Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

OwnerBridge is a confidential succession and investor introduction platform for European SME owners. We operate as an introduction service, not a brokerage or regulated financial advisor.

For questions about this policy or your personal data, contact us at: info@ownerbridge.eu

2. What data we collect

When you submit the succession introduction form, we collect:

• Full name
• Email address
• Phone number
• Business website URL
• Preferred meeting date and time

We also collect standard web analytics data (page views, session duration, referral source) through privacy-respecting analytics tools. We do not use Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel.

3. How we use your data

We use your information solely to:

• Schedule and conduct an introduction call with you
• Determine whether OwnerBridge is a suitable fit for your succession goals
• Communicate with you about your enquiry

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. Your data is never shared with investors or any other party without your explicit, documented consent.

4. Legal basis for processing (GDPR)

We process your personal data on the basis of legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR), specifically to respond to your enquiry, and, where you have given it, your explicit consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) for any follow-up communication.

5. Data retention

We retain your personal data for a maximum of 24 months after your last interaction with us, unless you request deletion sooner or we are required by law to retain it longer.

6. Your rights

Under GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access: request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Rectification: ask us to correct inaccurate data
• Erasure: request deletion of your personal data
• Portability: receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
• Objection: object to processing based on legitimate interest
• Restriction: request that we restrict processing of your data

To exercise any of these rights, email info@ownerbridge.eu. We will respond within 30 days.

7. Data security

All data is transmitted over encrypted HTTPS connections. Form submissions are stored in a secure database with access restricted to authorised OwnerBridge team members only. We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure.

8. Cookies

OwnerBridge uses strictly necessary cookies only (session management and security). We do not use advertising, tracking, or analytics cookies that require consent under ePrivacy rules.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

10. Contact and complaints

If you have concerns about how we handle your data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority. In the Netherlands, this is the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.
