4. How does McDonald’s collect your information?

  • make sure all features work properly;
  • remember your country and language settings; and
  • remember your game progress.

McDonald’s uses your information because it has a legitimate reason to do so, that is to help you use all features of this website properly.

10. What privacy rights do you have?

You can ask McDonald’s to:

  • tell you what information it has about you;
  • fix your information that is wrong;
  • to delete your information;
  • check again if it says “no” to your request;

But this website does not connect information to a specific person. So, McDonald’s cannot find information linked just to you from this website alone.

For other McDonald’s services, people can exercise these rights. The McDonald’s Global Customer Privacy Statement has more information. In any case, McDonald’s will not treat you unfairly for using your privacy rights.

This website does not listen to special “Do Not Track” signals. That is because there is no clear way for computers to use these signals yet. This website also does not look for “Global Privacy Control” signals. This website does not sell your information or use it for ads, so these signals are not needed here. This webpage has more information about “Global Privacy Control”: https://globalprivacycontrol.org/.
