- California has certain additional privacy rights for residents of that state including specific rights for those under 18 years of age, designating authorized agents, and other regulations concerning discriminatory practices. Since we do not currently offer franchises in that state, we have not specifically listed those requirements. The state of Virginia also has such laws (“Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act”). As with California, we do not currently offer franchises in Virginia. Should this change in the future, we will update this policy to list and comply with those regulations.
