1. Introduction

ABR Brokerage ("ABR," "we," "us," or "our") operates the website located at abrbrokerage.com (the "Site"). ABR Brokerage is a boutique business brokerage powered by Commercial Acquisitions Inc., a New York State corporation with its principal place of business in Brooklyn, New York.

We provide business brokerage and intermediary services, including the marketing and sale of privately held businesses, buyer representation, business valuation, and related advisory services (collectively, the "Services").

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use and share it, and the choices available to you. It applies to information collected through the Site, through our email and telephone communications, and in the course of providing our Services.

Because our business involves the sale of privately held companies, confidentiality is central to what we do. Section 6 describes the specific confidentiality practices that apply to seller and buyer information.

​

2. Scope and Consent

By accessing the Site or submitting information to us, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our practices, please do not use the Site or submit information to us.

This Policy does not apply to third-party websites, listing platforms, or services that we link to or that link to us. Those services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them.

​

3. Information We Collect

We collect information you voluntarily give us, including when you complete a contact or inquiry form, register as a prospective buyer, sign a confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement, request a business valuation, list a business for sale, subscribe to updates, or communicate with us by email, phone, or text.

Depending on the interaction, this may include:

• Contact and identity information: name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, company name, and job title.

• Buyer qualification information: investment criteria, industries and geographies of interest, target transaction size, acquisition timeline, background and experience, source of funds, proof of funds documentation, net worth or liquidity statements, and financing preapprovals.

• Seller and business information: business financial statements, tax returns, profit and loss statements, balance sheets, lease and vendor agreements, customer and supplier information, payroll and employee census data, asset lists, and other materials relevant to valuing or marketing a business.

• Transaction information: correspondence, offers, letters of intent, due diligence materials, and closing documentation.

• Marketing preferences: your communication and subscription choices.

If you provide us with information about another person — for example, a business partner, spouse, co-investor, or employee — you represent that you have the authority to do so.

​

4. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to inquiries and provide the Services

• Qualify prospective buyers and match them to appropriate opportunities

• Prepare business valuations, confidential information memoranda, and marketing materials

• Facilitate introductions, negotiations, due diligence, and closings between buyers and sellers

• Administer confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements

• Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site

• Send transactional communications, listing alerts, newsletters, and marketing messages consistent with your preferences and applicable law

• Analyze usage patterns and measure the effectiveness of our marketing

• Detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, unauthorized access, or other unlawful activity

• Comply with legal, regulatory, licensing, tax, and recordkeeping obligations, and to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims

​

5. Legal Bases for Processing

Where required by applicable law, we process personal information on the following bases: performance of a contract or steps taken at your request prior to entering a contract; our legitimate interests in operating and marketing our brokerage business, subject to your rights; compliance with a legal obligation; and your consent, where consent is required and has been given.

​

6. Confidentiality of Business Listings and Transaction Information

Confidentiality is a core obligation of our business.

Seller information. We do not publicly disclose the identity of a business we have been engaged to sell without the seller's authorization. Listings are marketed on a blind or anonymized basis. Detailed financial and operational information about a listed business is disclosed only to prospective buyers who have executed a confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement and, in our judgment, have demonstrated adequate qualification and interest.

Buyer information. Information you provide as a prospective buyer — including financial capacity, acquisition criteria, and identity — may be shared with the seller of a business you have expressed interest in, and with that seller's professional advisors, for the purpose of evaluating your inquiry. Sellers and their advisors are generally subject to their own confidentiality obligations, but we do not control their conduct.

Limits. Confidentiality obligations do not prevent disclosure where required by law, court order, subpoena, or regulatory authority, or where necessary to establish or defend a legal claim.

​

7. How We Share Information​

We share personal information in the following circumstances:

• With counterparties to a transaction. As described in Section 6, and subject to applicable confidentiality agreements.

• With professional advisors. Attorneys, accountants, escrow agents, title companies, lenders, insurance brokers, and other advisors involved in a transaction.

• With co-brokers and affiliates. Including Commercial Acquisitions Inc. and cooperating brokers where a transaction involves shared representation.

• In connection with a corporate transaction. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

• For legal reasons. To comply with applicable law, respond to lawful requests from public authorities, enforce our agreements, or protect the rights, property, or safety of ABR Brokerage, our clients, or others.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not disclose it to third parties for their own marketing or advertising purposes.

​

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, including for the duration of an engagement and afterward as required to meet legal, tax, regulatory, licensing, insurance, and recordkeeping obligations, and to resolve disputes. 

​

11. Data Security

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction, consistent with the New York Stop Hacks and Improve Electronic Data Security (SHIELD) Act. 

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please do not send sensitive financial documents by unencrypted email; we will provide a secure method for exchanging transaction materials.

In the event of a breach of private information as defined under New York law, we will provide notice to affected individuals and to the appropriate authorities as required.

You may also opt out of marketing communications at any time. We may decline a request where we are required or permitted by law to retain the information — for example, records related to a completed transaction.

​

13. Third-Party Links and Platforms

​

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, including business-for-sale marketplaces, lender portals, and social media platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. Information you submit directly to a third-party listing platform is governed by that platform's privacy policy.

​

14. Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
