Privacy Policy

BusinessLocating.com ("BusinessLocating," "we," "us," or "our") operates an AI-powered, off-market acquisition marketplace for service-based businesses in the United States. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and share it, and the choices you have. It applies to our website, member portal, communications, and related services (collectively, the "Services").

a. Information you provide

• Account and profile details (name, email, phone, company, role).
• Buyer qualification information (acquisition criteria, capital range, target geographies, BuyBox details).
• Seller intake information (business category, location, revenue, EBITDA, operations, owner involvement).
• Communications you send to us, including concierge calls, emails, and uploaded documents.
• Payment and billing details processed by our payment providers (we do not store full card numbers).

b. Information collected automatically

• Device, browser, IP address, and approximate location.
• Usage data (pages viewed, listings opened, search queries, click patterns).
• Cookies, pixels, and similar technologies used for authentication, analytics, and product improvement.

c. Information from third parties

• Public business data, licensing records, and industry databases used for sourcing.
• Identity verification, background, and credit-screening providers (for qualified buyers).
• Referral partners, brokers, and operator networks that introduce buyers or sellers.

• Operate, secure, and improve the Services.
• Match buyers and sellers using our AI and concierge workflows.
• Qualify members and confirm acquisition readiness.
• Facilitate introductions, NDAs, diligence requests, and deal communications.
• Send transactional, product, and (with consent) marketing communications.
• Detect fraud, enforce our Terms, and comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell personal information. We share information only as follows:

• With counterparties after mutual interest and, where applicable, an executed NDA.
• With service providers (hosting, analytics, communications, KYC, payments) under contract.
• With professional advisors such as attorneys, accountants, and lenders involved in a transaction.
• For legal reasons when required by law, subpoena, or to protect rights, safety, and property.
• In a business transfer such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Seller information is treated as confidential. Identifying details are released only to vetted buyers who have qualified, executed an NDA, and demonstrated alignment with the seller's criteria. Misuse of confidential information may result in account termination and legal action.

We use essential cookies for authentication and security, and analytics cookies to understand usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may limit functionality.

We retain information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Deal records are retained for audit and compliance purposes.

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards including encryption in transit, access controls, and least-privilege practices. No system is 100% secure; you use the Services at your own risk.

• Access, correct, or delete certain personal information.
• Opt out of marketing emails using the unsubscribe link.
• Request a copy of information you've provided to us.
• Residents of California, Virginia, Colorado, and other states with privacy laws may have additional rights, including the right to opt out of certain data sharing.
