For purposes of this Privacy Notice, “Personal Information” or “PI” is any information that identifies, relates to, describes, or is capable of being associated with, or could be reasonably linked to a consumer or household.

We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Notice at any time, for any reason by posting the updated Privacy Notice, along with the revision date, on the Electronic Platform. It is strongly recommended that you periodically check this page to ensure you are viewing the most current version of the Privacy Notice.

How Long Do We Store And Use Your Personal Information?
We retain information for different periods of time depending on the purposes for which we collect and use it, as described in this Privacy Notice. We will delete or de-identify information when it is no longer needed to fulfill these purposes unless a longer retention period is required to comply with applicable laws. There may be technical or other operational reasons where we are unable to fully delete or de-identify your information. Where this is the case, we will continue to store it securely according to our internal data policies and take reasonable measures to prevent further processing your information. We are required by privacy laws to maintain records of individual rights requests and how we responded to such requests for at least 24 months.

Safeguarding Collected Information (Keeping Information Safe)
It is the goal of PTC to protect your privacy and safeguard your PI during all business and consumer transactions and interactions.
To protect the PI collected or transmitted, PTC has physical, technical, and procedural safeguards in place. These safeguards are based on industry best practices and standards, and the requirements of applicable legislation.
Please note, however, that while PTC attempts to safeguard your PI, no method of transmitting or storing electronic information is ever completely secure, and thus we make no warranty, express, implied, or otherwise, that your information will never be accessed, used, or released in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Notice. IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES (WHETHER CONSEQUENTIAL, DIRECT, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH, A THIRD PARTY'S UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO YOUR INFORMATION, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES ARE BASED ON CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, TORT, OR OTHER THEORIES OF LIABILITY, AND ALSO REGARDLESS OF WHETHER WE ARE GIVEN ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICE THAT DAMAGES WERE POSSIBLE, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS.
We also use reasonable security measures when verifying a consumer privacy request and/or transmitting PI to a consumer in response to a consumer privacy request.
If a data breach compromises your PI, we will notify you and any applicable regulator when we are required to do so by applicable law.
Personal Information Collection for Minors
Our products and website are not directed to minors under the age of 13 and we do not willingly collect or sell the PI of consumers less than 16 years of age. If we confirm that Personal Information has been collected from a consumer under the age of 16, we will delete these records in accordance with applicable laws. If you believe that PTC has collected information of a consumer less than 16 years of age, please contact our Privacy Office at privacy.pilotflyingj.com.

This Privacy Notice is applicable only to the website on which it is posted, and it does not apply to any third-party websites.
The website may contain links to, and media and other content from, third-party websites. These links are to external websites and third parties with which we may have no relationship. Because of the dynamic media capabilities of our website, it may not be clear to you which links are to our website and which are to external, third-party websites. If you click on an embedded third-party link, you will be redirected away from our website to the external third-party website. You can check the URL to confirm that you have left this website.

PTC and some of our third-party business partners (such as advertising services and analytics providers) use cookies, beacons, pixels, and other tracking technologies when you visit any of our websites or use any of our Pilot Flying J mobile applications. These technologies help us to bring you a more cohesive and worthwhile experience.
Cookies
A cookie is a small file created by a web server that can be stored on your device (if you allow) for use either during a particular browsing session (a "session cookie") or a future session (a "persistent cookie"). Many browsers are designed to accept cookies by default; however, you can modify your browser settings either to notify you when you have received a cookie or to refuse to accept cookies. Please note that certain areas of our websites and applications may not function properly if you set your browser not to accept cookies.
Some examples of why we use cookies:
- To learn about how you interact with our websites
- To detect and prevent fraud
- To conduct analytics activities
- To improve our websites and services
- To facilitate Interest Based Advertising
Other Online Tracking Technologies
In many cases, the collection of your personal information using these online tracking technologies is controlled by PTC. However, in some cases the data collected through use of these cookies is controlled by our vendors or other third parties. When a third-party controls that collection, Pilot strives to provide you with links to those providers where you can submit privacy requests related to their services.
Examples of other online tracking technologies we may use:
Beacons/Pixels
These are embedded images or objects that are used on web pages or emails. They help companies to unobtrusively understand how visitors navigate website pages and can verify when specific content has been accessed. We may use web beacons or pixels to:
- Improve our websites and services
- Detect and prevent fraud
- Verify system and server integrity
- Better understand how many people visit our webpages or view specific content
Embedded Scripts
We may use embedded scripts that collect information about your interactions with our websites, mobile apps, and advertisements. These scripts are temporarily loaded into your web browser and are active only while you are connected to our website, mobile app, or advertisement.
Location Technology
We may use global positioning or other location identifying technologies to locate your device. This helps PTC ensure we are compliant with geographically significant regulations, as well as other consumer services like finding the next PTC location or booking driver services like showers and parking.
In-app Tracking
Mobile application tracking may include a variety of technologies like software development kit (SDK), device identifiers such as mobile ad IDs (MAID), or identifiers for advertisers (IDFA) that associates your user activity on a given app and helps us track activity across multiple apps and/or devices.
Device and Activity Monitoring
We may use technologies that monitor and record your interactions with our websites and mobile apps, such as your keystrokes and click-related activity. These technologies may also collect and analyze information from your device, such your operating system, plug-ins, and system fonts.
We may monitor devices and activity:
- To enhance and customize your experience
- To better respond to your inquiries and requests
- To detect and prevent fraud
- To detect cyber incidents and other malicious activity
- To verify systems and server availability and integrity
- To troubleshoot issues
- To improve our websites, mobile apps, and services

