We may disclose information when you direct us to do so, authorize the disclosure, or otherwise provide consent.

Aggregated or De-Identified Information

We may use and disclose information that has been aggregated, de-identified, or otherwise reasonably modified so that it cannot be associated with a particular individual.

Confidential Business Information

Submitting information through this website does not, by itself, create a confidential, fiduciary, advisory, partnership, or other special relationship between you and Dobbs Equity Partners.

Although we take reasonable steps to safeguard information submitted to us, you should not send trade secrets, highly sensitive financial information, privileged materials, personal financial account information, Social Security numbers, or other confidential information through a general website form.

If a potential opportunity advances to a formal review process, appropriate confidentiality arrangements and secure information-sharing procedures may be established separately.

Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, maintain appropriate business and transaction records, comply with legal and contractual obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect our legitimate interests.

The applicable retention period may depend on:

  • The nature and sensitivity of the information
  • The purpose for which the information was collected
  • Whether a business relationship or transaction remains active
  • Applicable legal, tax, accounting, regulatory, or contractual requirements
  • The need to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims
  • Technical and operational requirements

When information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, anonymize, aggregate, or securely dispose of it in accordance with our procedures and applicable law.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

These safeguards may include access controls, secured systems, password protections, network security measures, vendor oversight, and limitations on employee or contractor access to information.

No website, electronic communication, database, or information system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should use care when transmitting information electronically and avoid sending highly sensitive information through unsecured channels.

Your Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on where you reside and subject to applicable law, you may have the right to request that we:

  • Confirm whether we process personal information about you
  • Provide access to certain personal information we maintain about you
  • Correct inaccurate personal information
  • Delete certain personal information
  • Provide a portable copy of certain personal information
  • Limit or object to certain uses of personal information
  • Opt out of certain forms of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising, if applicable
  • Provide information about categories of personal information collected, used, or disclosed
  • Appeal a decision concerning a privacy request, where applicable

These rights are not absolute. A request may be denied or limited when an exception applies, such as when information must be retained to comply with law, complete a transaction, maintain business records, protect security, prevent fraud, or establish or defend legal claims.

To submit a privacy request, contact us using the information provided at the end of this policy. Please clearly describe your request and provide sufficient information for us to identify the records involved.

We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before fulfilling a request. Verification helps protect personal information from unauthorized access or deletion.

Where permitted by law, an authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf. We may require evidence that the agent is authorized to act for you and may ask you to verify your identity directly.

We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right provided by applicable law.

Email and Marketing Communications

We maintain a no-spam policy and do not intend to send unsolicited bulk commercial email.

We may contact you to respond to an inquiry, continue a business discussion, provide requested information, communicate about a potential transaction, or maintain a professional relationship.

When legally required, marketing communications will include a method for opting out. You may also ask us to stop sending marketing communications by contacting us directly.

Even after you opt out of marketing communications, we may continue to send non-promotional messages relating to an existing business relationship, pending transaction, legal notice, security issue, or request you submitted.

The website may contain links to portfolio companies, affiliated entities, news sources, social media platforms, professional service providers, or other third-party websites.

Dobbs Equity Partners does not control and is not responsible for the content, security, availability, or privacy practices of third-party websites. A link does not necessarily constitute an endorsement of the third party or its privacy practices.

You should review the privacy policy and terms of use of each third-party website you visit.

Children's Privacy

This website is intended for business and professional audiences and is not directed to children under 13 years of age.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 through this website. If we learn that a child under 13 has provided personal information to us without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

Visitors from Outside the United States

Dobbs Equity Partners is based in the United States. If you access the website or provide information from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, processed, and stored in the United States or another jurisdiction where our service providers operate.

Privacy and data protection laws in those jurisdictions may differ from the laws in your country of residence.
