This Notice also does not apply to those websites that are solely operated and maintained by third-party vendors. Additionally, please note that the “Statement” section of this Notice, which describes our collection and use of information, also serves as our Notice at Collection for California and Colorado residents for purposes of the CCPA and CPA. For information about the data collection practices of the vendor that operates our employee application portal, please visit the Employee and Applicant Privacy Notice. Bubble Zone does not control the website terms and conditions or any data collection or privacy practices of any third-party websites.

We Collect Personal Information You Provide

We will collect information that personally identifies you (“Personal Information”), which may include your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, payment information, month and day of birth, vehicle identification number, and license plate, and we will use and share such Personal Information pursuant to this Notice and applicable law.

Information Collected

Bubble Zone collects Personal Information that you provide directly to us. Personal Information is required to use certain Site or App features, for example, to create a Bubble Zone Account (see below), to purchase an Unlimited Car Wash (“UCW”) membership, and to purchase a retail car wash.

Unlimited Car Wash Membership

If you purchase an Unlimited Wash Club membership, you may be required to provide certain Personal Information, including, but not limited to, your name, mobile phone number, payment information, mailing address, email address, and any other Personal Information as may be required to complete your UCW membership purchase at the point of sale, whether online, through the App, or at a store location. This Personal Information will be saved as a profile in connection with your UCW membership. If you are an existing UCW member purchasing an additional UCW membership for an additional vehicle, you will need to provide your current UCW membership number to facilitate the transaction. If you contact us with any requests or inquiry regarding your UCW membership, such as updating your profile information, modifying your existing UCW membership, or transferring your UCW membership to another vehicle, then the information in your request or inquiry may be connected to your UCW membership profile. When you purchase a UCW membership, it will read your license plate.

Bubble Zone Account

You may have the option of creating an online account with us on our Site or App (your “Bubble Zone Account”). To create a Bubble Zone Account, you must provide your first and last name, email address, and mobile number, and create a password, which password is collected with your email address at login. You can also add your payment information to your Bubble Zone account to facilitate faster purchases. If you link your UCW membership to your Bubble Zone Account, any profile information previously collected will be added to your Bubble Zone Account. Any other information that we may receive from you, such as through phone or email communications with our Customer Care Team or otherwise, may also be received by us and added to your Bubble Zone Account.

Mobile Phone Number

If you elect to communicate with us via text or provide us a mobile phone number, we may send you text messages from our systems, which may include the use of an automated dialing system, regarding our services and your business transactions and requests to us. Your mobile carrier’s message and data rates apply to all texts that you may send to or receive from us, including marketing texts as set forth below. Data obtained from you in connection with any text messaging may include your mobile phone number, your carrier’s name, and the date, time, and content of your messages and other information you provide to us. To opt out of receiving texts, see “Communication Opt-Out” below.

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and License Plate

If you make a vehicle damage claim against Mister, we may collect your VIN and license plate number, name, phone number, email, automobile make and model, and auto insurance information, and use the same for processing and handling your claim. This information may be collected directly by Bubble Zone or through Bubble Zone’s online claims platform. Your VIN and license plate information may also be received at the time of UCW enrollment at our locations. This information may be added to your UCW membership profile or your Bubble Zone Account, as applicable.

Payment Information

When you purchase a UCW membership or retail wash, your credit or debit card or other financial information is transmitted directly to a third-party payment processor in accordance with applicable Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards. For UCW membership purchases, your credit or debit card or other financial information in a tokenized version is automatically retained by Bubble Zone in your UCW membership profile or Bubble Zone Account, as applicable, and we maintain a record of your UCW membership purchases. In the case of a retail wash purchase, your credit or debit card or other financial information in a tokenized version is retained by Bubble Zone only if you choose to save your payment information in your Bubble Zone Account. We will also maintain a record of your retail wash purchases.

Location Services

Our Site and App allow you to opt into geolocation tracking. If you opt into such location tracking, we will collect information and data about your precise geographic location from time to time. As a result of the location data we collect, we may deliver information or content specific to your location to you via the Site or App. If you disable the collection of geolocation information, some features of our Site or App may be limited. Additionally, the opt-out mechanism on some devices and operating systems may not be persistent, which may require you to opt out of such collection each time you access the Site or App through your device.

Communication Opt-Out

General.

We, or third parties on our behalf, may use your Personal Information to deliver communications to you, either by hard copy in the mail or electronically via email, text message, or App push notifications. If you provide us more than one email or mobile phone number, you should review your communications settings for each email and mobile phone number. Opting out of communications for one email address or mobile phone number does not opt out any other email address or mobile phone number that may be associated with your UCW membership profile, Bubble Zone Account, or App.

