5 - Data Collection and Processing for Internet Users and App Users
In addition to collecting Personal Information to carry out our business, we use data collection devices on certain web pages and on our App to conduct analytics, advertising and remarketing and behavioral targeting.
The types of data collection devices that our website, App, and social media pages collect, by themselves or through third parties, are: cookies, web beacons, internet protocol (IP) address, aggregate information, Usage Data, unique device identifiers for advertising (Google Advertiser ID or IDFA, for example) and email address.
Usage
Data includes information that is collected automatically when you
access our website, App or social media pages.
Cookies
We use data collection devices such as Cookies on certain web pages to help analyze our web page flow and measure promotional effectiveness.
A Cookie is a text-only string of information that a website transfers to the cookie file of the browser on your computer’s hard disk so that the website can remember who you are. A Cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the Cookie has come, the ‘lifetime’ of the cookie, and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our site and services.
A few important things you should know about Cookies are that:
We offer certain features that are available only through the use of Cookies.
We use Cookies to better your web experience.
Most Cookies are “session cookies,” meaning that they are automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of a session.
You may encounter Cookies from third parties on certain pages of the sites that we do not control. (For example, if you view a web page created by another user, there may be a Cookie placed by that web page.)
Disabling/enabling cookies - You have the ability to accept or decline Cookies by modifying the settings in your browser. However, you may not be able to use all the interactive features of our site if Cookies are disabled.
Web Beacons
Web Beacons are also referred to as Web bugs, pixel tags, or clear GIFs. We use pixels tags or transparent GIF files, to help manage our online advertising and promotions. These tags collect anonymous (not personally identifiable) information about which advertisements and promotions bring users to our website. With both cookie and tag technology, the information that we collect and share is anonymous and not personally identifiable. It does not contain your name, address, telephone number, or email address.
Used in combination with cookies, a Web beacon is an often-transparent graphic image, usually no larger than 1 pixel x 1 pixel, which is placed on a Web site or in an e-mail that is used to monitor the behavior of the user visiting the Web site or sending the e-mail. When the HTML code for the Web beacon points to a site to retrieve the image, at the same time it can pass along information such as the IP address of the computer that retrieved the image, the time the Web beacon was viewed and for how long, the type of browser that retrieved the image and previously set cookie values.
Web beacons are typically used by a third-party to monitor the activity of a site. A Web beacon can be detected by viewing the source code of a Web page and looking for any IMG tags that load from a different server than the rest of the site. Turning off the browser’s cookies will prevent Web beacons from tracking the user’s activity. The Web beacon will still account for an anonymous visit, but the user’s unique information will not be recorded.
Internet Protocol (IP) Address
An Internet Protocol (IP) Address is associated with your computer’s connection to the internet. PHO may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with PHO’s server, to administer the Website and to maintain contact with you as you navigate through the Website. Your computer’s IP address also may be used to provide you with information based upon your navigation through the Website. PHO does not link IP addresses to any Personal Information.
Aggregate Information
Aggregate Information is used to measure the visitors’ interest in, and use of, various areas of the Website and the various programs that PHO administers, PHO will rely upon aggregate information, which is information that does not identify you, such as statistical and navigational information. With this aggregate information, PHO may undertake statistical and other summary analyses of the visitors’ behaviors and characteristics. Although PHO may share this aggregate information with third parties, none of this information will allow anyone to identify you, or to determine anything else personal about you.
Interest-Based/Online Behavioral Advertising
On some pages of our website and App, we may allow third-party advertising partners to set web tracking tools (e.g., cookies and web beacons) to collect anonymous, non-personally identifiable information regarding your activities on those pages (e.g., your IP address, page(s) visited, time of day). We may also share such information we have collected with third-party advertising partners. These advertising partners may use this information (and similar information collected from other websites) for purposes of delivering future targeted advertisements to you when you visit other (non-PIZZAVILLE) sites within their networks. This practice is commonly referred to as “interest-based advertising” or “online behavioral advertising.” Pages of our website that collect information that may be used by such advertising partners for interest-based advertising purposes may be identified by a link to AdChoices on the page.
Opting out (site pages)
If you do not want your browsing while on such web pages or App to be used for interest-based advertising purposes, you may click on the AdChoices link to opt-out of such uses by the listed advertising partner(s). Even if you opt-out through this service, we may still collect non-personally identifiable information regarding your site activities and use it for non-interest-based advertising purposes as described in this privacy statement.
Opting out (advertisements)
Advertisements on third-party sites that contain the AdChoices link and that link to this privacy policy may have been directed to you based on anonymous, non-personally identifiable information collected by advertising partners over time and across websites. These advertisements provide a mechanism to opt-out of the advertising partners’ use of this information for interest-based advertising purposes.

PIZZAVILLE® Development Agents and other service providers are prohibited from using Personal Information for any purpose other than to provide assistance to PHO and its affiliates within PIZZAVILLE.

