We will use the information that you provide to answer the questions you pose, or to initiate discussions with you regarding the sale of a franchise, unless you reside in a jurisdiction that requires registration of a franchise offering prior to any sales activity by us, in which case we will not initiate or continue any form of discussion whatsoever, and will retain your name and contact information only in the event that we subsequently become qualified to offer franchises in the jurisdiction in which you reside.

Whenever we do this, we require that our third party suppliers and service providers agree to maintain the confidentiality of the personal information we provide to them. We do not sell or rent to third parties any of the personal information that consumers provide to us online, but we may share your information with our affiliates, our WINMAR® franchisees, and lenders to or investors in our company. Primarily, we share information with these third parties only to respond to your specific request or to obtain their advice on how to improve our business or meet your service requirements. We do not authorize third parties unaffiliated with WINMAR® to make independent use of your information for their own purposes, such as for direct marketing.
