We recognize and respect the privacy of our clients, visitors and users of our web site and mobile applications. We do not collect personal information about visitors to our websites or stores owned by SCI or users of our mobile application unless it is 1) aggregated and non-sensitive data used to improve the overall user experience and 2) voluntarily provide it to us. Our purpose in collecting your personal information online or in stores owned by SCI or on our mobile application is to provide you with relevant information that meets your specific needs and to ensure that your visit to our websites or Sport Clips stores or your use of the mobile application is efficient and productive.

Personal information may be collected to ask for feedback on our websites, mobile application, products or services, or to enter you in one of our prize promotions. We use your personal information to send to you advertisements for Sport Clips services and the sale of Sport Clips franchises, and to track your use of the internet. In addition, we collect location information with your permission if you choose to use the Online Check In feature of the web site or the mobile application. (If you use a mobile device and have provided permission, location information will also be collected even if you do not choose to use the Online Check In feature.) At stores owned by SCI, personal information also includes your credit or debit card number and related information (e.g., card expiration date) if used to pay for service(s) purchased at that store. SCI never stores your credit card information on its electronic systems. In all cases, unless otherwise expressly indicated by this Privacy Policy, personal information will only be used by SCI for the specific purpose for which it was collected except as described in this Privacy Policy.

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

Although SCI does not sell or trade your Personal Information, we may use Personal Information for business purposes and have done so during the 12 month period prior to our current Privacy Policy. Business purposes include the following:

We may associate personal information with a cookie file in those instances. We may further employ cookies to assist us and other third party vendors to tailor advertisements presented to you on the internet.

Do Not Track (DNT)

DNT is a process put forward by regulatory authorities, such as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), for allowing internet users to control the tracking of their online activities across websites.

Currently, there is no standard which allows you to know which websites or companies comply with a DNT request. Although committed to your privacy and does not track your use of the internet, SCI does not change our tracking practices (see Cookies" above) in response to DNT settings in your web browser because there currently is no DNT standard.