12 - Children and Data Collection
At PHO, children’s privacy is important to us. We will not knowingly allow anyone under thirteen (13) to provide us any personally identifying information. Children under thirteen (13) years of age are required to obtain the express permission of a parent or guardian before submitting any Personal Information about themselves (such as their names, e-mail address, and phone number) over the Internet. If a child has provided us with personally-identifiable information without the consent of a parent or guardian, the parent or guardian of that child should contact the Privacy Officer immediately at info@pizzaville.ca. We will use reasonable efforts to promptly delete the child’s information from our servers.
13 - A Note to Parents/Guardians—Additional Information About Children’s Privacy
Children can participate in many of our features without providing personally identifiable information. However, to enable their participation in certain of our interactive features, we may ask children to provide us with personally identifiable information. The types of information we may request include first name as well as the child’s and parent’s email addresses. We use a child’s email address to respond to a specific request to participate in an activity (e.g., participate in a contest or sweepstakes, respond to their question, enable them to subscribe to a newsletter). We use parents’ e-mail addresses to obtain their consent or notify them of their child’s online activities and enable the parent to unsubscribe the child from a newsletter or other similar activity.
Sometimes, we use third party service providers to help us conduct contests or sweepstakes, send prizes to winners, or provide customer service related to activities on the website. These third party service providers are contractually obligated to adhere to this Privacy Policy. As such, these third party service providers are required to keep the information confidential and to use it only for the specific services they are performing on our behalf.
At any time parents can refuse to permit us to collect further Personal Information from their child and can request that any Personal Information we have collected be deleted from our records.
We will provide parents notice by e-mail of any material changes in the way we intend to collect, use, and/or share their child’s Personal Information. Please note that, at all times, parents should update their Personal Information to provide us a current email address.
If you would like to review any personally identifiable information that we have collected online from your child, have this information deleted, and/or request that there be no further collection or use of your child’s information, or if you have questions about these information practices, you may contact our Privacy Officer.

To comply with county, state or federal agency requests;
Inquiries from third parties with a signed authorization from the employee to release the information, except in situations where limited verbal verifications are acceptable (see below);
Third parties with which PHO has contractual agreements to assist in administration of company sponsored benefits.
Please note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to PIZZAVILLE® franchised store employment applications submitted through the website, which may be shared with independently-owned and operated franchises who are seeking employees in their market area.
Verifications of Employment
Prospective employers, government agencies, financial institutions, and residential property managers routinely contact PHO requesting information on a former or current employee’s work history and salary. All such requests of this type shall be referred to and completed on a confidential basis by the Human Resources Department or Payroll Department.
For written verification of employment requests, information will be provided on the form only when it is accompanied by an employee’s signed authorization to release information. The form will be returned directly to the requesting party and filed as part of the Human Resources or Payroll Department’s confidential records.
PHO only utilizes information related to the company sponsored healthcare plan on a “need to know” basis for administration of the healthcare plan.
15 - Collection and Use of PIZZAVILLE® Franchisee and Prospective Franchisee Personal Information
If you choose to, you may submit via www.pizzaville.ca an electronic application seeking consideration as a prospective PIZZAVILLE® franchisee. By submitting an electronic application, you agree that we may disclose your Personal Information to our affiliates within PIZZAVILLE, their Development Agents, other PIZZAVILLE® Group affiliates, and third party service providers as part of their consideration to your inquiry and to help them conduct their franchise marketing efforts. Information on your online form will become part of any application for PIZZAVILLE® franchise that you might later submit. We require our affiliates within PIZZAVILLE® and their Development Agents to respect PHO’s privacy practices and not use your Personal Information for purposes other than to carry out our instructions.
By applying to become a PIZZAVILLE® franchisee, a prospective franchisee consents to the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We collect and use Personal Information in order to assist a prospective franchisee in applying to become a PIZZAVILLE® restaurant franchisee and to assist our affiliates within PIZZAVILLE® in selecting franchisee candidates.
Personal Information collected from prospective franchisees include, but is not limited to: name, address, telephone number, facsimile number, email address, date of birth (optional), citizenship (optional) educational background, criminal background, bank account information for Electronic Funds Transfer, financial statement, litigation history, and taxpayer identification number (optional). Failure to provide requested Personal Information may negatively impact a prospective franchisee’s ability to become a franchisee. Once a prospective PIZZAVILLE® restaurant franchisee becomes a franchisee, they may then reference themselves by their Franchise Agreement Number. In order to better service franchisees, a franchisee’s Personal Information may be shared between PHO and its affiliates within PIZZAVILLE, pursuant to the service contracts between them.
In order to effectively implement the PIZZAVILLE® Gift Card Program, and to provide purchasing services to members, a franchisee’s Personal Information may be shared with an independent purchasing cooperative or other independent third party. The Personal Information shared with the independent purchasing cooperative shall include, but will not be limited to: name, address, credit card information, and other related information necessary for billing purposes, such as a mailing address for credit card validation, and bank account information you provided to PHO to establish your pre-authorized account for the payment of royalties, advertising fees, and other charges. Subject to a franchisee’s agreement with the independent purchasing cooperative, the independent purchasing cooperative may bill a franchisee’s bank account for fees and other costs associated with the PIZZAVILLE® Gift Card Program. If a franchisee does not wish to disclose this information, they must notify the Privacy Officer in writing as described in the section titled “Contact Information” below.
