ABC Escrow respects the privacy of people who visit abcescrow.com or contact us about a California liquor license or business sale escrow. This notice explains the information the website may collect and how we use it.

Information you give us

When you use the escrow inquiry form, we ask for your name, email address, phone number, business address, and any special instructions you choose to provide. You may also provide information by phone or email. If you engage ABC Escrow, we may receive transaction information such as names of the parties, license and business details, purchase terms, and documents needed to administer the escrow.

Please do not put Social Security numbers, bank credentials, or sensitive claim documents into the general inquiry form. Ask an escrow officer for the correct secure or transaction-specific submission instructions.

Website and technical information

Like other websites, our site and service providers may process device, browser, IP address, referral, and usage information to deliver pages, maintain security, and understand site performance. Cookies and similar technologies may be used for site operation, security, and visitor preferences. You can control cookies through your browser, although some site functions may be affected.

The inquiry form uses Google reCAPTCHA to help detect abuse. Google may process information in connection with that service under its own privacy terms.

How information is used

• Respond to your question and evaluate the appropriate escrow service.
• Prepare, administer, and communicate about an escrow when you engage us.
• Operate, protect, and improve the website and related systems.
• Meet applicable legal, regulatory, recordkeeping, and professional obligations.

When information may be shared

Information may be available to ABC Escrow personnel and service providers who need it to operate the website or assist with an escrow. As a transaction requires, information may also be shared with transaction parties and their representatives, financial institutions, government agencies, or others involved in satisfying the escrow instructions or applicable law. We may respond to lawful requests and protect the rights and security of ABC Escrow and others. Website information is not a substitute for the confidentiality and disclosure provisions of an escrow agreement.

Retention and security

We keep information for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described above and for applicable escrow, legal, tax, or regulatory recordkeeping. We use administrative and technical measures intended to protect information, but no website or electronic transmission can be guaranteed secure.
