Privacy & Confidentiality
Your trust matters.
Buell Advisory is built on real conversation and real relationships. That only works when you feel safe sharing what you are working through. This page explains how your information is used and protected.
Confidentiality first
Every conversation with Buell Advisory is treated as confidential. Whether you are exploring a first business purchase, thinking through a transition, or sharing details about your company, the information you provide is handled with care and discretion. It is not shared, sold, or used for any purpose beyond supporting your inquiry.
What information I collect
When you reach out through the contact form or schedule a conversation, I may collect your name, email address, phone number, and a brief description of your situation or interests. This is the minimum information needed to respond thoughtfully and arrange a follow-up.
How your information is used
Information you share is used solely to respond to your message, prepare for a conversation, and provide relevant guidance. It helps me understand where you are in your journey so our time together is focused and useful. I do not use your information for marketing lists, automated campaigns, or unrelated outreach.
How your information is protected
Communications are stored and transmitted using secure, modern tools and services. Access is limited to Doug Buell and, where strictly necessary, trusted service providers who support the website and email systems. I take reasonable precautions to keep your information safe, but as with any online communication, no system can guarantee absolute security.
Sharing and disclosure
I do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. I will only share information with third parties if required by law, to protect rights or safety, or if you have given explicit permission for a specific introduction or referral.
Retention
I retain contact information and conversation notes only as long as they are useful for our ongoing relationship or as required for legal and business purposes. If you would like your information removed, you may request it at any time.
Your choices
You are free to share as much or as little as you are comfortable with. You may also ask questions about privacy at any time, request updates to your information, or ask that your details be deleted.