A franchisee and/or prospective franchisee’s information may be shared with PIZZAVILLE® Development Agent in their area. A Development Agent is an independent contractor of PIZZAVILLE. The Development Agents assist with franchise sales, site location, service franchisee leasing needs, provide operational assistance and related administrative functions, and training to the franchisee. Development Agents also make recommendations as to whether a prospective franchisee in their territory should be granted a franchise. The Development Agent may use this information to: address a franchisee’s concerns in a customer complaint, respond to a franchisee’s inquiries for franchise sales, franchisee Personal Information may be shared during store transfers, and any other inquiry which may require a response.
PHO will also disclose in our franchise disclosure documents (whether required by law or made on a voluntary basis), and other documents required by law, Personal Information about a franchisee, including the franchisee’s name, address, telephone and facsimile number, sales, revenue, expenses, costs, results of operation, and similar information regarding the franchisee’s business, and any information regarding the non-renewal, closure, expiry or termination of the franchisee’s franchise agreement. This information will be disclosed to comply with law and to solicit prospective franchisees.
Finally, upon becoming a PIZZAVILLE® franchisee you consent to PHO disclosing former or past franchisee contact information including Personal Information in its Disclosure Document for one (1) year after leaving the system, as required by law, unless you advise otherwise. Contact our Privacy Officer in writing, either by email or regular mail received, of your desire to not have your details or contact information disclosed, corrected or changed when you sell or transfer your PIZZAVILLE® store, or exit the PIZZAVILLE® system (whether by termination or otherwise). To contact the Privacy Officer, please see the section provided below entitled “Contact Information”.
16 - Security
We endeavor to protect your Personal Information using physical, electronic or procedural security measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the information in our control.
We safeguard your Personal Information on the Internet by using industry-standard practices. Although “guaranteed security” does not exist either on or off the Internet, we make commercially reasonable efforts to make the collection and security of such information consistent with our Privacy Policy and all applicable laws and regulations.
Currently, our website utilizes a variety of different security measures designed to protect Personal Information by users both inside and outside PHO, including the use of encryption mechanisms (e.g., Secure Socket Layers or SSLs), password protection, and other security measures to help prevent unauthorized access to your personally identifiable information. This helps maintain the confidentiality, privacy, and integrity of your transactions, and helps to protect your confidential information - such as credit card numbers, online forms, and financial data from loss, misuse, interception and hacking.
Phishing
Identity theft and the practice currently known as “phishing” are of great concern to PHO. Accordingly, safeguarding information to help protect you from identity theft is a top priority. We do not and will not, at any time, request your credit card information, your account ID, login password, SIN in a non-secure or unsolicited e-mail or telephone communication. For more information about phishing, visit the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre’s website at www.antifraudcentre.ca.
Storage, Retention, and Accuracy of Personal Information
All reasonable steps are taken to safeguard your Personal Information against loss; unauthorized access, use, modification, disclosure; or any other misuse. We take all reasonable steps to ensure that your Personal Information is accurate, up-to-date, complete, relevant and not misleading. PHO will retain your Personal Information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose(s) for which it was collected and to comply with applicable laws and your consent to such purpose(s) remains valid after termination of our relationship with you.
PHO may store your Personal Information in its databases located in the United States and/or other countries outside of Canada. Additionally, some of our service providers may reside in the United States or other countries outside of Canada and will be subject to the laws of the local jurisdiction. As a result, in certain circumstances, the United States and other foreign governments, courts, law enforcement agencies or regulatory agencies may be entitled to access the Personal Information collected and held by PHO.
Access, Control and Update Personal Information about You
You may contact the Privacy Officer to access, verify, correct or delete your Personal Information. If necessary, the Privacy Officer will contact another individual to assist in completing your requested task. You can also withdraw your consent at any time, even afterhaving previously provided consent.
We want to be sure that we keep only the most accurate and up-to-date Personal Information in our records. You can email us at info@pizzaville.ca to update your contact information. To protect your privacy, we will take reasonable steps to help verify your identity before granting access or making changes.

Please note that www.pizzaville.ca websites may contain links to other websites for your convenience and information. PHO does not control those websites or their privacy practices, which may differ from www.pizzaville.ca. PHO’s privacy policy cannot and does not apply to external websites. We do not endorse or make any representations about third party websites. The personal data you choose to give to unrelated third parties is not covered by the PHO privacy policy. We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy of any company or website before submitting your Personal Information. Some third parties may choose to share their personal data with PHO; that sharing is governed by that third party company’s Privacy Policy, not PHO’s Privacy Policy.
