This policy applies to our website, and our apps may contain additional policies.
2. The Information We Collect
We collect information that you provide voluntarily and information that is collected automatically when you visit the site.
Voluntarily provided information
When you complete forms on our site (contact form, franchise enquiry, pre-application analysis, etc.) we may collect details such as your name, location, contact number, email address, land/property details (for franchise enquiries), qualifications and other information you choose to provide.

4. Sharing & Disclosure of Information
We may share aggregated or statistical data with advertisers and third parties to improve our services — this does not include personally identifiable information.
We will only disclose personally identifiable information when you permit us to do so, or when required by law (for example in response to lawful requests by public authorities). In the event of a business transfer (e.g. sale, merger, reorganisation), personal information may be transferred to a successor entity — in such cases, we will take reasonable steps to inform affected users.
Our website may link to third-party websites. These third parties may collect information about you; their practices are governed by their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their content or handling of data.
5. Your Decisions & Responsibilities
All decisions you make when interacting with our site — including information you choose to submit — are your responsibility. Submitting false or misleading information, or attempting to hack or misrepresent data, may result in us seeking compensation for damages, losses and legal expenses.
6. Protection of Your Information
We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information. Your information may be accessed by our affiliates, partners or authorised third-party service providers that help us operate the site and run our business. Only authorised personnel are permitted to access personal data.
We don’t guarantee protection of information after it is shared with a third party (including sites you visit from our links) and are not liable for any loss or damage caused by those third parties. You should maintain up-to-date antivirus software on your systems; we are not liable for losses caused by viruses or malware encountered while using the site.
By providing contact details you consent to receive communications from us by email, phone, SMS, WhatsApp or other channels. You also agree that electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement for written notices.
7. Children
Our website is not intended to collect information from children. Minors should use the site under parental or guardian supervision. Third-party sites linked from our platform may independently collect data from children — these sites are not under our control.
