Enable Accessibility Order Now Notice of Potential Payment Card Incident Notice of Potential Payment Card Incident Church’s Chicken takes the security of our guests’ payment card data seriously. Late last month, Cajun Operating Company (“Church’s Chicken” or “Church’s”) became aware that unauthorized activity occurred involving the payment processing systems that services our company-operated restaurants. Our company immediately retained a leading cybersecurity forensics firm, to help us contain and remediate the activity, and launch an investigation to determine the extent to which information in Church’s systems may have been impacted. In addition, we are continuing to cooperate with federal law enforcement and have notified payment card networks and credit monitoring agencies. The Church’s system uses multiple payment processing systems and, as a result, not all Church’s restaurants – and none of our franchised locations – are believed to be impacted by this incident. We are taking steps to contain and remediate any unauthorized access in our systems, and we are working hard to determine the specific locations and dates for each restaurant that may have been involved. To ensure guests have the latest information, we have set up a dedicated page on our website – www.churchs.com/security – where we will post information and updates about this incident. Currently, we have posted on our website a list of restaurant locations that may be impacted. Guests may also call our toll free call center at (866) 345-6788, which is open 7am CT to Midnight CT, 7 days-a-week. Church’s will provide updates once we have completed our investigation and know more about any payment cards that may have been impacted. Church’s is committed to protecting the privacy and security of our customers. While our investigation continues, we would like to remind all of our guests to be vigilant and that it is always good practice to review your payment card statements regularly and report any unusual or unauthorized purchases to your card issuer.
