- Listing and data room content. Listings, documents, NDAs and messages you upload or send.

Why we use it
- To create and secure your account and confirm your email address
- To calculate valuations and save them to your account
- To publish listings, run data rooms, record NDAs and pass inquiries between buyers, owners and brokers
- To match owners with brokers in their state and industry when the owner asks for it
- To send deal alerts and service emails you asked for
- To bill subscriptions and keep accounting records
- To prevent abuse, investigate security incidents and meet legal obligations
Legal bases
We process data to perform our contract with you, to pursue our legitimate interests in running and securing the service, to comply with legal obligations and, where required, with your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
Who we share data with
- Other users, as you direct. Buyers you approve see your listing details and data room; brokers you choose to be matched with receive your valuation and contact email.
- Service providers who process data on our behalf: hosting and storage, email delivery, payment processing, e-signature records and error monitoring, each bound by a data processing agreement.
- Authorities, when the law requires it.
We do not sell personal data and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Cookies
We use essential cookies for sign-in, security and remembering your valuation during a session. We do not use advertising cookies.
How long we keep data
Account data is kept while your account is active and deleted within 90 days after you close it, except billing records we must keep for tax purposes. Valuations without an account are deleted when the session ends. Data rooms are kept until you delete them or close your account.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, including under the California Consumer Privacy Act and the GDPR, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your data, to object to or restrict processing, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal data (we do neither). Write to [email protected]. We reply within 30 days and do not discriminate against you for using your rights. You may also complain to your data protection authority.
Security
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access to production systems is limited and logged, and data rooms record every view and download. Details on security.
International transfers
The service is operated for the United States. If you use it from another country, your data is processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate, under safeguards required by law.
Children
The service is for adults acting in a business capacity and is not directed at anyone under 18.
