1. Introduction

Franchise Elect (“Franchise Elect”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) operates the website franchiseelect.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

By closing the cookie notice or continuing to use our Site, you agree to our use of cookies as described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide to us: when you submit a contact form, book a consultation, request a brand assessment, or subscribe to The Weekly Franchise Briefing newsletter, we collect your name, email address, phone number, and any details you choose to share about your business goals or investment interests.

Information collected automatically: like most websites, we automatically collect certain technical data when you visit — including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, referring website, and the date and time of your visit.

Cookies and similar technologies: we use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as pixels and local storage) for analytics, advertising, and to improve our Site.

3. How We Use Your Information

To respond to your enquiries and provide the franchise consulting, brokerage, and matching services you request.

To schedule and prepare for consultation calls and follow up on your franchise journey.

To send you The Weekly Franchise Briefing newsletter and, where permitted, other updates about franchise opportunities and events. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.

To measure and improve the performance of our Site, content, and marketing through analytics.

To deliver relevant advertising and measure the effectiveness of our campaigns.

To comply with legal obligations and protect the security of our Site and users.

4. Cookies We Use

Analytics cookies: we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site — which pages are read, how long visits last, and where visitors come from. This helps us improve our content and services.

Advertising cookies: advertising partners may set cookies to show you relevant Franchise Elect offers on other websites and to measure campaign performance.

Essential cookies: a small number of cookies and local-storage entries are strictly necessary for the Site to function — for example, remembering your cookie-notice preference and keeping forms secure.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling analytics or advertising cookies will not prevent you from using the Site, though some features may work less smoothly.

5. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We share data only with trusted service providers who help us operate the Site and our services — such as our website hosting, database, email delivery, and analytics providers — and only to the extent necessary for them to perform their services for us.

We may also disclose information where required by law, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Franchise Elect, our users, or others.

6. How We Protect Your Data

We use industry-standard safeguards to protect the information we hold, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls, and secure third-party hosting for our forms and database.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we review and update our protections regularly.

7. Data Retention

We keep your personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy — typically for the duration of our business relationship with you plus a reasonable period afterwards to meet legal, accounting, and reporting requirements. Newsletter subscriber data is kept until you unsubscribe.

8. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, update, or delete the personal information we hold about you, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent (for example, unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time).

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at connect@franchiseelect.com or +91 77361 61461. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

9. Third-Party Links

Our Site, blog, and news desk may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to them. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.

10. Children's Privacy

Our Site and services are intended for business owners and entrepreneurs. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The latest version will always be posted on this page with the “Last updated” date shown above. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
