1. Who we are
polartintfranchise.com (the “Site”) is operated by Polar Tint LLC, a Nevada limited liability company with its principal office at 799 Middlegate Road, Henderson, NV 89011 (“Polar Tint,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This Site exists to share information about the Polar Tint window film, ceramic coating, and paint protection film franchise opportunity and to collect inquiries from prospective franchisees.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through the Site, how we use it, who we share it with, and what choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to this policy.
2. Information we collect
2.1 Information you provide
When you submit a franchise inquiry form, request a Franchise Disclosure Document, schedule a Discovery Day, or send us an email, we collect the information you provide — typically:
- Name
- Email address
- Phone number
- City and state of interest
- Liquid capital, net worth, and timeline indicators
- Any other details you choose to share in a message
2.2 Information collected automatically
Like most websites, we automatically receive certain technical information when you visit the Site:
- IP address and approximate geographic location
- Browser type, operating system, device type
- Pages visited, time on page, referrer URL
- Session-level interactions (clicks, scrolls, form starts)
This information is collected via standard server logs and analytics tags (Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, and Meta Pixel). We do not use this information to identify you personally; it is aggregated to understand site performance.
2.3 Cookies and similar technologies
We use first-party cookies for session management and third-party cookies for analytics and conversion measurement. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies will not prevent you from using the Site, but may limit some features (such as form auto-save).
2.4 Bot protection
Our forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to verify that submissions come from a real person rather than an automated bot. Turnstile runs invisibly and does not use cookies for cross-site tracking or serve ads. Details on the data it processes are in Cloudflare’s Turnstile Privacy Addendum.
3. How we use information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to your franchise inquiry
- Schedule introductory calls, Discovery Day visits, and follow-ups
- Send the Franchise Disclosure Document and related materials
- Evaluate franchisee candidates against our financial and operational criteria
- Improve the Site, content, and franchise-development process
- Comply with applicable franchise registration and disclosure laws
- Detect and prevent fraud, spam, or abuse
4. Who we share information with
We share information only as needed to operate the franchise development process or as required by law. Categories of recipients:
- Service providers — CRM (ClientTether), email delivery, hosting (WP Engine), analytics (Google, Meta), and document delivery providers, each bound by confidentiality and data-protection obligations.
- Professional advisors — our franchise attorneys, accountants, and registration agents who help evaluate candidates and maintain state registrations.
- Government and regulators — if required by state franchise regulators or by valid legal process.
- Affiliates — Polar Tint operating entities including Glacier Manufacturing (manufacturing partner) when necessary to coordinate site selection, training, or launch.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not rent, trade, or share your information with third parties for their independent marketing purposes.
5. How long we keep information
We retain franchise-inquiry information for as long as the candidate remains in our development pipeline plus seven years after the relationship ends, in order to meet recordkeeping requirements under the FTC Franchise Rule and state franchise laws. Aggregated analytics data is retained indefinitely.
6. Your choices
6.1 Access, correction, deletion
You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or request deletion. Send requests to info@polartintfranchise.com with the subject line “Privacy request.” We respond within 30 days.
6.2 California residents (CCPA / CPRA)
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act gives you the right to know what personal information we collect about you, to delete it, to correct it, and to opt out of any “sale” or “sharing” of your information. As stated above, we do not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. To exercise your rights, email info@polartintfranchise.com.
6.3 EEA / UK residents (GDPR)
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, port, or object to processing of your personal data. Our legal basis is your consent (you submitted the form) or our legitimate interest in operating a franchise-development pipeline.
6.4 Marketing emails
You can unsubscribe from any marketing email by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the message. Transactional emails (FDD delivery, Discovery Day confirmations) are not optional while you remain an active candidate.
6.5 Calls and text messages
By submitting a phone number through one of our forms, you consent to receive calls and text messages from Polar Tint Franchise about franchise opportunities, including by autodialer or prerecorded message. Consent is not a condition of any purchase or franchise award. Message and data rates may apply, and message frequency varies. Reply STOP to any text to opt out, or email info@polartintfranchise.com.
7. Security
We use industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information, including encryption in transit (TLS), restricted access, and managed hosting on WP Engine. No method of internet transmission is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Children
The Site is intended for adults considering a franchise investment. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted information, email us and we will delete it.
9. Third-party links
The Site contains links to third-party sites (LinkedIn, YouTube, FTC, SBA, IFA, state franchise registries, and our manufacturing partner glaciermfg.com). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. Read each site’s own privacy policy.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of the page. Material changes will be highlighted on the home page or in an email to active candidates. Continued use of the Site after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
