Privacy Policy
Our commitment to protecting the sensitive business information and personal data shared with us through our deal forms and direct correspondence.
Effective: July 2026
1. Introduction
Breakwater Holdings respects the confidentiality of the businesses, brokers, and individuals who share information with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect the sensitive business information you provide through our deal submission forms, contact forms, and direct correspondence. By engaging with us, you consent to the practices described here.
2. Information We Collect
When you submit a deal or contact us, we may collect: your name, email address, organization or company name, approximate financial metrics (such as EBITDA and revenue), industry information, and any additional notes or details you choose to share. We may also receive non-identifiable technical information such as how you accessed our website. We do not collect more information than is necessary to evaluate an opportunity or respond to your inquiry.
3. How We Use Your Information
Information shared with us is used solely to evaluate potential acquisition opportunities, respond to inquiries, and maintain professional correspondence with brokers, intermediaries, and business owners. We do not sell, rent, or share your information with third parties for marketing purposes. Access to submitted materials is restricted to the small team directly involved in evaluating the opportunity.
4. Confidentiality of Business Information
We understand that the information shared during a sale process is highly sensitive. We treat all deal materials — including teasers, confidential information memoranda, financial statements, and any proprietary business data — with strict confidentiality. We are prepared to sign a non-disclosure agreement before receiving any sensitive materials, and we limit access to those materials to our core evaluation team only.
5. Data Retention
We retain submitted information only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected — typically for the duration of an evaluation and a reasonable period thereafter for record-keeping. If you request that we delete your information, we will do so unless we are legally required to retain it. Contact us at deals@breakwaterholdings.com to request deletion of your records.
6. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information you share with us against unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure. These measures include restricting access to authorized personnel, using secure storage for sensitive documents, and limiting the distribution of materials on a need-to-know basis. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Your Rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal information you have provided to us. You may also ask us to stop processing your information or to withdraw consent for its use. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at deals@breakwaterholdings.com and we will respond to your request in a timely manner.
8. Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies independently. We do not control how third parties collect or use your information once you leave our site.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
