Information From Third Parties
We may receive limited information about you from service providers, business partners, and publicly available sources — for example, when a counterparty refers you to us or when we verify business details you have provided. We combine this information with data we already hold only for the purposes described in this Policy.
How We Use Your Information and Our Legal Bases
We use your information for the purposes below. Where required by law (for example, under the EU/UK GDPR), we rely on the legal basis identified for each purpose.
- Respond to your inquiries — to answer questions and provide the information or service you request (performance of a contract or steps taken at your request; legitimate interests).
- Provide information about our services — to describe our offerings and assist you (legitimate interests; consent where required).
- Connect buyers and sellers of businesses — to facilitate introductions and transactions you ask us to support (performance of a contract; legitimate interests).
- Improve our website and user experience — to analyze performance and develop our services (legitimate interests).
- Send newsletters, updates, and marketing — to share content and offers you may find useful, which you can opt out of at any time (consent; legitimate interests, where permitted).
- Analyze website performance and visitor behavior — to understand usage and measure effectiveness (consent for non-essential cookies; legitimate interests).
- Detect fraud, security incidents, or misuse — to protect our users, our services, and the public (legitimate interests; legal obligation).
- Comply with legal obligations — to meet applicable laws, regulations, and lawful requests (legal obligation).
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have assessed that those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms. You may object to this processing as described in "Your Rights" below.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to enable core website functionality, analyze traffic, remember your preferences, and support our marketing.
Strictly necessary cookies are required for the site to function and are always active. For non-essential cookies (such as analytics and marketing cookies), we request your consent where required by law, and you can accept, decline, or change your choices at any time through our cookie banner or preference center.
You may also disable cookies through your browser settings, although doing so may affect certain website functionality.
How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information.
We share information only as described below, and we require recipients to protect it through appropriate contractual and security safeguards.
- Service providers that help us operate our website and business (for example, hosting, IT, and support), acting on our instructions under written agreements.
- CRM and marketing automation providers that help us manage communications and relationships.
- Analytics providers that help us understand and improve website performance.
- Counterparties to a transaction you request — when you ask us to facilitate an introduction or deal, we share the information reasonably necessary to do so with the relevant buyer or seller. We use confidentiality protections (such as non-disclosure agreements) before sharing sensitive business details, and we share only what is needed for the introduction or transaction you have requested.
- Government and legal authorities when required by law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request, or to protect our rights, users, or the public.
- Successors in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to this Policy or a successor policy with comparable protections.
International Data Transfers
We may store and process your information in countries other than the one in which you reside, including countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as your jurisdiction.
Where we transfer personal information from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland to countries that have not received an adequacy decision, we use appropriate safeguards — such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses — to protect your information. You may request a copy of the relevant safeguards using the contact details below.
Data Security
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Depending on the context, these measures include:
- Encryption of data in transit and, where appropriate, at rest;
- Access controls that limit access to personal information to authorized personnel who need it;
- Vetting of service providers and contractual confidentiality and security obligations;
- Network protections, monitoring, and regular review of our practices.
No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping any account credentials and confidential information you share with us secure.
Data Breach Notification
If we become aware of a personal data breach that affects your information, we will act promptly to investigate and contain it. Where required by applicable law, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority and affected individuals without undue delay — and, where the GDPR applies, within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach where feasible — and we will describe the nature of the incident and the steps you can take.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.
As general guidance, and subject to change based on legal and operational requirements:
- Inquiry and contact records: typically up to 24 months after our last interaction, unless a transaction relationship is established.
- Transaction and introduction records: typically up to 7 years to meet legal, tax, and recordkeeping obligations.
- Marketing data: until you unsubscribe or withdraw consent, after which we suppress your details to honor your choice.
- Website and analytics data: typically retained in identifiable form for a limited period consistent with our analytics configuration.
Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have some or all of the following rights:
- Access the personal information we hold about you;
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
- Request deletion of your information;
- Object to or restrict certain processing activities;
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent (without affecting prior processing);
- Request a copy of your information in a portable format;
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in "Contact Us." We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law and may need to verify your identity before acting on your request. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
EEA, UK, and Swiss Users (GDPR)
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the GDPR (or its UK equivalent) governs our processing of your personal information. You have the rights described above, and you may contact your supervisory authority if you have concerns about how we handle your data.
California Users (CCPA/CPRA)
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose; to request access to and deletion of your personal information; to correct inaccurate information; and to be free from discrimination for exercising your rights.
Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising in a way that requires an opt-out under California law. If this changes, we will update this Policy and provide the required opt-out mechanism. You may submit requests using the contact details below, and you may use an authorized agent to act on your behalf as permitted by law.
Marketing Communications
If you receive promotional emails from us, you may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link in our emails or by contacting us directly. We will process opt-out requests promptly.
Please note that we may still send important administrative or transactional communications, such as responses to your inquiries or notices about changes to our services.
Third-Party Websites
Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.
Children's Privacy
Our website is intended for individuals who are at least 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Any changes become effective upon posting the revised version on this page, and the "Last Updated" date indicates when it was last revised.
If we make material changes, we will provide additional notice where appropriate — for example, by email to users who have provided their address or by a prominent notice on our website.
