Introduction

Cooperhawk Business Brokers (“Cooperhawk,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information we collect through our website, forms, communications, and related business brokerage and advisory services. This Privacy Policy explains the categories of personal information we collect, the sources from which we collect it, the purposes for which we use it, the categories of third parties to whom we disclose it, the choices and rights available to individuals under applicable law, and how to contact us about our privacy practices.

Inquiry and submission information (form responses, valuation requests, qualification materials)
Transaction-related information (documents and communications submitted in connection with a potential transaction)
Internet or network activity information (IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, referring URLs, approximate geolocation derived from IP, cookie identifiers)
Marketing and communications preferences

We may collect personal information directly from you, automatically from your device or browser when you use our website, and from our service providers, including analytics or advertising partners.

How We Use Information

Cooperhawk may use collected information for the following business and commercial purposes:

to provide brokerage, valuation, marketing, and advisory services;
to respond to inquiries;
to facilitate buyer and seller qualification processes and support potential transactions;
to operate maintain, monitor, troubleshoot, and improve our website and related systems;

to market our services and, where applicable, support advertising and promotional campaigns; improve Website functionality;
to deliver newsletters, service announcements and updates;
to comply with legal obligations; and
to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims and protect our rights, property and operations.

Confidential Information

Business brokerage transactions may involve sensitive financial, operational, and proprietary information. Cooperhawk takes commercially reasonable measures designed to help safeguard confidential information shared in connection with valuation discussions, buyer inquiries, seller inquiries, and transaction-related communications. However, submission of information through our website or electronic communications does not, by itself, create a fiduciary, advisory, or other formal client relationship unless separately agreed, and no method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Sharing of Information

We may disclose personal information to the following categories of third parties, as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy:

Service providers and processors that perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, data storage, customer relationship management, analytics, communications, marketing support, security, and information technology services;
Professional advisers, such as legal, accounting, insurance, compliance, and similar advisers;
Marketing, analytics, and advertising partners, including providers that help us measure website traffic, evaluate campaign performance, or deliver marketing and promotional content;
Transaction-related parties, including prospective buyers, sellers, investors, lenders, diligence participants, and other parties involved in a potential business transaction, where appropriate and subject to applicable confidentiality arrangements;
Governmental, regulatory, or law enforcement authorities where required by law or where necessary to protect rights, safety, and property; and
Parties involved in a corporate transaction, such as a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets.

We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration. However, some disclosures involving cookies, pixels, analytics, or advertising technologies may be considered “sale,” “sharing,” or use of personal information for “targeted advertising” under certain state privacy laws. Individuals may have the right to opt out of such activities as described below under Consumer Rights and Deletion Requests.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We and our service providers may use cookies, analytics tools, tracking pixels, and related technologies to operate our website, improve functionality, analyze traffic and usage patterns, remember preferences, and support marketing and advertising activities.

These technologies may include:

Strictly necessary technologies, which are required for the website to function properly;
Analytics and performance technologies, which help us understand how visitors use our website and improve content and functionality;
Functional technologies, which help remember preferences and enhance user experience; and
Advertising or targeting technologies, which may be used to measure advertising effectiveness and, where applicable, help deliver content or promotions that may be more relevant to your interests.

Third-party services such as Google Analytics and Meta/Facebook Pixel may independently collect information subject to their own privacy policies.

You may be able to control cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through cookie preference tools provided on the website. Depending on your state of residence and applicable law, you may also have the right to opt out of certain uses of personal information for targeted advertising or similar activities. If Cooperhawk recognizes browser-based opt-out preference signals where required by law, those signals will be honored in accordance with applicable law.

Email Communications

Cooperhawk may periodically communicate with users regarding brokerage opportunities, market updates, newsletters, service announcements, and marketing communications. Users may opt out of marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in those communications or by contacting us using the information below. Even if you opt out of marketing communications, we may still send administrative, transactional, relationship, or service-related communications where appropriate.

Data Security

Cooperhawk uses commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, misuse, alteration, or destruction. These safeguards are intended to be appropriate to the nature of the information and the risks associated with processing it. However, no electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure and Cooperhawk cannot guarantee absolute security of personal information.

Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services. Cooperhawk is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third-party websites. Any information you provide to third-party sites or services is subject to their own terms and privacy notices.

Data Retention

Cooperhawk may retain collected personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide services, manage business operations, comply with legal obligations, maintain records, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information, the context in which it was collected, the relationship we have with the individual or business involved, and applicable legal, regulatory, contractual, and operational requirements.

Consumer Rights and Deletion Requests

Depending on your state of residence and applicable law, you may have the right to request that we:

confirm whether we process your personal information;
provide access to certain personal information we maintain about you;
correct inaccuracies in your personal information;
delete certain personal information;
provide a copy of certain personal information in a portable format; and
opt you out of certain processing activities, including, where applicable, the sale of personal information, the sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, targeted advertising, or certain profiling activities.

To exercise any applicable privacy rights, please contact us using the contact information provided below. We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to your request. In some cases, we may deny or limit a request where permitted by law, including where retaining information is necessary for legal, regulatory, contractual, security, fraud prevention, or operational purposes.

Where required by applicable law, you may also have the right to appeal a decision we make regarding your privacy request by contacting us and stating that you wish to appeal our decision.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any privacy rights available to you under applicable law.

Children’s Privacy

The Website is not directed toward individuals under the age of thirteen (13), and Cooperhawk does not knowingly collect personal information from children under thirteen. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under thirteen in a manner inconsistent with applicable law, we will take steps to delete that information.

Multi-State Operations

Cooperhawk provides services in multiple jurisdictions, and privacy rights may vary depending on the state in which an individual resides. We will provide disclosures and honor privacy rights as required by applicable law.

Certain state privacy laws may define terms such as “sale,” “sharing,” “targeted advertising,” and “sensitive personal information” differently than those terms are used in ordinary business practice. Where those laws apply, we will interpret and apply this Privacy Policy in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our business practices, technologies, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make changes, we will revise the Effective Date at the top of this Privacy Policy. Any updates will become effective when posted, unless otherwise stated.

Where required by applicable law or where appropriate under the circumstances, we may provide additional notice regarding material changes.

No Legal or Financial Advice

Information provided through the Website, newsletters, valuation materials, or related communications is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, tax, accounting, financial, or investment advice.
