We may also use cookies to monitor traffic, improve our Site and make it easier and/or relevant for your use. We use these technologies to:
You can set your browser or device to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. If you delete your cookies or if you set your browser or device to decline these technologies, some services may not function properly. Our services do not currently change the way they operate upon detection of a Do Not Track or similar signal, but see “Opt-Out Preference Signals,” below.
Online Analytics
We also use various types of online analytics, including Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”), on our Services. Google Analytics uses cookies or other tracking technologies to help us analyze how users interact with and use our services, compile reports on the related activities, and provide other services related to Site and app activity and usage. The technologies used by Google may collect information such as your IP address, time of visit, whether you are a return visitor, and any referring site or app. The information generated by Google Analytics will be transmitted to and stored by Google and will be subject to Google’s privacy policy. To learn more about Google’s partner services and to learn how to opt-out of tracking of analytics by Google, click here.
Our Site may contain links to other sites, including, among others, those of advertisers, other third parties and companies whose trademarks may appear on our Site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of the sites to which we link.
Tracking Technologies – Your Additional Choices
Browser Settings; In addition, you can exercise control over browser-based cookies by adjusting the settings on your browser, and mobile devices may offer ad and data limitation choices. Please note that when you use cookie control tools, you will have to change your settings for each browser and device you use, and your limitation on cookies can limit the functionality of online services you use, including our services. Use the help function on your browser or click on the applicable links below to learn more:
In addition, third party tools may enable you to search for and opt-out of some of these trackers, such as the Ghostery browser plug-in available at https://www.ghostery.com/.
Mobile Device Settings: You can use mobile device settings to limit mobile tracking technologies and associated activities. For instance, you can adjust or reset the advertising identifiers on your mobile device in the device settings of iOS and Android devices. iOS users can visit Settings > Privacy > Advertising > Reset Advertising Identifier. Android users can visit Google settings > Ads > Reset advertising ID. These controls work much like deleting cookies in a browser—the device is harder to associate with past activity, but tracking may still occur using the new advertising identifier.

Please visit https://www.privacyrights.info/ to opt-out of the sale of PI by participating third parties. You must opt out on every device and browser you use in order to effectuate your “Do Not Sell” requests from these parties.

SmartPay RewardsSM and EG Rewards and certain promotional programs at the point-of-sale (collectively, the “Rewards Programs”) are voluntary programs that provide you with various benefits, including discounts on fuel, access to coupons and other rewards.
In order to provide you with the benefits described above, we use the types of personal information about you described below to identify you as a member of the Rewards Program and provide you with relevant messaging, coupons and offers. These financial incentives are reasonably related to the value of the personal information you provide.
The following are the categories of personal information that we collect from you in connection with your membership in the Rewards Programs:
The value to our business of any individual consumer’s personal information is dependent on a number of factors, including, for example, whether and to what extent you take advantage of any coupons, discounts or other offers provided under the Rewards Programs.
We also incur a variety of expenses related to the Rewards Programs. We make this investment in order to offer a more personalized and relevant customer experience. Expense associated with the Rewards Programs include, if offered, discounts on fuel, discounts on items purchased in our stores, and access to offers only available to Rewards Program members. The expense associated with the Rewards Program incentives will vary as it is dependent on your engagement with the Rewards Programs, including your total annual spend with us and the frequency and depth of discounts you choose to use.
We do not calculate the value of personal information in our accounting statements. Whether we create overall value from our Rewards Programs that could be directly or reasonably related to the value of personal information would depend on the extent to which the sales generated by the Rewards Programs exceed the above-referenced expenses associated with offering them.
You can choose to opt in and become a SmartPay RewardsSM member by clicking here or by downloading the app from either the App Store or the Google Play Store. You can choose to opt in and become an EG Rewards member by speaking to an associate at one of our QuikStop stores.
If you no longer wish to be a member of any of our Rewards Programs, you can withdraw from any program at any time by emailing us at guestservices@cumberlandfarms.com.
If you opt out of any of the Rewards Programs in which you are a member, any accumulated points, fuel rewards, and progress towards free or discounted products associated with such membership will be deleted. If you later re-join the Rewards Program from which you withdrew, any such deleted points or other benefits will not be reinstated.
Information on the terms and conditions of the Rewards Programs can be found here.