For any text messages, your mobile carrier’s standard message rates and other charges will apply. All such charges for text messages are billed by and payable to your mobile carrier. We will not be liable for any delays in your receipt of any text messages. Delivery is subject to effective transmission from your mobile phone carrier. Maximum number of text messages per month will vary based on your transactions and whether you opt in to receive marketing communications from us via text.

Transactional Communications. Transactional communications contain information necessary for you to use our car wash services. Legal notices are a form of transactional communications that contain information we are required to provide you by applicable law. The number of transactional communications (whether via email or text) may vary per month. If you prefer to receive transactional communications via email, set up your Bubble Zone Account (see above). To opt out of transactional communication texts, other than legal notices, you may text STOP to the number that appears in your transactional communication texts, We may send you a confirming message via email or text that you have been unsubscribed or have opted out. If you opt out of transactional communication texts, you will also be automatically opted out of marketing communication texts (but not legal notice texts). If you want to opt out of receiving any communications from Bubble Zone, whether transactional, marketing, or legal notices, you must terminate your UCW membership, close your Bubble Zone Account, and/or uninstall the App, as applicable. If you opt out of receiving all messages from us and later purchase online a retail wash as a guest or provide us with a new mobile number, you may nonetheless receive new transactional and marketing communications from us via email and/or text. Note that if you request to opt out by another means, it may take several days for your opt-out to be effective, and you may continue to receive email or text messages in the interim.

Marketing Communications.If you opt in to receive marketing communications from us, you must submit your name, email, and/or mobile number. Consent to receive marketing communications is not a condition of making any purchase. The number of marketing communications (whether via email or text) may vary per month. You may opt out of marketing communication emails by using the unsubscribe link in the email. You may opt out of marketing communication texts by replying STOP to the message you received. We may send you a confirming message via email or text to confirm that you have been unsubscribed or have opted out. Note that if you request to opt out by another means, it may take several days for your unsubscribe or opt-out to be effective, and you may continue to receive email or text messages in the interim. To opt out of other marketing communications (e.g., postal marketing and live or prerecorded call marketing), please contact us as set forth below. Opting out of marketing communications does not opt you out of transactional communications whether by email or text. If you want to opt out of transactional communication (other than legal notices) or all communications, please see below.

App Push Notifications

In the App, you have the option to enable certain reminders or “push” notifications, including advertisements when you are close to a Bubble Zone location, tip reminders after your service, and weather updates. If you enable push notifications, you will have the option to disable such notifications at any time.

Sweepstakes and Contests

Mister may offer sweepstakes or contests. To participate, you must submit certain Personal Information, which may include your name, email, employer name and type, mobile phone number, physical address, work address, and other Personal Information related to the sweepstakes or contest. You acknowledge and agree that data collected via sweepstakes and contests will be (i) used to contact you with marketing communications, (ii) shared with third-party vendors to send surveys and emails on behalf of Bubble Zone, and (iii) subject to additional terms provided to you at such time. Personal Information collected via sweepstakes and contests may also need to be shared with state regulatory agencies if required for the sweepstakes or contests.

Data Automatically Collected

LPR

We will automatically scan and collect data from the License Plate affixed to your vehicle each time you obtain services at any location. We use this information to facilitate the provision of services to you, to track your usage of our services, and to personalize our marketing communications to you.

Site IP Addresses, Cookies, and Similar Tracking Technologies

When you use the Site, we and our Site vendors use technologies such as cookies (i.e., small pieces of data stored on your device’s hard drive by your browser), web beacons, pixel tags, and similar technologies to automatically collect internet protocol (“IP”) addresses assigned to the computers, mobile phones, and other devices you use, your internet service provider, device ID number, approximate geographic location, browser type, Site pages visited, websites you access before and after visiting the Site, and data related to how and when you use the Site (e.g., date and time stamps, clickstream data, browsing activity, and data about search terms and websites that direct you to the Site). We may combine this Personal Information with other collected data (including other Personal Information) and data obtained from third parties and save this information to your UCW membership profile, Bubble Zone Account, or elsewhere in our systems. For more information about cookies, or to opt out of certain cookies, visit our Privacy Preference Center. Most browsers automatically accept cookies. You can disable this function by changing your browser settings, but disabling cookies may impact your use and enjoyment of the site. Not all features or functions of the Site may work properly if you disable cookies. You cannot disable all cookies, such as cookies that are essential to the functionality of the site.

Do Not Track Requests

Due to the automatic collection of data using cookies, we do not honor “do not track” requests.

