Types of Information We Collect and How It Is Used

Personal information may be collected from you in order to ask for your feedback on our web site, products or services, or to enter you in one of our contests.

Sharing of Personal Information

FCI is a franchising company, and we may share personal information within the Franchise Concepts Family. The Franchise Concepts Family includes Deck The Walls, The Great Frame Up, and Framing & Art Centre franchisees, as well as ShopForArt.com. Parties in the Franchise Concepts Family may have access to your personal information, but we direct each party in the Franchise Concepts Family to with our Privacy Policy. Occasionally, with your permission, we will send marketing information to you, such as discount coupons or information about new services. If you tell us that you do not want to receive such materials, we will not send them to you.

Companies may be hired by FCI to perform a variety of functions, such as assisting with promotions or providing technical services for our web sites, etc. These companies may have access to personal information if needed to perform these functions. However, these companies may only use such personal information for the purpose of performing that function and may not use it for any other purpose.