As described more below, subject to meeting the verification requirements under applicable U.S. Privacy Laws, California and Colorado residents may exercise any of the following rights via our webform or by calling 1-800-225-9702.
(2) Specific Personal Information
You may request to confirm if we are processing your Personal Information and, if we are, to obtain a transportable copy, subject to applicable request limits, of your Personal Information that we have collected and are maintaining. We have no obligation to re-identify information or to keep Personal Information longer than we need it or are required to by applicable law to retain it to comply with access requests.
You may exercise your right to know twice in any 12-month period, measured from the date we receive your first request. If you submit additional requests, we will either: (i) proceed with honoring your request; or (ii) deny your request in writing.
Verification: In order to exercise your rights, we will need to obtain information to locate you in our records or verify your identity depending on the nature of the request. If you are submitting a request on behalf of a household, we will need to verify each member of the household in the manner set forth below.
Authorized Agents: You may use an authorized agent to exercise your rights on your behalf. If you are making a requests to know, to correct or to delete through an authorized agent, you or the authorized agent must provide written authorization and we will verify the identity of you and the authorized agent as described above. Alternatively, for California residents, we will accept a legal Power of Attorney under the California Probate Code to the authorized agent. To make a request using an authorized agent, use the webform and upload documentation demonstrating the agent’s authority to exercise rights on your behalf.
Opt-Out Preference Signals
Certain U.S. Privacy Laws require businesses to process signals sent by a platform, technology, or mechanism, enabled by individuals on their devices or browsers, that communicate the individual’s choice to opt-out of the Sale and Sharing of personal information. These signals are referred to in California as opt-out preference signals (“OOPS”). To implement an OOPS, you can download an internet browser or a plugin to use on your current internet browser and follow the settings to enable the OOPS. As of the Effective Date, the CCPA's regulations, which are supposed to set forth requirements as to OOPS, have not yet been finalized. We will process OOPS as specifically required when the regulations are finalized. In the meantime, to our knowledge, we have configured the settings of our consent management platform to receive and process OOPS on our Site.
Timing: We will process Requests to Delete, Requests to Correct and Requests to Know within 45 calendar days, unless we need more time, in which case we will notify you and may take an additional 45 calendar days (up to 90 calendar days total) to process your request.
Appeals: If you are a Colorado resident and wish to appeal our response to your request to exercise your privacy rights, please contact us using any of the methods described in ”Contact Us,” above. Within 45 days after receipt of an appeal, we will inform you of any action taken in response to the appeal, if any, along with a written explanation of the reasons for such action or inaction. We may extend the 45-day period by 60 additional days where reasonably necessary.
Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you in a manner prohibited by the CCPA because you exercise your CCPA rights. However, we may charge a different price or rate, or offer a different level or quality of good or service, to the extent that doing so is reasonably related to the value of the applicable data. In addition, we may offer you financial incentives for the collection, sale, retention and use of your PI as permitted by the CCPA that can, without limitation, result in reasonably different prices, rates, or quality levels. The material aspects of any financial incentive will be explained and described in its program terms. Please note that participating in incentive programs is entirely optional, you will have to affirmatively opt-in to the program and you can opt-out of each program (i.e., terminate participation and forgo the ongoing incentives) prospectively by following the instructions in the applicable program description and terms. We may add or change incentive programs and/or their terms by posting notice on the program descriptions and terms linked to above so check them regularly.
Limitation of Rights
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, we may collect, use and disclose your PI as required or permitted by applicable law and this may override your CCPA rights. In addition, we need not honor any of your requests to the extent that doing so would infringe upon our or any other person or party’s rights or conflict with applicable law.
Additional California Notices
California's "Shine the Light" law permits California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of PI to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.
Separate from CCPA “Do Not Sell” rights, California residents who provide personal information in obtaining products or services for personal, family, or household use are entitled to request and obtain from us once a calendar year information about the customer information we shared, if any, with other businesses for their own direct marketing use. If applicable, this information would include the categories of customer information and the names and addresses of those businesses with which we shared customer information for the immediately prior calendar year.
To obtain this information, please send an email message to guestservices@cumberlandfarms.com with "Request for California Privacy Information" on the subject line and in the body of your message.
We will provide the requested information to you at your e-mail address in response. Please be aware that not all information sharing is covered by the "Shine the Light" requirements and only information on covered sharing will be included in our response.
As these rights and your CCPA rights are not the same and exist under different laws, you must exercise your rights under each law separately.
Additional Nevada Notice
Nevada “consumers” have the right to instruct us not to “sell” “covered information” as those terms are defined by Chapter 603A of the Nevada Revised Statutes. Although we do not currently “sell” “covered information” of Nevada “consumers” as those terms are defined under that law, you may contact us at guestservices@cumberlandfarms.com and provide your name, Nevada resident address, and email address to be verified and exercise your opt-out rights in the event we do sell covered information under that law in the future. If you change your email address or other contact information, contact us in the same manner to update your contact information to help facilitate your opt-out. Changing your contact information elsewhere (e.g., informational requests, account information, etc.) will not update your Nevada opt-out information and we will only use the information provided to our opt-out program for managing opt-outs. It is your responsibility to keep your opt-out information current. If after opting-out you direct us to share you covered information with others, we will do so regardless of your prior opt-out.
