What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Floyds 99 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a data security breach occurs, the franchisee must immediately notify Floyds 99 and comply with all investigation and remediation efforts related to such breach consistent with Floyds 99's standards and specifications. This requirement is part of the broader responsibility of the franchisee to protect the Program and data generated by its use.
Floyds 99 requires franchisees to ensure that each employee with access to the Program executes a written confidentiality agreement. This agreement is intended to protect sensitive information and prevent unauthorized access, use, disclosure, or copying of the Program or its data. The franchisee is responsible for maintaining security precautions to keep the Program and its data confidential both during and after the franchise term.
In practical terms, this means a Floyds 99 franchisee must have systems in place to monitor data security, train employees on confidentiality, and act swiftly in the event of a breach. Failure to comply with these requirements could lead to further investigation, penalties, or even termination of the franchise agreement. Franchisees should ensure they understand Floyds 99's standards and specifications for data security and maintain open communication with the franchisor regarding any potential breaches.
