Franchisee CRM Platform (Go High Level) – Privacy and Terms Addendum
1. Scope and Roles
We provide access to a customer relationship management (CRM) platform powered by Go High Level (the “Platform”) for use by our franchisees and their authorized personnel. This Addendum governs franchisee use of the Platform and supplements our General Privacy Policy and Terms.
For purposes of applicable U.S. privacy and data security laws:
- We act as business/controller for personal information about franchisees and their users processed through the Platform (for example, franchise owner contact details, account credentials, subscription and billing information).
- Each franchisee is an independent business/controller for personal information about its customers and leads entered into the Platform (for example, customer names, contact details, appointments, and communications). We and Go High Level act as service providers/processors to that franchisee for such customer data.
Nothing in this Addendum creates an employment, partnership, or agency relationship between us and any franchisee.
2. Categories of Data Processed
Through the Platform we process, on our own behalf and on behalf of franchisees, the following categories of information:
- Franchisee account and user data – business contact information, login credentials, roles and permissions, support communications, and usage/activity within the Platform.
- Franchisee billing and payment data – billing contact information, subscription details, and payment method or bank information needed to charge monthly fees. Cardholder data is handled via PCI DSS‑compliant payment processors; we do not store full card numbers or CVV codes on our systems.
- Customer/lead CRM data – information about customers, prospects, and other contacts that a franchisee chooses to store (for example, names, contact details, marketing preferences, purchase or appointment history, and related notes).
- Technical and usage data – IP address, device identifiers, log data, and usage metrics collected through the Platform for security, troubleshooting, and analytics.
Franchisees are responsible for ensuring they only capture appropriate information through the Platform and do not use it to collect highly sensitive data except as permitted by our terms and by law (for example, Social Security numbers, full payment card data, or detailed medical records).
3. How Data Is Used
We use personal information processed through the Platform only as permitted by our agreements and applicable law, including to:
- Provide, maintain, and secure Platform functionality and related services to franchisees.
- Create and manage franchisee accounts, authenticate users, and enforce access controls.
- Process franchisee subscriptions, fees, refunds, and related communications.
- Monitor performance, detect and prevent fraud or abuse, and improve the Platform.
- Comply with legal, regulatory, tax, and accounting obligations.
We do not use customer CRM data to independently market our services directly to those customers and do not treat that data as our own for unrelated purposes.
4. Sharing and Transfers
We may share personal information processed through the Platform with:
- Service providers and sub‑processors, including Go High Level and payment processors, who host, support, secure, or operate the Platform, send communications, or process payments under written contracts that restrict their use of the data to providing services to us and require appropriate security measures. This category excludes text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties, excluding aggregators and providers of the Text Message services.
- Franchisees, who can see and use CRM data for their own customers and leads in line with their relationship with those individuals and applicable law.
- Affiliates, professional advisers, and auditors as reasonably necessary to operate our business and comply with legal obligations. This category excludes text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
- Regulators, law enforcement, and other third parties when required by law or to protect rights, safety, or security.
Because the Platform is cloud‑based, data may be stored or accessed from servers in the United States and other jurisdictions. Where required by law, we implement appropriate safeguards for cross‑border transfers.
5. Security, Payment Processing, and Retention
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information processed via the Platform against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse, including encryption in transit, access controls, logging, and regular security reviews.
- Payment and bank information: Payment card data is handled by PCI DSS‑compliant processors, and we follow industry standards to protect bank details and other financial information needed to bill franchisees.
- High‑risk data: Franchisees must not use the Platform to store full payment card data, unmasked bank credentials, or other highly sensitive identifiers beyond what is necessary for the services and permitted by our agreements and applicable law.
We retain personal information from the Platform only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, meet legal and accounting requirements, and enforce our agreements, after which we delete, de‑identify, or aggregate it as permitted by law.
6. Multi‑State Privacy Compliance and Individual Rights
We structure our privacy practices for the Platform to meet or exceed requirements under U.S. federal law and the consumer privacy laws now in effect across approximately twenty U.S. states (including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, Indiana, Kentucky, Rhode Island, and others with similar frameworks).
Where these laws apply, individuals may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or a portable copy of certain personal information, and to opt out of certain uses such as “sale,” targeted advertising, or certain types of profiling, subject to legal exceptions.
- Customers of franchisees should first direct privacy requests to the franchisee that collected their information, as that franchisee is the primary controller of their CRM data; we may assist franchisees in fulfilling such requests via Platform tools.
