This privacy policy discloses
how Doctor’s Associates Inc. collects,
protects, uses and shares information
gathered about you on our web site and the
web site for the SUBWAY® Card. Currently,
the SUBWAY® Card is being administered by
Ontain Corporation on our behalf. We hope
that this disclosure will help increase your
confidence in our sites and our level of
customer service.
While visiting the SUBWAY®
web site and the SUBWAY® Card web site you
may be asked to provide information that
personally identifies you. This information
is gathered on a voluntary basis to better
serve you.
You may choose not to
provide personal information and you still
will be able to visit most of the SUBWAY®
web site but you will not be able to
register your SUBWAY® Card at the SUBWAY®
Card web site. Doctor’s Associates Inc. is
the sole owner of the information collected
on the SUBWAY® web site and the SUBWAY® Card
web site. We collect personal information at
several different points on our Web site.
The following items are a sample of areas in
the SUBWAY® web site where personal

Information You Provide
For the areas of the
SUBWAY® web site where the collection of
personally identifiable information is
necessary, you will know because you will
have to fill out a form. For most
activities, we collect only your name and
e-mail address. If you request a Franchise
Brochure we will also need your address and
telephone number to send you information
about franchise opportunities. When you make
a purchase from the Online Subway Store, our
affiliate the Franchisee Shipping Center
Co., Inc. will also collect your street and
billing addresses, your phone number, and
credit card information. Depending on what
you purchase, we may also need to collect
other personal information, like your
clothing size. If you are participating in a
contest we may also need to collect your
shipping address to forward any prize won to
you. If you fill out a job application, we
will also forward your job application
information to the party or parties that you
specify. Additionally, we will forward
customer complaints or feedback concerning
specific restaurants, to the owner(s) of the
SUBWAY® restaurant. Otherwise, we do not
provide your information to third parties.
You may unsubscribe from all SUBWAY® mailing
lists at any time.
If you fill out an
Application for Additional Information to
become a SUBWAY® franchisee, we will seek
extensive additional personal information.
Such information will be used solely for the
purpose of determining your qualifications
to become a SUBWAY® franchisee.
If you have not opted out
of receiving marketing materials, we may
also use, but will not disclose, your
personal information to promote and market
additional goods, services and special
offers from us and our affiliates.
You can choose not to
allow us to use or disclose your personal
information for direct marketing purposes by
indicating your preference at the time of
collection, by responding to the promotional
email in the manner provided for or by
contacting our Privacy Officer in the manner
described below.
Typically, we will seek
consent for the use or disclosure of your
personal information at the time of
collection. In certain circumstances,
consent may be sought after the information
has been collected but before use (for
example, when we want to use information for
a purpose not previously identified).
The form of consent that
we seek, including whether it is express or
implied, will largely depend on the
sensitivity of the personal information and
the reasonable expectations of the
individual in the circumstances.
You may withdraw consent
at any time, subject to legal or contractual
restrictions and reasonable notice. If you
wish to withdraw your consent at any time,
please contact our Privacy Officer in the
manner described below. We will inform you
of the implications of withdrawing consent.
We will not, as a
condition of the supply of a product or
service, require you to consent to the
collection, use or disclosure of information
beyond that required to fulfill the
explicitly specified and legitimate purposes
for which the information is being provided.
Information Collected
using Technology
When you visit the Web
site, we may collect some information about
you using technology, so it may not be
readily apparent to you that it is being
collected. For instance, when you come to
our site your IP address is collected so
that we know where to send information you
are requesting. An IP address is often
associated with the place from which you
enter the Internet like your ISP (Internet
service provider), your company, or your
school. The following information is logged
by our web servers during visits to the Web
site: IP addresses, type of operating
system, time and duration of visit, web
pages visited and browser type. We do not
link server log information to any other
information in a way that would enable the
identification of visitors to the Web site.
Server log information is analyzed by us in
order to improve the website and to
customize the website for users. In
addition, from time to time, server logs may
be reviewed for security purposes; for
example, to detect unauthorized activity on
the website. In such cases, server log data,
containing IP addresses, would be shared
with law enforcement bodies in order that
they may identify users in connection with
their investigation of the unauthorized
activities.
Cookies
When you visit our Web
site, we place a text file called a “cookie”
in the browser directory of your computer’s

These pieces of information allow the Web
site to remember important information that
will make your use of that site more useful.
Internet companies use cookies for a variety
of purposes. We use cookies to help improve
your future visits.
You can choose to have
your computer warn you each time a cookie is
being sent, or you can choose to turn off
all cookies. You do this through your
browser (like Netscape Navigator or Internet
Explorer) settings. Each browser is a little
different, so look at your browser Help menu
to learn the correct way to modify your
cookies. If you turn cookies off, you won’t
have access to many features that make your
experience on our web site more efficient
and some of our services will not function
properly.
SUBWAY® Card Program
