Privacy Policy

Effective Date: February 20, 2026
Last Updated: February 28, 2026

 

1) Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how Ridger Global (“we,” “us,” “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards information when you visit ridgerglobal.com (the “Site”), interact with our content, or communicate with us.

This Policy also explains the privacy rights and choices available to you, including rights provided under California privacy law (CCPA/CPRA) and similar U.S. state privacy laws, as well as transparency expectations for visitors in the United Kingdom / EU. (California AG)

 


2) Information we collect

We may collect the following categories of information (depending on how you use the Site):

A. Identifiers & contact data

  • Name, email address, phone number, company name, title
  • Any information you submit through contact forms, newsletter forms, or inquiry requests

B. Internet / device & usage data

  • IP address, device type, browser type, operating system
  • Pages viewed, clicks, referring/exit pages, approximate location derived from IP
  • Session data and timestamps

C. Communications

  • Content of messages you send us (including attachments), meeting requests, and related correspondence

D. Professional / business information

  • Information relevant to investment banking and advisory engagement discussions (e.g., company profile, transaction objectives) that you voluntarily provide

Sensitive data: We do not intentionally collect “sensitive personal information” as defined by certain state laws via the Site. If you submit sensitive information, you do so voluntarily and at your discretion.

 



3) Sources of information

We collect information from:

  •  • You directly (when you submit forms, request information, or contact us)
  •  • Automatically (via cookies and similar technologies when you browse the Site)
  •  • Service providers that support Site operations (e.g., hosting, security, analytics, form delivery)



4) How we use information (business purposes)

We use information to:

  • Operate, secure, and maintain the Site
  • Respond to inquiries, schedule calls, and provide requested information
  • Evaluate and manage relationships, including prospective client and investor communications
  • Improve Site performance, content, and user experience
  • Detect, prevent, and investigate fraud, abuse, and security incidents
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms

For EU/UK visitors where applicable, these purposes map to typical lawful bases such as contract necessity (pre-contract steps), legitimate interests, consent (where required), and legal obligation. (GDPR)

 


5) Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies for functionality, security, and (if enabled) analytics and marketing measurement. For full cookie details and preference controls, see our Cookie Policy:

  • Cookie Policy: http://ridgerglobal.com/cookie-policy/



6) How we disclose information

We may disclose information to:

  •  • Service providers / vendors that help run the Site and our operations (e.g., hosting, security, analytics, CRM, email delivery), under contractual confidentiality and data protection terms
  •  • Professional advisors (legal, accounting, compliance) as needed
  •  • Authorities / regulators if required by law or to protect rights, safety, and integrity
  •  • Transaction counterparties only where relevant to a potential engagement and consistent with confidentiality expectations (and, where applicable, NDA coverage)

We do not disclose personal information to third parties for their independent marketing purposes without your direction.
 


7) “Sale” / “Share” of personal information (California)

Under the CCPA/CPRA, “sell” and “share” have specific legal meanings and can include certain forms of cross-context behavioral advertising. (Yes on Prop 24)

 • Position (default): Ridger Grlobal does not sell personal information in the conventional sense.
 • Advertising/measurement note: If the Site uses third-party advertising or measurement tools, certain data flows may be characterized as “sharing” under CPRA depending on configuration.

 • Your opt-out rights: California residents may opt out of “sale” or “sharing,” including via a user-enabled Global Privacy Control signal where applicable. (California AG)

  • Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information: http://ridgerglobal.com/opt-out-preferences/
  • Global Privacy Control (GPC): If enabled on your browser, we will treat it as an opt-out request where required. (California AG)



8) Your privacy rights & requests

A) California (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you may have the right to:

  • Know/access the personal information we collect, use, and disclose
  • Request deletion of personal information (subject to exceptions)
  • Correct inaccurate personal information
  • Opt out of sale/sharing (if applicable)
  • Limit use/disclosure of sensitive personal information (if applicable)
  • Not be discriminated against for exercising your rights (California AG)

B) Other U.S. states

Depending on where you live, you may have similar rights under other state privacy laws (e.g., access, deletion, correction, opt-out of targeted advertising, and appeal of denial). States such as Virginia require controllers to provide a clear privacy notice and request mechanisms. (Virginia Law)

C) EU/UK transparency (where applicable)

EU/UK visitors have rights such as access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, and data portability, subject to conditions and exemptions. (GDPR)

 


9) How to submit a request

Submit privacy requests using one of the methods below:

  • Email: info@ridgerglobal.com
  • Request form: http://ridgerglobal.com/opt-out-preferences

We will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests. You may also use an authorized agent where permitted by law; we may require proof of authorization.

Appeals (if applicable): If we deny your request, you may appeal by contacting us at the email above and stating “Privacy Request Appeal” in the subject line.

 


10) Data retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

  • Provide the requested services or information
  • Maintain business records, manage relationships, and support compliance
  • Resolve disputes and enforce agreements

Retention periods vary depending on the data type, purpose, and legal requirements. (GDPR)

 


11) Security

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

 


12) International transfers

If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information may be processed and stored in the U.S. and other jurisdictions where we or our service providers operate. Where applicable for EU/UK visitors, we implement appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers. (GDPR)

 


13) Third-party links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties. Please review their privacy notices.

 


14) Children

The Site is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. (If your business has reason to interact with minors, confirm you have appropriate controls in place.)
