Grey Birch MA Associates, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company doing business as Grey Birch Associates, LLC ("we," "us," or "our") respects the privacy of visitors to https://www.greybirchassociates.com (the "Website"). We are a Massachusetts-based receivership firm. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and safeguard information collected through the Website, including information submitted through our contact form.

Important Notice About Contact-Form Submissions

Do not submit confidential, proprietary, privileged, or personally sensitive information through the Website or its contact form. In particular, do not send nonpublic financial information, bank or account numbers, tax-identification numbers, Social Security numbers, credentials, trade secrets, customer lists, information subject to a court order or nondisclosure obligation, or documents of any kind. A general description of your situation is enough for us to respond.

Submitting information through the Website does not create a fiduciary, professional, attorney-client, receiver, agency, or other engagement relationship with us. We may already be acting, or later act, for a court, lender, creditor, debtor, purchaser, or other party whose interests may differ from yours. Do not rely on the Website to provide notice, meet a deadline, or make an emergency request. If a matter is urgent, call us at 617.752.1185.

If you need to send sensitive information, please contact us at 617.752.1185 or carl@greybirchassociates.com to obtain an approved secure transmission method.
