This Privacy Policy explains how EAP Exit Report (“EAP Exit Report,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information when you visit eapexitreport.com (the “Site”), subscribe to our communications, or contact us.
EAP Exit Report is the M&A intelligence platform for the employee assistance industry.
Discretion is part of what we do. We publish for an audience that treats confidentiality as non-negotiable, and we handle reader information on the same basis.
This policy applies to personal information we collect through the Site and our related communications, including our newsletter, The Exit Brief.
It does not apply to third-party websites we link to — including the advisory firm Olympic M&A (olympicma.com) — each of which operates under its own privacy policy.
*Information you give us directly*
Newsletter sign-up: your name and email address when you subscribe to The Exit Brief.
Contact and enquiry forms: your name, email address, phone number if you provide one, and any details you choose to include in your message.
Gated content: the information you submit to access a downloadable guide, benchmark, or report.
Correspondence: any information you provide when you write to us or respond to our communications.
If you are exploring a sale, acquisition, or recapitalization and want a confidential conversation, please contact us and we will arrange one through the appropriate channel. Please do not send confidential, sensitive, or transaction-specific information through general Site forms.
We do not ask for, and you should not send us, clinical records, counseling case files, protected health information, employee-level utilization data, or any other personal information relating to the individuals your EAP serves. If you send such information unsolicited, we will delete it.
*Information we collect automatically*
When you visit the Site, we and our service providers may collect certain technical information through cookies and similar technologies, including your IP address and approximate location; browser type, device type, and operating system; pages viewed, links clicked, time on page, and referring website; and the date and time of access.
See Section 6 (Cookies and tracking) for details and your choices.
*Information from third parties*
We may receive limited analytics or engagement data from the platforms we use to deliver content and communications, such as our email service provider and analytics provider.
We use personal information to deliver and administer The Exit Brief and other communications you have requested; provide the guides, benchmarks, and resources you ask for; respond to your enquiries and correspondence; operate, maintain, and improve the Site and our content; understand which topics and articles are most useful to our readers; protect the Site against fraud, abuse, and security threats; and comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Where the UK GDPR or EU GDPR applies, we rely on the following legal bases.
Consent — for example, when you opt in to receive The Exit Brief. You may withdraw consent at any time.
Legitimate interests — to operate and improve the Site, understand our audience, respond to enquiries, and keep our services secure.
Legal obligation — where processing is required to comply with the law.
We share personal information only as described below, and only as necessary.
Service providers (processors): companies that help us run the Site and our communications — for example, our hosting provider [provider], email platform [provider], and analytics provider [provider]. They may process personal information only on our instructions.
Olympic M&A: EAP Exit Report is the publication; Olympic M&A is the independent advisory firm we refer ready readers to. We will not share your information with Olympic M&A for advisory purposes unless you take a step to request contact, such as submitting an advisory enquiry or asking us to arrange an introduction.
Legal and safety reasons: where required by law, regulation, or legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our readers, our business, or others.
Business transfers: if EAP Exit Report is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this policy.
The Site uses cookies and similar technologies to function correctly, remember your preferences, and understand how the Site is used.
Essential cookies — required for the Site to work.
Preference cookies — remember choices you have made, such as dismissing a banner.
Analytics cookies — measure and improve performance, for example [Google Analytics].
Third-party content — pages that embed external media, for example YouTube or LinkedIn, may set cookies controlled by those providers.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings and, where shown, through our cookie banner or preference centre. Disabling some cookies may affect how the Site functions.
We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where required by applicable law.
We are based in [the United Kingdom], and many of our readers are in the United States. Some of our service providers process information in other countries.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, we take steps to ensure it is protected by appropriate safeguards, such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this policy.
Newsletter data — until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it, plus a short suppression record so we do not email you again in error.
Contact and enquiry data — for as long as needed to handle your enquiry and for a reasonable period afterward, then deleted or anonymized.
Analytics data — for the retention period configured with our analytics provider.
When information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.
Subject to applicable law, you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you; request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information; request erasure of your information; object to or restrict certain processing; request portability of information you provided to us; and withdraw consent at any time where we rely on it, for example by using the unsubscribe link in any email.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 13. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.
*Additional rights for U.S. state residents*
If you are a resident of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, or another state with a comprehensive privacy law, you may have the right to know what personal information we collect, to access or delete it, to correct it, and to opt out of sale or targeted advertising.
We do not sell personal information, share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, or use it for profiling that produces legal effects. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
You may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf, and you may appeal a decision by writing to us at the address in Section 13.
*Complaints*
If you are in the UK and believe we have not handled your information properly, you may complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). We would appreciate the chance to address your concern first.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, and disclosure, including encryption in transit, access controls, and vendor due diligence. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
The Site is intended for professional adults — EAP owners, operators, executives, and investors. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with information, contact us and we will delete it.
The Site contains links to third-party websites, including Olympic M&A and external sources we cite. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites, and we encourage you to read their policies.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Material changes will be communicated by email or a notice on the Site where required.
Five placeholders remain: the three provider names in Section 5, the analytics tool in Section 6, the country in Section 7, and the registered address in Section 13.
