5. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it only as follows:

• Affiliates: with our franchisor parent and affiliated brands, to respond to your franchise inquiry. This sharing never includes your text messaging opt-in data or consent.
• Service providers: with companies that perform services for us, such as website hosting, CRM, email and SMS delivery, analytics, and franchise development support. They may use your information only to provide those services.
• Legal and safety reasons: when required by law, subpoena, or court order, or to protect our rights, property, or safety or that of others.
• Business transfers: as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, where the information would remain subject to the protections in this policy.
• With your consent: in any other case where you have told us we may.

6. Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to make the website work and to understand how it is used. These fall into the following categories:

You can control cookies through your browser settings or our cookie preferences banner. Blocking some cookies may affect how the site works. Where required by law, we honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as a request to opt out of sharing for targeted advertising.

7. Your Choices

• Text messages: reply STOP to any message to opt out.
• Email: click "unsubscribe" in any marketing email.
• Phone calls: ask us to stop calling, and we will add you to our internal do-not-call list.
• Cookies: adjust your browser settings or cookie preferences.

Even if you opt out of marketing, we may still send messages you request or that relate to an open inquiry, unless you opt out of those too.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Know what personal information we have about you and request a copy;
• Correct inaccurate information;
• Request that we delete your information;
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for targeted advertising (we do not sell personal information); and
• Not be treated differently for exercising these rights.

To make a request, contact us using the details in Section 15. We may need to verify your identity before responding, and we will respond within the time required by applicable law.

9. Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes in this policy, including to respond to your inquiry, keep records of your messaging consent, and meet legal, regulatory, and franchise-disclosure recordkeeping requirements. We then delete or anonymize it.

10. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Children's Privacy

This website is intended for adults exploring a business opportunity. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.

12. Third-Party Links

This website may link to other sites, such as our corporate site and social media pages. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies.

13. Franchise Disclaimer

The information on this website is provided for informational purposes only. It is not an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, a franchise. An offer can only be made through our Franchise Disclosure Document ("FDD") and in compliance with applicable federal and state franchise laws, including any state registration requirements. If you have questions about the registration status of franchises in your jurisdiction, contact your state's franchise regulatory agency.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page with a new effective date. If we make material changes to how we use text messaging data, we will obtain any consent required by law.