- Franchisees and their users may submit privacy requests relating to account, billing, or technical information we control using the contact methods described in the “U.S. State‑Specific Privacy Rights” and “How to Contact Us” sections of our General Privacy Policy.
We respond to requests in accordance with applicable state law and do not unlawfully discriminate against individuals for exercising their privacy rights.
7. Franchisee Responsibilities and Acceptable Use
As a condition of using the Platform, each franchisee agrees to:
- Use the Platform only for lawful business purposes, in compliance with all applicable federal and state privacy, data security, telemarketing, and consumer‑protection laws.
- Provide its own customers with any legally required privacy notices, consents, and opt‑out mechanisms in connection with its use of the Platform.
- Configure and manage user access, permissions, and security settings (for example, strong passwords and multi‑factor authentication) appropriately.
- Promptly notify us of any suspected or actual unauthorized access to Platform data relating to its account and cooperate with us on any investigation or legally required notifications.
- Refrain from uploading to the Platform any information that is prohibited by our terms or by law, including certain highly sensitive personal or financial information beyond what is necessary for the services.
We may suspend or terminate Platform access, with notice where reasonable, where necessary to protect security, comply with law, or address a material breach of this Addendum or our other terms.
8. U.S. State‑Specific Privacy Compliance (CRM Platform)
This subsection is intended to satisfy and harmonize the requirements of the growing number of U.S. state consumer privacy laws that apply to our CRM Platform (the “Privacy States”), including, for example, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, Oregon, Delaware, New Jersey, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Rhode Island, and other U.S. states with similar laws as they come into effect.
Additional disclosures. For residents of Privacy States, and solely with respect to personal information processed through the Platform, we:
- Collect and use categories of personal information that generally include identifiers (such as name and contact details), commercial and account information (such as subscription and transaction history), internet or electronic activity information (such as log and usage data), professional information (such as business role), and inferences drawn from these categories, and, where you or a franchisee choose to provide it, limited financial or health‑related information.
- Process these categories for the business purposes described in this Addendum and our General Privacy Policy, including providing and securing the Platform, processing payments, supporting franchise operations, and complying with legal obligations.
- Disclose these categories to the types of recipients described above (for example, service providers such as Go High Level and payment processors, franchisees, professional advisers, and authorities where required by law), and we contractually restrict our service providers’ use of personal information to permitted purposes.
We do not knowingly use customer CRM data for our own independent marketing to those customers, and we do not treat that data as being “sold” or used for “targeted advertising” in a way that would require an opt‑out under most Privacy State laws. If our practices change such that a “sale,” “sharing,” targeted advertising, or high‑risk profiling occurs, we will update our notices and provide any required opt‑out or consent mechanisms.
Your Privacy State rights. Subject to exceptions under applicable law, residents of Privacy States may have the right to:
- Request access to, or a portable copy of, personal information we maintain about them.
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
- Request deletion of certain personal information.
-
Opt out of:
- the “sale” of personal information;
- the use of personal information for targeted advertising; and
- certain profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
- In some states, limit or require consent for our use or disclosure of certain “sensitive” personal information (for example, precise geolocation, certain health information, or children’s data).
- Appeal our decision if we decline to take action on a request, using the process we will provide in our response.
- We will not unlawfully discriminate against anyone for exercising these rights.
How to exercise these rights for CRM data.
- If you are a customer or lead of a franchisee, you should first contact that franchise location, which is the primary controller of your CRM data. We may support the franchisee in responding to your request using Platform tools.
- If you are a franchisee or authorized user, or if your request concerns Platform account, billing, or technical data that we control, you (or your authorized agent, where permitted) may exercise your rights by using the contact methods described in our General Privacy Policy and indicating that your request relates to “U.S. State Privacy Rights – CRM Platform.”
We may need to reasonably verify your identity (and, where relevant, your authority to act for someone else) before responding. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable state law and will explain any denial or limitation of your request and how to appeal where that right exists.
Your Privacy Rights Under Certain State Laws
The following rights apply to general personal information but specifically exclude mobile messaging opt-in data and consent.
Some states including California, Connecticut, Colorado, Delaware, Minnesota,Montana, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Washington have passed data privacy laws that may extend certain rights to individuals that are described in our Supplemental Website Privacy Notice including:
- The right to request us to stop sharing your Personal Information to third parties
