This Privacy Policy explains our use of any personal information you may supply Columbia CrawlSpace. (“CCS”) when visiting our websites or exploring the purchase of a franchise from CCS.

Types of Information We Collect and How It Is Used
CCS only gathers personal information, such as, first and last names, addresses and email addresses, when you voluntarily provide that information to us. Personal information may be collected from you in order to provide your with more information about CCS, ask for your feedback on our websites, products or services, or to enter you in one of our prize promotions.

Occasionally, with your permission, we will send franchise sales and marketing information to you, such as discount coupons or information about new services. If you elect not to receive such materials, we will no longer send them to you.
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.
