We provide the Website and our products and services to you subject to the following conditions (this “Policy”), which is subject to, and incorporated by reference into, our Terms of Use. 

Depending upon which of our services you are utilizing, the types of nonpublic personal information that we may collect include: (i) information we receive from you on applications, forms and in other communications to us, whether in writing, in person, by telephone or any other means; (ii) information about your transactions with us, our affiliates, or others; and (iii) information we receive from a consumer reporting agency.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS, CONDITIONS AND PRACTICES SET FORTH HEREIN, DO NOT ACCESS THE WEBSITE OR ANY OF ITS PAGES.

How We Collect Your Information

We do not generally collect information that personally identifies individuals except when individuals knowingly and voluntarily provide such information to us. For example, we will gather information about individuals when they submit orders, register for an account, or submit comments, questions or requests for information to us on this Website. We use information we receive to operate and improve the content of this Website, and to provide the product(s), service(s) or information, or carry out the transaction(s) that you have requested or authorized. We also send you emails and text/SMS messages about promotions if you have opted in, and may retain information for record keeping and legal purposes along with the content of your order.

Cookies and Other Tracking Devices

Every time you come to the Website, our Website’s web server automatically collects and we may use your cookies, web beacons, and other similar tracking technologies (collectively “Tracking Technologies”) to collect “non-personal” information as you browse our Website. For example, any or all of the following information may be accessed, collected, analyzed and stored during or after your visits to our Website: the name of the domain from which you access the Internet; the date and time you access our Website; the pages that you visit on our Website and the sequence in which you visit them; the amount of time that you spend on any given page of our Website; the Internet address of a Website that you visited immediately before visiting our Website; the Internet address of a Website from which you linked directly to our Website, if any; the Internet address of a Website that you visit immediately after leaving our Website; the type of operating system on your computer; and the type of browser that you are using to view a Website. Generally, your email address and all other personal information is collected only when you voluntarily provide that data while registering for activities such as online ordering.

Some of these Tracking Technologies may be placed by third party service providers, such as Google, to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns or email communications. These Tracking Technologies may be used by these service providers to place a persistent Cookie on your computer. Doing this allows the service provider to recognize your computer each time you visit certain pages or open emails and compile anonymous information in relation to those page views. The use of Tracking Technologies by third party service providers is within their control and not ours. We do not control their websites or their policies and practices regarding your information and you should be aware that different rules might apply to the collection, use or disclosure of your information by third parties in connection with their advertisements or promotions and other sites you encounter on the Internet. This Policy does not cover any use of information that a third party service provider may directly collect from you and we do not undertake to confirm, investigate, or police their practices.

Using these Tracking Technologies is a standard practice on the Internet. If you do not want a cookie placed on your computer as a result of using the Website, you may disable cookies altogether by setting your browser or third party software to reject cookies. If you reject the cookie, you may be unable to use portions of our Website that require registration, some pages of the Website might not function properly, and the Website experience will not be capable of being tailored to you from visit to visit. Please consult your web browser's documentation for more information about how to turn cookies on and off for your browser. Cookies are placed on your computer, and accordingly we neither store cookies on our computers nor forward them to any external parties.

By visiting our Website, you acknowledge, understand and hereby agree that you are giving us your consent to track your activities through use of these Tracking Technologies.

Use and Sharing of Information

We use the information you provide in a variety of ways, including processing product orders, conducting promotions, responding to franchising inquiries, processing franchise applications, helping us understand how you use our Website and internal business purposes.

Information of this type may be combined with other sources of information for these purposes.

We will share aggregated demographic information with our affiliates and other third parties. In the event that we go through a business transition, such as a merger, another company acquires us or our affiliates, or we sell a portion of our assets, your personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred. We may, but are under no obligation, to keep information we collect indefinitely. 

We reserve and have the right to disclose any information about you or your use of this Website without your prior permission if we have a good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (i) protect and defend our rights, property or safety or that or those of our affiliates or franchisees, other users of this Website, or the public; (ii) enforce the Terms of Use or other terms for this Website; or (iii) respond to claims that any content violates any law or the rights of third-parties.
