Privacy Policy
Effective date: July 19, 2026. This policy applies to AEO Zone websites, forms, assessments, and related services unless a separate policy is presented.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect information you provide directly, including your name, business name, email address, telephone number, website, industry, revenue or funding information, assessment responses, referral information, messages, and files. We may also collect technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, referral source, and approximate location through logs, cookies, analytics, and similar technologies.
2. How We Use Information
We may use information to respond to inquiries; provide assessments, scores, recommendations, services, and customer support; process transactions; communicate about requested solutions; improve our websites and offerings; prevent fraud and misuse; maintain records; comply with legal obligations; and send marketing communications where permitted. You may opt out of promotional messages at any time.
3. How Information May Be Shared
We may share information with service providers that support hosting, forms, communications, analytics, payment processing, scheduling, document management, and operations. When you request or authorize a specialized solution, we may share relevant information with an AEO Zone brand, independent professional, funding provider, lender, broker, technology provider, or other solution partner. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights or safety, during a business transfer, or with your consent.
4. Funding and Third-Party Providers
Funding requests may be transmitted to independent financing providers. Their privacy practices, underwriting requirements, credit processes, and communications are governed by their own policies. Review those policies before submitting sensitive information.

We may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, measure traffic, and understand use. Browser settings may allow you to block or delete cookies, but parts of the website may not function as intended.
6. Data Retention and Security
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described, to satisfy legal and operational requirements, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards, but no method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed completely secure.
