What is a Del Taco franchisee required to do upon becoming aware of a Security Breach?

According to Del Taco's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must take immediate action upon discovering a security breach. Specifically, the franchisee is required to notify Del Taco immediately after becoming aware of any actual or reasonably suspected loss, unauthorized, or unlawful processing, destruction, damage, alteration, or unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, Personal Information, which is defined as a "Security Breach".

In addition to immediate notification, the Del Taco franchisee must cooperate with Del Taco in the event of a Security Breach. This cooperation includes sharing all information relevant to the Security Breach that is requested by Del Taco. This ensures that Del Taco can take appropriate steps to address the breach and mitigate any potential damage.

These requirements are in place to protect the personal information of customers and maintain the integrity of the Del Taco brand. Failure to comply with these obligations could have serious consequences for the franchisee, including potential legal and financial repercussions. Franchisees should ensure they have robust security procedures and practices in place to prevent security breaches and that they are prepared to respond quickly and effectively if a breach does occur.
