You may provide such information online or through other communications with us, including visits to our restaurants. We may combine the Personal Data that we obtain about you from these sources.
We collect Personal Data about you to (i) provide information to you regarding the Services we provide; (ii) provide answers to your inquiries or questions; and (iii) maintain regular communication with you as may be necessary to inform you of offers, updates and other information regarding us and our Services.
