findingpromisedland.com

Effective Date: May 16, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Linton Hospitality LLC and Ferncrest Franchising LLC (together with their affiliates, “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collect, use, share, and protect information when you visit findingpromisedland.com and related subdomains, pages, and services (the “Site”), purchase products or programs, subscribe to communications, submit franchise or business inquiries, or otherwise interact with us.

By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site. This Policy is incorporated into and subject to our Terms of Service.

1. Who We Are

The Site is operated jointly by Linton Hospitality LLC and Ferncrest Franchising LLC. For privacy purposes, the relevant entity acting as the controller of your information is the entity with which you transact or communicate; both entities are reachable through the contact details in Section 13. Our business address is 103 Tauschman Road, Greentown, PA 18426.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in three ways: information you provide directly, information collected automatically, and information from third parties.

2.1 Information You Provide

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you use the Site, we and our service providers automatically collect technical and usage information using cookies, pixels, tags, and similar technologies, including:

• Device and browser data (IP address, device type, operating system, browser, language);
• Usage data (pages viewed, links clicked, referring/exit pages, time on site, scroll and interaction events);
• Marketing and attribution data (UTM parameters, ad clicks, conversion events, and which campaign or funnel led you to us);
• Approximate location derived from IP address.

2.3 Information From Third Parties

We may receive information about you from advertising and analytics platforms (such as Google and Meta), payment processors, email and CRM platforms, lead-generation partners, and publicly available sources. We use this to operate, measure, and improve our marketing and Services.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use information for the following purposes:

• To provide, operate, and deliver the Site, products, programs, courses, memberships, and events you request;
• To process payments, fulfill orders, and manage subscriptions and renewals;
• To respond to inquiries, including franchise and consulting inquiries, and to evaluate and follow up on prospective franchise or business relationships;
• To send transactional messages and, where permitted, marketing emails, newsletters, offers, and content about our products and the Ferncrest and Finding Promised Land brands;
• To personalize content and advertising, including retargeting and lookalike audiences across third-party platforms;
• To measure and improve the Site, our funnels, and our offerings, and to conduct analytics and research;
• To maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse, and enforce our Terms;
• To comply with legal obligations and to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

4. Payment Processing

Payments are processed by third-party payment processors. When you make a purchase, your payment card information is collected and processed directly by the processor under its own terms and privacy policy. We do not store full payment card numbers on our systems. We receive limited transaction information (such as confirmation, amount, and the last digits of the card) needed to fulfill and support your order.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies for essential site functionality, analytics, and advertising. Categories include strictly necessary cookies, performance/analytics cookies, and marketing/advertising cookies (including pixels operated by advertising platforms used to measure and target our campaigns).

You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where offered, through a cookie banner or preference tool on the Site. You can also opt out of certain advertising cookies through industry tools such as the Digital Advertising Alliance and Network Advertising Initiative, and through your Google and Meta ad settings. Note: blocking some cookies may affect Site functionality.

6. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information only as described below:

• Service providers: vendors that host the Site, process payments, send email, run analytics and advertising, provide CRM and scheduling, and support operations, under contractual confidentiality and data-protection obligations.
• Advertising and analytics partners: platforms such as Google and Meta that help us measure and deliver advertising. Some of this sharing may be considered “sharing” or a “sale” for targeted advertising under certain U.S. state privacy laws – see Section 9.
• Affiliated entities: between Linton Hospitality LLC, Ferncrest Franchising LLC, and their affiliates for the purposes described in this Policy.
• Franchise evaluation: where you submit a franchise inquiry, with internal franchise development personnel and, where relevant, advisors involved in evaluating prospective franchisees.
• Legal and protective: to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, enforce our Terms, or protect the rights, property, or safety of the Company, our users, or others.
• Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, including a potential sale of the franchise business, in which case information may be transferred as a business asset.

7. Email and Marketing Communications

If you opt in or purchase from us, we may send marketing emails about our products, programs, content, and brands. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any marketing email or by contacting us. We will still send necessary transactional or account-related messages (for example, purchase confirmations and important Service notices).

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, including providing the Services, complying with legal, tax, and accounting obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing agreements. Retention periods vary by data type and context; when information is no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it.

9. Your U.S. State Privacy Rights

Depending on your state of residence (including California, and states with comparable laws such as Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and others), you may have the right to:

• Know and access the personal information we hold about you;
• Request correction of inaccurate personal information;
• Request deletion of your personal information;
• Opt out of “sale” or “sharing” of personal information and targeted advertising;
• Receive a portable copy of certain information;
• Not be discriminated against for exercising your rights.

California “Shine the Light” and CCPA/CPRA: California residents may request information about disclosures for direct-marketing purposes and exercise the rights above. To exercise any right, contact us using Section 13. We will verify your request before responding and may ask for information to confirm your identity. You may use an authorized agent where permitted by law.

10. International Users (GDPR/UK)

The Site is operated from the United States, and your information will be processed in the United States, which may not provide the same level of data protection as your jurisdiction. If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing of your personal data, and to data portability, and you may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. We process personal data on the legal bases of contract performance, legitimate interests (operating and marketing our Services), consent (where required, such as certain cookies and marketing), and legal compliance.

11. Children’s Privacy

The Site and Services are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18 (or under 13 within the meaning of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act). If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

12. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential.
