Welcome to the Bison Partners web site. Bison Partners provides
this web site to you subject to the following Privacy Statement.
If you visit the Bison Partners site, you agree to abide by
these policies. Please read them carefully.
Bison Partners reserves the right to make changes to this
site and to modify our Privacy Statement at any time. You
should review these policies frequently for any changes, because
they are binding on you.
Privacy Statement
Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Statement describes
the guidelines Bison Partners uses for protecting information
you provide to us during your visit to our site, subject to
the provisions contained in our “Terms of Use”.
The Information We Collect and How We Use It
Certain information is automatically collected when you visit
our site. You may have read about “cookies,” nuggets
of information that are placed by a web site in a storage
place on your own computer. The types of information we collect
with cookies include the name of your internet service provider,
the web site that referred you to us (if any), the date and
time our site was accessed, the page or pages you visited,
and your IP address. Our cookies do not contain information
that is, in itself, personally identifying.
In order for you to access certain portions of our site,
we require you to provide us with certain information, including
information that personally identifies you (e.g. your name
and address) and certain financial and demographic information
about you (e.g. the basis on which you qualify as an accredited
investor).
We receive and may store any information you enter on our
site or give us in any other way. For example, if you send
us an email or fill out a form, you are transmitting the information
that you include in the email or form. You never transmit
any personally identifying information that you do not enter
yourself. The information we collect may be used for several
purposes, including, for example, to send you information
about other services that we may offer from time to time,
to improve the content of our site, to track activity on our
site, to assist us in developing new services, or to respond
to inquiries.
We may request that you provide us with opinions regarding
the companies listed on our site; we may share these opinions
with such companies on a confidential basis. We may also allow
access to our database by third parties that provide us with
services only to the extent necessary to receive services,
but will do so only on a confidential, no name basis. There
may also be occasions when we are legally required to provide
access to our database in order to cooperate with investigations
or other legal proceedings. In those instances, the information
is provided only for that purpose.
While your individual information is protected as outlined
above, we reserve the right to use aggregated, anonymous data
about our visitors as a group for any business purpose, including,
without limitation, analyzing usage trends.
Except as noted above, Bison Partners will not intentionally
share the contents of any email feedback or questions with
any third party. However, due to the nature of electronic
communications, we cannot and do not provide any assurances
that the contents of your email will not become known or accessible
to third parties. Please refer to our “Terms of Use”
concerning additional policies relating to emails.
Other than as outlined above, Bison Partners will not sell,
trade or rent any personally identifying information we may
collect on this web site to any third party without your permission.
Web Site Links
From time to time, we may provide additional links on our
web site to resources you may find useful. These links will
lead you to sites governed by different privacy policies.
We wish to caution our visitors that they must take the responsibility
for visiting the other web sites’ privacy policies,
as we have no control over information that is submitted to
those sites. Please refer to our “Terms of Use”
for additional information concerning links to other web sites.
