All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Companies may be hired by CCS to perform a variety of functions, such as assisting with promotions or providing technical services for our websites, etc. (At stores owned by CCS, such companies also include entities that assist CCS in facilitating and processing credit card/debit card transactions).  These companies may have access to personal information if needed to perform these functions.  However, our direction to these companies is that they may only use such personal information for the purpose of performing that function and may not use it for any other purpose; furthermore, such companies have agreed to maintain the confidentiality of such information.

We may, on occasion, share personal information to approved third parties for marketing purposes on behalf of our franchise marketing efforts, our franchisees or stores owned by CCS.  CCS does not sell or disclose personal information to third parties outside the Columbia CrawlSpace System.
