Our Stores
Here are some of the ways we collect personal information in our Stores and a description of how we use the information:
Shopping
When you buy products or obtain services in our Stores, we ask you for information we need to process your purchase or provide you with the services you requested. Depending on the payment method you use, and as permitted by applicable law, we may ask for information such as your name, mailing address, telephone number, driver’s license or ID number, passport number, checking account information or payment card information. We also collect information about your purchase, such as the items you bought, the price of the items, the payment method you used and if the product was on sale.

Other Ways We Collect Personal Information
In-Store Wi-Fi Data Collection
In certain stores we may use a service that analyzes Wi-Fi signals from mobile devices to measure store occupancy and to identify customer traffic patterns in the store. The service determines the location of a smartphone or wireless device by observing Wi-Fi or Bluetooth signals that are broadcast from that device. Individual devices are identified by a media access control (“MAC”) address that was assigned to the device when it was manufactured. For the service to collect information from your device, the device’s Wi-Fi must be turned on while you are in the store. If your device’s Wi-Fi function is enabled, you will receive a pop-up message that asks whether you agree to allow your device’s Wi-Fi data to be collected while you are connected to the in-store Wi-Fi network. The service provider that collects information from mobile devices in our stores hashes MAC addresses to anonymize the addresses before using them for analysis purposes. The service provider’s reports to us contain only aggregated statistics about visitors to the store. If you change your mind after agreeing to allow your device’s Wi-Fi data to be collected, you can opt out by turning off your device’s Wi-Fi function or by clicking here.
QR Codes
We may use QR codes in connection with certain promotions, contests and special events. If you scan our QR code, you will get an invitation on your mobile device to join our mailing list. To sign up, we ask you for information such as your name, mailing address, email address, telephone numbers, and age. We use the information to communicate with you about our products, services and promotions.
Customer Assistance
You may call our customer service line for information about our products or personal shopping assistance. If you do so, we may ask you for information such as your name, email address, postal address, telephone number and, if you choose to make a purchase, your payment card information. We use this information to respond to your request and process your transaction.

When you make a reservation at a Pussers restaurant or bar, we ask you to provide your name, telephone number and email address. In connection with your reservation, you may choose to provide additional personal information such as food allergies and information about others.
