Privacy & Confidentiality Policy
Our Commitment to Your Privacy.
Information about out clients is fundamental to our core business activities. Consequently, all information obtained from clients and prospective clients is strictly confidential. Middle South provides the same standard of care, confidentiality and non-disclosure it requires from potential buyers considering the purchase of one of Middle South's businesses for sale. In this connection, we (i) provide an equivalent confidentiality agreement to our clients and (ii) require virtually identical confidentiality agreement from prospective purchasers. (Click here for a copy of Middle South's non-disclosure agreement to clients).
Our services are first and foremost confidential, so Middle South's Privacy Policy was developed as an extension of our commitment to combine the highest-quality services with the highest level of integrity and confidentiality in dealing with our clients and partners. This policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect, use and safeguard the personal information you provide to us and to assist you in making informed decisions when using our services and web site. This policy will be continuously assessed against new technologies, business practices and our customers' needs.
Middle South does not disclose confidential information unless required by order of a court or governmental agency of proper jurisdiction. What Information do we collect on our web site? When you visit our web site you may provide us with two types of information: (A) personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on an individual basis, and (B) web site usage information collected on an aggregate, non-individual basis as you and others browse our site. A. Personal Information You Choose to Provide Personal information you may choose to provide through our various contact pages includes:
Email Information If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the content of your email messages together with your email address and our responses. We provide the same protections for these electronic communications that we employ in the maintenance of information received by mail and telephone. B. Web Site Usage Information Similar to most commercial web sites, our web site may utilize a standard technology called "cookies" (see "What Are Cookies?" below) and web server logs to collect information about how our web site is used. Information gathered through cookies and web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our web site, and the web sites visited just before and just after our web site. This information is collected on an aggregate basis. None of this information is associated with you as an individual. Is Any Information Used? Broadly speaking, the information provided by clients and prospective clients is used for purposes of administering our business activities with such individuals. If you have elected to receive periodic information on upcoming seminars or other information, we may also use the information you provided to notify you of such events. The lists used to send you information about us are developed and managed under our traditional corporate standards designed to safeguard the security and privacy of our customers’ information. If you previously indicated your wish to receive communications from us and subsequently elect not to receive any information, we do not continue to attempt to contact you. Further, the ability for you to cancel receipt of any future communications will generally be provided on all email communications. In addition, you may contact us at anytime at info@middlesouthventures.com to be deleted from any mailing list. Cookies are a feature of web browser software that allows web servers to recognize the computer used to access a web site. Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored by a user’s web browser on the user’s hard drive. Cookies can remember what information a user accesses on one web page to simplify subsequent interactions with that web site by the same user or to use the information to streamline the user’s transactions on related web pages. This makes it easier for a user to move from web page to web page and to complete commercial transactions over the Internet. Cookies should make your online experience easier and more personalized. How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies? To the extent that either Middle South or any web service provider utilizes cookies to gather information about our web users’ browsing activities, such information will only be used to improve our web site and better serve our site visitors. Such information would assist us in designing and arranging our web pages in the most user-friendly manner and to continually improve our web site to better meet the needs of our customers and prospective customers. Cookies are sometimes used to collect business and technical statistics. We do not use these technologies to capture any information. Also, even though cookies would permit us to send focused online banner advertisements or other such responses to you, we do not engage in such practices. How Do We Protect Your Information? Periodically, our operations and business practices are reviewed for compliance with corporate policies and procedures governing the security, confidentiality and quality of our information. Our corporate values, ethical standards, policies and practices are committed to the protection of customer information. In general, our business practices limit employee access to confidential information, and limit the use and disclosure of such information to authorized persons, processes and transactions. Do We Disclose Information to Outside Parties? We may provide aggregate, generic, summarized information about our web site traffic patterns and related web site only information to our affiliates or reputable third parties; however, this information will not include any personal information data. What About Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information? We may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in other words, when we, in good faith and our discretion, believe that the law requires it or for the protection of our legal rights. What About Other Web Sites Linked to Our Web Site? We are not responsible for the practices employed by any web sites linked to or from our web site nor the information or content contained therein. All information, conversations, names and address known to Middle South are kept strictly confidential. All information prepared for review or discussion with third-parties is approved in advance by the client. Such information includes summary offering documentation, closing documents and financing documents. Middle South assists its clients in preparing confidentiality and other agreements, but does not provide legal or tax advice. |
