Protecting your personal information We will provide specific notice before collecting any of your personal information (details that can identify you as an individual, such as your name or address). We will explain what information is being collected and how it will be used. You have the right to decline to have this information collected or transferred for marketing purposes.

We collect no personal information about you unless you choose to provide that information to us. We do not use techniques that collect personal information about you without your knowledge. We will not transfer your personal information to a third party for marketing purposes. Any personally identifiable data about our customers or Web site visitors is stored securely.

Submitted information forms Our site contains on-line informational forms which allow users to input personal information for the purposes of receiving more information about specific services from us (Franchising, Advocacy Services Inquiry, Job Opportunities, etc.). The information gathered in these forms contains contact information (name, e-mail address, postal address), demographic information (zip code, state), and personal information (education, professional background, medical background, etc.). We use the contact, demographic, and personal information for mailing informational packets, and to get to know potential clients / advocates / franchisees better. The user's contact information may be used to get in touch with a potential client / advocate / franchisees when necessary and the user grants us the right to contact them. The non-personal demographic and profile data may also be used to tailor and improve our visitors' experiences at our site as outlined below. Any personal information we collect or you provide is held strictly confidential within our company and is neither sold nor given to any third parties.
