Privacy Policy

Information we collect

We collect only the information necessary to respond to your inquiry and operate the site.

​

Information you provide. When you submit the contact form, we collect your name, company, email address, the inquiry type you select, and the content of your message. If you reach our deal team directly via email, we collect whatever you choose to share.

Information collected automatically. We collect standard server log data and aggregate analytics (browser type, device type, referring source, pages visited, approximate geographic region from IP). We do not use third-party advertising trackers or cookies that follow you across other sites.

 

How we use information

We use the information you provide to:
-Respond to your inquiry, including investor, sourcing, press, and general communications
-Maintain internal records of inquiries and follow-up correspondence
-Improve the site and our communications

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. We may share information with our service providers (email infrastructure, document storage, professional advisors) only to the extent necessary to operate.

​

Data retention
We retain inquiry information for as long as reasonably necessary to maintain the business relationship and meet our legal and regulatory obligations.

Your choices
You may request that we delete the information you submitted by emailing privacy@ironstonecap.com. We will respond within thirty days. Note that we may need to retain certain information to meet legal, regulatory, or recordkeeping requirements.

​

Cookies and similar technologies
The Site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (collectively, "cookies") to operate, secure, and improve the Site. A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device. We use cookies in the following categories:

Strictly necessary cookies. Required for the Site to function — including session management, security (CSRF protection), and form submission. These cannot be disabled and do not require consent.

Functional cookies. Remember your preferences such as language and region. Disabling them may degrade your experience on the Site.

Analytics cookies. Help us understand how visitors use the Site in aggregate — pages viewed, time on page, referring source, and approximate geographic region. We use first-party analytics and do not share visitor-level data with third-party advertisers. Analytics cookies are non-essential and you may opt out as described below.

Marketing or advertising cookies. We do not currently use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking technologies on the Site.

How to manage cookies. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, accept cookies, or delete cookies through your browser settings. You may also be able to manage your preferences for non-essential cookies through any cookie consent banner that appears on the Site. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent the Site from functioning properly.

For more information about cookies generally, including how to disable them in your browser, see allaboutcookies.org.

Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we collect. No method of transmission over the internet is one hundred percent secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children
The site is not directed to individuals under eighteen. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under eighteen.
