Privacy Policy

About This Privacy Policy

Thank you for visiting our website. Next Move Brands develops and operates a portfolio of franchise brands in high-demand service industries and builds and acquires businesses that help entrepreneurs launch, grow, and scale service-based companies. This Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand how we collect, use, and protect different types of information gathered through this website, as well as your rights in relation to that information and our approach to browser Do Not Track requests.

Who Is Covered by This Policy

Next Move Brands works with individual visitors, prospective franchise owners, investors, and other users aged thirteen (13) and above located in the United States. This website is intended for use by United States residents and is governed by the laws of the United States. If you believe a non-United States resident or a minor has inadvertently shared information with us, please notify us immediately.

Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected through the Next Move Brands website on which it is posted. It does not apply to third-party platforms, websites owned by our portfolio franchise brands, social media platforms, or other third-party websites to which we may link. It also does not apply to information collected through other channels, such as over the phone, in person, or through separate franchise disclosure processes. This Policy may be updated or supplemented from time to time with additional privacy notices provided at the point of data collection.

What Types of Information Do We Collect

At various times, Next Move Brands may collect two categories of information from visitors to our website:

Non-Personal Information refers to data that cannot be directly connected to a specific individual without being compiled with additional information. Examples include general geographic data, aggregate visitor counts, browsing behavior metrics, IP addresses, domain names, browser and device attributes, and the time and duration of your visit.

Personal Information refers to information that can be directly associated with a specific individual, such as a first and last name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, or any other identifier that uniquely identifies you. We collect Personal Information when you voluntarily provide it, for example, when submitting a contact form, requesting franchise information, or signing up for communications from us.

If you have questions about how we distinguish between these two types of information, please get in touch with us.

How We Use Your Information

Next Move Brands may use the information we collect for a variety of purposes, including but not limited to the following:

Responding to your inquiries and providing the information, products, or services you have requested
Communicating with you about franchise opportunities, investment information, portfolio brand updates, and other news relevant to your interests
Personalizing your experience on our website
Analyzing site usage and visitor behavior to improve our website content, functionality, and usability
Conducting market research and improving our overall business operations
Sending you marketing and promotional materials in accordance with any communication preferences you have expressed to us
Managing and growing our franchise platform and portfolio of brands
Detecting, preventing, and addressing fraud, security incidents, or other potentially harmful activities

Your Personal Information, including phone numbers and SMS opt-in data, will not be shared with third parties for their own independent marketing purposes.

How We Protect Your Information

Next Move Brands takes data security seriously. Information you submit through our website may be transmitted using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology with 256-bit encryption. Pages using this technology will have URLs that begin with HTTPS rather than HTTP. While we implement reasonable security measures to help protect your information against unauthorized use or disclosure, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We encourage you not to share sensitive personal information via email, as email is not recognized as a fully secure medium of communication.

How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals

Major commercial web browsers provide users with the option to send a Do Not Track signal to websites, requesting that those sites not use online tracking mechanisms. If your web browser sends a Do Not Track signal and our website receives it, we are designed to honor that request with respect to web data collected through our platform. We utilize a trusted third-party plugin to support this functionality. While no plugin is entirely foolproof, we selected this solution for its strong industry reputation. We make no warranty regarding the absolute effectiveness of this or any third-party security tool. If you have further questions about our approach to Do Not Track signals, please contact us.

Cookies and Web Beacons

We reserve the right to use cookies and web beacons (also referred to as single-pixel GIF files or clear GIF files) when you interact with our website. Cookies are small files stored on your device that allow us to recognize prior visits, remember user preferences, and improve overall site performance. You may adjust your browser settings to prevent new cookies from being accepted, receive notifications when a new cookie is placed, or disable cookies altogether. Instructions for managing cookies can typically be found in your browser’s Help menu. Please note that some features of our website may not function optimally if cookies are disabled.

Web beacons may be embedded in web pages or emails and are used to share certain Non-Personal and Personal Information, such as whether an email was opened, the IP address of the recipient, the length of time spent on a page, and pages visited. Beacons in emails can be declined by disabling HTML images or by refusing HTML formatting in your email client. For questions about our use of cookies and beacons, please contact us.

Third-Party Data Sharing

Next Move Brands does not sell your personal information. We may share your information with carefully selected third parties in the following circumstances:

With service providers and vendors who perform functions on our behalf, such as website hosting, analytics, survey administration, and marketing support. These parties are required to handle your information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy.

With our portfolio franchise brands, to the extent necessary to fulfill the purpose for which you provided your information, such as connecting you with a specific brand’s franchising team.
With analytics and advertising partners such as Google, Facebook, and LinkedIn, who may collect information through cookies and other tracking technologies to support interest-based advertising and site performance measurement. These partners operate under their own privacy policies.
In connection with a business transaction, such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, in which case your information may be transferred to a successor organization. Any such transfer will remain subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
When required by law or in response to a valid legal process, such as a court order or government inquiry, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Next Move Brands, our users, or the public.

Personal Information, including phone numbers and mobile opt-in data, will not be shared with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
