Additionally, if you make a Franchise Inquiry, we use your information to better understand your questions/inquiry about becoming a Bar Method Franchisee. If you provide a success story, we will contact you and possibly use your submitted information on our Website as a success story. We may use non-personally identifiable information for any purpose, except where we are required to do otherwise by applicable law. To the extent we do combine any non-personally identifiable information with personally identifiable information, we will treat the combined information as personally identifiable information so long as it remains combined.
We may disclose also your personal information to appropriate third parties if we are required to do so by law, including (i) to comply with legal process, (ii) to protect our rights, (iii) to investigate breaches of the Terms and Conditions (as defined below), or (iv) in the event of an emergency.
How do we protect this information?
Any information you submit is used for only the purpose you identified. We use a variety of industry standard physical, technical, and administrative security measures to ensure the safety of your information. If you have any reason to believe your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel the security of any account you might have with us or our service providers has been compromised), please immediately notify us of the problem at https://barmethod.com/contact
Do we disclose any information to outside parties?
In addition to sharing the information between ourselves (i.e., with and from The Bar Method franchisees and affiliates), we may share your information with third-party service providers and/or vendors for purposes of, including without limitation, initiating marketing programs on our behalf, maintenance or development of our Websites, development of online products and services, customer service or new product development, or other contracted promotional opportunities provided to our users.
Your studio visit data and personal information may be made available to studio instructors, franchisees, management and employees, or other contracted service providers whom you have engaged to provide services to you. Each of those parties is obligated to maintain the confidentiality of your personal information, and is permitted to access and use your personal information solely for the purpose of providing or enhancing services you use through the Websites. Additionally, you may choose to share personal information from the Websites with instructors or other studio members to assist you in evaluating your activities and goals.
Further, when you submit a success story, you are agreeing to allow your story to be posted on our Websites. Similarly, if you post comments, information, or other materials on any messages boards, blogs, social media pages, or other services offered by us or third parties, please note that any such information will become public information and may be available to users of our Websites, the websites on which you post, and/or the general public.
