Information We May Collect
When you apply to be a Once Upon A Child® franchisee at our web site or
request information from the Company, we may collect information about you, including
information you give us on applications, questionnaires or other forms. Based on
the information you provide us, we may also collect information from consumer reporting
agencies, such as credit bureaus, in order to evaluate your eligibility to become

our web site may make use of browser "cookies." Cookies are text files
written to a user's hard drive and read by the server programs to inform a web site
if the user has previously visited that site. We use cookies to deliver content
specific to your interests, to save your password so you don't have to re-enter
it each time you visit our site, and for other purposes. The cookie never contains
data that is "executed" as code, so it cannot carry viruses. Cookies are
linked to browser programs and do not specifically identify an individual user.
While we use cookies in other parts of our web site, cookies received with banner
ads are not being collected by us and we do not have access to this information.
Cookies can be rejected by you and if so, none of the functions listed above will
be performed.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
The Company collects personally identifiable information from you when voluntarily
submitted by you, for example, if you complete an on-line franchise application.
We will not sell or rent your personally identifiable information to anyone. We
may send personally identifiable information about you to others only when: 1) we
have your consent to share the information; 2) we need to share the information
to provide the information, service or product that you requested; 3) we need to
send the information to people or companies who work on behalf of the Company to
provide information, products or services to you; 4) we respond to subpoenas court
orders or legal process; or 4) we find that your actions on the web site violate
the Web Site Disclaimer Agreement Conditions of Use, or any of our usage guidelines
for specific products or services. In addition, user demographic information is
shared with advertisers on an aggregate basis in a manner that will not personally
identify the individual submitting the information.
When This Policy Does Not Apply
This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that the Company does
not own or control, or to people that the Company does not employ or manage. In
addition, this policy does not apply to the web sites of other divisions of the
Company, as each web site has its own privacy policy.
Security
This site has taken reasonable security measures to protect the loss, misuse
and alteration of the information under our control. However, please remember that
no computer system should be considered safe from intrusion. E-mail may pass through
many computer systems, and should not be considered as a secure means of communication
unless encrypted. Even then, information is only as secure as the encryption method.
If you visit our web site, the Company will not communicate with you unless you
have given us permission to do so.
Changes to This Policy
We may make changes to this policy from time to time. We will post changes to
this policy here, so be sure to check back periodically.
