Additional Disclosures for Individuals in California

“Controller” refers to the entity that has certain legal rights to determine the purposes for which personal information will be processed and the means by which that processing will happen. As used in this Privacy Policy, the term also includes entities considered to be “Businesses” under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).

“Processor” refers to an entity that processes personal information solely on behalf of its customer, and not for its own business or legal compliance purposes. As used in this Privacy Policy, the term also includes entities considered to be “Service Providers” under the CCPA.

If you are a California resident, California law requires us to provide you with some additional information regarding how we collect, use, and share your “personal information” (as defined in the CCPA). This section applies only to personal information for which we act as a Controller or “business”; it does not apply to personal information for which we act as a Processor or “service provider” on behalf of another entity.

Categories of Information Collected

Throughout this Privacy Policy, we discuss in detail the specific pieces of personal information we collect. Under the CCPA, we are also required to provide you with the “categories” of personal information we collect. The categories we collect are: identifiers (name, email address, postal address, phone number); financial information (bank account and routing information, other payment information, wire transfer instructions, information in support of your accredited investor status, transaction history, other payment information, income sources, net worth, investment preferences); employment information (current and former employers, job titles, duration of employment); transactional information (fund details, investment vehicle, investment amount, and date of the investment); internet or other network or device activity, such as device and usage information; geolocation information; other information that identifies or can be reasonably associated with you, and inferences drawn from any of the above.

• To respond to questions, concerns, or customer service inquiries, and to otherwise fulfill individuals’ requests;
• To send information about our current and future Services;
• To operate our Services;
• To analyze and improve our service;
• To enforce the legal terms that govern our business and online properties;
• To comply with law and legal process and protect rights, safety and property; and
• For other purposes requested or permitted by you or by others acting on your behalf as part of your requested Services.

We share information with the entities and for the purposes set forth in Sharing of Information section of this Privacy Policy.

“Sale” of information 

State of California residents may opt out of the “sale” of their personal information. We do not “sell” personal information within the meaning of California law.

California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, California law may permit you to request that we:

• Inform you of the categories of personal information we have collected about you in the last twelve months; the categories of sources of such information; the categories of personal information that we sold or disclosed about you for a business purpose; the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling your personal information; and the categories of third parties to whom we have “sold” or otherwise disclosed personal information for a business purpose.
• Provide access to and/or a copy of certain information we hold about you.
• Delete certain information we have about you.

Certain information is exempt from such requests under applicable law.  You also may have the right to receive information about the financial incentives that we offer to you (if any). You also have certain rights under the CCPA not to be discriminated against for exercising CCPA rights. We will take steps to verify your identity before responding to your request, which may include requesting that you respond to an email that we send to you, or otherwise verifying your name, email address or other information that will help us to confirm your identity.

If you are an agent making a request on behalf of a consumer, you must verify that you are authorized to make that request, which may include requiring you to provide us with written proof that satisfies CCPA requirements, such as an appropriate letter signed by the consumer or a power of attorney.  We also may require the consumer to verify their identity directly with us.

California Shine the Light Disclosure

California Civil Code Section § 1798.83 permits users of our Services that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purpose. We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.
