Effective Date: February 2026. This policy describes how Protocol Logic LLC ("Provider," "we") collects, uses, and protects information from DealKillShot clients ("Client," "you").
1. Information We Collect. We collect the information you provide directly: name, email address, company/firm name, deal parameters (sector, size, jurisdictions), and deal descriptions submitted through our intake form, Risk Scanner tool, or payment process. Payment information (credit card, billing address) is processed and stored by Stripe, Inc. — we do not store payment card details on our servers.
2. How We Use Your Information. We use Client information exclusively to: (a) deliver purchased Reports and services, (b) communicate about active engagements, (c) send regulatory alerts to retainer/subscription clients, and (d) improve our analytical methodology using anonymized, aggregated data. We do not use Client information for advertising, marketing to third parties, or any purpose unrelated to service delivery.
3. Deal Confidentiality. All deal-specific information — including target company names, deal sizes, acquisition structures, and regulatory concerns — is treated as strictly confidential. We will never disclose deal details to any third party, including other clients, without your explicit written consent. This obligation survives termination of any engagement.
4. Information Sharing. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal or deal information. We share information only with: (a) Stripe, Inc. for payment processing, (b) Calendly for appointment scheduling (if you book a call), and (c) as required by law, regulation, or valid legal process.
5. Data Retention. We retain Client information and delivered Reports for 24 months following the last engagement, after which data is securely deleted. Clients may request earlier deletion by emailing [email protected]. Anonymized analytical data (sector trends, risk patterns) may be retained indefinitely.
6. Data Security. We use industry-standard security measures including encrypted email communications (Proton Mail), secure payment processing (Stripe PCI-DSS Level 1), and access controls limiting deal information to the assigned analyst. No internet transmission is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security but take all reasonable precautions.
7. Cookies and Analytics. The DealKillShot website uses minimal cookies required for site functionality. We use basic analytics to understand site traffic. The Risk Scanner tool stores no data server-side — all scoring occurs in your browser. Email addresses submitted through the Risk Scanner are used solely to send results and relevant regulatory updates.
8. Your Rights. You may at any time: (a) request access to all personal information we hold about you, (b) request correction of inaccurate information, (c) request deletion of your information, or (d) opt out of any non-essential communications. Contact [email protected] for any of these requests. We will respond within 30 days.
9. International Transfers. Provider operates from the United States. If you are located outside the US, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States. By using our services, you consent to this transfer.
10. Changes. We may update this policy periodically. Material changes will be communicated via email to active clients. Continued use of services after changes constitutes acceptance.
