Your Privacy
At Denny's, we are committed to protecting your privacy. While visiting
the Denny’s site you may be asked to provide information that personally
identifies you (name, address, billing address, email address, home
telephone number, mobile telephone number, credit card number and social
security number). The following are sample areas in the Denny’s site
where we request personal information:
The information that we collect is on a voluntary basis. You may choose not to provide personal information and you still will be able to visit most of the Denny’s site. However, you will not be able to complete the activities listed above using the web site without providing us the required personally identifiable information. Please read on for more detail about our privacy policy.
What information do we collect? How
do we use it?
The personal information that we collect varies depending on the activity
you wish to conduct on the web. We will need more information for job
inquiries, franchise inquiries, gift certificate purchase, contest entry
and real estate site submission than we require for customer feedback,
information request and e-mail subscriptions.
When you enter a contest or other promotional feature, we may ask for your name, address and e-mail address so we can administer the contest and notify winners. If you have not opted out of receiving marketing materials, we may also use the information we collect to occasionally notify you about important functionality changes to the website, new Denny's services and special offers we think you'll find valuable.
You can choose not to allow us to use your personal information for direct marketing purposes by indicating your preference at the time of collection or by responding to the promotional e-mail in the manner provided. In certain circumstances, consent may be sought after the information has been collected but before use (for example, when we want to use information for a purpose not previously identified).
Will Denny's disclose the information
it collects to outside parties?
Presently, Denny's does not sell, trade or rent your personal information
to others. Denny's may provide aggregate statistics about our customers,
sales, traffic patterns, and related site information to reputable third-party
vendors, but these statistics will include no personally identifying
information.
If you submit comments through the web site, we may use or post your comments (or a portion or variation of your comments), along with your first name, city or town on this web site or other media without payment or compensation to you.
In instances when we receive customer complaints or feedback concerning specific franchised restaurants, we will forward the feedback to the franchised restaurant owner.
Other instances in which we may need to disclose personal information include:
We also reserve the right to disclose or transfer personal information to a third party in the event of a proposed or actual purchase, sale, lease, merger or any other type of acquisition, disposal or financing of all or any portion of Denny’s, Inc., DFO, LLC. or Denny’s Corporation.
