The types of Personal Information we collect about you may vary based on how you use our Sites and/or Services and your relationship with us.

We automatically collect information in connection with the actions you take on our Sites (“Usage Data”). For example, each time you use our Sites, we automatically collect the type of web browser you use, the type of device you use, your device ID, your operating system and version, your IP address, your internet service provider, the pages you view, referring and exit pages, the date and time of your visit, the number of clicks to, from, and within our Sites, and the duration of your visits to our Sites. If we can reasonably associate this data with you, directly or indirectly, we treat it as Personal Information under the categories of Identifiers or Internet or other electronic network information, as appropriate. If we cannot reasonably associate this information with you, we treat it as Usage Data.

We may record calls and retain the content of text messages, chat transcripts, or other written/electronic communications between you and us. By communicating with us, you consent to our recording and retention of communications.

We may ask you to provide us with Personal Information when you communicate with us online or offline, including events, surveys, and marketing or promotional programs. You are not required to provide us your Personal Information; however, if you choose not to provide the requested information, you may not be able to use some or all of the features of our Sites or Services or we may not be able to fulfill your requested interaction. We may also capture your contact information, such as phone numbers and email addresses, when you contact us.

We may collect Personal Information from third-party data sources such as our franchisees, data brokers, marketing agencies or partners, market research and analytics firms, and government agencies.

We and third parties use cookies (small text files placed on your computer to identify your computer and browser) and other automated tools such as pixels to track your interaction with our Sites and to improve the experience of our Sites and Services, such as saving your preferences from visit to visit to present you with a customized version of the Website. Many web browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, certain features of our Sites may not work if you delete or disable cookies.

We use the following types of cookies:

Strictly Necessary: These cookies are essential to operate the Sites and provide you with services you have requested.

Functional: These cookies enable certain features or non-essential functionality on our Sites. For example, we might use these cookies to recognize you and remember your preferences or settings when you return to our Sites so we can provide you with a more personalized experience.

Advertising Cookies: These cookies allow us and third parties to learn more about you, including your use of our Sites and other websites, and to advertise products or services that might interest you as further indicated below.

Analytics Cookies: These cookies help us and third parties understand how our Sites are working and who is visiting our Sites.

We and third parties also use tools that enable us to track certain aspects of a user’s visit to our Sites. This technology helps us better manage content on our Sites by informing us what content is effective, how consumers engage with our Sites, and how consumers arrive at and/or depart from our Sites. The software typically uses two methods to track user activity: (1) “tracking pixels” and (2) “clear gifs.” Tracking pixels are pieces of executable code embedded in a web page that track usage activity including which pages are viewed, when they are viewed, and how long the pages are viewed. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with unique identifiers embedded in web pages and email messages that track whether a user views a web page or email message. User activity information may be associated with additional information about a user’s session and Personal Information, if provided by the user.

You can opt-out of certain types of cookies and other tracking tools by clicking the cookie settings icon at the bottom of applicable Sites.

You have the right to direct us not to sell or share (for targeted or cross-context behavioral advertising purposes) your Personal Information to Third Parties. We will process requests within 15 business days, subject to any applicable exceptions and extensions permitted by law.

You have the right to request twice per 12-month period that we provide you (i) the categories or specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you; (ii) the categories of sources from which we collected your Personal Information; (iii) the business or commercial purpose for which we collected your Personal Information; the categories of Third Parties with whom we sold or disclosed your Personal Information, including the categories of Personal Information sold or disclosed to each and the purposes for doing so.

To protect consumers’ Personal Information, you must provide required information and/or documentation to verify your identity. We will process verified requests within 45 days, subject to any applicable exceptions and extensions permitted by law.

You have the right to request that we delete any Personal Information we collected about you. Please understand that we are not required to honor a deletion request if a legal exemption applies such as if we need the information to complete a requested or reasonably anticipated transaction, prevent security incidents or fraud, enable internal uses that are reasonably aligned with your expectations, or comply with legal obligations. We will process verified requests within 45 days, subject to any applicable exceptions and extensions permitted by law. To prevent unauthorized individuals from making deletion requests, you must provide required information and/or documentation to verify your identity.

We may decide to delete your allegedly inaccurate Personal Information instead of correcting it. We will process verified requests within 45 days, subject to any applicable exceptions and extensions permitted by law.

If you only wish to update your contact information or other Personal Information rather than disputing its accuracy, please make the changes directly in your account or contact us at 1-844-689-9333.

We will process appeal requests within 45 days of receipt, subject to any applicable exemptions and extensions permitted by law.

In such case, we will provide you with instructions for doing so.

If you are a resident of a state that provides privacy rights and would like to exercise your rights, you may submit a request though our  online Privacy Request Form or calling us at 1 (833) 830-2305. After you submit your request, we may contact you to obtain additional information necessary to verify your identity.

We will not be able to process certain requests without verifying your identity, so please respond promptly to our request.

To opt-out of third-party data collections from our Sites that qualify as sales or relate to targeted advertising, you may select cookie preferences using the cookie settings icon at the bottom of applicable Sites. Our Sites also recognize and process Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. If we can reasonably associate a GPC signal with an identifiable consumer, we treat it as a request to opt-out of the sale or sharing of that consumer’s Personal Information as if the consumer made the request using one of the methods above. If we cannot reasonably associate a GPC signal with an identifiable consumer, we treat it as a request to opt-out of the sale or sharing of that user’s Personal Information collected while the signal is present. While the signal is present, we will also disable any third-party cookies or other third-party tracking tools present on the Sites.

If you are an authorized agent submitting a request for another consumer, you must provide a copy of a lawful power of attorney or written authorization from the Consumer (along with proof of your identity). You will be provided options on how to provide this documentation after submitting the request. We may contact you or the Consumer on whose behalf you claim to act to verify your authorization.

We will not discriminate against any consumer for exercising their privacy rights under law or this Privacy Policy.

Do Not Track is a web browser privacy preference that causes the web browser to broadcast a signal to websites requesting that a user’s activity not be tracked. Currently, our Sites and Services do not respond to “do not track” signals.

The California Consumer Privacy Act requires certain businesses to provide information related to certain privacy requests received during the prior calendar year. Please click here to view our most recent report.
