What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Cinch I.T.'s 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Cinch I.T., as the administrator of the intranet, has the technical capability to access and view any communication posted on the intranet. This includes all communications posted by franchisees or any other users of the intranet.
Furthermore, the document states that all communications posted on the intranet become the property of Cinch I.T., without any claims of privacy or privilege from the franchisee or any other person or entity. This means that franchisees should not expect any level of privacy when using the intranet for communications, as Cinch I.T. owns the content and can access and view it at will.
This policy has significant implications for franchisees. It is crucial to understand that any information, ideas, or concerns shared on the intranet are fully accessible to Cinch I.T. Franchisees should exercise caution and discretion when posting on the intranet, avoiding the sharing of sensitive or confidential information that they would not want Cinch I.T. to access. This also means that Cinch I.T. can use any information posted on the intranet as they see fit, as they own the content.
