Although the sections above describe our primary purpose in collecting your information, in many situations we have more than one purpose. For example, if you complete a Mobile App order we may collect your information to perform our contract with you, but we also collect your information as we have a legitimate interest in maintaining your information after your transaction is complete so that we can quickly and easily respond to any questions about your order. As a result, our collection and processing of your information is based in different contexts upon your consent, our need to perform a contract, our obligations under law, and/or our legitimate interest in conducting our business.

In addition to specific situations identified elsewhere in this policy Le Pain Quotidien only shares personal information in the following situations:

Affiliated companies, carefully selected vendors, business partners and other organizations to provide better service to you. These companies need information about you to perform their service function (such as to process and fulfill your order, verify your credit card information, and to protect you from fraud).
Specially chosen companies that help us with marketing functions (such as manage our Internet business, maintain and manage our customer information, as well as market our products and services).
Vendors to serve advertisements on our behalf across the Internet and to provide analytics services. These entities collect certain information from you (e.g. click stream information, browser type, time and date, hardware/software information, cookie ID, IP address, etc.) when you use our WiFi, Website or Mobile App and use that information to provide advertisements about goods and services that are deemed to be of greater interest to you.

Other Disclosures without Your Consent. Le Pain Quotidien does reserve the right to use or disclose any information as needed to satisfy any law, regulation or legal request, to fulfill your requests, or to cooperate in any law enforcement or similar investigation.
