Points may also be earned in other ways available to 7Rewards Program members, such as by participating in periodic offers (like weekly deals), making regular purchases of select products, or by participating in surveys or other customer insight opportunities. Accumulated points may be redeemed for purchases of eligible products. 7Rewards Program members may also be eligible for discounts on fuel purchases at participating 7-Eleven stores, as well as for certain other benefits like exclusive offers or punch programs that can earn free products at participating stores.
7-Eleven collects Personal Information in connection with providing the 7Rewards Program in accordance with this Privacy Notice.In general, we may collect (i) identifiers and Personal Information under the California Consumer Records Act (name, email, phone number, address, zip code, date of birth, payment information); (ii) commercial information (account credentials, transaction records, points balance and history, records of 7Reward Program redemptions, records of participation in 7Rewards Program-related offers or promotions); (iii) Internet or other electronic network information (such as data reflecting your interaction with the 7-Eleven app, in-store technologies, or ads connected to the 7Rewards Program); (iv) geolocation data (if you allow your mobile device to collect your location); (v) audio or visual information (e.g., if you agree to record your response to surveys or other customer insight opportunities), and (vi) inferences drawn from any of the foregoing relating to consumers.
You opt-in to the 7Rewards Program by creating a 7Rewards account or when downloading the app. You may also withdraw from the 7Rewards Program at any time within the app by using the “Delete Account” feature or by calling us at 1 (855) 711-5933 (use service code 711). Please note, choosing to delete your Personal Information may result in the loss of some or all accumulated points, offers, and/or other rewards offered by the 7Rewards Program.
7-Eleven does not calculate a monetary value for the Personal Information it collects through the 7Rewards Program. The value each 7Rewards Program member receives can vary substantially by individual, and depends on a number of variables such as (without limitation) (1) the extent to which members make qualifying purchases, (2) the extent to which members redeem points, (3) the extent to which members take advantage of fuel discounts and/or other offers and Rewards, (4) whether members are regular or occasional customers, and (5) whether members elect to participate in surveys, customer insight opportunities, or other points earning opportunities.
7-Eleven believes the value members receive from the 7Rewards Program through discounted prices and other benefits, less the expense to 7-Eleven resulting from the offering of products and benefits, is reasonably related to the value of Personal Information it collects through the 7Rewards Program.
