Direct marketing and data protection
We are regularly approached by both Franchisor and Franchisee clients asking for our advice in connection with proposed direct marketing campaigns and the implications of data protection legislation. What data can be collected and held about customers and potential customers? How should such data be protected and how can it be used?

For Franchisors, it applies equally to information gathered about potential franchisees as part of your recruitment process.
