This policy explains what information we collect through **restaurantdealbrokers.com** and our related forms and services, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. Confidentiality is central to how we work — both for restaurant sellers and buyers — and we handle your information accordingly. ## Information we collect We collect information you provide directly and information collected automatically as you use the site. - **Information you give us** — your name, email, phone number, and any details you submit through our forms, including free valuation requests, seller registration, buyer registration, contact requests, and scheduling a call. If you inquire about buying or selling a restaurant, this may include business and financial details you choose to share. - **Information collected automatically** — IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, referring pages, and similar analytics data, collected through cookies and comparable technologies. ## How we use your information - Respond to your inquiries and provide brokerage services, including restaurant valuations and buyer/seller matching. - Communicate with you about your request, listings, and relevant updates you've asked to receive. - Operate, maintain, and improve our website and services. - Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights. ## Cookies and analytics We use cookies and similar technologies to run the site, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use our pages. Our website and CRM are powered by **HubSpot**, and we may use analytics tools such as Google Analytics. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect how the site functions. ## How we share information **We do not sell your personal information.** We share it only as needed to run our business: - **Service providers** — such as HubSpot (CRM, forms, email) and analytics or scheduling tools, who process data on our behalf under confidentiality obligations. - **Our brokerage** — services are provided by Jim Pate under Santa Rosa Business & Commercial (CA DRE #01789190), and information may be shared as needed to facilitate a transaction. - **Qualified parties in a transaction** — only with your involvement and, where appropriate, after a non-disclosure agreement is in place. Confidential business and financial details are never shared publicly. - **Legal and safety** — when required by law, to enforce our rights, or to protect against fraud or harm. ## Confidentiality of restaurant sales If you are considering selling your restaurant, we treat that information as confidential. We market businesses on a "blind" basis and require prospective buyers to sign a non-disclosure agreement before receiving identifying details or financials. ## Data retention We keep personal information for as long as needed to provide our services and communicate with you. **If we complete the sale of your business, we and our supervising brokerage retain the associated transaction records for a minimum of three years, as required of licensed California real estate brokers. Santa Rosa Business & Commercial's practice is to retain these records for up to five years.** After the applicable retention period, we delete or de-identify the information. ## Your choices - **Email** — you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in our emails, or by contacting us. - **Cookies** — you can manage or disable cookies in your browser. - **Access and updates** — you may ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you. ## California privacy rights If you are a California resident, you may have the right to request access to the categories and specific pieces of personal information we've collected, request deletion, and request correction, and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. We do not sell personal information. To make a request, contact us using the details below. ## Third-party links Our site may link to third-party websites (for example, business-for-sale marketplaces or scheduling tools). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites; please review their policies. ## Children's privacy Our services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. ## Security We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. ## Changes to this policy We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the effective date above. Material changes will be posted on this page. ## Contact us If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or your information, contact us: Restaurant Deal Brokers **Jim Pate** — Certified Business Broker (CBB) · CA DRE #02067466 [jim@restaurantdealbrokers.com](mailto:jim@restaurantdealbrokers.com) · [(916) 250-2012](tel:+19162502012) 1401 21st Street, Suite 7104, Sacramento, CA 95811 Brokered by Santa Rosa Business & Commercial · CA DRE #01789190 This Privacy Policy is provided for general informational purposes and is not legal advice.