Third-party Analytics
PTC may use analytics providers - like Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics, or others - to obtain analytical information about our websites and applications. These providers may use cookies and other tracking technologies that help us analyze how our guests use or interact with our websites, services, advertisements, and mobile applications.
For more information about Google Analytics, please see the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Analytics Privacy Policy.
In addition to other universal opt out mechanisms, you may exercise choices regarding the use of browser cookies from Google Analytics by downloading the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Learn more about Adobe Analytics by visiting the Adobe Privacy Center.
You can also make choices about data collection for certain companies by visiting an industry consumer choice platform such as the NAI (https://optout.networkadvertising.org/) or DAA (https://optout.aboutads.info/). You may still receive ads after limiting processing of information for interest-based advertising, but those ads may be less relevant to your interests.
Email Opt-Out
If you no longer wish to receive communications from us via email, you may opt-out by clicking the “unsubscribe” link available at the bottom of our email communications.
Do Not Track
Emerging tools and technology, such as Global Privacy Control (GPC) and other Universal Opt Out Mechanisms (UOOM), provide users the ability to establish their tracking preferences and seamlessly communicate those preferences to any website they visit. As part of our commitment to protect and respect your privacy, we are working to consistently incorporate these tools into our digital assets. Currently, you can set your tracking preferences through the use of the cookie banner (on your first visit) or the cookie icon (on subsequent visits) displayed when you visit our site, or by clicking the “Your Privacy Choices” link at the bottom of our site.
Rights And Choices About How We Use And Disclose Your Information
Understanding Your Individual Rights
PTC values our customers and appreciates the opportunity to serve you. In addition to wanting you to understand how we secure and process your data, we also want you to understand your rights regarding the PI that you have shared with us. There are numerous state laws that combine to specify the following rights:
- Right to Access - the right to know the PI we have collected about you
- Right to Delete - the right to delete the PI we have collected about you (restrictions apply)
- Right to Rectify - the right to correct/amend PI we have collected about you
- Right to Restrict - the right to limit the use or disclosure of certain categories of PI
- Right to a Portable Copy - the right to request a copy of the PI we have collected about you (in a portable copy, if possible)(dependent on your location)
- Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing - the right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of PI we have collected about you (dependent on your location)
- Right to Opt Out of Targeted Advertising and/or Profiling (dependent on your location)

If a request is submitted in a manner that is not one of the designated methods for submission, or if the request is deficient in some manner unrelated to our verification process, we will provide you with specific directions on how to submit the request or remedy any deficiencies with the request, as applicable.
If requests from a consumer are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character, we may either (1) charge a reasonable fee, or (2) refuse to act on the request and notify the consumer of the reason for refusing the request. If we charge a fee, the amount will be based upon the administrative costs of providing the information or communication or taking the action requested.
PTC will not discriminate against consumers for exercising any of the rights described herein. This includes denying goods or services, charging different prices, or providing a different level or quality of service. However, PTC can offer consumer’s different rates (or service) if that difference is reasonably related to the value of the consumer’s data.
Access Rights – Requests to Know

We will not provide specific pieces of PI if the disclosure creates a substantial, articulable, and unreasonable risk to (1) the security of that PI, (2) the consumer’s account with us, or (3) the security of our systems or networks.

Upon receiving a request to opt-out, we will act upon it as soon as feasibly possible and in accordance with any applicable law. We will notify all third parties to whom we have sold your PI, as required by law. We will notify you when this has been completed.
If we have a good-faith, reasonable, and documented belief that a request to opt-out is fraudulent, we may deny the request. In this scenario, we will inform the requesting party that we will not comply with the request and provide an explanation of why we believe the request is fraudulent.
Opt-out Preference Signals
An opt-out preference signal is sent by a platform, technology, or mechanism on behalf of consumers and communicates a consumer’s choice to opt out of the sale and sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising with all businesses that recognize the signal, without having to make individualized requests. The signal can be set on certain browsers or through opt-out plug-in tools.
We recognize the Global Privacy Control signal and do so at the browser level and it does not apply to personal information we may collect offline or that we may associate only with your name or email address. This means that if the signal is sent through a specific browser, we will recognize it for that browser only, and only with respect to the identifiers for that browser. If you would like more information about opt-out preference signals, including how to use them, the Global Privacy Control website has such information (https://globalprivacycontrol.org/).
Opting-In After Opting-Out of the Sale or Sharing of Personal Information
If you have previously opted-out of the sale or sharing of your PI and would like to opt-in, you can do the following:
- If you are a Loyalty member, you can change the setting in your Loyalty account, via the Loyalty Portal.
- If you are not a Loyalty member, you opt-in by registering for a Loyalty account.
We use a two-step opt-in process through which you must first clearly request to opt-in, and then separately confirm your choice to opt-in.
