Effective date: August 25, 2026
Teknos Associates (“Teknos,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the privacy of visitors to our website and of the clients and prospective clients we serve. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you. It applies to www.teknosassociates.com and to communications you exchange with us by email, telephone, and text message.
Information we collect
We collect information you provide to us directly. This includes your name, business or personal email address, telephone or mobile number, company name and title, and the contents of any message you send us through our contact form, by email, or by phone. When you engage Teknos for valuation or advisory services, we also collect the business and financial information necessary to perform that engagement.
We collect a limited amount of information automatically when you visit the site, including your IP address, browser type, referring page, and pages viewed. This information is used to keep the site secure and to understand which pages are useful to visitors. Our site uses cookies and similar technologies for these purposes, and you can disable cookies through your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not function normally if you do.
How we use your information
We use the information we collect to respond to your inquiries, to provide and administer the professional services you have engaged us to perform, to send you service-related and administrative communications, to maintain the security and integrity of our systems, to meet our professional, legal, tax, and regulatory obligations, and to send you information about Teknos that you have asked to receive.
We do not sell or share your personal information
Teknos Associates does not share or sell consumer personal information, including telephone numbers and mobile numbers, to or with third parties or affiliates for marketing, promotional, or lead generation purposes. We do not rent, trade, or otherwise make your personal information available to data brokers or list vendors.
Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent are never shared with or sold to any third party or affiliate for marketing or lead generation purposes.
We disclose personal information only in these limited circumstances: to service providers who perform functions on our behalf, such as cloud hosting, email delivery, telephony and text messaging, and IT support, and who are contractually bound to protect the information and to use it only to provide services to us; when you direct or authorize us to do so in connection with an engagement; and when required by law, subpoena, court order, or regulatory authority, or where necessary to protect our legal rights or the safety of others.
Text messaging (SMS and MMS)
Teknos Associates sends text messages only to individuals who have given us prior express consent to be contacted at their mobile number. Consent is typically given verbally during a telephone call with a member of our team, or in writing.
By providing your mobile number and consenting to receive text messages, you agree to receive service-related and informational messages from Teknos Associates. Message frequency varies depending on your engagement and the nature of your inquiry. Message and data rates may apply, and are charged by your mobile carrier under the terms of your own plan. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of purchasing or receiving any service from Teknos Associates.
You may opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message you receive from us. After you reply STOP, we will send one final message confirming that you have been unsubscribed, and you will receive no further texts from us unless you opt back in by replying START or by asking a member of our team to re-enroll you. Reply HELP to any message for assistance, or contact us at the phone number or email address below.
Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Text messaging is not a secure channel, and we ask that you not send sensitive personal or financial information by text.
Data retention and security
We retain personal information for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this policy and to satisfy our professional, legal, and regulatory recordkeeping obligations, after which it is deleted or anonymized. We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your choices and rights
You may ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and you may withdraw consent to marketing or text message communications at any time. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under applicable law, including under the California Consumer Privacy Act. Because we do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, there is no need to opt out of such activity, but you are welcome to contact us with any request or question. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any privacy right.
Third-party links and children
Our website may link to third-party sites that we do not control and whose privacy practices are governed by their own policies. Our services are directed to businesses and professionals. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 16.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date above and post the current version on this page.
