Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how HOWMZ (“HOWMZ,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), based in Heber City, Utah, collects, uses, and shares information when you visit this website (the “Site”). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

You can browse the Site without creating an account. We collect information you choose to submit, such as:

Contact requests — your name, phone number, email address, and message when you use our contact form.

Job applications — your name, contact details, the position you’re applying for, and any information you include about your background and experience.

Partner access — when you sign in to the restricted franchising area with credentials we provide, we process those credentials to verify access. Franchise-related inquiries you send us may include information about your business background and market.

Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure automatically records limited technical data when you visit — such as your IP address, browser type, device information, the pages you view, and the date and time of your visit. We use this data to operate, secure, and troubleshoot the Site.

Essential cookies — if you sign in to the partner access area, we set a session cookie so the Site can verify your access while you’re on the page; it is not used to track you and expires when you leave or close your browser.

Analytics — we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site, such as which pages are viewed, how visitors arrive, and the approximate location, browser, and device type of visits. Google Analytics sets its own cookies (such as _ga) and processes this data on our behalf; we do not send it your name or contact details. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on or by blocking cookies in your browser.

We do not use advertising cookies or sell data to ad networks.

We use the information described above to:

respond to your inquiries; evaluate job applications; evaluate prospective franchise partners; provide and secure access to restricted areas; operate, maintain, and improve the Site; and comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with: service providers who help us operate the Site, process form submissions, and measure Site usage (for example, our website hosting provider and Google Analytics); professional advisors such as lawyers and accountants where needed; authorities when required by law or to protect our rights; and a successor in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

We keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy — for example, to respond to your inquiry, consider your application, or meet legal and record-keeping requirements — and then delete or de-identify it.

You may contact us at any time to request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information you have submitted through the Site. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws. We will honor valid requests as required by law and will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

The Site may link to websites we do not operate. Their privacy practices are their own; we encourage you to review their policies.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates take effect when posted to this page, and the effective date above will reflect the latest revision.
