Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:

• Contact information, such as your name, email address, phone number, company name, and other details you choose to submit through forms or direct communication.
• Business inquiry information, such as whether you are interested in buying, selling, or valuing a business, and related details you submit through our forms.
• LinkedIn authorization information, if you authorize a LinkedIn app or integration connected to FCBB Atlanta Metro. This may include basic profile identifiers, your LinkedIn member ID, profile name, profile image, and the permissions required to publish or manage content you approve.
• Technical information, such as browser type, IP address, device information, referrer information, and basic hosting or platform logs collected automatically when you visit the site.

2. How We Use Information

We use information we collect to:

• respond to inquiries and provide requested brokerage, valuation, or consultation services,
• follow up with prospective buyers, sellers, referral partners, and other contacts,
• operate, maintain, and improve our website and service experience,
• support authorized LinkedIn publishing, authentication, and related business workflows,
• protect our business, users, and systems, and
• comply with applicable legal, regulatory, or contractual obligations.

3. LinkedIn Apps and Integrations

If you connect a LinkedIn account to an FCBB Atlanta Metro app or workflow, we use that access only for the business purpose presented at the time of authorization, such as enabling approved publishing or authentication.

We do not sell LinkedIn personal data. We do not use LinkedIn data for unrelated advertising purposes. We limit access to authorized business use and reasonable operational support.

4. How We Share Information

We may share information with trusted service providers that help us operate our website and business, such as website hosting, form handling, email, CRM, automation, or platform integration providers. We may also share information when required by law, to protect rights or safety, or as part of a legitimate business transfer.

We do not sell your personal information.

5. Data Retention and Security

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate our business, provide services, maintain records, resolve disputes, or comply with legal obligations.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and operational safeguards to protect information under our control. No system can guarantee absolute security, but we take practical steps to limit unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse.

6. Cookies and Third-Party Services

Our website may use third-party services or embedded resources, including hosting providers, form processing services, fonts, and platform integrations. Those providers may collect technical data according to their own policies when your browser interacts with them.

If we add analytics, advertising tools, or additional integrations in the future, this policy may be updated to reflect those changes.

7. Your Choices

You may choose not to submit information through our website. You may also contact us to request updates or deletion of information we directly control, subject to legal, recordkeeping, operational, or security requirements.

If you previously authorized a LinkedIn integration and want that access removed, contact us and we will review the request promptly.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our website and services are intended for business owners, buyers, referral partners, and adults engaged in professional services. They are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through this site.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date on this page. Your continued use of the site or related services after changes are posted means the updated policy will apply going forward.
