LITTLE CAESARS INTERNATIONAL FRANCHISEE WEBSITE

There are a few ways we collect personal data through the website:

   address, and country. Per our franchisee assessment process, we also ask you
   to confirm you have the minimum liquidity to qualify as a franchisee.

   us and the contents of your communications with us. We also collect any
   additional personal data you choose to include in your email.
 * Webinar Registration: We collect your first and last name and email address.
