Privacy Policy

Brad Van Amberg, a broker operating in affiliation with Cardin Business Brokers LLC ("we," "us," or "our"), respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you provide to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we protect it, and the choices available to you when you use our website and services.

Information We Collect

We collect information that you provide directly to us and information that is generated automatically when you use our website.

Information you provide:

• Contact details such as your name, email address, mobile or telephone number, and mailing address.
• Information about your business that you submit when requesting a valuation or consultation, such as company name, location, and financial or operational details.
• Any message content or correspondence you send to us.

Information collected automatically:

• Technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, and pages viewed.
• Usage information collected through cookies and similar technologies, as described below.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiries and valuation requests and provide the brokerage, advisory, and related services you request.
• Communicate with you about your account, appointments, and the status of any engagement.
• Send you service-related messages, including text messages where you have opted in.
• Operate, maintain, secure, and improve our website and services.
• Comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations.

SMS / Text Messaging

Brad Van Amberg offers SMS (text message) communications to individuals who voluntarily opt in to receive them. By providing your mobile number and opting in, you consent to receive text messages from us related to appointment scheduling, valuation and consultation requests, service updates, and account communications.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. Information sharing to subcontractors in support services, such as customer service, is permitted. All other use case categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply for messages sent to you from us and to us from you. For questions about your text plan or data plan, contact your wireless provider.

You can cancel the SMS service at any time. Simply text "STOP" to the number from which you received messages. Upon sending "STOP," we will confirm your unsubscribe status via SMS, after which you will no longer receive SMS messages from us. To rejoin, sign up again as you did initially, and we will resume sending SMS messages to you.

If you experience any issues with the messaging program, reply with the keyword HELP for assistance, or contact us directly at Brad@cardinbusinessbrokers.com.

Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

How We Disclose Information

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not disclose your personal information for the marketing or promotional purposes of unrelated organizations.

We may disclose information to service providers and subcontractors who perform support functions on our behalf — such as customer service, communications delivery, and technology hosting — and who are obligated to protect your information and use it only to perform those functions for us.

We may also disclose information when required to do so by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or where necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Brad Van Amberg, our clients, or others.

All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties, excluding aggregators and providers of the Text Message services.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, to provide our services, and to comply with our legal, accounting, and reporting obligations. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it.
