Overview
We have adopted general policies and procedures concerning confidentiality, proprietary data and privacy of customer personal information, and the information we gather over the Website is protected by those policies and procedures. Generally, we collect non-public personal information about our clients and investors from the following sources:
Our policy is that:
Collection of Information
In general, you can browse the non-password-protected sections of the Website without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. However, in certain areas of the Website, we may ask you to submit information that identifies you as an individual to us, and we may invite you to request information from us. In addition to any information that you may voluntarily provide, the Website may automatically collect information about you and your use of the Website.
Information We Automatically Collect
We automatically track certain information that your browser makes available whenever you visit a website. This information includes your Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language and one or more files that may uniquely identify your browser.
We also may use data collection devices such as cookies, web beacons, pixels, or other similar technologies to help analyze our web page flow, measure effectiveness, and promote trust and safety. "Cookies" are small files placed on your hard drive that assist us in providing our services. We offer certain features that are only available through the use of a "cookie". Cookies can also help us provide information that is targeted to your interests. Most cookies are "session cookies," meaning that they are automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of a session. You may decline our cookies if your browser permits, although in that case you may not be able to use certain features on the Website and you may be required to reenter your password more frequently during a session.
Information You Provide to Us
Account Registration Information. If you apply for a password to access password-restricted areas on this Website, you must provide to us with certain information, such as your name, mailing address, email address, phone number, personal financial data, investment portfolio and other investment information.

If you sign up for an email newsletter, you have the option to unsubscribe at any time.

By providing this information, you may receive occasional email messages from us or an affiliated organization.
Use of Information
We use the information we collect from our browser and data collection devices such as cookies to improve our operations and facilitate the services you request. We may use information collected from you to measure interest, customize your experience and enforce our Terms of Use. If you apply for a password, we use that data to determine whether you are an accredited investor and have sufficient sophistication, investment experience and wealth to receive information about certain investment options. We may use your information to send correspondence and perform services on your behalf in connection with investment related activities.
We may also use personal information about you to analyze Website usage, to provide the information, content, and services you request, for security or fraud prevent purposes, to improve our content and product offerings, to customize the Website's content, layout, and services, and for any purpose identified in an applicable privacy notice, click-through agreement, or other agreement between you and us. Some of these uses improve the Website and better tailor it to meet your needs, so as to provide you with a smooth, efficient, safe and customized experience while using the Website."

Affiliates and Vendors. In connection with providing our services, it also may be necessary for us to share information with other third parties to help us process transactions relating to your account, including, but not limited to, asset transfers from a financial institution and processing or administering investment transactions and portfolios. In certain instances, we may contract with third parties that are not affiliated with us to perform services for us, and, if necessary, we may disclose information about you to those third parties solely for the purpose of carrying out their assigned responsibilities. In those circumstances, we require such third parties to treat your private information with the same degree of confidentiality that we do. In some instances, the third-party service provider may collect information directly from you. In these cases, you will be notified of the involvement of the service provider, and all additional information you provide them and their additional uses will be strictly up to you. If you provide additional information to a service provider directly, their use of your personal information is governed by their applicable privacy policy.
Compliance with Law. We may also disclose your information as needed to comply with the law. For example, we may need to disclose information in response to a subpoena or to cooperate with regulatory or law enforcement authorities. We may also disclose your information to prevent or investigate a possible crime, such as fraud or identity theft; to protect the security of the Website; to enforce or apply any applicable terms of use or other agreements; or to protect our own rights or property, or the rights, property, or safety of others. We may also disclose your information as permitted or required by applicable law to government and regulatory organizations, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Business Negotiations. We may contemplate, for strategic or other reasons, selling, buying, merging, or otherwise reorganizing our businesses. In negotiating with a third party about entering into such an arrangement, we may need to disclose your personal information. In such cases, we will take reasonable measures to protect the personal information we disclose, for example, by requiring a prospective partner or purchaser to sign a non-disclosure agreement limiting the use and protecting the confidentiality of the information.
Business Transfers. We may transfer the information you submit on or through the Website, including personal information, to a partner or buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, transfer of control, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of our assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by us, a subsidiary, or an affiliated company about our Website users is among the assets transferred.
We do not disclosure personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.

Your information is stored on our servers located in the United States.

We treat data as an asset that must be protected against loss and unauthorized access.