App Device IDs, Widgets, and Similar Tracking Technologies

Analytics. We may occasionally enable and implement various analytics tools, such as Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics, which are analytics tools provided by Google to collect and process Personal Information consisting of certain telematics about your use of the Site, identifiers for mobile devices (e.g., Android Advertising Identifiers and Advertising Identifiers for iOS) and, in certain instances, IP addresses. Google sets and reads cookies to collect such Personal Information and your web browser will automatically send such Personal Information to Google.

We may also enable and implement additional add-on services to Google Analytics, such as Demographics and Interest Reporting. Demographics and Interest Reporting gathers aggregate information such as the age and gender of users, along with certain interests those users express through their purchasing activities and other online activities, by tracking users across websites and across time.

Google uses this data to provide us and our third-party vendors with aggregated and anonymized reports that we use to improve the Site’s structure and content. To learn more about how Google uses data, visit Google’s Privacy Policy and Google’s page on “How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services”. You may download and install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on for each web browser you use. Using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on does not prevent the use of other analytics tools. To learn more about Google Analytics cookies, visit Google Analytics Cookie Usage on Sites.

Online Behavioral Advertising. We may occasionally use advertising networks and services provided by third-party vendors. These services collect data about your interactions with the Site and the App and other websites across the internet and use such data to target personal content and advertisements to you for goods and services. The data collected may be associated with your Personal Information. The targeted content and advertisements may appear on the Site and on other websites and may be sent to you via email. Advertising networks often gather data about consumers who view advertisements to make inferences about a consumer’s interests and preferences, which enables the delivery of advertisements directly targeted to the consumer’s specific interests. This practice is often referred to as “online behavioral advertising”.

For example, we may use Google Ads to serve ads on our behalf across the internet and on the Site. Google uses cookies and similar technologies to collect data about your visits to the Site and your interaction with our services to generate targeted advertisements to you on other websites that you visit across the internet. To opt out of remarketing advertising provided through Google, to customize your ad preferences, or to limit Google’s collection or use of such data, visit Google’s Safety Center and Google’s Ad Settings and follow Google’s personalized ad opt-out instructions. Opting out will not affect your use of the Site.

To change your preferences with respect to certain online ads and to obtain more information about third-party ad networks and online behavioral advertising, visit the National Advertising Initiative Consumer opt-out page or the Digital Advertising Alliance Self-Regulatory Program. Changing your settings with individual browsers or ad networks will not necessarily carry over to other browsers or ad networks. As a result, depending on the opt-outs you request, you may occasionally still see our ads.

Social Media. We are active on social media, including Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn (“Social Media”). Anything you post on Social Media is public information and will not be treated confidentially. We may post (or re-post) any comments or content that you post on our Social Media pages. You agree to hold Bubble Zone and its affiliates harmless and without liability for the results of any and all content you post on Bubble Zone’s Social Media.

The Site and App allow you to connect and share data with Social Media. These features may require us to use cookies, plug-ins, and APIs provided by such Social Media to facilitate those communications and features and may result in the Social Media provider sharing additional information back to us regarding you and your Social Media profile that you elect to link to your Bubble Zone Account.

The Site and App may use advertising networks and services offered by Social Media to deliver advertising content. Use of these services requires Social Media to implement cookies or pixel tags to deliver ads to you while you access the site.

Your use of Social Media is governed by the privacy policies and terms of the third parties that own and operate those websites and not by this Notice. We encourage you to review those policies and terms.

Account Authentication. As a convenience, we may leverage third-party platforms, such as Google, Facebook and/or Apple, to provide login authentication to access your Mister Account or App (i.e., single sign-on). Implementation of single sign-on may require us to use cookies, plug-ins, and/or APIs provided by such third-party platforms. If you elect to use this feature, we will be required to pass through to the applicable third-party platform certain of your Personal Information, and the third-party platform may provide us additional information about you, which information we will collect and attach to your Bubble Zone Account.

Videos and Embedded Content. The Site and App may contain videos and embedded content provided by Mister or third parties, including visible content and/or embedded feed scripts. Mister and such third parties may collect data about how you interact with such content. By watching the videos and interacting with such content, you agree to the collection, sharing, and use of such data.

Data Collected from Third-Party Sources

We obtain data, which may include Personal Information, about individuals from various third-party sources, and we may combine that data with Personal Information or other data we collect. This enhances our existing data about our users, improves our ability to contact users, and enhances our marketing capabilities. For example, we may collect information about you if one of our members sends you a retail wash or membership as a gift. In such cases we collect the gift recipient’s name, email address, and/or phone number in order to process and send the gift.
