MUTIMER CUSTOM HOMES PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated: March 122024 

At Mutimer Customer Homes. (“Mutimer Custom Homes,” “we,” “us” or “our”), your privacy is of paramount concern to us, which is why we have developed this privacy policy (“Policy”).  This Policy describes the Personal Information (as defined below) collected by or on behalf of Mutimer Customer Homes through our Mutimer Customer Homes website, located at https://www.mutimercustomhomes.com.

We may modify this Policy at any time. All changes will be effective immediately upon posting to the Sites.  Material changes will be conspicuously posted on the Sites or otherwise communicated to you.  

Information We Collect  

If you elect to provide data that personally identifies you or that can be used to identify you (“Personal Information”) such as your name, phone number, postal address, or email address, we will collect, use, and share such Personal Information pursuant to this Policy and applicable law. The Personal Information we collect falls into three categories: (a) information you provide to us; (b) information we collect through automated methods when you use our Sites; and (c) information we collect from other sources (as further detailed below). Personal Information is required to use certain features available on the Sites, for example, request more information about becoming a franchisee, receive or request data from us, and respond to communications from us (e.g., surveys). 

Information You Provide 

Prospective Franchisees.  If you submit an inquiry or otherwise contact us with questions or interest in becoming a franchisee, we will use the information you provide to evaluate your request and answer your questions.  Additional terms and conditions will apply to those who pursue becoming a franchisee. 

Communications. You may submit your contact information to receive information and communications from us. If you provide us your contact information, we will use your information for the purpose of those communications and will also include you on any marketing communications.  We may use third-party providers to deliver these communications to you. You can choose to unsubscribe from marketing emails from us by contacting us at Mutimer Customer Homes with “Unsubscribe” in the subject line, or by clicking “Unsubscribe” in the applicable email. Opting out of marketing communications does not opt you out of other, non-marketing communications from us. Please note that we may occasionally contact you for administrative or other purposes even if you unsubscribe from our marketing email list. 

Career Opportunities. You may submit job application materials directly to us through our Site. We will only use and share those job application materials to evaluate your qualifications to work with Mutimer Customer Homes. Your submission of an application or inquiry does not in any way require Mutimer Customer Homes to review your information or consider you for employment. 

Data Automatically Collected  

Cookies & Other Tracking Technologies 

We may use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags and other tracking technologies (collectively “Cookies”) on our Sites.  A cookie is a small text file that our Sites save onto your computer or device when you use the Sites that provide us certain information about your activities.

Each time you visit a website that has implemented a persistent Cookie, the persistent Cookie is renewed, and that Cookie will remain active until its predetermined expiration date.  You can manually delete persistent Cookies through your browser settings. 

Cookies may either be “first-party” or “third-party” Cookies.  A first-party Cookie allows your web browser to talk to the actual website that you are visiting.  A third-party Cookie allows your web browser to talk to a third-party website, such as the source of an ad that appears on the website you are visiting or a third-party analytics provider.  We may not have control over how a third-party uses information collected through third-party Cookies.

CALIFORNIA’S “DO-NOT-TRACK” REQUIREMENT.  WE CURRENTLY DO NOT HONOR “DO NOT TRACK” REQUESTS.

Google Analytics.  We use Google Analytics to collect and process information about your use of the Sites. Google sets cookies on your browser or device, and then your web browser will automatically send information to Google. Google uses this information to provide us with reports that we use to better understand and measure how users interact with our Sites.  

To learn more about how Google uses data, visit Google’s Privacy Policy and Google’s page on “How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps.” You may download the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on for each web browser you use, but this does not prevent the use of other analytics tools. To learn more about Google Analytics cookies, visit Google Analytics Cookie Usage on Websites.

AR Franchising and such vendors may collect data about how you interact with the maps.  For example, Google may collect usage data on maps embedded on the Sites.  Even if you do not interact with the maps, Google may still collect certain information about your interactions with our Sites if you are signed into your Google account when accessing our Sites.  Please see Google’s privacy policy for more information.
