Privacy and Cookie Notice
Effective date: September 15, 2026
Who We Are
Stonemill Partners is an M&A advisory firm specializing exclusively in the AEC sector. This Privacy and Cookie Notice explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit stonemillpartners.com, submit information through our website, view our reports, or interact with links in our business communications.
Information We Collect
We may collect information you provide directly, including your name, company, email address, telephone number, and the contents of messages or forms you submit.
We may also collect technical and activity information, including the page URL, referring URL, timestamps, UTM and campaign parameters, browser and device information, IP address, approximate location derived from an IP address, cookie or similar identifiers, pages viewed, session activity, report engagement, and interactions with advertising or outreach links.
Some business-intelligence services may use technical and business network signals to infer the company or organization associated with a visit. This is company-level identification and does not establish that a specific named person visited the site.
How We Use Information
- Operate, secure, maintain, and improve the website.
- Respond to inquiries and provide requested information.
- Measure website, report, and campaign engagement.
- Identify business organizations showing interest in Stonemill content or services.
- Maintain business relationships and activity records in our customer relationship management systems.
- Personalize business communications and evaluate advertising performance.
- Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights, systems, and users.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies, pixels, scripts, and similar technologies. These generally fall into three categories:
- Essential: needed for security, site operation, form protection, and consent preferences.
- Analytics: used to understand visits, traffic sources, page activity, and site performance.
- Marketing: used to measure advertising and business outreach activity and to support relevant business communications.
Our consent tool uses a United States opt-out framework by default and applies available state-specific choices. You can review or change your choices through our Opt-out preferences page. We also honor supported Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals. You may also use your browser settings to limit or delete cookies.
Business Visitor Identification and Outreach Attribution
We use ZoomInfo WebSights to help identify companies that visit selected pages. ZoomInfo may infer a visiting company from business network and technical signals and may provide company information such as industry, employee range, revenue range, office location, and visit activity.
We may also use unique links in business outreach to associate a report request or website visit with the intended recipient of that link. This provides deterministic attribution to the intended recipient, but it is not absolute proof of who physically clicked the link. If a link is forwarded, the activity may remain associated with the original intended recipient.
Services We Use
Our current website and business-intelligence stack may include:
- ZoomInfo WebSights for company-level website visitor identification and business intent signals.
- Salesforce and Salesforce Account Engagement for customer relationship management, business activity records, and campaign measurement.
- HubSpot for forms, chat, website interaction, and marketing functions.
- Google Analytics and Google Ads for site analytics, traffic measurement, and advertising performance.
- LinkedIn Insight Tag for advertising measurement and audience insights.
- Stonemill first-party report attribution for measuring engagement with reports and unique outreach links.
These providers may process information under their own privacy notices and contractual terms. Their services may involve processing in the United States or other countries.
How We Share Information
We may share information with service providers that support website hosting, security, analytics, advertising measurement, forms, business intelligence, email, and customer relationship management. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights or safety, or in connection with a corporate transaction. We do not disclose personal information except for legitimate business, operational, legal, or transaction purposes.
Your Choices and Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or a copy of personal information, and to opt out of certain uses or disclosures for targeted advertising or similar purposes. These rights are subject to applicable law and exceptions.
Use our Opt-out preferences page to manage available website choices. To submit another privacy request, contact us through our Contact page. We may need to verify your request before acting on it.
Data Retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Notice, including website operations, security, business relationship management, legal obligations, dispute resolution, and enforcement of agreements. Retention periods vary based on the type of information and the reason it was collected.
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children
This website is intended for business audiences and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through this website.
Updates to This Notice
We may update this Notice as our practices, services, or legal obligations change. The effective date above shows when this version became effective.
