Can Spray Net share a franchisee's gross sales information with other franchisees?

The 2025 Spray Net Franchise Disclosure Document does not explicitly state whether Spray Net can share a franchisee's gross sales information with other franchisees. However, the document does mention that Spray Net may establish and maintain a website portal or other intranet for use by franchisees and other franchised business owners. On this portal, Spray Net may post content that will automatically become part of, and constitute a supplement to, the manuals, all of which the franchisee must strictly comply with promptly after such content is posted or otherwise listed on the Spray-Net Web Portal.

It is common practice in franchising to share performance data in an anonymized or aggregated format to help franchisees benchmark their performance and understand industry trends. However, sharing individual franchisee's specific gross sales data is less common and would typically require the franchisee's consent or be governed by privacy policies.

A prospective Spray Net franchisee should seek clarification from the franchisor regarding their policies on data sharing, specifically whether individual gross sales information is ever shared with other franchisees or third parties. Understanding these policies is crucial for maintaining confidentiality and protecting sensitive business information.
