Policies
How Meridian Industrial Partners handles information — from visitors, from inbound contacts, and from the engagements that follow.
This page establishes the structure, voice, and Meridian-specific commitments. The boilerplate disclosures required under U.S. state privacy laws and the General Data Protection Regulation are presently scaffolded and marked. They will be replaced with the policy text generated by the consent management platform once the property is provisioned, and reviewed by counsel before deployment. Until then, treat this page as a draft of intent rather than the operative policy.
Section 01
Privacy Policy
Meridian Industrial Partners is a firm about evidence and operating discipline. The way we handle information about you is part of that discipline.
Who we are
Meridian Industrial Partners is operated by Meridian Industrial Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. Meridian Industrial Partners LLC is the data controller for information collected through meridianindustrialpartners.com. References below to “we,” “us,” or “Meridian” mean Meridian Industrial Partners LLC.
What this policy covers
This policy describes how we collect, use, share, and protect information from visitors to meridianindustrialpartners.com, individuals who schedule discovery calls through Calendly, and people who interact with us through email, social, or events.
Meridian-specific commitments
The firm makes several commitments about specific surfaces. These are stated here in plain language because they are substantive to how this site operates, and they will not change without notice on this page.
Public-channel guardrail
The first conversation through this site is a fit conversation, not an exchange of controlled material. Before any contract, drawing, supplier list, specification, or controlled-unclassified information is shared with Meridian, the engagement moves to a protected channel appropriate to the material. Public channels — Calendly, email, web forms — are deliberately constrained to general scoping conversations.
Discovery calls
Discovery calls are scheduled through Calendly. Calendly collects the information necessary to schedule and reschedule the meeting (name, email, requested time). We do not record discovery calls without your knowledge and explicit consent on the call. Notes from the call are retained for the duration of the engagement window.
Engagement material
Once an engagement is established, contract documents, supplier records, evidence files, and operating-system artifacts are exchanged through protected channels with appropriate technical and contractual safeguards in place. This site is not used for the exchange of controlled, classified, export-controlled, or otherwise sensitive material.
Information we collect
Standard categories to enumerate here include: information you provide directly (forms, emails, Calendly bookings); information collected automatically (logs, cookies, analytics); information from third parties (social platforms, analytics providers). Each category requires its lawful basis under GDPR / UK GDPR and its disclosure category under CCPA / CPRA. The consent management platform will generate this section based on the MIP property configuration.
How we use information
Standard purposes to enumerate: deliver the services you request (schedule the discovery call, deliver requested communications), operate and improve the site, understand how the site is used, communicate with you about updates, comply with legal obligations. Each purpose maps to a specific category of information collected.
Sharing and disclosure
Standard recipients to enumerate: service providers (hosting, analytics, email, scheduling), legal authorities where required by law, in connection with a business transaction. Cross-reference applicable safeguards (contractual data protection, standard contractual clauses for international transfers).
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you have rights in relation to information about you. These include rights to access, correct, delete, port, and object to or restrict certain processing of your information, and the right to withdraw consent where consent is the lawful basis for processing.
- If you live in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, your rights are described in the General Data Protection Regulation, the UK GDPR, and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection respectively.
- If you live in California, your rights are described in the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act.
- If you live in Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Iowa, Tennessee, Indiana, Delaware, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Minnesota, Maryland, or other U.S. states with comprehensive privacy laws, your rights are described in those laws.
To exercise any of these rights, write to policies@meridianindustrialpartners.com. We respond within the timeframe required by the law that applies to you.
Data retention
Standard retention statement to articulate, by data category and purpose. Calendly scheduling data is retained for the duration required to schedule and confirm meetings; engagement notes are retained for the duration of the engagement window plus any post-engagement archival period required by professional standards or applicable law.
Children’s privacy
Meridian Industrial Partners is a business-to-business firm and is not directed to children under thirteen. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under thirteen. If you believe a child under thirteen has provided us with personal information, please contact policies@meridianindustrialpartners.com and we will delete the information.
International transfers
Standard cross-border transfer disclosure. Meridian Industrial Partners is operated from the United States. Visitors from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions may have their information transferred to the United States. The consent platform will generate the appropriate Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent disclosure language.
Updates
This policy may change. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. For material changes, we will provide additional notice through the site or by email where we have your address.
Section 02
Terms of Use
The terms below govern your use of meridianindustrialpartners.com.
Acceptance
By using meridianindustrialpartners.com you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site.
Permitted use
You may read the content, schedule a discovery call through the site, contact Meridian by email, and link to public pages. You may share excerpts of published content with attribution. You may not scrape or systematically reproduce the site, use the site to harass or harm others, or interfere with the operation of the site. You may not use this site to transmit controlled, classified, export-controlled, or otherwise sensitive material; if a conversation continues beyond initial scoping, Meridian will establish a protected channel before sensitive material is exchanged.
Intellectual property
The Meridian Industrial Partners name, the language and structure of this site, and the visual identity used here are property of Meridian Industrial Partners LLC. Citations of regulations and standards (DFARS, NIST publications, CMMC framework documents, AS9100, ISO 9001, and related government and industry standards) are public material attributed to the issuing body. Trademarks of third parties are the property of their respective owners.
Discovery calls and scoping conversations
Read carefully
Discovery calls scheduled through this site are scoping conversations, not engagements. No advisory or consulting relationship is created by scheduling, attending, or following up on a discovery call. An engagement begins only when scope, fees, and confidentiality protections have been put in writing through a separate agreement. Information shared in a discovery call should be limited to what can be discussed on a public channel; controlled, classified, or export-controlled material must not be shared until a protected channel and appropriate agreements are in place.
Cross-site references
This site references and links to qualifiedcapacity.com, the public site for Qualified Capacity. Qualified Capacity is also operated by Meridian Industrial Partners LLC. The two sites do different jobs on purpose: Qualified Capacity teaches openly; Meridian engages privately. Each site is governed by its own policies; visitors who follow a link from this site to qualifiedcapacity.com become subject to the Qualified Capacity policies on that domain.
Disclaimers
The site is provided “as is.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, Meridian Industrial Partners LLC and its officers, members, agents, and contractors disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Information presented on this site is general in nature and is not a substitute for assessor, counsel, or C3PAO judgment for any specific shop, contract, or program.
Limitation of liability
Standard limitation-of-liability clause to articulate, with consideration of the business-to-business audience and the fact that the site does not collect payment. The clause should include a cap, exclusions for gross negligence and willful misconduct, and indemnification obligations, and should be reviewed by counsel before deployment.
Indemnification
Standard mutual or one-way indemnification clause depending on counsel’s recommendation for a public-facing professional services site. Reciprocity considerations should be evaluated for the firm’s engagement model.
Dispute resolution and governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms or the site shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
The choice of mandatory arbitration versus court litigation is a strategic decision counsel should make before deployment. The clause above defaults to courts; an arbitration alternative will require an arbitration agreement, class-waiver provisions where lawful, and a venue selection.
Changes
We may update these terms. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the changes.
