us with personal information without your parental consent, we encourage you to contact us immediately to have this information removed from our database.

Disclosing of Personal Information
Weigel’s may disclose some of your personal information to related companies and third parties for the purposes outlined in this privacy policy. Weigel’s does not share, sell, rent, lease or disclose your personal information to any unrelated companies or third parties without your prior consent, except for the following purposes:

For example, we may receive a subpoena or court order from law enforcement authorities who are investigating potential fraud or questionable activities regarding a customer account, and we are required by law to provide certain personal information regarding our customers in response to the subpoena or court order. We will only give up this sensitive data when all other options are exhausted, and we are bound to do so by law.
