Quick version
This site is mainly an informational website for our store. We do not use this website to process online payments, and we do not ask visitors to create accounts. If you contact us, apply for a job, or join our local email list, we only use the information you share to respond, review your application, or send store-related updates.
Who this policy is for
This policy applies to this local franchise website only. Our location is a locally owned and independently operated member of the Dairy Queen Franchise System. If you visit another Dairy Queen website or order through a third-party service, that business or service will have its own privacy practices.
Information we may receive
We may receive basic information in a few simple ways:
- If you call us, we receive the phone number and information you choose to share during the conversation.
- If you contact us by email or through our contact form, we receive the contact details, optional phone number, topic, and message you send.
- If you complete an online application, we receive the information you provide for hiring review, including your contact details, availability, and related work information.
- If you sign up for local updates through the website, we receive the email address you choose to share.
- Our web hosting provider may automatically record basic technical details such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and the date and time of a visit to help keep the site working and secure.
How we use that information
- To answer questions and respond to store-related requests.
- To review job applications and communicate about hiring.
- To send local store updates if you ask to join our email list.
- To maintain the website, fix issues, and protect it from misuse.
- To improve basic site content, such as hours, menu references, and store information.
Messages, signups, and applications submitted through this website are routed to the store inbox for review.
We do not sell personal information collected through this website.
What this site does not currently do
- It does not process online payments directly.
- It does not require customer accounts or passwords.
- It does not run customer accounts or a broad third-party marketing platform through this website.
- It does not appear to run its own analytics or ad-tracking scripts at this time.
Cookies and similar technology
We do not currently use this website to build customer profiles or run advertising trackers. Like most websites, basic site tools or hosting services may still use standard technical functions, including cookies or temporary logs, to keep pages loading correctly, improve security, and support normal website operation.
Form security
Our website forms use basic technical checks intended to reduce spam and misuse, such as request verification, hidden bot-trap fields, and simple rate limiting. Those checks are used to protect the website and store inbox, not to profile visitors.
Third-party links
This site links out to third-party services such as Uber Eats, Dairy Queen rewards, merchandise, and social media pages. Once you leave this website, the privacy practices of those services apply instead of ours. We recommend reviewing their policies if you choose to use them.
Children's privacy
This website is not intended to collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information through this site, contact us and we will address it as quickly as we can.
How long information is kept
We keep information only as long as it is reasonably needed to respond to a message, maintain site records, troubleshoot problems, or meet legal or operational needs.
Changes to this policy
We may update this page from time to time if the website changes. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of the page so visitors can see when the policy was last refreshed.
