WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

Personal Information You Provide Us

You can visit our Websites without submitting personal information. If you elect to provide data that personally identifies you (“Personal Information”) such as your first and last name, email address, birth date, mailing address, phone number, credit card information, or other details to help you with your experience, we will collect, use, and share such Personal Information pursuant to this Policy and applicable law.

Franchise Information. If you submit a Franchise Inquiry Form, we will collect your name, proposed city/location, phone number, e-mail address, certain financial information, and employment/industry experience information. 

Order & Payment Data. When you make a purchase online, we use a PCI-compliant payment processor vendor to help us facilitate payment.  We have contracted with our vendor to collect your personal information to process your payment.   You can obtain more information on their data privacy and security practices at https://squareup.com/us/en/legal/general/privacy.   Company does not receive your credit card, debit card or other financial information when you make a payment- such information is provided directly to our payment processor vendor.  However, Company does receive information about your purchase and your contact information (e.g. name, email address, mailing address, phone number) and will keep a record of your purchases,

Marketing Communications; Email Opt-Out. If you provide your email address to us or subscribe to our newsletters, you understand that we may send you emails, including marketing emails.  We may use third-party providers to deliver communications to you. You may opt-out of marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link in the email or contacting us at [email protected] with “Unsubscribe” in the subject line. Opting out of marketing communications does not opt you out of communications about your transactions with us.

Text Messaging In addition to the methods mentioned above, we may also use text messaging as a means of communication with you. If you provide us with your mobile phone number, you understand and consent that we may send text messages to that number for various purposes, including but not limited to order updates, marketing promotions, and customer service notifications. Standard messaging rates or other charges may apply depending on your mobile carrier plan. You can opt-out of receiving text messages at any time by replying “STOP” to the message or by contacting us directly at [email protected]. Please note that opting out of text messages does not opt you out of other communications, such as emails or phone calls, regarding your transactions with us.

Applying to Work with Company.  To submit job application materials online to work with Company, you may be redirected from our Site to a website operated by Indeed. You may be required to create an account with Indeed. We encourage you to review the terms and privacy policy posted on Indeed’s website since this Policy does not govern your use of that website.

Each time you visit a website that has implemented a persistent Cookie, the persistent Cookie is renewed and that Cookie will remain active until its predetermined expiration date.  You can manually delete persistent Cookies through your browser settings.

First and Third-party Cookies. Cookies may either be “first-party” or “third-party” Cookies.  A first-party Cookie allows your web browser to talk to the actual website that you are visiting (i.e. our Websites).  A third-party Cookie allows your web browser to talk to a third-party website, such as the source of an ad that appears on the website you are visiting or a third-party analytics provider.  We may not have control over how a third-party uses information collected through third-party Cookies.  

How do you manage Cookies or opt-out? Most browsers automatically accept cookies. You can disable this function by changing your browser settings, but disabling cookies may impact your use and enjoyment of the Websites.  Not all features or functions of the Websites may work properly if you disable Cookies.  You cannot disable all Cookies, such as Cookies that are essential to the functioning of the Websites.

CALIFORNIA’S “DO-NOT-TRACK” REQUIREMENT.  WE CURRENTLY DO NOT HONOR “DO NOT TRACK” REQUESTS.  

Google Analytics.  We use Google Analytics to collect and process information about your use of the Websites. Google sets cookies on your browser or device, and then your web browser will automatically send information to Google. Google uses this information to provide us with reports that we use to better understand and measure how users interact with our Websites. 

We may also implement additional add-on services to Google Analytics, such as Demographics and Interest Reporting and Remarketing with Google Analytics.  Demographics and Interest Reporting uses cookies to collect data about our Site traffic by tracking users across websites and across time to provide us with analytics on our user base.  Remarketing with Analytics uses Google Analytics cookies to serve advertisements to you across the Internet based on your visits to the Website.

We are active on social media, including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Anything you post on social media is public information and will not be treated confidentially. We may post (or re-post) on the Websites and our social media pages any comments or content that you post on our social media pages.

We may use advertising networks and services offered by social media platforms to deliver advertising content. Use of these services requires social media platforms to implement cookies or pixel tags to deliver ads to you while you access the Websites and sharing information to the social media platforms.  If you have social media accounts but you do not want a social media platform to collect or receive data about you, you can visit the social media platform privacy policies to review your options regarding data collection with the social media platform itself.
