What categories of third parties do we share your Personal Information with?

Service Providers

From time to time, we may establish a business relationship with other businesses whom we believe trustworthy and who have confirmed that their privacy practices are consistent with ours (“Service Providers”).  For example, we may contract with Service Providers to provide certain services, such as hosting and maintenance, payment processing, data storage and management, marketing and promotions.  We only provide our Service Providers with the information necessary for them to perform these services on our behalf.  Each Service Provider must agree to use reasonable security procedures and practices, appropriate to the nature of the information involved, in order to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.  Service Providers are prohibited from using Personal Information other than as specified by us.

Our Affiliates

We may share Personal Information with businesses controlling, controlled by, or under common control with our Company.  

Corporate Transactions

If our Company is merged, acquired, or sold, or in the event of a transfer of some or all of our assets, we may disclose or transfer Personal Information in connection with such transaction.  You will have the opportunity to opt out of any such transfer if, in our discretion, it will result in the handling of your Personal Information in a way that differs materially from this Privacy Policy.

Compliance with Laws and Law Enforcement

We may also disclose your information to protect the safety, property, or rights of our Company or of any third party, to prevent or stop any illegal, unethical, or legally actionable activity.

Security

We use commercially reasonable efforts to provide for the secure transmission of information from your PC to our servers using encryption software. We accept user comments, on-line employment applications, resumes and gift card orders only from web browsers that permit communication through Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. This means you will be unable to inadvertently submit an online order through an unsecured connection. Please note that information sent to us by any means other than one of the built-in forms on our Site will not necessarily be sent through an encrypted or secured location. Furthermore, it is commonly known that information transferred over the Internet is never 100% secure. Although we endeavor to protect the privacy of information you have shared with us, you acknowledge and agree that there are security and confidentiality risks associated with the Internet which are beyond our control and that the safekeeping of information exchanged between us over the Internet cannot be absolutely guaranteed.

Use of Cookies

To enhance your experience with Islands, our server may use "cookies"  or “anonymous identifiers” to store users’ preferences. Cookies are messages sent between Islands and your browser which are saved as text files on your computer to identify your computer and web browser. Anonymous identifiers are random strings or characters that are used for the same purpose as cookies. Cookies, by themselves, do not tell us your email address or other Personal Information unless you choose to provide this information to us by, for example, requesting email alerts or additional information. However, once you choose to furnish our Site with Personal Information, this information may be linked to the data stored in cookies.

Users may customize their browsers to not accept cookies. If you choose to not have your browser accept cookies from our Site, you will still be able to view the text on our web pages.

Some of our Service Providers may use their own cookies, anonymous identifiers, or other tracking technology in connection with the services they perform on our behalf.

California Consumer Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you have certain privacy rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA Rights”). This Section describes those rights and how you can exercise them with our Company.

You can also request the following categories of information:

  • The categories of Personal Information we have collected about you.
  • The categories of sources from which the Personal Information was collected.
  • The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling the Personal Information.
  • The categories of third parties with whom we shared Personal Information.

We will also maintain a record of your CCPA Rights requests.

Please note that if we delete your Personal Information, many of our services will not work the same. For example, your previous opt out requests will not be saved, you will lose accumulated loyalty points and rewards and will no longer be a part of our loyalty program, you will no longer have an account (and will have to checkout as a guest for future orders, unless you create a new account), and saved preferences and information will no longer be available (both on the website and the mobile application).

To submit a request to know or request to delete, please visit our Consumer Request Page. If you are a California resident, we will ask you to provide some information in order to verify your identity and respond to your request. Specifically, we will ask you to verify information that can be used to link your identity to particular records in our possession, which depends on the nature of your relationship and interaction with Islands. The verification process helps ensure that we are honoring your requests for information about you, and not about someone else. If you are making the request as an authorized agent, you will be asked to upload a copy of the Power Of Attorney or other written authorization. You can also make the request by calling us toll free at (888) 263-7811.

  • Internet/electronic activity;
  • Commercial information; and
  • Inferences drawn from the categories described above in order to create a profile about you to reflect your preferences, characteristics, preferences, behavior and attitudes.

We “sell” your Personal Information to digital advertising networks.  We do not knowingly sell the Personal Information of minors under the age of 16.

Right to Opt Out of Sale

California residents have the right to opt out of the sale of your Personal Information to third parties, as “sale” is defined under CCPA.
