Opting out of promotional communications will not prevent us from sending non-

Our website may use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, and similar technologies.
These technologies may be placed by KC Finest BBQ, Wix, or third-party service

● Operate the website;
● Maintain security;
● Keep items in your shopping cart;
● Process checkout;
● Maintain account sessions;
● Remember necessary settings; and
● Provide requested website functions.

Because these technologies may be necessary for the website to operate, disabling
them may affect website functionality.

Analytics and Performance Technologies
We may use Wix analytics and similar tools to understand website traffic, visitor
interactions, product interest, site performance, and technical issues. This
information helps us improve our website, products, services, and customer
experience.

Managing Cookies
You may be able to control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Wix may
also provide a cookie-consent or privacy-preference tool on the website. Your
choices may vary depending on your device, browser, location, and the technologies
used by the website.

Blocking or deleting cookies may affect certain website features, including account
access, shopping-cart functions, and checkout. 

​

Our website is hosted and operated using Wix and may connect with third-party
services. These providers may process personal information to provide services to
us or to operate features you request.

These services may include:
● Wix: Website hosting, account functionality, e-commerce, checkout, customer

prevention, refunds, and payment-related support;
● Shipping and delivery carriers: Order fulfillment, delivery, tracking, and

Third-party services may collect or process information under their own privacy
policies. We encourage you to review the privacy notices of third parties whose
services you use or access through our website.

We may share personal information in the following circumstances:
Service Providers
We may share information with vendors and contractors that provide services on our
behalf, such as website hosting, e-commerce operations, payment processing,
shipping, customer support, analytics, marketing, review management, security, and
information technology. These providers are expected to use personal information only

as necessary to provide services to us or as otherwise permitted by law.

Business Transfers
Personal information may be disclosed as part of an actual or contemplated merger,
acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, bankruptcy proceeding, or other
business transaction.

Legal and Safety Reasons
We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to:
● Comply with a subpoena, court order, law, regulation, or legal process;
● Respond to a government or law-enforcement request;
● Protect against fraud, abuse, or security threats;
● Enforce our agreements and policies;
● Protect the rights, property, safety, or security of KC Finest BBQ, our
customers, or others; or
● Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

With Your Direction or Consent, we may share information when you direct us to do so,

authorize the disclosure, or otherwise consent.

Aggregated or De-Identified Information
We may use and disclose aggregated, statistical, or de-identified information that
cannot reasonably be used to identify you. We will not attempt to re-identify de-
identified information except as permitted by applicable law.

We do not knowingly sell personal information in the ordinary course of operating our
business. However, some laws may define certain disclosures to advertising,

analytics, or technology providers as a “sale” or “sharing.” If our practices or
applicable law require an opt-out mechanism, we will provide it as required.

​

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to:
● Provide products and services;
● Complete and document transactions;
● Maintain account, order, subscription, and loyalty-program records;
● Provide customer support;
● Comply with legal, tax, accounting, recordkeeping, and reporting obligations;
● Resolve disputes;
● Enforce agreements; and
● Prevent fraud and protect the security of our website and business.

Retention periods vary depending on the type of information, the purpose for which it
was collected, legal requirements, and legitimate business needs. When information
is no longer needed, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it, subject to
applicable law and technical limitations.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to
protect personal information against unauthorized access, use, alteration, disclosure,
or destruction.

These safeguards may include access controls, secure website connections,
authentication procedures, monitoring, vendor controls, and security practices
provided by Wix and our payment processors.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee
that personal information will never be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed
through a security incident.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights concerning your
personal information, including the right to:
● Request confirmation of whether we process personal information about you;
● Request access to personal information we maintain about you;
● Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
● Request deletion of personal information, subject to legal and operational
exceptions;
● Request a copy of certain personal information in a portable format, where
required by law;
● Opt out of promotional marketing communications;
● Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
● Opt out of certain targeted advertising, sale, sharing, or profiling activities
where applicable; and
● Appeal a decision concerning a privacy-rights request where applicable law
provides that right.

These rights are not absolute and may be limited by applicable law. For example, we
may retain information necessary to complete a transaction, comply with legal
obligations, detect fraud, resolve disputes, maintain security, or exercise or defend
legal claims.
