For Anago, what is the scope of custodians from whom electronically stored information may be collected?

Based on the 2025 Anago Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor has broad access to a subfranchisor's records, including those retained or recorded on any electronic or computer system. Anago is granted full and unimpeded 24-hour access, 365 days per year, to these records. This includes access through a modem or Internet connection installed within the subfranchisor's computer, and Anago will be supplied with hard copies of data upon request. The subfranchisor is responsible for any supplementary hardware or software costs associated with this access.

This level of access allows Anago to monitor the subfranchisor's operations closely and ensure compliance with the franchise agreement. It also enables Anago to gather data for various purposes, such as auditing, quality control, and business development. The subfranchisor must provide this access, and failure to do so could be considered a breach of the franchise agreement.

For a prospective subfranchisor, this means being prepared to provide Anago with extensive access to their electronic records and systems. They should ensure their systems are compatible with Anago's requirements and be ready to provide hard copies of data upon request. It is also important to factor in the potential costs of any supplementary hardware or software that may be required to facilitate this access. Given the breadth of access, subfranchisors should also maintain robust data security measures to protect sensitive information.
