Effective Date: 6/1/2021
Bojangles’ Restaurants, Inc. (collectively, “Bojangles” “we” or “us”), operate the bojangles.com website (“Website”), mobile application (the “App”) and other websites, social media accounts, online services, other services, tools or programs or the like that link to this privacy policy (collectively, the “Bojangles Online Services”). This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) explains how we and, as applicable, our subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “Affiliates”) collect, use, store, and share the information you provide when you visit or use the Bojangles Online Services. It also explains how you can get information or ask questions about this Privacy Policy.
Bojangles is a restaurant system comprised of Bojangles-operated and franchisee-operated restaurants. Our franchisees (“Franchisees”) are independent contractors who own their individual restaurants and may do certain things differently than us. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the privacy practices of Franchisees. Questions or concerns related to a Franchisee’s website, social media page or other service (the “Franchisee Services”) should be directed to the applicable Franchisee. Bojangles is not responsible or liable for the Franchisee Services or a Franchisee’s privacy practices.
By using the Bojangles Online Services, you accept the terms of this Privacy Policy describing how we collect, use, and share your personal information. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, then please do not use the Bojangles Online Services.
Personal Information We Collect and How We Use It
“Personal Information” is information that can be used to identify or contact a specific individual. We may collect Personal Information, such as your first and last name, physical address, email address, telephone number, when you provide that information to us through the Bojangles Online Services to deliver products, services, features and functionality you request from us, and to communicate with you about them. For example, this Personal Information, along with information you optionally provide about Bojangles restaurants you have visited, may be collected for purposes such as communicating with you about upcoming events and promotions, offering you products and services and inviting you to shop online, getting your feedback, making it possible for you to participate in Bojangles E-Club, and helping you use the Bojangles Online Services. This Personal Information may be used to respond to a “contact us” inquiry, or for entering you into a sweepstakes or contest.
Additionally, the Bojangles Online Services may access or provide links to websites or online services not operated by Bojangles, which may include our third-party suppliers and other service providers (“Third Party Services”) (such as merchandise purchases, online ordering and payment processing) and/or Franchisees. Such Third Party Services may also include the collection of information related to your experiences at a Bojangles restaurant, suggestions or other input you may provide, which may be submitted anonymously. Any information that you provide through a Third Party Service, is governed by the applicable third party’s terms of use and privacy policy. Bojangles assumes no responsibility and shall not be held liable for the acts or omissions of the Third Party Service, including, but not limited to their privacy policies, or any breaches thereof. It is your responsibility to review and comply with the applicable terms of use and privacy policies of such Third Party Service. Any issues with such Third Party Service should be directed to the applicable service provider and not to Bojangles.
Additional Personal Information may be collected if you request information about franchise opportunities or employment opportunities on the Website. Prospective franchisees may be asked to share the following Personal Information with us: name (present and former), physical address, email address, and telephone number, as well as background information related to your business experience. We may also request the name, address and telephone number of prior supervisors and business references. By providing us with contact information of third parties, the prospective franchisee represents to Bojangles that they have permission from the third party to share that information with us. Bojangles uses the information collected from prospective franchisees to evaluate their experience and qualifications. No franchisee-franchisor relationship is established by Bojangles’ collection and review of the franchise application.
Prospective employees may register on the Website to receive alerts when new jobs of interest are posted. We may collect the following Personal Information: name, email address, and city, state or zip code to be able to send job alerts. A prospective employee may also optionally upload a resume as part of joining the Talent Network. The resume may contain additional Personal Information he/she optionally shares with us. Joining the Talent Network is not an application for a specific job. To apply for a job, prospective employees must visit and utilize the then-applicable Third Party Service with which Bojangles has contracted. The submission of the employment application and provision of personal information related thereto is subject to such Third Party Service’s separate privacy policy. Please be aware that the Third Party Service will share information it collects for job applicants with Bojangles, and we will have access to it for prospective employees applying for a job at a Bojangles location, and Franchisees may have access to information for prospective employees applying for a job at a particular franchised location owned by such Franchisee. At a minimum, Bojangles will receive an applicant’s name, physical address, email address, telephone number, driver’s license number, and background information (such as prior employers, prior job titles, and education completed and references (if provided)) from the Third Party Service for any applicant applying for a job at a Bojangles location. Job applicants who post a resume as part of the job application may also disclose additional Personal Information they elect to disclose in the resume and Bojangles and its Franchisees have access to resumes from the Third Party Service but only to the extent the prospective applicants apply for a location owned by Bojangles or by a Franchisee, as applicable. Job application information of any kind (personal and other information) is used to evaluate experience and qualifications for job opportunities.
We also may collect Personal Information when you participate in activities that we sponsor on third party social media sites such as Facebook®, Twitter®, or Instagram®. Each of these third-party sites has its own privacy policy and terms and conditions established by the site owner and not Bojangles. You are responsible for reviewing and complying with the policies and terms for each social media site in which you participate. Any issues with a social media site should be directed to the applicable site and not to Bojangles.
We may combine Personal Information with demographic information such as your age, birthday, gender, and interests, to provide you with future services and offers. You may always decline to provide such information and choose to opt out of accepting these services and offers. When we combine Personal Information with other information, if the aggregate data set identifies you, we will treat it as Personal Information under this Privacy Policy.

Do Not Track Requests; Third Party Tracking
