Transfer of Personal data to Third Parties and/or Other Countries
As a general principle, we process personal data in order to facilitate or improve Soapy Joe’s offerings and services to you.
We do not process personal data on behalf of third parties, nor do we sell personal data to, or share personal data with, third parties for their own, independent use, except if you allow us to do so.
We also use third party data hosting companies to store personal data collected by us in their servers, and to do data validation checks for us.
All data transfers to third party vendors or partners, including those listed as examples above will be subject to a written contract between us and the third party vendor or partner in question, and the vendor or partner will not have any authority to use such personal data for any purpose other than as instructed by us.
We will disclose personal data when legally obligated to do so under subpoena or court order, or for law enforcement purposes.
Personal Data Collected Online from Children Under the Age of 13
When a child under the age of 13 (or such higher age as may be determined by local law; in the following, the age 13 is used as the common denominator for easy reference) contacts Soapy Joe’s online, we will instruct that child to engage a parent or legal guardian so that the parent or legal guardian may register themselves and the child.
As a parent or guardian of a child under the age of 13 from whom we have collected personal data, you have the right to review and have deleted such personal data.
We cannot and will not establish conditions that will require or encourage children to disclose personal data over and above what is reasonably necessary to participate in any activity features on our web site.
Message to California Residents
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), California residents have certain rights around Soapy Joe’s collection, use, and sharing of their personal information.
Soapy Joe’s does not sell your personal information and will not do so in the future without providing you with notice and an opportunity to opt-out of such sale as required by law.
Soapy Joe’s collects various categories of personal information when you use our Services including internet or other electronic network or device activity information, and geolocation data. A more detailed description of the information Soapy Joe’s collects and how we use it is provided above in sections titled: “Information We Collect” and “Information we collect through automated technologies” and “Data collected” sections. “Transfer of personal data” and “Disclosure of your information” sections describe the categories of third parties with whom we share personal information, and what information may be shared under different circumstances.
If you are a resident of California, you have the right to request to know what personal information has been collected about you, and to access that information. You also have the right to request deletion of your personal information, though exceptions under the CCPA may allow Soapy Joe’s to retain and use certain personal information notwithstanding your deletion request. You may send a deletion request to: Soapy Joe’s Car Wash, Attn: Marketing Department, 11465 Woodside Ave., Santee, CA 92071 or call 1-855-762-7956 or email marketing@soapyjoescw.com. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights under the CCPA. An agent may submit a request on your behalf, but you must verify that your agent is authorized to do so.
Separate from the CCPA, California’s Shine the Light law gives California residents the right to ask companies what personal information they share with third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes. We do not disclose your personal information to third parties for the purpose of directly marketing their goods or services to you unless you request such disclosure. If you have any questions regarding this policy, or would like to change your preferences, you may contact us at the address listed above.
Miscellaneous
Soapy Joe’s may amend this policy at any time. We may need to change its data processing and privacy policy from time to time to keep up with the ways in which we collect, use, transfer, store and/or delete personal data. If policy changes are made, which would materially and adversely affect the privacy of individuals to whom this policy applies, we will endeavor to give notice of such changes to all individuals concerned. We encourage you to periodically review this page for new information.
