California Consumer Privacy Rights: Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

Statutory Notice for California Residents Accessing the Platform

Our Data Integrity Commitment: Absolute Institutional Protection

Cortland Business Brokers operates strictly as a specialized lower-middle-market mergers and acquisitions advisory firm. The firm is not a public data broker, commercial list vendor, or open-market consumer lead aggregator. In alignment with our institutional operational models, we do not sell, rent, trade, lease, or distribute private corporate structures, sensitive financial metrics, tax filings, Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE) normalization sheets, or personal contact identifiers to third-party marketing networks, commercial databases, or external corporate entities for monetary profit or cross-contextual marketing gains.

All personal and business data submitted to this platform is collected, processed, and maintained exclusively to support high-integrity transactional utility. This includes executing secure, NDA-gated digital data room infrastructure, verifying institutional purchaser proof-of-funds, underwriting accurate business evaluations, and coordinating regulatory deal logistics with certified escrow agents and state authorities. Data security and absolute client discretion are foundational to the brokerage operations managed under our corporate real estate framework.

Your Rights Under the CCPA/CPRA

Pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (collectively, "CCPA/CPRA"), California residents possess clear statutory privileges regarding their personal information. You may exercise these data protections through the following provisions:

• The Right to Opt-Out: You maintain the absolute right to direct our firm to cease any future selling or cross-contextual behavioral sharing of your personal identifiers, online activities, or professional information with third parties.
• The Right to Know & Access: You have the right to request a complete disclosure detailing the specific categories of personal information, corporate identifiers, and financial data parameters that our secure servers have collected, processed, or utilized over the preceding 12 months.
• The Right to Deletion: You possess the right to request the permanent erasure of your personal records from both our physical storage repositories and secure cloud infrastructure. Please be advised that requests for deletion are legally balanced against, and subject to, mandatory California Department of Real Estate (DRE) transaction record retention statutes, which require the secure archiving of transactional data for a period of 3 to 6 years.
• The Right to Correction: You have the right to request the immediate rectification or modification of any inaccurate, incomplete, or out-of-date personal identifiers or commercial entity records maintained within our active databases.

Alternate Verification Methods & Compliance Processing

Verification Protocol

To protect confidential transactions and secure data files against unauthorized access, Cortland Business Brokers enforces a strict multi-tier identity verification process. Upon receipt of a consumer request form, our compliance operations team will cross-reference the submitted data against our existing secure transaction logs, executed Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), and verified listing inquiries. The firm will require confirmation from the secure email address or phone number associated with the file before any proprietary data fields are modified, disclosed, or expunged.
