We may use cookies (small text files stored in your browser) and other techniques such as web beacons (small, clear picture files used to follow your online activities) (“Tracking Technologies”). Tracking Technologies collect information that tells us how you use our Site. The use of Tracking Technologies does not give us access to the rest of your computer. This, in turn, helps us make our Site relevant to your interests and needs. We use a number of different Tracking Technologies, including functional, performance, advertising, and social media or content cookies.

5. Your Choices

We strive to provide you with choices regarding the personal information you provide to us. We have created mechanisms to provide you with the following control over your information:

Access, Correction, and Deletion of Your Data. You may review and edit the information we collected about you at any time by contacting us at the addresses listed at the end of this Privacy Policy or by visiting your account. You may also have the right to receive a copy of your information, and to know whether your personal information is disclosed and to whom. You may also request that we delete any personal information about you that we have collected from you. If your information has been shared with a third party, as described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, then that third party has received its own copy of your data. If you have been contacted by one of these third parties and wish to correct or delete your information, please contact them directly. Please see the “Contact Us” section below to learn how to make sure a request.
Tracking Technologies and Advertising. Most browsers accept cookies automatically. You may be able to set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. For instructions, check your browser’s technical information. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this Site may then be inaccessible or not function properly. Please note that cookie-based opt outs must be performed on each device and browser that you wish to have opted out.
Promotional Offers from Us. If you do not wish to have your e-mail address or other contact information used by us or our franchisees to provide you with promotions or updates about our products, you can opt-out by clicking the unsubscribe link in the email. This opt-out does not apply to information provided to us as a result of a purchase or other transaction.
Targeted or Interest-Based Advertising. We may work with third-party advertising companies that collect and use information about your online activities across sites over time, in order to deliver more relevant advertising when you are visiting the Site and elsewhere on the Internet. This practice is known as interest-based advertising. The online advertising industry also provides websites from which you may opt-out of receiving targeted ads from our advertising partners that participate in self-regulatory programs. You can access these, and also learn more about targeted advertising and consumer choice and privacy at: www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp or www.aboutads.info/choices/.

7. Payment Information

When you make a payment on our Site, you may be taken to the website of one of our third-party service providers. That service provider will either collect or have access to your personal information.

8. Protecting Your Data and Retention

To protect your personal information, we take commercially reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed. However, no data protection procedures are entirely infallible. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee that it will be 100% secure. Your transmission of your information to our Site thus is done entirely at your own risk.

We retain information from or about you for so long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. When information is no longer necessary for these purposes, we delete it or keep it in a form that does not identify you, unless we are required to keep this information for a longer period by law.

9. Third Party Websites and Social Media

Our Site may contain links to other sites, including those of third parties or partners. While we seek to link only to sites that share our high standards and respect for privacy, we cannot be responsible for the privacy practices other websites use. By accessing other third- party websites or applications through our Site, you are consenting to the terms and privacy policies of those websites. It is possible that other parties may collect personally identifiable information about your online activities over time and across different web sites when you use our Site.

Our Site may include social media features, such as Facebook “Likes” or “Recommend” buttons, Pinterest, Twitter, Tumblr, and YouTube. These social media features may require cookies to be set to function properly. These features may also collect Personal Information such as your IP address. These features are governed by the Privacy Policy of the social media platform. Please review the Privacy Policy of the social media platforms to learn how they protect your information.
