We will not give any information about you under any

Our site uses forms in which you furnish us contact
information (your name, address, daytime telephone number, and email address) so
you can place orders, request information or support, and make product
suggestions and comments. We will then create an account for you and if you
choose to order from us using a credit card, we will collect your credit card
number and expiration date. If you contact us for support, we will keep an
internal record of what support was furnished to you or your authorized
representative. We use your customer information only when it is important for
us to contact you regarding functionality changes to our products or web site,
new FranchiseBusiness.com software services and advertisements you may place
with us, and special offers we think you'll find valuable but only with your
permission. If you would rather not receive this information, please change
those options in your profile preferences. If we should present a co-branded
offer with our partners or affiliates, it will be clear at the point of
collection who is collecting the information and whose privacy statement
applies.

on our behalf. These companies may employ cookies and action tags (also known
as single pixel gifs or web beacons) to measure their advertising effectiveness.

On rare occasions, one of our partners may require us to
share your information with them but this will never be done without your
explicit permission beforehand.

that such action is necessary in order to conform to the edicts of the law or we
must comply with a legal process served on our web site or company. We may also
need to give out your information if one of our partners requires it, but these

goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use
personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
Contest and Fun Stuff.
From time-to-time our site requests information from users

used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for

sending this one-time email. You may contact FranchiseBusiness.com at
admin@FranchiseBusiness.com to request the removal of this information from
our database.

(either voluntarily or involuntarily) all of your personally identifiable
information is placed in a "deactivated" status on our relevant
FranchiseBusiness.com databases. This does not mean that your personally
identifiable information has been deleted from our database entirely. We will
retain and use your personally identifiable information if necessary in order to
