Privacy Policy

Introduction

Eterna Companies (“Eterna,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a permanent-capital firm that acquires and partners with essential industrial services companies. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through eternacompanies.com (the “Site”), how we use and share it, and the choices available to you.

If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your information, contact us at tom@eternacompanies.com.

Information We Collect

We only collect information that you voluntarily submit to us. When you complete our contact form, we ask for:

• Your name
• Your email address
• Your phone number
• Your company name
• Your message
• How you heard about us

Aside from what you choose to enter into this form, the Site does not otherwise ask visitors to create an account, provide payment information, or submit any other personal information.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information you submit to:

• Respond to your inquiry;
• Evaluate a potential conversation about acquiring or partnering with your company; and
• Communicate with you about next steps in that conversation.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it to advertise or market to you on behalf of third parties.

How Your Information Is Processed and Shared

Our contact form is processed by Formspree, a third-party form-processing service, which securely transmits your submission to our team by email. Formspree acts as a data processor on our behalf and maintains its own privacy and security practices.

We may also share your information with advisors and service providers — such as legal, financial, or diligence advisors — who assist us in evaluating a potential transaction and who are bound by confidentiality obligations. Beyond these limited disclosures, we do not sell, rent, or trade your information to third parties.

Confidentiality

We understand that reaching out to us may be one of the most significant conversations a business owner has. Every inquiry, and any acquisition discussion that follows, is treated as confidential. Information you share with us is used solely to evaluate and pursue a potential relationship with you — it is not disclosed publicly or shared outside our team and the advisors described above.

Data Retention

We retain the information you submit for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry, pursue a potential relationship, and satisfy our legal and business record-keeping obligations. If no relationship develops, we keep your information only as long as reasonably necessary before it is deleted or archived.

Cookies and Analytics

The Site does not use advertising or third-party tracking cookies, and it does not currently run analytics software. Any cookies in use are limited to those strictly necessary for the Site to function.

Your Choices and Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information you have submitted to us at any time by emailing tom@eternacompanies.com. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under applicable law — for example, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) or the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) — including the right to know what information we hold about you and to request its deletion. We will respond to any request within a reasonable time.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. The “Effective date” above indicates when this policy was last revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
