We may also send you marketing through text, email, our app, or social media, such as special offers, new products or features, and information about Baskin-Robbins or our fellow brands. And if you win a promotion or sweepstakes, we will use identifiers to notify you.

Franchise organizations are independent businesses, and their processing of personal information is subject to their own privacy policies.

We also provide your information to third parties. When we provide your information to third parties, and they receive the data for their own purposes, the disclosure is considered a “sale” of personal information under some U.S. privacy laws.

The categories of third parties we “sell” your personal information to include advertising partners, data analytics providers, social networks, affiliates, franchise organizations, and data brokers. We provide this information to show you relevant and personalized advertisements (targeted advertising) and for analytics, data strategy, consultation on, development or improvement of products and services, marketing, advertising, and related services.

Cookies and other tracking technologies

Baskin-Robbins’ websites, apps, emails, and advertisements may use tracking technologies such as cookies, web beacons, and pixel tags.

We also use tracking tools:

  •  to recognize new visitors to our websites.
  •  to recognize past customers.
  •  to present more personalized content, to improve your website experience, optimize your shopping experience, and provide site and service enhancements.
  •  to observe your behaviors and browsing activities over time across multiple websites or other platforms.
  • to better understand our audience, our customers, our website visitors, and their respective interests. 

We use information you make available to us when you interact with us, our affiliates, and other third parties to decide what content is relevant to you. We gather this information using the tracking tools described above. For example, we or our partners might look at your purchases or browsing behaviors. We or our partners might also look at your location. We might look at these activities on our platforms or the platforms of others. We work with third parties who help gather this information. These third parties might link your name or email address to other information they collect. That might include past purchases made offline or online. Or, it might include online usage information.

Some browsers have “do not track” features that allow you to tell a website not to track you. These features are not all uniform. We do not currently respond to those signals. If you block cookies, certain features on our sites may not work. If you block or reject cookies, not all of the tracking described here will stop. Choices you make are both browser and device specific.

You may exercise choices to opt out of the use of certain information collected by Google Analytics at Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on Download Page , by Google Analytics for Display Advertising or the Google Display Network at Ads Settings , or downloading the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Most of the companies with whom we work to provide you with targeted ads support the SelfRegulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising of the Digital Advertising Alliance. This means that they allow you to exercise choice regarding the collection of information about your online activities over time and across websites for online interest-based advertising purposes. More information can be found at YourAdChoices.com. If you want to “opt out” of receiving online interestbased advertisements on your internet browser from advertisers and other companies that participate in the DAA Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising and perform advertising-related services for us and our partners, follow the instructions at www.aboutads.info/choices, or http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices. An “opt-out” Cookie will be placed on your device indicating that you do not want to receive interest-based advertisements. Opt-out Cookies only work on the internet browser and device they are downloaded onto. If you want to opt-out of interest-based advertisements across all of your browsers and devices, you will need to opt-out on each browser on each device you actively use. If you delete Cookies on your device generally, you will need to opt-out again. If you want to “opt out” of receiving online interest-based advertisements on your mobile apps, please follow the instructions at YourAdChoices.com. Please note that when you “opt-out” of receiving interestbased advertisements, this does not mean you will no longer see advertisements from us or on our website or mobile application. It means that the online ads that you do see from participants should not be based on your particular interests. We are not responsible for effectiveness of, or compliance with, any other entity’s opt out options or programs or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs. In addition, other entities may still use tracking technologies to collect information about your use of our online services, including for analytics and fraud prevention as well as any other permitted purpose.

Your privacy rights

  • Opt Out of Sales. Some state laws define “sales” of personal information as the exchange of personal information for any valuable consideration (such as services). We do not sell your data in exchange for money. We do “sell” your personal information when we provide your personal information to another business, and they use it for their own purposes. You have the right to opt out of these sales and can do so here.
  • Opt Out of Targeted Advertising. We use targeted advertising to present offers we think you may be interested in. You have the right to opt out of targeted advertising and can do so here

Loyalty Program and Financial Incentive Disclosures

We may offer loyalty programs (including Baskin-Robbins Rewards) that provide benefits such as rewards points and discounts to those who participate.

We have made a good faith estimate that the value of the personal information provided in connection with our loyalty programs is roughly equivalent to the relevant expenses related to the collection and retention of that personal information. Any difference in price or benefits provided to customers who participate in our loyalty programs is reasonably related to the value of personal information provided. By joining our loyalty program, you consent to any financial incentive associated with the program.
