Confidentiality and security

An M&A transaction is a business of trust. We protect it at every stage.

From the first contact under NDA to closing, Capittal keeps the company's identity protected and every access to information under control.

01

Confidentiality from the start

Every mandate is presented anonymously as a project. The company's identity is only revealed after the advisor's approval and the investor's signed NDA.

02

Invitation-only process

The advisor selects and approves candidates one by one. Only qualified buyers and investors get access to the documentation.

03

Data room with access audit

Every download and every access is logged, with granular permissions and immediate revocation when required.

04

GDPR compliance

Processing in line with the GDPR and Spanish regulation, with a defined legal basis, data minimisation and the right to erasure.

05

Encryption and a secure channel

Communication encrypted in transit and at rest. Conversations between advisor, seller and investor happen on a secure channel.

In practice

What the market sees — and what it does not — at each stage.

Confidentiality is not a clause: it is how the process works. This is how information is released from first contact to closing.

Identity protected

Blind teaser

The market sees a blind profile: sector, size and ranges. No name, no brand, no data that could identify the company.

Access under agreement

Signed NDA

Before the identity is revealed, every candidate signs a non-disclosure agreement and passes the advisor's qualification filter.

Need-to-know only

Gradual information

The information memorandum and sensitive data are shared in stages, as real interest and the candidate's solvency progress.

Everything traced

Audited data room

During due diligence every access and download is traced. Permissions are set per candidate and revoked instantly if a process falls through.

FAQ

Questions about confidentiality.

What worries a founder most before starting a process: who sees what, when and under which guarantees.

Who gets to know my company's name?

Only the candidates the advisor has qualified and who have signed the NDA. The rest of the market only sees an anonymous teaser with sector, size and ranges.

What does someone signing the NDA commit to?

Confidentiality over the identity and the information received, use restricted to evaluating the transaction, and return or destruction of the documentation if the process does not move forward.

Could my team or my clients find out about the process?

The process is designed so they do not: selective one-by-one contact, information released in stages and communication over secure channels. You decide when and how to communicate internally.

What happens to my data if there is no deal?

The GDPR applies: defined legal basis, data minimisation and the right to erasure. Data room access is revoked and any shared documentation remains bound by the NDA.

Questions about how information is handled? Let's talk before you start.
