Privacy Policy

1. Scope of This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through EIN Business Listings (EINBL), including our website, business listing submissions, seller inquiries, buyer and investor inquiries, contact forms, communications, document submissions, and other interactions with EINBL.

EINBL operates as a division of Enterprise Industry Network. Information may also be coordinated within Enterprise Industry Network where reasonably necessary to evaluate, route, or respond to your business needs.

2. Information You Provide

We may collect information you voluntarily provide, including:

• Name, email address, telephone number, and contact information.
• Company name, business location, website, and industry.
• Business ownership or representative information.
• Information submitted to create or evaluate a business listing.
• Seller, buyer, investor, broker, advisor, or representative information.
• Business descriptions, asking prices, financial information, and operational information.
• Transaction-related questions or expressions of interest.
• Documents, images, or other materials voluntarily submitted.
• Communications and other information you choose to provide.

3. Business Listing Information

EINBL may collect information relating to businesses that are proposed for listing, currently listed, previously listed, or otherwise submitted for evaluation.

Such information may include business descriptions, industry, geographic area, asking price, revenue information, cash flow, assets, operations, growth opportunities, ownership details, images, and other listing-related information.

4. Public Listing Information

Information specifically approved or authorized for publication as part of a business listing may be displayed publicly on EINBL websites, distributed through EIN websites, shared through marketing channels, or made available to prospective buyers and other visitors.

Public listing information may also be indexed by search engines or accessed, cached, copied, or shared by third parties outside EINBL's direct control.

5. Confidential and Nonpublic Business Information

Certain business information may be designated or treated as nonpublic, sensitive, or confidential for purposes of evaluating a listing, responding to inquiries, qualifying prospective parties, or facilitating a potential business transaction.

EINBL seeks to limit access to such information to persons with a legitimate business or transaction-related reason. However, submission through a public website form or general communication channel does not by itself create a contractual confidentiality obligation.

Specific confidentiality requirements may be governed by separate agreements, nondisclosure agreements, listing arrangements, or other written documentation.

6. Buyer and Investor Inquiry Information

When a prospective buyer or investor submits an inquiry, EINBL may collect contact information, company information, acquisition interests, investment criteria, geographic preferences, industry preferences, financial qualifications, experience, or other information relevant to evaluating the inquiry.

7. Seller and Listing Representative Information

EINBL may collect information from business owners, sellers, brokers, advisors, agents, representatives, or other parties who submit or manage business listing information.

This may include identity and contact information, authority to represent the business, listing details, business documentation, and communications.

8. Information Collected Automatically

When you use the EINBL website, certain technical information may be collected automatically through servers, cookies, analytics tools, and similar technologies.

This may include:

• IP address.
• Browser and device information.
• Operating system.

11. Sharing Information With Transaction Parties

Where appropriate to a business listing or transaction inquiry, information may be shared with sellers, prospective buyers, investors, brokers, advisors, representatives, or other relevant parties.

The type of information shared may depend on the nature of the inquiry, authorization, confidentiality requirements, qualification process, and stage of a potential transaction.

12. Sharing With Enterprise Industry Network Divisions

EINBL operates within Enterprise Industry Network. If another EIN division may be relevant to a seller, buyer, investor, funding, advisory, consulting, legal, or other business need, information may be coordinated within EIN as reasonably appropriate.

Subsequent services remain subject to the applicable scope, requirements, agreements, and policies of the relevant division.

13. Other Ways Information May Be Shared

EINBL does not sell personal information for monetary consideration. Information may be shared where reasonably necessary with:

• Participants in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, asset sale, or similar business transaction.

14. Listing Information Provided by Third Parties

Business listing information may be supplied by owners, sellers, representatives, brokers, advisors, agents, or other third parties.

EINBL may rely on information provided by those parties and does not necessarily independently audit or verify every statement, financial figure, image, document, or representation submitted for a listing.

15. Communications

If you provide contact information, EINBL may communicate with you regarding business listings, inquiries, transaction opportunities, account or submission matters, appointments, documentation, or other matters reasonably related to your interaction with us.

Where promotional communications are sent, you may opt out using an available unsubscribe mechanism or by contacting us.

16. Data Retention

EINBL retains information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including maintaining listings, responding to inquiries, facilitating transactions, keeping business records, resolving disputes, preventing fraud or abuse, enforcing agreements, and satisfying legal, regulatory, contractual, security, or operational requirements.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the business relationship involved.

17. Data Security

EINBL uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, misuse, or loss.

When a business listing is removed or no longer publicly displayed by EINBL, copies may remain temporarily in backups, internal records, browser caches, search-engine indexes, third-party archives, or other systems outside EINBL's direct control.

EINBL cannot guarantee immediate removal of information previously published and independently copied or indexed by third parties.

20. External Websites and Services

EINBL may link to third-party websites, platforms, service providers, professional advisors, transaction resources, or other external services.

EINBL does not control independent third-party privacy, security, content, or operating practices.

21. Children’s Privacy

EINBL is intended for adult business owners, buyers, investors, entrepreneurs, executives, advisors, and authorized representatives. The website is not directed to children under 13, and EINBL does not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children under 13.
